Podcast appearances and mentions of John Irvin

I dunno, man - I think this mutually-agreed arrangement is a little undercooked. Mike White drops by again to discuss Raw Deal (1948), directed by Anthony Mann, and then, you guessed it, Raw Deal (1986), directed by John Irvin. Listen as we gasp in wonder at Mann's sumptuous shadowy cinematography and Arnie's enormous pectorals. What do these films have in common other than their names? Probably not a lot, but we sure have a lot of fun discussing them. It's not really possible to spoil Raw Deal '86 because that would require you to be able to make some sense out of its plot, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Raw Deal '48. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 1:06:02 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

Devastato, a livello commerciale, dal capolavoro bellico di Kubrick uscito nello stesso anno, Hamburger Hill racconta la vera storia della collina del titolo, da parte di uno sfortunato plotone. Una collona "tritacarne" che pretenderà un pesante tributo di sangue e si rivelerà quasi nulla come importanza strategica. Ovviamente, non sto parlando di una pellicola senza difetti, ma Hamburger Hill credo abbia una propria dignità e non scivoli nemmeno esageratamente nella retorica, avendo anzi il coraggio di mostrare alcuni aspetti del conflitto in Vietnam tra i più violenti e vergognosi, aiutato da un buon cast e da una regia tutto sommato abbastanza buona. Un film ingiustamente dimenticato, che il sottoscritto vi consiglia invece di recuperare.

There aren't too many people who hold more love for Patrick Swayze than Chris, and this week he's gone for the 1989 action thriller, Next of Kin. Never heard of it?

Truman is happily married to Jessie, a violinist and music teacher. Back on the family spread in Kentucky, Truman's older brother Briar Gates, who has had to struggle ever since the local coal mine was closed down, resents Truman for moving to Chicago and for convincing their younger brother, Gerald Gates, to do the same. Gerald, a truck driver for a vending machine company, feels torn between Truman and Briar. But things are about to take a deadly turn, thanks to Chicago's Isabella crime family, which is led by John Isabella. In an attempt to legitimize his enterprises, John is bringing his son Lawrence Isabella, a recent business school graduate, into the Isabella family operation. That doesn't sit well with Joey Rosselini, whose plan to succeed John as the head of the family is now threatened. Insulted by being forced to groom Lawrence for a position that he feels should be his, Joey reluctantly lets Lawrence accompany him on a little trip to convince the owners of a local vending machine company to sell out to the Isabellas. Joey's method of achieving this goal is to hijack a company truck filled with merchandise, but its driver, Gerald Gates, leads them on a chase and nearly escapes before Joey shoots him dead. By the time Truman figures out that it was Joey who killed Gerald, Briar has arrived in Chicago looking for Joey, and then Lawrence is found dead. John wants revenge, and Joey tells John that it was Truman and Briar who killed Lawrence. Briar later ends up killed by Joey in a shoot-out. Having had more than enough, Truman gets his family together for an all-out war against Joey and his henchmen. ⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support

Four old men hold a dark secret, and the past is coming back to haunt them in this 1981 adaptation of the popular, labyrinthine Peter Straub novel. Grant is back to talk about Ghost Story, as our 13 Days of Halloween series continues.

Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor Bill Bochtrup, who is currently appearing the Los Angeles production of the Tony-winning play The Inheritance, which is described on the Geffen Playhouse's website this way: “Eric and Toby are 30-somethings who seem to be very much in love and thriving. But on the cusp of their engagement, they meet an older man haunted by the past, and a younger man hungry for a future. Chance meetings lead to surprising choices as the lives of three generations interlink and collide—with explosive results.” Bill talks about how he came to be in the project, the challenge of playing two different roles, how he learned and rehearsed a very dialogue heavy scene he has in Part 1 and what it's like to work with co-star Tuc Watkins who he known since his early days in Hollywood. Bill also recalls his decision to come out publicly in 1995 when he was appearing on NYPD Blue as administrative aide John Irvin and how the landscape for gay actors and portrayals has changed since that time. Other topics include: hearing audience members cry during the show, his favorite souvenir from NYPD Blue and the stranger he met while hiking in the Alps who predicted something extraordinary would happen to him soon…and it did, the very next day.

