No matter how old he is, or how long of a layoff from music he has blues-harmonica master Jerry McCain always manages to put fresh energy and original songs into his music. This CD collects material from McCain's tenure with Ichiban which produced four fine albums. McCain rarely does covers, and there is not a single one on this collection. Many of the songs deal with issues typical with blues singer (women, feelin' bad etc.) but many also deal with subjects not common with blues singers (crack-houses, suing people, being spoiled etc.) which is a pleasant change. McCain's harmonica playing is showcased on all the tracks as well, especially on the six-and-a-half minute instrumental "Tumblin' in the Sea". "Blues Tribute" is a nice tribute to some of McCain's lost heroes and friends in the blues world. It's a shame Jerry McCain isn't the superstar he should be. His songwriting has always been fantastic and many of his 50's recordings should've been hits, while his harmonica playing ranks with the best in the world. But hey, the music world is an unpredictable and sometimes unfair thing. Hopefully this review may convince a few people to look into this one-of-a-kind blues legend.

customer 's review (A softer side of the King of horror...)   
(Different opinion than others here)
(Stands By Its Reputation)    
(Maybe Nostalgia Would Have Helped) 
(Maybe the best film about growing up ever made)     I expected something different from `Stand by Me'; that is, since it was written by Stephen King (the novella from which the film was adapted from was) I was expecting something thrilling or scary. What I got was something completely opposite yet equally engaging. Instead of a horror film or even a tense thriller, we are presented with a deeply moving story about friendship, relationships and boyhood. `Stand by Me' is a beautifully told story of adolescence; of four boys who find that central part of themselves over a weekend trek through the woods.
Gordie, Chris, Teddy and Vern are on the brink of their teenage years. Growing up in the 50's has not been too kind to them. Their families are rocky as is their relationships with them. Gordie, who narrates the story as an adult looking back at this chapter of his life, is conflicted at home. His older brother has recently died, and his father is so wrecked over it that he casts Gordie aside as if he were unwanted. Chris, Gordie's best friend, is treated horribly by the rest of the community because of his background (his father and brother are major trouble) and so he has become his own worst enemy because of it; downgrading himself and his own possibilities because of his conditioned mentality. Teddy has suffered bizarre abuse from his father, who is now institutionalized; and Vern, well, he's got problems of his own (weight is always an issue).
When a young boy their same age goes missing, and they get word that the body is down by the railroad tracks, the boys decide to trek out to find it and report the body. What starts out as a few friends satisfying a morbid interest turns into a coming of age story that winds up completing these four young men in ways they never imagined.
The movie is not perfect, but in parts it is grand. Some of the acting is off, but there are some amazing performances that totally make up for the few inconsistencies; and while one major part of the film didn't sit right with me (the narration annoyed me) I can see its purpose; even if I wasn't a fan.
The performances by the four young boys were all good, some great, some even superb. Corey Feldman is an annoying celebrity (now that is) but when you separate his personal Hollywood existence from this performance you can see that he did a very good job. He played the misunderstood kid, or in other words he played a normal kid, and he did it well. Jerry O'Connell also does a fine job here at being a normal (albeit overweight) kid. He's also an annoying celebrity now, but that's beside the point. Wil Wheaton was less than impressive for me, especially since this was `his' movie and I never really felt compelled to watch him, except for in some of the final more crucial scenes. He does a fine job in the end, but overall he was a little one-note. Kiefer Sutherland delivers a memorable and engaging supporting performance as Ace, the town bully; but this movie belongs to the late River Phoenix who really deserved an Oscar nomination for his dynamic portrayal of the tortured Chris Chambers. I was drawn to his every move, his every word, his every action and his character development was extraordinary.
