"DOWN, OUT AND DANGEROUS" On A Friday Night! - Why not, right? 1995 Made-For-TV movie stars RICHARD THOMAS and BRUCE DAVISON, Thomas plays an escaped convict who makes life for Bruce quite....HORRIFIC!!

You can file this one under obscure TV movies,

ya dig? A little bit like Pacific Heights but instead

of a low-life squatting and refusing to leave, it's

a low-life posing as a homeless person. I believe 

this was a period of time in the early 90's

where psycho homeless people movies

were very popular, fortunately a short-lived

period. Television vet Richard Thomas kills

it in this, by far the best performance I've

ever seen from him. Bruce Davison is also

in top form and the big cat n mouse game 

between this two for most the film, they 

are perfect together. Using my Palm Springs

Rating System, I give this obscurity a solid

Three palm trees....The Horror!!

Down, Out And Dangerous

HORRIFIC COVER SONGS THURSDAY! - JOHN HIATT Covers The ISLEY BROTHER's "FIGHT THE POWER" on his first big US Tour in 1979 at The Bottom Line in NYC on Halloween 1979....THE HORROR!!

HORRIFIC COVER SONG THURSDAY! - Our Beloved House Band THE BLACK CROWES Do Up Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "PRE-ROAD DOWNS" in a transcendental version at Amsterdam 2006,,,,The Sheer Horror!!

"What was I saying again?"

The Crowes have covered many bands and songs through the

years, they literally could fill up scores of cd's. Their 

 CSNY's Pre-Road Downs is one of the more esoteric 

selections but totally fits the vibe of this heavily touring

band, they might as well wrote it themselves!

from Amsterdam 2006 - 7daylink

The Horror!!

careful around this next bend, we're headed for "BAD COUNTRY"! - 2014 Thriller with MATT DILLON and WILLEM DAFOE about a convict turned informant and the cop he helped bring down an entire syndicate.....THE HORROR!!

Had I seen just the poster by itself I probably never

would have checked it out, guns are not really my

scene, ya dig? The story's been told before and there's

nothing spectacular with the production values,

but the performances of two veteran actors that have

both been around since the 80's, Willem Dafoe is

great as always, and my man Matt Dillon turns

in another riveting performance, it's just amazing

to see how far his acting chops have come since

the days of Tex ha ha. Well this ain't no editorial

type blog so I'll get right to the Palm Springs Rating

System on this with Three Solid Palm Trees.