Hello everyone, This is Mirko Guerrini, and I welcome you to the Jazz Transcription Clinic, a monthly interviews podcast where we talk with accomplished jazz doctors about their lives, careers and their personal transcription secrets. On this episode of the Jazz Transcription Clinic Podcast, Mirko Guerrini interviews the guest jazz doctor: Paul Grabowsky. Paul Grabowsky is a pianist, composer, arranger, conductor – and is one of Australia's most distinguished artists. Born in Papua New Guinea, Paul was raised in Melbourne. During the late 70's he became prominent in the music scene in Melbourne, working in various jazz, theatre and cabaret projects. He lived and worked in Europe and the US from 1980-85, during which time he performed with many jazz luminaries including Art Farmer and Johnny Griffin. He returned to Australia in 1986 and established a reputation as one of Australia's leading jazz musicians with such bands as his own trio and sextet, the Wizards of Oz and as musical director for singer Vince Jones. He was musical director of Tonight Live with Steve Vizard (a nationally televised variety show) from 1990-1992. He was Commissioning Editor (Arts and Entertainment) for ABC Television 1995-98. He has written the scores for over twenty feature films in Australia, the UK and US including ‘Innocence' (Paul Cox), ‘Last Orders', ‘The Eye of the Storm', ‘Words and Pictures'(Fred Schepisi) and ‘Shiner' (John Irvin). His television credits include the series ‘Phoenix' and ‘Janus' and the Emmy-winning ‘Empire Falls'. His works for the theatre include four operas and various multimedia works. His most recent opera, created for soprano Emma Matthews, ‘The Space Between', with libretto by Steve Vizard, premiered at Arts Centre Melbourne in September 2018. He is the Founding Artistic Director of the Australian Art Orchestra, which he led from 1994-2013. He has won seven ARIA awards (most recently in 2019 for his recording ‘Tryst' with singer Kate Ceberano)), two Helpmann awards, several APRA and Bell Awards and a Deadly award. He was the Sydney Myer Performing Artist of the Year in 2000, and received the Melbourne Prize for Music in 2007. He was the 2010 Australian National University H.C.Coombs Fellow. He was Artistic Director of the Queensland Music Festival from 2005-2007 and was Artistic Director of the Adelaide Festival of Arts for 2010 and 2012. He is currently a Professor at Monash University, and director of the Monash University Academy of Performing Arts and the Monash Art Ensemble. In 2014 he was made an Officer of the Order of Australia for services to music and arts administration. In this episode, Paul explains his personal transcribing approach and shows how to profit from every transcription you make. He is also providing many examples of solos that have been significant to his musical growth. Among all the great things that Paul says, my favourites are: 'You won't ever sound like somebody else, because you are not that person', 'MIles can play one note and all of the sudden all the energy conveys there!' 'George Coleman is the Mozart of Hard Bop'. Artists mentioned in this episode: Gary Costello, Lennie Tristano, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Billie Holiday, Bud Powell, Fats Navarro, George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Wayne Shorter. a.o.

