'Motorpsycho' and 'Up!' represent two very different tendencies within Russ Meyer’s filmography.

Six-breasted Satanist biker chick with punk rock flair. Cheesy synth score. Gratuitous reincarnation. Trash-talking streetwalkers. And yet, despite some inadvertent hilarity, this thing manages to be mostly humdrum.

Arthur Penn’s NIGHT MOVES, now available on Criterion 4K UHD Blu-ray, is one of the great revisionist noirs, taking its place alongside Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye and Roman Polanski’s Chinatown. https://t.co/Fl1RgtwmdL

Scorsese brilliantly melds the unabashed artifice of 1940s musicals with the raw emotional intensity of the performances.

Steve De Jarnatt keeps the camera moving and knows well how to stage maximum havoc on a budget. Bonus points for Brian Thompson as a gym rat turned helicopter pilot. The ending is both utterly bleak and strangely poetic.

A film of modest surface pleasures: Wings is a vampire hunter... but he's also a serial killer. George Chakiris sports the fangs -- and sleeps in a fold-out duffel bag. Agent Orange provide the tunes -- live on stage. And there's lots of priceless footage of LA clubs and patrons.
