'Time Bandits' – Terry Gilliam's fractured fairy tale on HBO Max and Criterion Channel
‘Time Bandits’ – Terry Gilliam’s fractured fairy tale on HBO Max and Criterion Channel
Time Bandits (1981) is a fractured fairy tale from the cracked imagination of Terry Gilliam, who wrote the warped adventure with fellow Monty Python alum Michael Palin. It’s a strange and weird and wonderful mix of boy’s own adventure, Python-esque humor, and grim irony, all wrapped in tall tales, ancient myths, and historical figures.
British schoolboy Kevin (Craig Warnock) is pulled through a…

Harry and the Hendersons (1987)
I’ve had some bad experiences with Bigfoot movies. I remember enjoying Abominable, which is basically Rear Window with a Skunk Ape. Sasquatch, with Lance Henriksen is so bad you’re better off forgetting it. Most examples of the "genre" either fall into the offensive category. At best you'll get something so bad it's good again (I recommend Nightclaws if that’s what you’re looking for). After all these horror movies, it was a surprise to find a gentle, family friendly and charming Abominable Snowman film in the form of Harry and the Hendersons even more surprising is that it's good!
While on a family hunting/camping trip, the Hendersons – father George (John Lithgow), mother Nancy (Melinda Dillon) and their two children Sarah (Margaret Langrick) and Ernie (Joshua Rudoy) – hit a Sasquatch with their car. Unaware that it’s merely knocked out, they strap it to the roof of their vehicle and bring it home.
Created by Rick Baker, “Harry” is a marvellous special effect. You can’t tell whether it’s someone in a suit and makeup or an elaborate electronic. I’m sure it’s a mixture of both but the creature’s movements, its facial expressions, the way it’s shot make it completely convincing. If I didn’t know any better, I’d swear they actually had a Sasquatch on-screen.
This is not a frightening film at all, but if you’re looking to make one, you’ve got to see the way director William Dear handles Harry. You are slowly teased the design. As the Hendersons peer over what they think is a carcass that would send any cryptozoologist into an ocean of ectasy, you see just enough to wet your appetite. You’ll be on your tiptoes trying to peer over the edge of your TV to see Harry’s face and when they finally show the creature in its full glory, you’re blown away. The special effects give Harry a wonderfully expressive face that conveys emotions you instantly relate to. Even without any dialogue, Harry becomes an instantly lovable entity.
The film also features a surprisingly strong character arc for John Lithgow’s character, George. A run-of-the-mill picture would have an obvious change that goes something like this: at first, he doesn’t like Harry. Maybe he wants to kill, or sell the creature for money. By the end, he’d consider Harry a friend or a member of the family. In Harry and the Hendersons, the character is deeper than that. We learn about George's relationship with his father (M. Emmet Walsh), what made him the man he is today and where he’ll go in the future. John Lithgow is a great actor and it’s satisfying to see that he isn’t simply walking around in a dumb role while shenanigans happen around the house. There’s a moment where he spends time drawing a promotional poster for his father’s store and the way that plays out hit a strong cord with me.
There are plenty of laughs and warm emotions found throughout the film. Even the villains are not really that bad and the conclusion resists the obvious, lame decisions we often see in children’s films. Instead, it opts for the right choice and pursues the tone it’s had throughout all the way through.
I’m not going to call the picture a classic. You can’t help but compare the film to E.T. and this just isn't on that same level. Some of the characters are dropped halfway through and not all of the jokes work… but that’s ok. It's the perfect pick for a family movie night that includes both the young and the old. (On VHS, April 24, 2018)

"American Nightmare" (Documental)
La serie de true crime de Netflix "American Nightmare" relata la terrible experiencia de la secuestrada Denise Huskins y el papel que la película de David Fincher "Gone Girl" (2014) pudo haber desempeñado en cómo se trató el caso.