Il titolo della trentaduesima puntata della stagione numero due di J-TACTICS, trae spunto​ da:​ "Crazy Horse” che è un film del 1996 diretto da John Irvin ed interpretato da Michael Greyeyes.La pellicola si basa sulla storia vera di Oglala Lakota leader dei Sioux, il quale ebbe un ruolo fondamentale nella guerra di resistenza dei pellerossa nativi americani contro la brutale espansione dei bianchi.Fu il responsabile della morte del celeberrimo generale Custer nella famosa battaglia di Little Big Horn.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo specifico alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare l’esponenziale crescita di uno dei nuovi acquisti della campagna di rafforzamento della Juventus la scorsa estate.Adrien Rabiot, il francese arrivato insieme ad Aron Ramsey per dare nuova linfa all’asfittico centrocampo bianconero.Tante le aspettative riposte sul giovane francese preso a parametro zero dal PSG e “ricompensato” con un ingaggio da top player dalla dirigenza juventina.Tante attese e speranze appunto, per un giocatore a lungo inseguito da Paratici, dal carattere sicuramente non semplice ma a detta dei più, dotato di un talento cristallino.Dopo un buon precampionato nell’estate 2019, tuttavia, non si può dire che Adrien sia riuscito a rispettare le speranze riposte su di lui.Un inizio di campionato scialbo, senza acuti di rilievo ed una condizione prima fisica e poi mentale estremamente precaria hanno scandito e caratterizzato l’inizio dell’avventura in bianconero per il ragazzo proveniente da Parigi.Non sorprendono quindi le tante critiche che sono giustamente state mosse a Rabiot ed ovviamente al DS Paratici che tanto a lungo lo ha inseguito acquistandolo a parametro zero ma ricoprendolo d’oro con un ingaggio apparso spropositato a causa dello scarso apporto del giocatore alla causa juventina.Da gennaio in poi fino alla sospensione del campionato per l’emergenza sanitaria dovuta al coronavirus, tante voci sul futuro di Adrien si sono fatte largo.L’onnipresente ed ingombrante madre Veronique la quale scontenta dell’utilizzo, a suo dire, fuori posizione ed a singhiozzo del figlio, avrebbe avanzato richieste per una sua cessione in estate magari nella ricca Premier League, e presunti screzi con i senatori dello spogliatoio ed il tecnico Sarri sarebbero stati elementi determinanti per decretare senza possibilità d’appello una separazione tra la vecchia signora e l’estroso francese.In definitiva un fallimento, un amore mai nato, un acquisto sbagliato.D’altronde non tutti i matrimoni sono felici, e quello tra Adrien e la Juve pareva quindi inesorabilmente avviarsi verso un divorzio annunciato e doloroso.Tuttavia si sa, il gioco del calcio non è una scienza esatta.Dopo qualche prova incolore nelle sfide di coppa Italia post lockdown con Milan e Napoli, Rabiot proprio come il “cavallo pazzo” protagonista della pellicola che da il titolo all’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS inizia la sua battaglia e con i suoi fluenti capelli riccioli sciolti e con le sue sgroppate palla al piede inizia inaspettatamente a sciorinare prove via via sempre più convincenti, condite da gol (stupendo quello realizzato a San Siro nella sfida poi persa con il Milan), assist e recuperi palla.Un giocatore nuovo, atleticamente performante e soprattutto mentalmente presente.Una vera e propria metamorfosi dove ripartenze palla al piede e capelli al vento hanno portato gli addetti ai lavori e non solo a definire Adrien, il “Crazy horse” – cavallo pazzo bianconero.Una freccia in più nella faretra di mister Sarri ed un inaspettato valore aggiunto nello stantio centrocampo juventino.Ci chiediamo, quali i motivi della metamorfosi in positivo del giocatore francese?Alla luce delle brillanti e convincenti prove di Rabiot nelle ultime settimane, la Juve dovrebbe confermare il ragazzo e puntare anche su di lui per il prossimo centrocampo già arricchito dall’arrivo di Arthur dal Barcellona?Qual è il vero Rabiot, il giocatore indolente, svogliato e fuori dallo spartito di mister Sarri della prima parte di stagione o il “cavallo pazzo” dinamico e decisivo ammirato nelle ultime settimane?Conclusivamente, Sarri ha meriti nella metamorfosi del giocatore?Sarà nostro gradito ospite lo stimato amico Mirko Di Natale esclusivista per TuttoJuve.comDiteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live!Ecco i link dei nostri social:CANALE TELEGRAM:https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAE2Dp-yj5b1N4SNcMQINSTAGRAM:http://instagram.com/jtactics_FACEBOOK:http://m.facebook.com/jtacticsmdn/

