OK, everyone. I'm a little playlist-manic and impulsively make ones for characters/actors/films that I love. Here are my Spader-oriented ones. I hope you enjoy it if you are interested in any of those.

JAMES SPADER as Eddie Dutra in THE NEW KIDS (1985)

[boxofbadaddiction]

This man has zero redeemable qualities. Not a single positive attribute to his personality and yet...I watch the movie and if someone were to ask me which character I'd pick as my fav/loml- it'd be him.

The New Kids (1985) Review.

‘The New Kids’ was released in 1985 and was directed by Sean S. Cunningham.

The cast includes: Lori Loughlin - Abby McWilliams. Shannon Presby - Loren McWilliams. Tom Atkins - Mac McWilliams. Eddie Jones -  Charlie McWilliams. Jean De Baer as Mary Beth McWilliams. Lucy Martin - Fay McWilliams. Eric Stoltz - Mark. James Spader - Eddie Dutra. John Philbin - Gideon.

Plot: Abby and Loren’s parents are both killed in a car crash, at the funeral their Uncle Charlie comes up to them and asks them to stay with him and his wife Fay. When the siblings arrive in Glenby, Florida their uncle shows them around their new home which is a gas station and a fun fair that’s still in renovation. Their first day at school goes well but then Abby runs into Eddie who the head of a gang of thugs, this meeting starts an obsession with Abby which leads to Eddie trying to ask her to a dance. She declines because she’s interested in Mark, Eddie does not take this rejection well. After a few run ins Eddie decides to mess with Loren, getting into a fight of which Loren wins due to training with his dad.  Things escalate from there with the actions of Eddie increasing in violence, it climaxes to a massive show down in the fair grown when Eddie Kidnaps Abby. 

I love finding old random 80′s teen movies that I've not watched before, I don’t know how to describe it but 80′s films just make me feel some type of way. They just have a aura about them that films these days just don’t have, I don’t know if I feel this way because I’ve grown up loving the 80′s and I think it’s just disgraceful that I wasn’t a teen in this wonderful time but I’d pick a 80′s movie over a modern movie any day. 

James Spader is one of my favourite 80′s actors so when I was looking through his IMDB and found this movie I was really excited to watch it.  All in all I loved it, obviously it had it’s downsides as all movies have but it was something new and fresh. It is classed as a horror/thriller and one review I watched compared it as a Friday 13th feel but honestly I didn’t feel that. I wouldn’t really call it a horror, more of a low key thriller up until the last scenes where it gets a bit chaotic.

The plot was very well thought out but I think it could have been written and played out a little better. The transition from just bullying and taunting to suddenly turned to murder made your head spin a little.  Also side note, I noticed that Jame’s hair was bleached a little lighter and also his eyebrows which made him look a bit weird maybe this was a deliberate move? I don’t know. But it definitely made me feel different about him, he was an absolute jerk in this film and not a likeable one. 

I really like the relationship between the brother and sister, I liked how they were there for each other no matter what and how they supported one another.  I think Shannon Presby did an amazing job at playing Loren McWilliams I was really rooting for him to be happy through out all of the film, and I missed his presence when he wasn’t on screen. Putting aside the recent drama around Lori Loughlin, I really like her 80′s films. I really like her in Secret Admirer and I think she also did a excellent job in this movie too. She wasn’t whinny or annoying she was brave and stood up for herself but knew when to ask for help from her brother. 

I also really liked Eric Stoltz, who I adored in ‘Some kind of wonderful’ He was so cute as Mark and he just wanted the best for Abby. Although I do wish we would have seen a lot more of him, especially in the last scene when the big fight goes down. Also something that I noticed was that Mark was in a relationship with Abby but Eddie never seem to go after Mark, it was only Abby and Loren that he targeted. You would have thought that because Abby was interested in Mark this would have made Eddie mad seen as he was rejected because of this (and because he was an absolute creep!) but he left him alone. 

All in all it wasn’t the best movie but wasn’t the worst and I really enjoyed watching it, it’ll probably be a ‘guilty pleasure, I haven’t watched that movie in a while’ re watch. So I’ll give it a 7/10.

Blu-ray Review: The New Kids

In a time when virtually every '80s movie is considered a cult classic, it's surprising that The New Kids doesn't have a larger and more vocal fan base, especially considering the pedigree of talent involved both behind and in front of the camera. Most notably, the 1985 horror-tinged thriller is directed and produced by Sean S. Cunningham (Friday the 13th), and the antagonist is portrayed by a young James Spader (The Blacklist).

Always one to make an impact even in a small role, genre favorite Tom Atkins (Halloween III: Season of the Witch, Creepshow) opens the film as Colonel MacWilliams, who tells his son, Loren (Shannon Presby), that he's been "whacking off too much" and comments on the "sexy little body" of his daughter, Abby (Lori Loughlin, Full House). MacWilliams goes on to train his teen children around the army base on which they live.

Atkins' screen time is unfortunately brief, as he meets his untimely demise after the opening sequence via an off-screen car crash. Following the tragic loss of their parents, Loren and Abby are adopted by their Uncle Charlie (Eddie Jones, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) and Aunt Fay (Lucy Martin, The Edge of Night). They move down to Florida to stay with them at Santa's Fun Land, a derelict theme park that Charlie recently purchased with the dream of fixing up and reopening.

Despite quickly hitting it off with the opposite sex - Abby falls for her nerdy but sweet algebra tutor, Mark (Eric Stoltz, Mask), while Loren begins a fling with the local sheriff's daughter, Karen (Paige Price) - the new kids in school are quickly targeted by gang of drug-fueled bumpkin bullies led by the ruthless Eddie Dutra (Spader). Their feuding escalates from verbal abuse to property damage to physical altercations before coming to a head when they drunkenly attempt to rape Abby. While the film’s midsection is a bit slow, the tense final showdown is a battle of brains versus brawn that plays out like Home Alone at an amusement park - but with an actual body count.

The New Kids' biggest flaw is its tone, which is all over the place. Although a few sequences see Cunningham flexing the suspense muscles he built with Friday the 13th, the film only flirts with the horror genre. Written by Stephen Gyllenhaal (Homegrown), who shares a story credit with Brian Taggert (Poltergeist III), the picture is mostly a revenge thriller; but some sequences feel like a lighthearted, '80s romp, while others lean toward melodrama, and it occasionally veers into exploitation territory. Cinematographer Steven Poster (Donnie Darko, Rocky V) and composer Lalo Schifrin’s (Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon) expertise in their respective fields help to pull it all together.

While neither the concept nor the execution are particularly noteworthy, the cast makes this one memorable. Spader, in an early villainous role, lights up the screen in the manner he has continued to do in the three decades since. Loughlin - now the center of controversy amid the college admission scandal - is charismatic even when she's relegated to being the damsel in distress, and she has good chemistry with both Stoltz and Presby. The latter gave up on acting shortly after the film's release. Atkins is a treat, per usual, chewing the scenery in his limited screen time.

The New Kids is available on Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment. It would have been nice to see any special features, as Cunningham always seems open to discuss his work, but at least it's finally out there to be discovered in crisp high definition. While the disc is bare, it's packaged in a cool slipcover featuring the original VHS artwork. As was often the case in the '80s, the poster includes striking imagery that never appears in the actual movie. In this case, it's people wearing creepy masks; a fitting ploy for the creator of Friday the 13th.

The New Kids is available now on Blu-ray via Mill Creek Entertainment.