In the end I have to recommend this movie. It could have been tightened in a few areas (I would have liked a little tension, and the removal of the narration would have been ideal) but the film is still a wonderfully fulfilling and rewarding journey through the tragedies as well as the blessings of adolescence. Sprinkled with some wonderful performances and some poignant life lessons, `Stand by Me' is one of those touching buddy flicks you just can't help but adore. I bought this movie recently. I had never heard of it before, but it was cheap, and it sounded like something my 11 and 10 year old sons might enjoy (my husband too, since he's always been an outdoorsman). We all sat down to watch, and first off, I was annoyed by the boys smoking. On the back cover, it said that the kids 'sneak' smokes. Well, they acted like pros at it! Not like a kid just 'giving it a try' and gagging and coughing, but they acted like it was something they always did, like it was ok. I started smoking back at that age, and I try to stress to my kids that it's NOT ok, and it's a horrible habit to kick! Secondly, the language! OMG! I wanted to crawl in a hole with every other word being a swear word! Heck, I swear, my husband swears, and Lord knows, kids all around them swear, but we don't do it in the house, and we certainly don't want the kids doing it! It's fine to put a word in here and there, shoot, all the movies do! But I didn't think the amount used in this movie was necessary. Then there's the gun and knife. It's not cool to cop a gun from your 'old man'! And it certainly isn't cool to point it at someone, and cock it?? OMG!! My sons have been hunting since they were 8 years old. They know what a gun is used for, and it certainly isn't used for pointing at a bully! Anyway, I'm not a prude in any way, shape, or form, but I was hoping this movie would teach my boys that sure, life is hard, we all have issues in our lives, but we can learn and grow from our situations. We don't need to do it by 'smoking' or carrying a gun! Sure, it had touching moments where the boys cried about issues they had, but that was it. It just showed the issues, it didn't give any clue as to where the boys could go, what they could do, or how they could better themselves. They found the body, and went home to their horrible lives...just as they did before they ventured out. JMOP, Dana STAND BY ME is an amazing film that totally captures small town life, the late 1950's and more universally what it's like to be at that in between age of 12 or 13. It is incredible how much we learn about the four friends - Chris, Gordie, Teddy and Vern - in a relatively short amount of time. This can be credited to the performances of the young actors (all are excellent but River Phoenix really shines) guided by the expert direction of Rob Reiner and maybe most importantly the heartfelt source material, the novella THE BODY by Stephen King which is one of his best efforts outside of the pure horror genre.
One of the things that impressed me most about the film is the kids talk, act and think like real kids of that age still do today and probably always will. It's a shame the film is rated R because of its rough but realistic language since a lot of kids in the 12 - 16 years old age bracket could readily identify with the characters and the themes though granted this is certainly no kiddie movie for the under twelve set. But for anyone who has graduated from sixth grade or so this is a wonderful movie that shouldn't be missed. I just sat down and watched this movie for the first time after hearing about it for as long as I can remember. And I was less than impressed.
The story follows the journey of four boys - Vern, Teddy, Chris, and Gordie (Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman, River Phoenix, and Wil Wheaton) as they transition from boy to man. Or at least teen. The summer before they start Jr. High, a boy their own age goes missing. When Vern hears where the boy's body is, they set out to find it so they can become heroes. While they journey, all four face fears, hopes, and disappointments whether it's the absence of parental love, a future career as a writer, or things that go bump in the night.
To be honest, I can understand why people like this movie. It has a good mix of drama and comedy. The acting is great. The film is set in a small town in the 50's, so there's the nostalgia factor.
So why didn't I like it? First and foremost, the language. That was the real biggie. It was one thing when Ace (Kiefer Sutherland), the leader of the local gang swore. It was something completely different to have these twelve year olds swearing all the time. And frankly, I have a hard time imagining kids swearing that much during the 50's. I'm probably way out in left field, but it doesn't right true. There are several gross out moments I didn't care for. Finally, the ending was depressing. I'll grant you it was realistic. But it was depressing.
I know lots of people who grew up watching this film and absolutely love it. As I said, I can see it why. And maybe if I had seen it when I was younger, I would like it now. As it is, I won't be watching it again. Stand by Me is probably one the strongest films about friendship ever made. It really does make its older audience travel back in time to when we were young and hanging out with our buddies planning to do something extraordinary for the summer. It is all about `coming of age', never over sentimental, yet remaining thoroughly heart rendering in its depiction of youths discovering their inner adult self.
Written by Steven King, this is one of his `Shawshank Redemptions' stories that contains thrills and drama but no horror. The dialogue is superb and very memorable. The story revolves around four boys who overhear that a body of a boy who had been hit by train was seen by some riverbank. They head off on the two day trek and meet many obstacles along the way.
