Cloak and Dagger - Henry Thomas' OTHER 80s Classic
If you were a kid growing up in the '80s, one thing was true. Video games were the spawn of Satan. Okay, we know that isn't true. But our parents? Adults were terrified of your Atari and your Nintendo, and filmmakers made all sorts of movies that painted games in a negative light. In Wargames a nuclear war was damn near started! While there were plenty of films that understood the imagination and the creative spirit that video games could foster, such as Tron and The Last Starfighter for examples, there's also a film such as Cloak & Dagger, which goes to some really dark territory to teach a lesson to kids that, honestly, everyone could stand to learn.
Cloak and Dagger starred Henry Thomas. Y'know, the E.T. kid, who grew up to become the Suicide Kings dude and the Midnight Mass guy. He plays 11-year-old Davey, a lonely kid who retreats from his troubled life into an espionage video game called Cloak & Dagger. His father Hal is a military man who is gone for long stretches, and his mom is dead. So Davey is all alone most of the time. A true latchkey kid, his only real friend is his imaginary pal Jack Flack, an American spy who, like Davey's father, is played by the great comedian Dabney Coleman.
The decision to have Coleman pull double-duty on Cloak & Dagger was genius, for reasons that become clear later. The unkillable, unflappable Jack Flack manifests in the real world, which is convenient timing. Helping out a local video game dude, and look at this dude and what a stereotypical dork he resembles, Davey and his nosey neighbor friend Kim witness and FBI agent's murder. But before the guy dies, he hands them a Cloak & Dagger game with a secret microchip in it that others are willing to kill for. And kill they do, because people die all over the place in this grim grim adventure for kids. Starting with that poor video game dude, who was never given the chance to evolve past his stereotypical looks.

Once a meathead, always a meathead? Well, if you ask Fox News, Rob Reiner is more of a meathead than ever, spewing out his political diatribes and pushing an ultra-liberal agenda devouring anything and everything that is not left of center. And if you ask baby boomers, Reiner will always be Meathead with a capital M, his beloved character from ALL IN THE FAMILY. And if you ask a film connoisseu...
Fletch Lives: An Underrated 80s Comedy Classic?
Переглядів 9 тис.7 годин тому
By now, everyone agrees that 1985's Fletch, starring Chevy Chase, is a classic comedy. Indeed, the mixture of thriller and comedy made the movie iconic in its own way, with it an adaptation of the classic series by Gregory Mcdonald. It was such a big hit that in 1989 it got a sequel, Fletch Lives. However, while the first film is considered a classic many maintain that the sequel is terrible, m...
What Happened to Mr. & Mrs. Smith?
Переглядів 12 тис.9 годин тому
Pop quiz hot shot: What’s the best action movie of the past 20 or 30 years that never received a cinematic sequel? Nope, it’s not Speed. Is it Wanted? Nobody? The Accountant? How about Knight and Day or American Made? While the latter comes from director Doug Liman, we’d argue that the correct answer is Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Liman’s eminently watchable assassin thriller that continues to shine than...

Переглядів 27 тис.12 годин тому
It was a movie with a questionable title. A lot of critics were rough on it. Gene Siskel even called it one of the worst movies of the year. It came and went in theatres with few movie-goers paying any attention. But in the years since its release, it has become a beloved cult classic. With a legion of fans that love quoting its memorable lines. Some of its youngest viewers were drawn in by wha...

The summer is starting off with a bang next week with the release of The Fall Guy, a big-budget action flick starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt.

Comedy on the big screen seems dead nowadays. When was the last time you saw a hiarious movie in theaters? Alas, it wasn't always like this.

Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver Movie Review
Переглядів 17 тис.21 годину тому
I took a bit of heat for my positive review of Rebel Moon Part One a few months ago, but I make no apologies for the fact that I found it an immersive, entertaining epic. I liked it a lot more than the last few Star Wars movies (particularly The Rise of Skywalker). So, I was eager to see the story reach its conclusion with Rebel Moon Part Two: The Scargiver. While an entertaining, action-packed...

When it comes to the character of Spider-Man, we’ve seen it all from Raimi’s iconic trilogy, the MCU’s more tech-heavy and modern trilogy, some stunning animated Miles Morales films, and even a catalogue of disappointing spin-offs which follow villains like Venom, Morbius, and Kraven- and even the upcoming Madame Web which promises to deliver yet another mediocre spin-off film in Sony’s ongoing...

Pronouns is what happened he is someone's Great Auntie now ...and that is ok!
Great movie!
He’s always had mental problems and it just gets worse duhh
I kept catching idiocracy on TV half way through the movie and thought this is crazy and turned it off. When I watched it from the start I thought wow this is genius
OUTSTANDING WORK my friend and Thank You!!!!
Everyone took it well...except Sean Penn. Yeah that seems about right.
Love this movie
I enjoyed this movie, and I love the concept of cowboys fighting aliens. Can't believe it didnt work very well, it has the workings of a very popcorn eating-worthy movie.
And they made it great inspite of upper management.
The greatest and best sequel of all time, the greatest and best action movie of all time, and one of the greatest movies period, a timeless masterpiece.
I'm loving it.
Great movie and it's really well written that adults can enjoy it too, it must have had a very limited theatrical release because I never saw it until VHS and then I recorded it off The Movie Channel along with another underrated classic Dreamscape.
The third one was to by called the crimson eagle I wished they had made it would be good.? I loved both the movies and I've got and watched the war of the roses awesome he good in falling down ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

I love "Cloak & Dagger".
This classic needs a Blu Ray release
Mama Celeste face up!
This was very good
Vinegar Syndrome has an awesome 4K release of Cloak & Dagger, still available on their website
Not only is Jackie Brown my favorite QT movie of all time, it's in my top 10 FILMS of all... so far. (It'll take a LOT to knock it off my tops list.) QT is also on my favorite directors list.
as this is a re-release of two previous uploads, I'm fairly sure Alec Baldwin's reaction may be different now.
This narration is hilarious. Well done 😂 *Who killed Mr. White?!?
Dabney Coleman was everywhere in the '80s. I first noticed him in 9to5
That “oh” from mafia leader make people want to know who is John wick….genius director
Some were born to wield a chainsaw, others had chainsaws thrust upon them. No other person will fit that sacred weapon or sling a double barrel like him. Cheers, Bruce. You are my No. 1 actor.
She Hulk didn't get the message
I am hoping for a day where our entertainment doesn’t feel the need to portray a specific political agenda and just be, well…entertaining! I actually mostly agree with his views and I don’t want to see the political movies, we get enough of that every day. I know the concept is not new (watch anything with John Wayne) but it seems to be so pervasive right now.