El productor Bob Johnston, que le contrataría para CBS en Nashville, le llevó a la Music City, donde era fácil verle actuar en los más diversos clubs mientras se convirtió en músico de sesión, aunque siempre le dijeron que tocaba demasiado fuerte. Intervino en el Nashville Skyline, New Morning y Self-Portrait de Dylan, aunque nunca estuvo demasiado cerca de las composiciones ni de las posturas personales del genio de Minnesota. Por eso puede incluso extrañar la selección de algunas de las 10 canciones que en 2014 completaron un disco dedicado a versionar canciones del bardo bajo el título de Off the Grid - Doin' It Dylan. Durante una buena parte de los 60 y 70 participó en grabaciones de Marty Robbins, uno de sus favoritos, Michael Martin Murphey, Tanya Tucker, Earl Scruggs y sus amigos del sello Capricorn Records, especialmente la Marshall Tucker Band, Grinderswitch y Elvin Bishop. También estuvo con George Harrison y Ringo Starr en sus primeras grabaciones en solitario y fue miembro de la banda de acompañamiento de Leonard Cohen en sus giras. Incluso llegó a producir a Elephant Mountain y a los Youngbloods. Muy poco antes de cumplir 80 años, Charlie Daniels publicó Nighthawk (algo así como “chotacabras”), un disco acústico en homenaje a los vaqueros. Se trata de una colección de temas de cowboys que siempre quiso grabar sin ningún tipo de instrumentación eléctrica, tal y como pudieran cantarse en cualquier fogata nocturna tras una larga jornada de trabajo. Ávido lector, Charlie Daniels siempre se inclinó por los libros sobre el Oeste. De hecho, el título de este trabajo hacía referencia a la novela de Louis L’Amour de 1962. Night Hawk se convirtió en su último álbum en vida. “(Ghost) Riders In the Sky: A Cowboy Legend” es un tema que Stan Jones escribió en 1948 contando la historia de un cowboy que tiene la visión de ser perseguido por fantasmagóricos vaqueros malditos en el cielo. Uno de ellos le conmina a abandonar sus costumbres o será condenado a unirse a ellos para siempre “tratando de atrapar la manada del diablo por los cielos sin fin”. En 1970 apareció el primer trabajo en solitario, Charlie Daniels, publicado por Capitol. Fue cuando decidió formar la Charlie Daniels Band y empiezan a asentarse los cimientos del llamado Southern rock. Honey In The Rock llegó en 1973 y allí se incluyó el single "Uneasy Rider", que fue su primera aparición en las listas de country. Aquella canción es lo más parecido a un anticipo de las formas de "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Charlie Daniels tomó el papel de un hippie de pelo largo que sufre un pinchazo y se encuentra en un bar de rednecks donde no es bienvenido. Una situación nada cómoda. Un año más tarde, apareció Fire On The Mountain, su álbum de debut para Epic, su nueva compañía. Con Dickey Betts de los Allman Brothers tocando el dobro, allí estaba "Long Haired Country Boy", toda una sorpresa para la escena de Nashville, donde se celebraba el fumar marihuana por la mañana y emborracharse por la noche. Cuando el single se reeditó en 1980, se suavizó la letra. Trabajando en aquel Fire On The Mountain, Charlie decidió grabar algunas canciones en directo en un auditorio de Nashville. Homenajeando a Tennessee, conocido como "The Volunteer State", la Charlie Daniels Band llamó al concierto "Volunteer Jam" e invitó a viejos amigos como los Allman Brothers o la Marshall Tucker Band. En las primeras ediciones del álbum Fire On The Mountain se incluyó un single con tres de aquellas grabaciones en directo. Aquel show pasó a celebrarse casi cada año y se convirtió en toda una institución. Con la presencia de los más diversos artistas. A finales de 1975 aparecía Nightrider que abría el adictivo “Texas”, una de las más fieras interpretaciones del Western swing tejano, que entendimos como un homenaje de la Charlie Daniels Band a la herencia de Bob Wills y sus Texas Playboys. Hoy estamos dedicando nuestro programa al carismático y controvertido Charlie Daniels, un mocetón nacido en Wilmington, North Carolina, que se trasladó con su familia a Georgia siendo muy pequeño. Alrededor de 1953 formó una banda de bluegrass, The Misty Mountain Boys, y empezó a escribir sus primeras canciones para, un poco más tarde, dedicarse a tocar rock'n'roll y al rhythm'n'blues con los Rockets en Washington D.C. y su área de influencia. En el 59 grabó con ellos "Jaguar", un single instrumental para Epic en Fort Worth, Texas, que les hizo cambiar el nombre precisamente al de Jaguars. Es el que estaba sonando de fondo. Pero al iniciarse los años 60, Charlie Daniels, criado en el country, un amante del del swing, del bluegrass de Benny Martin, y un notable cantante y guitarrista de rock'n'roll, descubrió el jazz, e hizo algunos intentos dentro del estilo que no fructificaron. De vuelta a sus géneros más cercanos, en 1964 compuso "It Hurts Me", que aparecería en la voz de Elvis Presley