En marzo de 2015, Denise Huskins, una mujer de Vallejo (California), fue secuestrada en plena noche en casa de su novio, quedó retenida como rehén durante 48 horas y fue violada.
Sin embargo, al ser liberada, como se detalla en la miniserie de Netflix "American Nightmare" (traducida como "Pesadilla de un secuestro en California"), fue acusada por la policía de orquestar la terrorífica experiencia.
No sólo eso.
Su caso fue relacionado con "Gone Girl "–"Perdida", una película de 2014 basada en el exitoso libro homónimo escrito en 2012 por Gillian Flynn– tanto por los medios de comunicación como por un agente del FBI que la investigaba.
En la película, una mujer sociópata, Amy (interpretada por Rosamund Pike), idea un elaborado plan y finge su propio secuestro para castigar a su marido y a su familia.
Para Huskins, esta falsa caracterización y el flagrante error judicial violaron de nuevo a una víctima vulnerable.
En el segundo episodio de la serie de tres partes –subtitulado "Gone Girl", y que también incluye imágenes de la película–, Huskins revive la incredulidad que sintió al escapar de su cautiverio y encontrarse bajo interrogatorio en una sala de detención de la policía como sospechosa.
"Durante las últimas 48 horas he estado viviendo momento a momento, intentando sobrevivir", pensó. "Lo último en lo que piensas es: 'Si sobrevivo, tengo que asegurarme de que todo esto sea creíble'".
Los detalles del caso de Huskins eran extraordinarios, tanto que la policía no podía concebir que fuera real.
Tanto Huskins como su novio, Aaron Quinn, contaron lo mismo sobre lo ocurrido aquella noche: intrusos vestidos con trajes de neopreno los ataron, los obligaron a tomar sedantes y les taparon los ojos con gafas oscuras, mientras un mensaje pregrabado les decía que Huskins sería secuestrada y liberada 48 horas después a cambio de un rescate.
Cuando Quinn despertó, se habían llevado a Huskins, y tenía mensajes de texto exigiendo dos pagos de US$8.500 cada uno para que la dejaran libre, con la condición de no llamar a la policía.
La policía de Vallejo intervino, pero justo cuando empezaban a culpar del secuestro a Quinn, Huskins reapareció a unos 640 km de distancia, en Huntington Beach, cerca de la casa de sus padres.
Explicó que su secuestrador le dijo que si contaba a las autoridades que había sido violada, mataría a su familia, por lo que al principio lo negó.
El mismo día de la liberación de Huskins, el portavoz de la policía de Vallejo, el teniente Kenny Park, declaró en una multitudinaria rueda de prensa que creían que la pareja había inventado lo sucedido.
"El sr. Quinn y la sra. Huskins han saqueado valiosos recursos y han desviado la atención de las verdaderas víctimas, al tiempo que han infundido miedo entre los vecinos. Así que son ellos quienes deben una disculpa a esta comunidad".
El abogado de Huskins, Doug Rappaport, afirma en la serie que al día siguiente, después de que un agente del FBI entrevistara a la mujer, le planteó dudas sobre si su cliente estaba diciendo la verdad.
"¿No has visto la película Gone Girl?", haciendo referencia explícita a la cinta de David Fincher por su nombre.
"¿Cómo es posible que esta persona encargada de investigar este crimen piense que es como una película de Ben Affleck? Eso es Hollywood. Esto es la vida real", plantea Rappaport. "Está tan seguro de que tiene razón: se llama sesgo de confirmación".
En la miniseriel, los realizadores afirman que el FBI no ha hecho pública la grabación de esta entrevista. La BBC se puso en contacto con el FBI para pedirle comentarios, pero no hubo respuesta.
La prensa corrió con las afirmaciones falsas, con titulares que jugaban con la asociación de Gone Girl, ya que la película estaba muy fresca en la mente de la gente, al haber sido estrenada en octubre de 2014, un año antes del secuestro de Huskins.
