CANNON FEVER!

[manuma]

Le Bayou... Pour moi l'une des grandes réussites de la Cannon avec Runaway Train, 52 Pick up de Frankenheimer et Street Smart de Jerry Schatzberg.

[Manolito]

MGM a déjà sorti en France plusieurs des "contes de fée" cannon produit à la fin des années 80 en Israel (de mémoire, au moins "La belle au bois dormant" et "Le petit chaperon rouge") Le22 mars, ils sortent "La belle et la bête" de Eugene Marner, avec notamment John Savage et Rebecca De Mornay... Ainsi que "Blanche neige" de Michael Berz avec Diana Rigg ; "Hansel et Gretel" de Len Talan avec David Warner.

J'avais manqué la belle au bois dormant quand il était sorti en supermarché, je suis dégouté !

Par contre, j'avais choppé le petit chaperon rouge, dont j'avais parlé sur le forum. Une belle loose si je me souviens bien !

la bande-annonce juste pour le plaisir de Journey to the center of the earth, sorti en 1989 chez Delta Video

http://videodetective.com/default.asp?f ... shedID=827

quelques infos sur le film : an unfinished Rusty Lemorande project, which was to be a cyberpunk update on the Jules Verne tale of the same name, and the unfinished sequel to Albert Pyun's Alien from L.A., which starred swimsuit model Kathy Ireland. The film was probably caught up in the tumult of Cannon's bankruptcy, and at 70 minutes seems quite unfinished and makes little sense. It is also lacking full company and producer credits.

Bon je savait pas ou le mettre en attendant que MadXav ouvre un sujet sur les Missing in Action.

Reçu en fin de matiné le Portés Disparus en BR.
Menu inexistant, comme sur Conan le Destructeur sorti aussi chez MGM. Le seul bonus une BA du film pas vu si s'était du SD upscalé ou autre.



L'image affiche une belle définition, avec pas mal de grain. On a un définition qui surpasse et entèrre définitivement le vieux DVD (sans 16/9). Toutes les pistes sons sont mono d'origine.

Et pour bien faire j'avais commander le DVD UK de la suite, qui est aussi arrivé aujourd'hui et qui contient bien VF et st-fr, chose important celui-ci est bien 16/9 ouf !

Ben le plus simple était que tu ouvres le sujet !

R.I.P Menahem Golan

[Lord Taki]

La Delta Force

[Mercador]

Pour lui rendre hommage, je ferais peut-être l'effort surhumain de regarder enfin Lambada, the forbidden dance.

[Mercador]

Un très bel hommage sur AICN. Morceaux choisis :

Norris's best movie with Cannon was also Golan's finest hour as a director. Basically a remake of OPERATION THUNDERBOLT, Golan's THE DELTA FORCE combines a credible highjacking drama (featuring accomplished actors such as Robert Forster, Shelly Winters, Martin Balsam and George Kennedy) with wish-fulfillment action centered on the titular strike force successfully resolving a hostage situation (unlike the very real hostage-rescue debacle of Iran in the late '70s). There's a good deal of Israeli nationalism fueling Golan's film, but he manages to give Forster's terrorist villain a human moment here and there to remind us that there's a cause-and-effect element at play. Ultimately, the film devolves into a silly action movie, but it's so much fun that you can't complain. You saw Chuck Norris's face on the poster. You knew what you were getting into.

For a while, the least heralded aspect of Cannon's '80s run was the company's dedication to less commercial dramas and/or art house fare. Barbet Schroeder's BARFLY lost money initially, but eventually became a cult/critical hit for its knockabout depiction of Charles Bukowski's booze-drenched Los Angeles. It's a rare drama about drunks that takes them as they are, refusing to turn their affliction into a saga of recovery; it's not a pretty picture, but there's romance and poetry amidst the brawling and puking. Golan-Globus also had a nice run with director Andrey Konchalovsky, whose RUNAWAY TRAIN was based on a script by Akira Kurosawa and remains one of the most underrated films of the 1980s. And though the finished film may not be his finest work, you've got to give Golan-Globus credit for financing John Cassavetes's LOVE STREAMS while the director was gravely ill with cirrhosis.

(...)

Golan parted ways with Globus in 1989 and started up 21st Century Film Corporation, which was responsible for a few modest hits, but is best remembered today for nearly making SPIDER-MAN with James Cameron (after Golan failed to get his own take on the webslinger before cameras in the late '80s). Golan did produce a big-screen version of CAPTAIN AMERICA in 1990, and it is inexplicably terrible.

It's heartening to know that Golan lived long enough to see various film societies around the world celebrate the true artistic triumphs of Cannon. Hopefully, young producers and filmmakers will look to Golan's example and attempt a similar balance of trash and tasteful. Both can be immensely satisfying; the trick is to love movies so much you can't imagine doing anything else. This is how Menahem Golan lived his life. If he had to make four too many DEATH WISHes to give us one BARFLY, so be it. BARFLY was worth it. And, fuck it, so was DEATH WISH 3.
