...flip side of Repo Man's bizarreness emerges in the next few scenes, wherein we are introduced to the film's chief protagonist, a young suburban punk called Otto. Otto is rootless, aimless, unhinged--of this we are made painfully aware. We meet him first in a supermarket, where he is getting fired from his job, but the scene quickly shifts to outside an L.A. home where a gang of punks are into some serious slam-dancing action. The scene and music (solid hardcore) immediately conjure up the rage of Decline, the late great documentary about the L.A. punk scene...

There is something slightly extraterrestrial about this car, and it interests the government radiation squad, beaded by metal-handed Agent Rogersz.

Though many bands that would play there go to the Cape in the summer, The Channel still offers some big name bands close-up.

And so what the actor calls his "Kyle-Paul meld" began in earnest. He read Dune five or six times before getting the part and has read it five or six times since. With the $40 million space...
...last week, and in the first two days managed to push up the beach and top the opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark. He is followed by the crew of the starship Enterprise (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock) and by a hardy, ragtag company of mercenaries: punk rockers (Streets of Fire), Jewish gangsters (Once Upon a Time in America), breakdancing dervishes (Beat Street), comic exorcists (Ghostbusters), bumbling spies (Top Secret!) and sci-fi sorcerers (The Last Star fighter). The down-home marching band is led by Dolly Parton and Sylvester Stallone (Rhinestone), and at the rear...