como cara B de "Kissin' Cousins". Y en el 66 volvió a grabar con los Jaguars. Fue la primera vez que escuchamos su voz en “In The Middle of the Heartache”, un tema compuesto por él y muy propio del llamado soul de los ojos azules de entonces. Fue grabado en Nueva Orleans y se editó en single en 1966. Diez años más tarde, la Charlie Daniels Band abría una etapa especialmente prolífica con grabaciones como High Lonesome, cuyo tema de apertura era “Billy The Kid”, una de sus mejores canciones y en la que contó con George McCorkle de la Marshall Tucker Band haciéndose cargo de la guitarra acústica. En aquellos momentos, sus lanzamientos como grupo fueron también acompañados de distintos volúmenes de Volunteer Jam, que se había convertido en uno de los puntos de encuentro inevitables. Siguiendo con algunos personajes legendarios, Charlie Daniels participó en un proyecto titulado The Legend of Jesse James, grabado en 1979 y publicado al año siguiente que daba continuación a White Mansions, que en 1978 documentaba la vida de los confederados durante la Guerra Civil Americana. Lo curioso es que todas las composiciones eran de Paul Kennerly, por entonces pareja de Emmylou Harris. Daniels intervino en tres cortes, dos de ellos instrumentales. Mientras en aquel proyecto Levon Helm tomaba el papel de Jesse James, Johnny Cash era su hermano Frank y Emmylou Harris su mujer Zerelda, Charlie Daniels representó a Cole Younger, el hermano mayor de los cuatro que formaron parte de la banda desde el comienzo. Bajo ese rol interpretó “Riding with Jesse James”, convertida en una de las curiosidades de su carrera. En el año en que grabó aquella colaboración, 1979, llegó “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”, una canción sobre un duelo de fiddles entre el diablo y un joven inexperto y presuntuoso. Supuso un cambio sustancial para la Charlie Daniels Band. Singles anteriores le habían hecho ganar aceptación en las emisoras de rock, pero los oyentes de country no respondían. Aunque siguieron siendo una de las bandas punteras en el movimiento del rock sureño, rompieron el mercado vaquero con la adaptación de un cuento clásico y la interpretación al fiddle de su líder. Consiguieron dos premios Grammy y el reconocimiento de todos gracias a un tema que en principio no estaba ni tan siquiera incluido en su álbum Million Mile Reflections, que tomo el título recordando que la banda había superado el millón de millas de recorrido en sus giras. Además, en 1980 participó en la película Urban Cowboy y dejó un par de temas en su banda sonora, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia" y "Falling In Love For The Night", aprovechando el éxito para seguir con su Volunteer Jam y editar un nuevo álbum, Full Moon. Aquel disco tuvo como como apertura una de sus canciones legendarias, "The Legend Of Wooley Swamp". Un tema que cuenta la historia de Lucius Clay, un viejo codicioso, más preocupado por el dinero que por los demás. Guardaba todo su dinero en viejos tarros enterrados alrededor de su jardín, que desenterraba durante las noches de verano para recontar su fortuna. Tres jóvenes, conocidos como los Cable Boys, se enteraron del asunto y decidieron ir una noche al pantano de Wooley Swamp y llevarse el dinero. Le encontraron desenterrando los tarros, le golpearon y arrojaron su cuerpo al pantano. Pero según escapaban con el dinero fueron hundiéndose en las arenas movedizas, mientras escuchaban reírse al viejo. En este recorrido por algunos de los momentos más relevantes y curiosos de la larga carrera de Charlie Daniels, no hemos ido a 1989, cuando añadió un tema a Next Of Kin, un thriller protagonizado por Patrick Swayze y Liam Neeson bajo la dirección de John Irvin. Aquella banda sonora nos permitió escuchar 10 canciones inéditas de Gregg Allman junto a Lori Yates, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Van Shelton, Ricky Skaggs, Sweethearts of the Rodeo, George Jones, Duane Eddy y nuestro protagonista de hoy, que aportó “My Sweet Baby’s Gone”. El disco se descatalogó rápidamente y se ha convertido en toda una pieza de coleccionista que hoy hemos querido recuperar. Pero 1990 apareció con mejor disposición y Simple Man estuvo a punto de alcanzar la cima de las listas de country. Era un disco casi conceptual que nos devolvió a un Charlie Daniels pletórico. Tanto, que un año más tarde anunció el regreso de Volunteer Jam. En aquel trabajo había temas tan melancólicos como “Mr. DJ”, donde un camionero pide al disc jockey que pinche una canción para un viejo que está lejos de casa, con mil millas por delante y mil millas por detrás, un dólar en el bolsillo y una mujer en la cabeza. Y aprovecha para recordar a Waylon, Willie, los Oak Ridge Boys Alabama, George Jones y Mickey Gilley, entre otros. Es una buena forma de recordar en la despedida del programa de hoy a Charlie Daniels, que moría el pasado lunes. Escuchar audio

