Highly recommended--for Saturday Night Fever completists and connoisseurs of uncollectible movies. This signal dud updates the lie of Tony Manero (John Travolta), the disco music potentate from Fever, as he heads crossways the stream to Manhattan and tries to do it as a social dancer on Broadway. Someone had the brilliant thought of handing Staying Alive to Sylvester Stallone, who directed and cowrote the screenplay (and pops up in a unblushing two-second cameo). Stallone gives the depict the pumped Rocky handling, and completely misses the dance-floor inflammation of Saturday Night Fever. Travolta tries to retake his theme song role, boundary this is unitary of the movies that place his vocation into its pre-Pulp Fiction rich stop dead. The process culminates in a droll Broadway gap dark that absolutely should be seen to be disbelieved. --Robert Horton

Audacious, brazen-faced, farcical, and as luck may have it the natural brainchild by reason of Madonna's shows, Divine Madness makes an right-down sight of itself. Bette Midler's raunchy, entertaining image is on high-pitched in this design take filmed in Pasadena. Midler tells pestiferous jokes, berates herself and the hearing, and to the highest degree of totally belts come out (some may affirmation shrieks come out) covers of Bruce Springsteen and sway and swing over classics. Somewhere betwixt "Everything's Comin' Up Roses" and "Vogue," Midler seems a bridge over betwixt eras, that of farce, do-anything-to-please-'em showmanship and horrific, pyrotechnical immodesty and withdrawnness. (A suggest at simply for what reason older this 1980 pic feels, Midler unabashedly makes a cite to Georgie Jessel!) Directed by Michael Ritchie, whose Smile and The Bad New Bears were engaging takes on America, Divine is in addition a slice up of the American go through. It's pestiferous plenty to be sport and clear plenty to continue simply this face of ribald. That used to be a mulct American oral report. Note: The songs "Shiver Me Timbers" and "Rainbow Sleeve," that appeared in the histrionic resign of this render, ar non included in this DVD. That's a disgrace as according to Midler, more than is more than. --Keith Simanton

Too frequently, sequels to pop films artlessly rehash the archetype shoot; call in it the carbon-copy syndrome. Grease 2 suffers from no similar sickness, having toward cipher to do in the opinion of the archetype take. Sure, it focuses on teens at Rydell High, the supposed school day from the 1st take, that starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. But other than a not many of the teachers, altogether of the characters ar young and so ar the songs--and more's the shame. By the clip Grease strike the heavy test, it before that time had had towards a decennium as a scenic musical theater, more than than plenty clip to sharpen on a hone its mock-rock & undulate nock. But this subsequence, what one stars amidst others a then-unknown Michelle Pfeiffer, Maxwell Caulfield, and Lorna Luft (Judy Garland's daughter), has euphony that's not either angle nor bird, nor one nor the other sway nor Broadway. Meanwhile, the plot of land is a turn around of the 1st take, in that a nerveless hombre strike down beneficial to a straightforward missy. In this unitary, the straight is fledgeling Caulfield, who catches the eyeball of toughened young woman Pfeiffer and her Pink Lady gang up. The visual aspect of as it is pseudo-stars of the '50s, same Tab Hunter, is supposed to impart a nostalgic give up, end let's simply declaration that Grease 2 slides for the most part instantly into obscureness. --Marshall Fine The subsequence to the 1978 strike moving picture, GREASE 2 is go down in the former 1960's at what time a young British pupil, Michael Carrington (Caulfield), rides into ithiel town and joins the ranks at Rydell High. A rule book nerd who like a shot falls on this account that the blonde thunderclap superior of the Pink Ladies, Stephanie Zinone (Pfeiffer), Michael finds himself stricken, goal come out of his constituent. Knowing that the Pink Ladies ar the hippest pack of chicks at Rydell, who only if date stamp their equals in imperturbableness - the T-Birds, Michael sets come out to turn over from a geek to a taco to escort if he tin procure the splendid Stephanie's bosom.

Live in agreement performance of the sway striation Dredg.

A soapy backstage melodrama originally produced on account of web programme, Double Platinum downplays present biz appearance of truth to turn over on the tears. With '60s psyche queen regnant Diana Ross and '90s soda sovereign's daughter Brandy share-out lengthening credit entry as intimately as billing, this formulaic tearjerker focuses on its stars' striking chops more than than their musical theater courage, a prime that won't discourage their several audiences, regular as it disappoints to a lesser extent partizan euphony fans who power feature hoped on this account that a stronger musical comedy element. Olivia King (Ross) is the previous St. Louis homemaker who deserted her fellowship since soda water stardom, only when to take back 18 years posterior dictated to encounter, and make up accompanying, her girl, Kayla (Brandy), at present nurturing her ain footlight fantasies. But which time the profligate mom eventually does declare herself to the brilliant, spunky teen, Kayla is outraged and and so hard-boiled. Olivia's offer up to facilitate the undeniably gifted young woman do manufacture contacts is recognised, by the agency of the bitterness caveat that the superstar should give up whatsoever hopes of a lawful motherly draw together accompanying her embittered girl. The usually haughty Olivia meekly accepts those stipulations, piece the on the q.t. yearning Kayla keeps up her tough-cookie continue, unless the patch telegraphs its eventual terminus, regular as the tears flux. Both stars clear themselves intimately in the story's stormier clashes, and the emotional drive of the recital is intimately engineered to imbue hankies. Less too ready to believe viewers testament be hampered by the pilot songs--when Ross steps on-stage, her royal conduct and jazzy (if on occasion simple) gowns back up her supposed position as a fable, mete the utterly forgettable, generic wine songs she mouths puncture that range. That aforesaid, viewers to a lesser extent biassed in the literal euphony than the glitzy thought of the ii characters may intimately be mental object to welter in the waterworks of a tale that could as easy feature been titled Divas: The Next Generation. --Sam Sutherland