This is also one of director Rob Reiner's best films. It stars Wil Wheaton (Wesley of Star Trek: The Next Generation fame), River Phoenix (who infamously died of a drug overdose), Corey Feldman (of The Lost Boys), Jerry O'Connell (Sliders) and Kiefer Sutherland.
It is also more proof that Stephen King's dramas make much better films than his horrors. A sleeper hit when released in 1986,Stand by Meis based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (from the bookDifferent Seasons); but it's more about the joys and pains of boyhood friendship than a morbid fascination with corpses. It's about four boys ages 12 and 13 (Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O'Connell) who take an overnight hike through the woods near their Oregon town to find the body of a boy who's been missing for days. Their journey includes a variety of scary adventures (including a ferocious junkyard dog, a swamp full of leeches, and a treacherous leap from a train trestle), but it's also a time for personal revelations, quiet interludes, and the raucous comradeship of best friends. Set in the 1950s, the movie indulges an overabundance of anachronistic profanity and a kind of idealistic, golden-toned nostalgia (it's told in flashback as a story written by Wheaton's character as an adult, played by Richard Dreyfuss). But it's delightfully entertaining from start to finish, thanks to the rapport among its young cast members and the timeless, universal themes of friendship, family, and the building of character and self-esteem. Kiefer Sutherland makes a memorable teenage villain, and look closely for John Cusack in a flashback scene as Wheaton's now-deceased and dearly missed brother. A genuine crowd-pleaser, this heartfelt movie led director Rob Reiner to even greater success with his next film,The Princess Bride.--Jeff Shannon Rerations < Stand by Me >

customer 's review (Back To The Future)    
(I Love This Movie!)    
(Weird science and mad scientists in action!)    
(BTTF)   
(A classic)     Have you ever wanted to travel through time? To see the future? To witness historic events? Marty McFy(Michael J. Fox) finds hinself facing this when his friend "Doc" Emmett L. Brown(Christopher Lloyd) builds a time machine. Marty is accidentally sent back to 1955 (from 1985) ( he's only 17, so he hasn't been born yet) and disrupts his parents'(Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) first meeting. On top of that, he might be stuck in 1955 because there isn't much plutonium around yet, and that's what makes the car a time machine.
The actors do a great job of combining reality and science fiction to make my favorite movie.
Do not show to young children who do not know cussing is wrong, as charactars swear freely. I've watched this movie at least 20 times by now and never seem to get tired of it. Michael Fox reacts perfectly to the travel back in time scenario. Watch him squirm when he realizes the 1950s girl making eyes at him is his mom-to-be in 1985. Christopher Lloyd is a comic genius whose body language and facial expressions will have you in stitches. As a nutty professor type trying to invent a time travel machine (and succeeding), he is also perfect for this film. The headlong pacing, plus the humorous and inventive situations make this a fun movie for the whole family. Exciting action/scifi movie with all the standard attributes: car chasings, gun fire, fist fights.... The movie authors ridiculize the great scientist Einstien, by naming the a dog after him, and having a main charcter whose hairstyle is like Einstein's. The plot is about timetravel back and forth to the past (1955) and present (1985).
A high school scateboarding student and his older friend, the "Doc" have adventures while travelling to the past and present. Of course, in real life this is not possible. As long as you don't object to the impossible time travel, the rest of the movie is entertaining and energizing.
The music is dynamic... A hard rock song ("The power of love") is the main theme. And there is nice jazzy muzic, when they reach 1955. The time travel is accomplished by using a remote-controlled car. There are some hidden commercials of Pepsi and Calvin Klein. All in all, it's a very well done movie! Over the course of our lives, we see things change, just as it is portrayed in the movie, so the movie makes sense to me. Actually, I have done some time travelling myself as well. I left my country and came back 10 years later. Boy, how different it looked! So I can almost identify with the movie's plot. That's why I give it a full 5 stars rating and two thumbs up! BACK TO THE FUTURE
this experience is as good a movie now, as it was in 1985.
back to the future is a rewarding family experience that combines learning about technology and science "no this sucker is electrical, but I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts for the time distortion field", family values "marty you have got to save your father now, or else he will be ERASED! , erased from existence....." and a fun time into one great experience.