Desperate to find a movie Fran loves more than Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves we watch 1991's 'Robin Hood', a British production starring Uma Thurman and 2018's 'Robin Hood', starring Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx and Ben Mendelsohn. Additionally, we interview King Louis the 16th of France who is planning his comeback to the throne following his imprisonment. SHOW NOTES Robin Hood is a 1991 British adventure film directed by John Irvin, executive produced by John McTiernan and starring Patrick Bergin, Uma Thurman, Jürgen Prochnow, Jeroen Krabbé and Edward Fox. Although originally intended for a theatrical release in the United States and South America, the film was premiered on the Fox network in those territories a month before the release of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. It was released in cinemas in several countries in Europe and elsewhere, including Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Robin Hood is a 2018 American action-adventure film directed by Otto Bathurst and written by Ben Chandler and David James Kelly, from a story by Chandler. It is a quasi-contemporary retelling of the Robin Hood legend, and follows his training by John to steal from the Sheriff of Nottingham. The film stars Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, Ben Mendelsohn, Eve Hewson, Tim Minchin, and Jamie Dornan. King Louis the 16th was King of France until he was overthrown by the French Revolution in 1792.

Every few years it seems, two films telling the same (or similar) story start production near the same time and inevitably, it turns into a race to see who gets to the box office first and who ends up the victor. Armageddon vs. Deep Impact. Antz vs. A Bug’s Life. Snow White and the Huntsman vs. Mirror Mirror. So when John Irvin’s film was set to release opposite Kevin Reynolds’ Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, the studio balked and opted to just release it on television in the States. But does that mean the film was bad? Or just not, well, a fun Hollywood romp? Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Robin Hood series with Irvin’s 1991 film Robin Hood. We talk about what works in this film, but how unfortunately all of that is thrown out of balance by everything that doesn’t work. We marvel at the fact that this is the film that Robin Hood scholars say is closest to the myths. We chat about the performances and wonder if the rough performances are because of the script, the direction, or the actors themselves. And we chat about some changes made to the myth that actually make for a more interesting film, or at least would have if the rest around them worked better. It’s a frustrating entry to our series, but certainly allows for a fun-filled chat, so tune in! The Next Reel – when the movie ends, our conversation begins.

En la primera aparición televisiva en su ya larga y legendaria carrera, Sir Alec Guinness encarna al monacal agente de inteligencia George Smiley, vehículo a través del cual John le Carré despliega los grandes temas que cruzan su obra: el factor humano como debilidad y fortaleza; las labores de inteligencia como misión y vocación; y el cuestionamiento radical al valor de la "causa" por la que tanto y tantos se sacrifican. Mucho de puzzle, algo de thriller y bastante de tragedia hicieron del libro del libro una cumbre en la obra de su autor, cuya densidad rebalsa generosamente a esta adaptación y a otra posterior con Gary Oldman.

In 1981 John Irvin brought many elder statesmen of Hollywood together to bring Peter Staub's novel Ghost Story to the big screen. Hollywood legends like Fred Astaire, John Houseman, Melvyn Douglas, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. are joined by the highly expressive Craig Wasson and the gorgeous Borg Queen Alice Krige in this dramatic, supernatural, mystery film.

