Disco Godfather (1979, Robert Wagoner)
RRM sports the most amazing one piece outfit for the majority of this film, for this alone we must be grateful
Bad stuff is happenin' in the neighbourhood and Dolemite feels his civic muscle needs flexing in his own particular style ... so to speak
Featuring a rather crazed end section, this tale of do goodery and disco does teeter on the tracks in a couple of spots but we got there in the end praise the lawd etc etc. A tad cloying, which is a phrase I never thought I'd use in a Rudy Ray Moore review

Breadcrumb Trail (2014, Lance Bangs)
The story of Slint told in a brisk but informative way. Not a lot of ego on show, though plenty to tell ahem. Spawning from the local hardore scene but eventually carving their own path, watching this now may be redundant considering how much of that sound I've heard regurgitated in various forms over the years.
Ignoring that, it's a great band documentary in that when you finally get to actually see footage you will say it was worth it. Ahem.
Runaway Nightmare (1982, Michael Cartel)
And where's
this been all my life??
Truly a one off. Is it one man's midlife crisis with incidental music? I sat properly agog with this mother. Two ... entymologists are taking a break and they spies some nefariousness, so pokes their proboscis in and regrets this action almost immediately. What transpires next is akin to a dream after watching too many episodes of The Outer Limits and digesting the sort of mushrooms that Hugh wouldn't recommend
Was a tad sludge like at this point, so will revisit shortly ... juuuust to make sure ahem.
Special Silencers (1979, Arizal)
Ahem. Last but least in
no way shape, form, substance ETC, this is my trifecta isn't it??
.... aaaaaaaaand he disnae let us down either. The print (cropped 4:3), well that's another matter, 4K this
NOW 
Barry Prima turns up this time to kick folk as Peter obviously finally got that appointment at the hairdressers he so badly needed
Yet again the dialogue, the stunts, the generous claret and one particular effect just reminded me that there is
something unique about the films from this year imho.
