  • Whereas THE CRUCIBLE plays around . . .

    . . . fast and loose with the facts about the Salem witches, THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE sticks to the actual Truth as revealed by Mr. And Mrs. Warren. When Ed and Lorraine stumble upon the scene of a triple murder while vacationing Down South, it's obvious to their enlightened eyes that the corpse half dug up in the cellar is the Real Killer. I mean, for Brian's sake, her brown hair is full of black peat! As Sherlock would say, when the hounds are calling, Baskervilles start falling. To avoid this dreaded fate, the B clan in question have holed up in a ramshackle fun earl parlor, and ditched the hounds for a cat. However, before the insidious couple are able to answer their distress call, the death house elevator is swamped by a red tide that makes the one in THE SHINING look like a drop in a bucket of blood. Maybe the less cerebral denizens of the 1900's did not subject Art to the Candle Test, giving him a pass for being gas lit by Norma Jean.

  • During the 1800's and 1900's . . .

    . . . roller skates were a major--if not primary--mode of transportation in America. BOOGIE NIGHTS, featuring the unforgettable character "Roller Girl," completes the triumphant trilogy of what world film buffs commonly dub as the "U. S. Foot Wheels Trio," which started with THE WARRIORS (1979), probably peaked at HEAVEN'S GATE (1980) before concluding with BOOGIE NIGHTS (1997). Invented by Ben Franklin during a visit to London in the mid-1700's, roller skates became a staple of the American scene as Lewis and Clark rolled West five decades later. By "Roller-Girl's" day, half of all U. S. meals were delivered by skate-footed carhops. Though the director of BOOGIE NIGHTS too often digresses from his keep-on-trucking thesis, he manages to squeeze through the aperture opened for him by THE WARRIORS and HEAVEN'S GATE.

  • There cannot be meaningful discussion of . . .

    . . . of this film without a thorough dissection of its shower scene set in a distaff bathing facility. Unlike PORKY'S infamous hose down, no male spies appear on-screen attempting to illicitly obtain insider scuttlebutt on specific female physiques. Nor are there men of ANY persuasion mixed in among the coeds washing in the buff, unlike the original STARSHIP TROOPERS most memorable scene. Instead, ROAD TRIP consumers hear a description of this group immersion from some dude second hand. HE makes no mention of the source for his normally private info. However, his mere mention of the bathing beauties spawns an on-screen debate about the verisimilitude of his intelligence offering.
