    Better Watch Out, 2016. 6,5/10




    If you drop the polished look, made it darker and gritty, drop the humor....and had the kid follow up on some of the nasty things he was saying, coulda been an underground film. Kept me interested til the end.

    Reservoir Dogs (1992). I was a fan of this the first time I saw it way back when, but over time I came to realize it was actually rather wimpy from a story perspective. As fantastic as the acting and direction are, there's almost nothing there as far as story goes. Yet, I remained a fan. But watching it last night for the first time in probably ten years, a number of things quickly jumped out at me. I'm not talking little inconsistencies or trivial continuity errors (though there are plenty), I mean major plot goofs, character problems and implausibilities.

    1. The time line makes no sense, even for a Tarantino flick.

    2. Harvey Keitel's character is actually an enormous dumb-ass.

    3. We know the story Orange tells about the cops in the bathroom is just that -- a story, one he has to memorize as part of his cover. But it seems the movie itself forgets the story is fake and pretends it's real.

    4. As he's about to torture the cop, Bonde turns on the radio to a station playing a music marathon. The song "Stuck in the Middle With You" comes on. After, when he's about to burn the cop to death, the song ends. And that's it. No more music, no more DJ, on a station that's supposedly playing a marathon. And at no time did anyone turn the radio off.

    5. Orange empties his pistol into Blonde. He looks at his gun, sees that it's empty, drops the empty clip...then aims it at Blonde again. Repeat -- a cop who knows his pistol is empty aims his empty pistol at the dead guy he just emptied the pistol into.

    6. At one point Orange says the cops are a block away and are waiting to make their move until Joe arrives. Later, Joe arrives. But do the police arrest him? No. Do they stop him at the door? No. Do they arrest him as he pulls into the lot? No. They wait until he's shown up, has gone into the building, has been involved in a Mexican stand-off and gets shot. Even then, they don't move in. They continue to wait, until Pink has tried to make a run for it, and White has had time to slowly, painfully drag himself over to Orange, scoop Orange into his arms, hear Orange's confession and then put his gun to Orange's head. THEN the cops swoop in. So the question is, why didn't the cops, who knew Joe was coming, arrest him the instant he showed his face? Further, why did it take them ten minutes to travel one block once Joe finally did show up?

    7. If the cops knew this was the meeting place and had been staked out down the block the entire time, certainly they would have seen White arrive with their mortally wounded fellow cop, Orange. They also most certainly would have seen White, Blonde and Pink retrieve the cop hostage from the trunk. They would have had ample time to rush in, arrest White, Pink and Blonde, save Orange and the cop and return to their hiding place down the block long before Joe or Nice Guy Eddie arrived. Instead, they held back while at least one of their fellow cops was inside bleeding to death.

    8. The biggest question of all, though: WHY DID ORANGE CONFESS? He knows White is a piece of shit criminal and murderer. Orange himself witnessed White empty two pistols into a pair of cops, without hesitation. Further, White refused to take him to a hospital despite Orange begging him, for fear of being caught, and instead dragged him to some building and left him laying on the floor bleeding. At the end, Orange is moments away from being rescued, the one person who knew he was undercover is dead, all the other robbers are either dead or caught, and White himself will be locked up for life if he doesn't die from his wound first...yet HE CONFESSES TO WHITE THAT HE'S A COP! That's right -- a cop confesses that he's a cop to a man he knows is a cop killer. An armed cop killer, no less.

    So, yeah. Lots of style, masterful direction, outstanding performances, etc., but it makes about as much sense as trying to catch trout in a mud puddle.

    How To Beat Home Video Games, a three-part made-for-VHS doc from 1982 that discusses strategies on how to beat Atari 2600 games like Pac-Man, Frogger and Donkey Kong (Part 1); "Hot new games" like ET, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Pitfall (Part 2); and exciting next-gen consoles like Atari 5200, Coleco and Vectrex (Part 3). I discovered this doc on the Vidmark channel on Roku and wow, did it take me back to those days when I'd rush home from school in hopes of beating my sisters to the Atari. Nostalgists and gamers genuinely interested in the history of the format will find much to enjoy, but snooty Millennials raised on PS2 and Xbox will likely roll their eyes at the antiquated graphics and outdated lingo.
