Tarzan x full movie#
Up the Creek also isn't very good, but, unlike Gorp, it at least resembles an actual movie rather than a facsimile of a latrine. Tim Matheson and Sandy Helberg in Up the Creek (Photo: Kino)

Witless and puerile on every conceivable level, this offered early roles to Dennis Quaid (terrible), Fran Drescher (passable) and Rosanna Arquette (negligible). The primary characters are a group of insufferable camp counselors who spend their time leering at girls, masturbating incessantly, and annoying the camp's unscrupulous owner (David Huddleston). Gorp is an abbreviation for "granola, oats, raisins, peanuts," although that's never actually explained in the movie (the poster does allow that it's "a bunch of fruits, nuts and flakes"). Gorp emerges as one of the worst of all pretenders, although, to be fair, its inspiration was probably the 1979 Bill Murray comedy Meatballs as much as the John Belushi campus classic. Whereas Star Wars led to a rash of science fiction epics and Halloween gave rise to a slew of slasher flick imitators, the 1978 hit inspired an onslaught of teen sex comedies, none coming anywhere close to matching the hilarity or characterizations of their raunchy predecessor. It's not a stretch to state that National Lampoon's Animal House ranks as one of the most influential films of the past half-century. He provides a nice counterpart to Depp's steely menace, and with both actors further supported by a stellar supporting roster (Benedict Cumberbatch, Corey Stoll, Peter Sarsgaard, Julianne Nicholson and more), Black Mass ably demonstrates that there's still some life left in a genre that, just when we think we're out, pulls us back in.īlu-ray extras consist of a making-of featurette a piece on Depp's transformation into Bulger and a look at the real-life manhunt for Bulger. Edgerton plays the part with the right mix of braggadocio and unctuousness, strutting with a skewered sense of self-purpose yet unable to completely conceal the sweat and grime triggered by his underhanded moves. In many ways, Connolly is just as immoral as Bulger, ratting out informants to stay in the gangster's good graces and even putting their relationship above those he enjoys with family and friends. Indeed, it's the presence of Edgerton's character which allows Black Mass to play as more than just an also-ran in the "mob movie" sweepstakes. Or, to be specific, with the help of one particular agent: John Connolly (Joel Edgerton), who grew up with Bulger in South Boston and has allowed his childhood admiration to seep into his honorable career and poison it.

Through this feature film, we're privy to the activities that lead to his wanted status, including murder and racketeering, and we watch as he builds an empire with the help of the FBI. Practically unrecognizable with that bald pate and those blue-sky contact lenses, Johnny Depp projects ferocious intensity as real-life crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger, whose Trivial Pursuit claim to fame is that he spent over a decade as the #2 man on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list, right under some fellow named Osama bin Laden.
