Beach House (1982)
An Enjoyable Time Capsule of Northeastern Beach Party Scene
As I was just 7 years old when this movie came out, it's hard for me to know how much of this movie (and others of its kind) is a genuine reflection of 1980s youth culture, much less the partying and music scene. The goofy "we are young, we are free" sex comedies of the '80s were quite a trend in filmmaking, and I'm certain much of it was more of an exaggeration of how things "actually" were. When it comes down to it, it's probably more a projection of the director's own sense of humor combined with cinema tropes, broad stereotyping, and the desire to push the envelope. So when I call this movie a time capsule, perhaps it's more for the incidental elements -- music, fashion, technology, and the regional cultural distinctives of Northeastern United States. With that said, this is pretty mild on the sex and nudity kind of thing.
It is a genuine time capsule in terms of the casual misogyny on display. So if it offends you, just remember this is how it actually was in the '80s. There's one guy in this movie that's a real creep with rapey vibes all over him. He was almost enough to ruin the movie for me, but he gets his comeuppance and no one actually gets raped or murdered, so that's at least something to commend the film (as it wouldn't have served to advance the plot in any way).
Remote Viewing (2018)
Someone Needs to Add "Comedy" to the Tags
This movie tried to play like a documentary film, but it constantly took you out of that medium by making it abundantly clear that everyone was acting -- and I mean over the top community theater style acting. Exaggerated characters, unbelievable responses, and that ridiculous adventure soundtrack, it just ruined the whole concept. Maybe it could have worked with one or two "aw shucks" funny guys, like the main old dude, but everyone else was just trying too hard. I couldn't get into it. It was so cringe and I wasn't in the mood, so I shut it off after 30 minutes. Surprised I got that far.
