D-Man Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Films by Brian De Palma I can't believe I forgot to mention during the review: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE - I haven't seen it. We need to cover it. THE FURY - His other psychic teenager picture. Released right after CARRIE. I have this on VHS. It's cheesy fun. BODY DOUBLE - So bad it's good. Probably the cheesiest film in his catalogue. My wife and I laughed our asses off at this one. Few directors could ever hope to exhibit such a wildly diverse catalog of films as De Palma. His range and his ability to experiment with different stories is perhaps unmatched in Hollywood. He had a number of flops (WISE GUYS, BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, MISSION TO MARS) but they are always interesting failures. Having said all that I have to admit that MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is perhaps my favorite De Palma film. I love the hell out of that stylish spy thriller. It has all the ingredients for the kind of smart action adventure I totally dig. The silent infiltration of CIA headquarters actually surpasses it's influences (RIFIFFI, TOPKAPI) in sheer nail biting suspense. A number of complaints are leveled at it's lack of realism but if you can buy into the hyper comic book aesthetic and appreciate the brilliant crosses and double crossses and the absolutely kinetic action sequences then you will be in for a fun ride. One of my favorite films of the 90s. Just make sure you close your eyes during the opening credits. Oddly, it's full of spoilers for the film.

Released right after CARRIE. I have this on VHS. It's cheesy fun. I haven't seen Phantom either. And I want to lots. Fury I'd love to rewatch as well. Edit: I think the next film we cover should be straight-ahead horror though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'll say it again: I'm big in Maryland. If I have so many listeners there, shouldn't I be up to my elbows in free meth by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
