Films I’ve Loved This Year

I have already written reviews on some of them (not seen in this post), that you can already read here. So make sure to also do that.

I’m completely laid out in bed extremely sick, I thought between the delusional fevers, bomb exploding headaches, and literally feeling like I’m dying, I’d share the other films I’ve absolutely enjoyed watching this year.

I started up a separate account via Instagram to just post film, but having multiples is beginning to be too much, so from now on any other film content aside from the blog here will be on @ starrymayx.

So to start off the list here we go…

These 90s “Noir” films started my whole new movie Escapades, and I’m so glad they did -

Bad Influence, Guilty As Sin, Pacific Heights, Whispers in The Dark, Dream Lover, Untamed Heart, White Palace

Here are the others…

Thrashin - 1986

Starring: Josh Brolin, Pamela Gidley

Brooke McCarter (RIP homie), Sherilyn Fenn, Robert Rusler, & Josh Richman

Anthony Kiedis + RHCP

Tony Hawk, Kevin Staab, Mike McGill, Jimmy Star

What I liked: There was so much awesomeness in this film and a feel good story of triumph. Basically it’s about two skateboarding gangs, having beef, mix in lots of skating, graffiti, punk rock aesthetics, and a love story, and you have yourself a pretty badass film. Plus they overcome their rivalry in the LA Massacre challenge, and there’s even several rat tails. 🤣 Definitely worth a watch!

I really wish I could skateboard. I would have been so rad. To all my skater friends and Bo’s over the years, mad respect. 🤘🏻

The House on Sorority Row - 1983

Director: Mark Rosman

I swear Scream Queens was influenced by this film.

I really liked it. Loved the lighting, still had a seventies type feel, storyline was really good. Definitely a film to check out if you like really good horror, without all the super special effects.

*For any strobe light sensitive people* like myself out there, there is a scene where it’s wild,

Pump Up The Volume ✊🏻 1990

Director Allan Moyle

This movie is 🔥 Definitely a pioneer for all things talk radio but from a non-narrative perspective. Films like this and indie radio programs paved the way for our now podcasts. I loved the way it was written, the development of the characters personal selves, and breaking the rules.

I love me some Christian Slater 💓

The soundtrack is also amazing!

From Richard Hell, Leonard Cohen, Beastie Boys, Ice T, & more! I’ll link the soundtrack in my stories.

*trigger warning: there is a scene that deals with suicide and those scenes always get me. So I wanted to mention that.

Out of Bounds - 1986

Director- Richard Tuggle

Cinematography - Bruce Surtees

Starring: Anthony Michael Hall

Siouxsie and the Banshees 🤘🏻💓

& Meatloaf (in like 3 scenes)

What I liked: The cinematography of downtown LA & Venice Beach California, (actually the whole film is beautifully done). The 80’s colors, Dizz’s home, her style. The fact that Anthony Michael Hall was a badass hero, taking down a heroin drug man with his knife throwing skills. Really good film.

2 Days in The Valley - 1996

Written and Directed by: John Herzfeld.

Starring: James Spader, Eric Stolz & Charlize Theron

Synopsis: 48 hours of intersecting lives and crimes in The Valley of Los Angeles.

Why I liked it: Artsy Cinematography, James Spader obviously, and the correlation of numerous parties all being connected, going through individual stuff but being thrown into the mix of chaos. Plus sunglasses just seem to add viable cred to it. Why are sunglasses so cool yet mysterious?

Shampoo - 1975

Director: Hal Ashby

Starting Julie Christie, Goldie Hawn, & Warren Beatty

I throughly enjoyed this film mainly due to the Jim Morrison/Sharon Tate style vibes it gave off throughout, and all the stylish decor/fashion. The Morrison looking guy played by (Warren Beatty) is basically a lover to many of his women hair clients (he does hair).

I really appreciate the 70’s swank and aesthetic appeal in this film. I’m also obsessed with Julie Christie’s glam Tate starlet look and I wish I could pull off bangs! Goldie Hawn is also in here and a younger Carrie Fisher.

From the 70s eye shadow, purple outfit I want, the main girls style, glamorous hair, river grotto, la house party with body paint and strobe lights (which that part I had to turn away - sensitive), it still rocked.