Acts 9:1-22, 1 Timothy 1:12-17 (John Irvin)

Steve Cooper talks with actor Bill Brochtrup. Bill was originally cast for just two episodes of NYPD Blue during the show's second season. However, when his splendid portrayal of P.A.A. John Irvin won over the show's producers and audience alike, he was invited to reprise the very same role in comedy series Public Morals and two years later he returned to NYPD Blue as Irvin, and continued to be a much-loved character for 8 seasons. His other TV roles include shows such as Murder, She Wrote, Dharma & Greg, Without a Trace, Dexter, Kendra plus recurring roles in Shameless and Major Crimes.

VHS Rewind! Season 4 Episode 1 Ghost Story (1981) Some supernatural revenge should be visited upon the filmmakers for this travesty of a film. We at VHS Rewind feel that Peter Straub's novel, Ghost Story, upon which this film is (shall we say, loosely) based, is one of the great horror novels of all time. It has the scope and heft of one of those bricks produced by Stephen King (Salem's Lot; It; The Tommyknockers; etc.) but is much more literate and creepy and atmospheric. VHS Rewind is only too happy to dedicate our latest episode discussing why this film is a damn shame, a missed opportunity of epic proportions, from top to bottom. The raping of Straub's novel is just the first (albeit the most egregious) of the movie's sins. Then there is the unforgivable error of casting Craig Wasson: why did people cast this utterly talentless individual? This is the man who would go on to single handedly destroy Brian DePalma's BODY DOUBLE (1984). An actor with less charisma (and, apparently, a smaller dick) would be very hard to find. We are VHS Rewind were relieved to discover Craig Wasson seems to have stopped getting work after 2006. Is it us or does Craig Wasson look like a bastard cross between Bill Maher and Robert Englund (with none of the talent of even Mr. Englund)? And what of the famed Chowder Society? For an old-timer like myself, it is great to see this quartet of octogenarians (the great John Houseman; the great Fred Astaire; Douglas Fairbanks Jr (I guess he was great, but who was he?); and Melvyn Douglas (I guess he was great, but who was he?) but neither the director (John Irvin) nor the screenwriter (Lawrence D. Cohen) do these actors any favors. VHS Rewind is also only too happy to expound (and at length) upon the virtues of the film's one shining star: actress Alice Krige, who plays the sexy-as-all-get-out vengeful ghost. This is meant as a compliment but Ms. Krige's copious nudity is surpassed by her acting here: she does portray an especially menacing supernatural entity. We hope you will join VHS Rewind for this seance where we wish evil retribution upon the filmmakers responsible for 1981's GHOST STORY.

In this week's episode Simon and Keith talk about the British filmmaker John Irvin. There is very little they known about this director, yet he has been making films for 4 decades. Films that both hosts had seen at the video shop, like ROBIN HOOD (not the Kevin Costner one), NEXT OF KIN and SHINER, but didn't realise they were made by the same man. The films under discussion is GHOST STORY, RAW DEAL, HAMBURGER HILL and FREEFALL. Movie Heaven Movie Hell is a show where filmmakers Simon Aitken (BLOOD + ROSES, POST-ITS, MODERN LOVE) and Keith Eyles (FEAR VIEW, DRIVEN INSANE, CROSSED LINES) go through the A-Z of directors. Simon and Keith talk about their favourite and least favourite film from that director's body of work.

On this week's episode, the gang heads to Chicago by way of Kentucky to roughhouse with Patrick Swayze and Liam Neeson in the action packed family drama, Next of Kin! How many ponytails does Swayze have going at once here? Why cast Liam Neeson as a man born and bred in the rich hills of Kentucky coal country? And why is the Chicago mafia specializing in cigarette dispensers and pinball machines? PLUS: Is that noted comedian Ben Stiller playing a Sicilian gangster? Next of Kin stars the legendary Patrick Swayze, Liam Neeson, Bill Paxton, Ben Stiller, Helen Hunt, Michael J. Pollard and Internet madman, Adam Baldwin; directed by John Irvin.
