Movie Review # 49 - The Andromeda Strain - Boxcar Bertha - In this house of Brede - Death on the Nile - Birth of the Beatles

A decade under the influence

Movie reviews #49 coming in hot today.Just 5 70’s movies to review, sooooo let’s review the review.1. (The Andromeda Strain 1971) Epic movie Director Robert Wise is at the helm here, with a movie Based on a Michael Crichton novel way before it was a 90’s standard thing to do. That statement is dead wrong though, there are 9 MC novels or short stories adapted into films in the 70’s, 3 in the 80’s, and 7 in the 90’s. I think it’s only because Jurassic Park had the hype of like 6 70’s movies, shit, I dunno. This movie is about a deadly element from space, SCIENCE, and a real cool facility that gives you paper clothes.2. (Boxcar Bertha 1972) Not to jump the shark but I think this one’s easy, we all agree that we love Bertha, but not so much this early Martin Scorsese film. Barbara Hershey rules, also Bill of Kill Bill, and the history teacher of Bill and Ted are here. 3. (In this house of Brede 1975) Don’t yuk this bizarre recovering catholic’s yum, but here we have Diana Ring as Nun, say no more!ok just a bit more she is a woman who is sick of all the shitty men and bullshit and goes to the convent to get away from it all and do rad shit in peace, apparently I should read the book too.4. (Death on the Nile 1978) I’m sorry but I do love me some Peter Ustinov, He is Agatha Christie’s Poirot here, along with flippin every one else.Mia Farrow, Bette Davis, Miss murder she done sat down and wrote, David Niven, Jack Warden, and Professor McGonagall, to name a few. This time they are on a boat not a train.5. (Birth of the Beatles 1979) Waited for the encore tv airing of this so I could record it with a video cassette that I had bought. This one hugely influenced me to want to play music. Wonderful to finally see this again with friends and review. This movie is from the director of Return of the Jedi. we out, thanks for listening.