Based in the LA canyon/hills it’s definitely worth a watch to see the web of desire and aesthetic unfold. Keep your eye out for the creepy art in one of the scenes that just didn’t quite belong. 😳

Additionally there was some dialogue between two parties in the kitchen about questioning the lead male’s (hairstylist) orientation, and the f word was used a couple times. Didn’t like that part.

Really glad we’ve evolved on how we should identify people and what’s right to say and not to. A person can be gay or even not, but using derogatory terminology to hurt them is very low par. If you still do that. Stop.

Chopping Mall - 1986

Director: Jim Wynorski

Mall Location: Sherman Oaks Galleria

I loved this film. For reals.

Nothing better than a mall unleashing new technology security robots, only to go horribly wrong. Which I already knew where it was going as soon as it started 😂

Anyways a group of mall employee friends and two others throw a party in a bedding home store and get freaky - typical 80s horror, which I love. Then basically the robots go crazy and savage, hunting down all of them in a terminator/stranger things vibe kind of way. The aesthetic, 80s style, and scenery are very appealing, all the way down to even the playboy underwear from Miss Virgina Slims herself. Camel ciggs just won’t cut it. 😂

Lots of greats here, and I hope you check them out if you haven’t seen them.

Happy Filming 😘

Axl about toxic marriage and filming the grave scene in 'Don't cry' music video

Axl: The reason it says 1990 [on the tomb stone] is because 1990 was, you know, a very suicidal year. Some things were really good, and then with the marriage not working and stuff like that, it just made me realize all kinds of things haven’t ever really worked, and I got to get through it and figure out why so many things continually go wrong.  

...

Axl: It’s pretty trippy.

Stephanie Seymour: It freaks me out. I looked at it and I went, “Uh, I don’t like that.”

Axl: (laughs)

Josh Richman: Why it said 1990?

Axl: I wanna break it with a big sledge.

[su_quote cite=”Ben Lee of Radnor and Lee”]Coming from the punk rock and underground music, eliminating that division between audience and performer, the 4th wall so to speak, has always been an interest of mine. Social media fit right into that. I don’t want to be perceived as some unreachable rock star in isolation. If anything, I want to inspire people to create by being relatable and real.[/su_quote]

About the song: Honestly the track is beautifully inspiring and honest, it carries a certain child like charm that is refreshing to find not only in music but in life. It understands the constant tribulations of life and invites us to not just accept them to know that even in the bad there’s always a fine tune that surrounds our world and invites to dance. The unavoidable is just that, there are things like that and we need to accept that, but must we bow down and cry and let our lives end or can we smile at the good and the bad and take them head on? I decide to smile and take things head, the choice is yours and Radnor and Lee are just reminding you of it with a beautiful track that if you let it in can touch your heart. Enjoy and now read the interview a bit and get to know these fine pair of human beings.

Interview

What inspired the song? 

Josh:Ben was over one day and we were talking, trying to land on something fun to write and I had come across this poem by the Sufi poet Hafiz. It’s a super short poem: “A thousand times I have ascertained and found it to be true; The affairs of this world are really nothing into nothing. Still, though, we should dance.” 

We just loved this idea, that it might be all meaningless, but you know what? We should still dance. And then it became a song about two people with a lot of wounds and baggage transcending their fears, deciding to take a chance with each other in spite of all that.

Who is the singer that accompanies Josh’s voice in “Still though we dance”? 

Ben:That’s Sam Shelton. She’s an old friend of mine. I produced her album Reservoir a few years back. And interestingly, her sister Marley plays Josh’s wife on his new tv show Rise. She’s awesome.

How is the music making process between the two of you? 

Ben Lee: I can only describe it as ORGANIC. Josh and I are both pretty fearless when it comes to trying new things and jumping into creative projects, but you never know if a collaboration is going to have an authentic and expansive feeling to it. Writing with Josh feels very natural. I remember very early on in our friendship Josh saying it felt like we had known each other since childhood, and even though we actually met as adults, the atmosphere between us does feel very familial and easy. 

Josh Radnor:  I had heard Ben’s music before and he is really great, to be honest, but Josh I have to admit it: you have a voice man – was music always a passion of yours?  I grew up in a pretty musical household. John Denver, Bob Dylan, Peter Paul & Mary, Jim Croce, Simon and Garfunkel, Judy Collins were all big in my house growing up. My parents also took us to musicals and loved classical music. I started acting in high school musicals and studied voice for three years at NYU in the grad acting program. Plus I’ve always been a highly obsessive music fan. Melody is really important to me. Same for Ben. So we always try to find a beautiful, hooky melody in whatever song we write. 