La cadena ABC News titul�� "Supuesto secuestro de Denise Huskins: lo que sabemos del caso Gone Girl en California", mientras que en Reino Unido, el diario Metro informaba de las sospechas erróneas de las autoridades: "La Gone Girl de la vida real 'escenificó su propio secuestro', según la policía".
En cuanto a la justicia para Huskins y Quinn, el verdadero autor del secuestro, Matthew Muller, fue capturado gracias a los esfuerzos de la sargento Misty Carausu, declarado culpable y condenado a 40 años de cárcel en 2017.
En 2018, Huskins y Quinn recibieron una indemnización de US$2,5 millones de la ciudad de Vallejo, pero la ciudad no admitió "haber cometido ningún delito".
La policía acabó pidiendo disculpas, pero ninguno de los agentes implicados en el caso fue sancionado y, como se recoge en el documental, el detective principal del caso, Mat Mustard, fue galardonado como agente del año en 2015.
En "Gone Girl", el privilegio que se concedía a Amy era que su "secuestro" se aceptaba como real.
En el caso real de Huskins, como relata "American Nightmare", se le negó eso, a pesar de que su terrible experiencia era cierta.

80's Fantasy month :Time Bandits
Welcome to 80's Fantasy month where I shall look at classics of 80's fantasy ,starting with a personal childhood favorite
A young boy named Kevin(Craig Warnock ) is whisked away by the Time Bandits (David Rappaport ,Kenny Baker,Jack Purvis ,Malcolm Dixon ,Mike Edmonds and Tiny Ross ) ,servents of the Supreme Being (Ralph Richardson)who have decided to use a map to various holes in time to get stinking rich ,unfortunately they are being watched by Evil (David Warner )who wants to use the map to take over the universe
This is a film that feels diffrent watching as a kid then as adult .As a kid the creativity and imganitive visuals are what stood out to me ,but as an adult its the cynical humor . I love the tactile look of the world,you feel the grime and dirt ,and I adore the costume design from the Bandits whose costumes are made of bits and bobs from diffrent eras to Evil who has a biomechanical look fitting his obseeion with technology .CErtain visuals have stuck with me since I was a kid like the giant with a ship as a hat ,or the minotaur who I cant tell is just a guy wearing a dead bull head or is a legit minotaur .The cynical humor really stands out to me as an adult from the fact the great figures,mythical and historical tend to not be as great as youd expect them to be ,to God being less this wise beneovlent being and more a grumpy kind of distracted guy ,to the Bandits not really being heroes but just a bunch of guys trying to make a quick buck to the ending which didnt work for me as a kid but works now for me
The film is full of guest stars who do their small parts really well with IAn Holm as a height obsessed Napoleon, John Cleese as a faux friendly Robin Hood ,Michael Palin and Shelley Duvall as starcrossed lovers ,Peter Vaughn as an Ogre with a bad back,Katherine Helmond as his wife (Apparently it was her idea for her to be human while he is an ogre,and that makes it even funnier that they are just so lovey dovey ) ,legendary Shakesperian actor Ralph Richardson appears as the Supreme Being ,and even Sean Connery appears perfectly cast as Kevins pseudo father figure Aggamenon (If I have a complaint with the film I do wish they were able to do the finale as originally intended with him coming to aid Kevin in the final battle but cest la vie )
David Warner is scene stealing as Evil.Warner is perfectly cast being both sinister but really funny as he discusses how understanding digital watches ,Car telephones and VCR's will help rule the universe .He balances the comedy well while still being a classic fantasy bad guy .I love the final battle where he is just easilly taking down every attack thrown at him
Kevin is a solid lead,a kid interested in history who is the voice of reason among chaos.The Bandits themselves are great,all 6 actors are wonderful,though I think the standouts have to be David Rappaport as the egotistical Randall ,Jack Purvis as the tough Wally and Kenny Bakker as the friendkly Fidget
Overall this is a funny and wonderfully creative movie and if you havent seen it give it a watch