If you go to film school, teach those academic idiots a lesson about real filmmaking and talk about back to the future... Filmmaking is NOT an academic exercise, its an experience... yo have to live it, and walk the walk to be a part of it...

If a film is not there to have a good time, what the hell is it for?????
Okay so maybe it's not a classic...but I think that it should be. This is a very well written script that stands the test of time. Watching this film on cable yesterday, the movie doesn't once fall into the campy column. I can't say the same for the rest of the series. To tell you the truth I think that they should have stopped at the one movie. But still, this movie has everything, laughs, lite-suspense, and just an all around good, clean family fun. Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "future boy," who is president in the United States in 1985? Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan. Dr. Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hitRomancing the Stonewith this joyous comedy with a dazzling hook: what would it be like to meet your parents in their youth? Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the '50s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the '50s, filtered through the knowledge of the '80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as aTwilight Zoneepisode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. Followed by two sequels.--Doug Thomas Rerations < Back to the Future >

(Online Idiots)
(What True Indie Films Should Be...Raw and Uncensored.)    
(Great movie!)    
(Low Budget?)     Gimme Skelter is an amazing example of the underground horror movie movement going on in Albuquerque, NM where people who love movies are making the kind of fun, outrageous schlock reminiscent of the low-budget horror films of the 70s. Set in a small town in New Mexico, Skelter follows a gang of murderers led by a man who believes himself to be the son of Charles Manson. He is trying to outdo dear old dad by killing more people than he did. This movie is obviously not for everyone. There is a lot of sex and gore that will upset the more squeamish (i.e. uptight) among you. But if you love extreme, raw, unpolished movies made by people who weren't influenced by focus groups and corporate meat-heads then Gimme Skelter is a must-own. I would just like to take the time to let anyone know who is reading this that my review is the only "real" one on this page. The other 7 reviews are all written by the same moron (and yes i'm sure you were very involved with this garbage film moron lol) Just click on the link to read all his/her reviews and you will see.............These sorry people trying to promote there straight to dvd near shot on video trash always come on here and get all there friends to put a good review up for there film. It's easy to catch them, they just make up an account and only review this film on it. Thats why whenever i read reviews about films this low budget i click on everyones link to see if they are fake and most of the time they are. Just a heads up to anyone who doesn't want to waste money....plus any movie nowadays that features gunnar is more then likely trash....later. I had heard about this film via Elske McCain. She was at Scream O Rama here in Tucson. That's when the intrest sparked. Also seeing some of the goodies on her Myspace page was a huge boost also.
I finally found a few copies at our local record store here. I picked it up and took it home. Upon watching it, I was reminded of my love for indie films. Gimmie Skelter has some scenes where one feels utterly filthy because it's so brutal and raw. If you are a fan of zany horror films with the very raw feel, then this is the one for you. This one also offers a small amount of humor to it.
Gunnar Hansen has a very modest role and does a great job with it. Elske's may be smaller than I had hoped, but it's not the size of her role. It's what she did with it, that is important.
Pick it up, you won't be sorry at all. Support your local artists and indie films. This movie rocks from start to finish! Buy it! You will love it. I watch a lot of low-budget films, and believe that every film no matter the budget has a chance at being great. Some of the best films I've seen have been very low budget. GIMME SKELTER is not only a great low-budget film, it is just a great film period. The film easily moves from horror to comedy to drama and back. And GIMME SKELTER also is by for the best serious acting I have ever seen from Gunnar Hansen - his delivery of the line "You shoulda been there..." gets me a bit misty-eyed every time, and I am not trying to be funny - that moment in that scene (watch the movie if you want to know what I am talking about) is extremely sad and powerful. The film's story, characters, acting, production, all hides its low-budget makings. This is dark, twisted, funny, serious film making for the independently minded crowd. Highly recommended.
And to be fair, I was involved in the production of this film. But I truly would have written the same thing if I were not involved; I never expected to be involved with such an outstanding film at the budget level I work within.
