Desperate Teenage Lovedolls (1984) ***1/2
"Here's my card. Johnny Tremaine's the name. Making rock stars is this man's game. You know, I think I see real talent. I almost even see Led Zep. You know, I think I could do for you girls what God did for mankind."
Point Blank (1967) ****1/2
The 1960s really was one the best decades of film. Lee Marvin as Walker is easily one of the most badass characters in any film. The dreamy psychedelic sequences, the jazzy Schifrin -like score by Johnny Mandel , the great supporting roles ( Keenan Wynn , Carroll O'Connor , Michael Strong , John Vernon ), the style, the time shifts/jump cuts, the economy of John Boorman 's filmmaking (only his sophomore film!)—there is so much to savor here. Point Blank (1967) was a huge influence on Steven Soderbergh 's The Limey (1999) [ review ] (another favorite film) and was remade, as a lesser but still great film called Payback (1999), both based on Donald E. Westlake 's (writing as Richard Stark) novel The Hunter (1962). John Boorman Feature Films Ranked