So far, most memorable experience as Radnor and Lee? 

Josh: Well, it’s all been kind of trip, to be honest. I’ll never forget a moment from our first show at Hotel Cafe when Ben looked over at me in the middle of our set and said, “Can you believe we’re doing this?” 

That’s kind of been it for us. We’re super excited to be making music together and that people are responding, but also kind of equal parts shocked and thrilled that it’s even happening in the first place. I think the best moments are when Ben is over and we’re sitting on my couch and we’ve got our hooks in something, when the song is being born and you can feel it’s going to be a good one. 

I noticed that you guys have your social media game down, what makes you be so fan-friendly and giving? 

Ben: Coming from the punk rock and underground music, eliminating that division between audience and performer, the 4th wall so to speak, has always been an interest of mine. Social media fit right into that. I don’t want to be perceived as some unreachable rock star in isolation. If anything, I want to inspire people to create by being relatable and real.

Where do you guys go to get the best inspiration or motivation for your music? 

Josh: Poems have inspired a few of our songs. I wrote the lyrics to “Falling Upward” based on a Richard Rohr book of the same title. We draw from a lot of spiritual traditions, a line here or there from various texts that resonates with us. Ben?

Ben: Life! I am inspired by living and facing what happens each day with an open mind and heart.

Having lived in New York, name one place that you just love in the city? Why? 

Ben: The Strand Bookstore. Because it is a monument to the love of books and reading. I believe in the power of a book. That place keeps a certain dream alive.

A piece of advice that you would give young people reading the interview and listening to your music? 

Ben:Whatever you are doing, whatever you want to achieve, don’t stop. Truly, stopping is the main reason people fail. At the same time, be pragmatic and don’t live in a fantasy – an artist is of value if they are paying attention to themselves and the world they live in, not totally self-absorbed.

Josh: I got tired of being instrument-less while I was on stage with Ben so I’ve taken up the guitar pretty seriously. I’ve only really been playing since January but I play all the time and have written a lot of songs and am completely obsessed with it. If nothing else, I hope that can serve to remind people you can pick up an instrument at any age. I think as you get older you tend to lean into things you know you’re good at. It’s no fun to be bad at something as an adult. But if you can brave through those awkward early stages there’s a ton of joy on the other side. It’s fun to commit and really throw your whole self into something. Ben really inspires me as an artist and as a musician and I’m looking forward to Radnor & Lee becoming a two-guitar band. 

A personal mantra or philosophy that drives the both of you as artists and people? 

Ben & Josh: There is more possible than you can imagine. The possibilities are only limited by our capacity to think bigger.

A band/artist you would recommend anyone to listen besides yourselves? One song they have to hear from them?

Josh: I’ve been listening to a lot of early Jackson Browne. He’s such a good songwriter. “From Silver Lake” and “For a Dancer” are two of my favorites.

Ben: Jonathan Richman. My favorite songwriter probably. “Back In Your Life” is a good place to start.

I hope you enjoyed the interview and remember for more of this talented pair check the links below.

Behind the scenes: Axl and Stephanie

Josh Richman (to Stephanie): What’s it like working with your boyfriend?

Stephanie: It certainly makes things a lot nicer. I mean, I’m a lot happier when he’s around. I think he’s a lot happier when I’m around.

Josh Richman: Did you ever have to do a scene like that that has that much, you know, physical stuff involved?

Stephanie: No, I’ve never had to do a scene before. But it was weird, because we’ve never fought.

Josh Richman: You and Axl.

Stephanie: Never. I mean especially not physically, but never even verbally or – we’ve never had a disagreement.

Josh Richman: Wow. Seriously, I mean, I watch you guys and you both look so vicious in that fight. It’s pretty strange, you know?

Stephanie: It’s fun.

Josh Richman: To see it, cuz I know you don’t fight.

Stephanie: I like to see that side of him.

Josh Richman (to Axl): Axl, we were just talking about how you guys are doing a fight scene, yet you and Steph don’t fight. That’s correct?

Axl: Oh, yeah. It’s really wild. Last night was very strange, cuz it was like, I’m gonna be next to this person with this attitude to me. I don’t care who she is (laughs).

Josh Richman: Oh, that’s right. She’s never dealt with you with any of that attitude like she did in the bar scene.

Axl: I thought it was gnarly (laughs).
