One Dress a Day Challenge

September: Bond Films

Goldeneye / Samantha Bond as Miss (Eve) Moneypenny

I think Samantha Bond is my second-favorite Moneypenny after Lois Maxwell. Her banter with Pierce Brosnan was great. This is from her first appearance in the role, when she's been summoned from a date to brief James Bond on an emergency situation, so it's a rare chance to see her dressed up in this little black dress with lace sleeves and a scalloped sweetheart neckline. We never really get to see the skirt, but it seems fairly short.

Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995)

Die Hard with a Vengeance marks a turning point for the series. Bruce Willis’ John McClane is starting to have a lot more in common with the typical invincible movie action heroes and less with the audience members watching him on the big screen. The setting is also a big departure from what we saw earlier: the action takes place in the entirety of New York rather than in an isolated location. That’s alright. It wouldn’t make sense for what we saw in Die Hard and Die Hard 2 to happen AGAIN. This movie’s trying something different and with the team up of Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, it's a refreshing change.

After a bomb is detonated in New York City, the man responsible, “Simon” (Jeremy Irons), gives the NYPD an ultimatum: John McClane (Willis) must follow a series of clues and riddles to disarm various explosives spread throughout the city. If he doesn't, more people will die. Helping McClane is Zeus Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), a civilian who tries to intervene and unwillingly becomes a player in this deadly game of “Simon Says”.

Directed by John McTiernan, the film feels like “Die Hard” in several ways and doesn’t in others. McClane still has his smart mouth and approaches the clues he has to unravel in unconventional ways. He might not be trapped in a building or an airport but he is forced to confront Simon, who has the city trapped. Jeremy Irons’ character also makes this feel like Die Hard because he’s a charismatic, intelligent foe whose initial plan hides something much bigger and grander. Another detail about him (I won't spoil it) ties this picture back to the first. It feels a bit contrived but assuming you buy it, the motivations all make sense.

At its weakest, Die Hard 3 falls prey to its own fantastic stunts. Even with McClane being a trained police officer and his “abilities” rubbing off on Zeus, there are some stunts here no one could survive in real life. They certainly make the film feel bigger than the first two but this also makes it feel too long. Don’t get me wrong. The action is great. You get car chases, time-sensitive puzzles, foot races, shootouts, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, narrow escapes, and more. It’s just that you look at this movie, you flashback to a few years prior when a lack of shoes was a big deal and it feels like that gap is too wide.

A large part of this film’s success is due to the performances, or rather the natural charisma of its leads. Willis has proven himself twice in the series already and he does so again. As mentioned before, Irons is great as a bad guy you love to hate. Finally, there’s Samuel L. Jackson. There’s immediate tension between Zeus and McClane. One of Zeus’ first lines has him tell his nephews to stay away from white people. Needless to say, he does not like the police. Now, these two are going to have to work together for the greater good. The back-and-forth dialogue as they argue while rushing to the clues Simon is giving them is filled with laughs and memorable one-liners. In many ways, this is exactly what you want when you hear Jackson is in a film.

Die Hard with s Vengeance is a good, but not great, third installment in the series. It doesn’t repeat what happened before but contains certain elements that make it feel similar. You won’t be watching it every December 25th but when it comes to the stunts, the laughs and the thrills, it satisfies plenty. (On Blu-ray, November 26, 2021)

One Dress a Day Challenge

January: Red Redux

Clueless / Alicia Silverstone as Cher Horowitz

Cher wears a couple of red minidresses during the movie, but this one is the Alaïa! The other one is fine (see below), but a quick comparison shows how small details can make a difference even on a dress with so little to it. The different shoulder straps and neckline give this one a much more sophisticated look.

Cher wears this dress to a Christmas party. Mona May, the costume designer, made the jacket.

River of Grass (1995, dir. Kelly Reichardt) - review by Rookie-Critic

I found River of Grass to be a little less impactful than Old Joy was, the 2 leads in this one weren't nearly as sympathetic, but overall I still enjoyed it. Both films dive into the lives of characters who, at some level (a bit more directly in this film), want to escape their situation. Both are films about feeling stuck in life and not truly knowing where to go or what to do or how to do it. I appreciate River of Grass' take on it, but there was something about the serenity hidden in the mundanity of Old Joy that just hit a little more strongly.

Score: 7/10

Available on DVD & Blu-ray through Oscilloscope Laboratories.

It was also cool to see an incredibly young Larry Fessenden, who at this point in his career is recognized by horror fans the world over, in a very decidedly not horror film.

Nemesis 2: Nebula (1995)

You have to wait a little to understand why people call 1992’s Nemesis a Terminator ripoff. The visual resemblances aren’t there in the first scene. The theme of mechanical infiltrators is buried beneath a jumble of needlessly labyrinthine would-be spy work. That’s not the case with Nemesis 2: Nebula. This is unmistakenly a clone of the 1995 sci-fi classic (despite coming XX years after), which makes it much more fun.

73 after the previous film (and featuring none of the characters we saw during that cliffhanger of an ending), humans have lost the Cyborg Wars. Rebel scientists have developed a new strain of DNA and bred a saviour who can free us from our mechanical oppressors. To escape them, Alex (played as an adult by Sue Price) is sent back in time to 1980. 20 years later, a cyborg bounty hunter named Nebula (Chad Stahelski) arrives to kill her before she can win the battle for the future…

Details have been tweaked. Nebula isn’t after Sarah Connor, she’s after John, who is a woman… so basically Sarah Connor. There’s no Kyle Reese because, as a super soldier with enhanced DNA, Alex looks more like Arnold Schwarzenegger than Lynda Hamilton. The film isn’t set in the United States, it’s in East Africa because… it’s much cheaper to shoot there! Like the T-800, Nebula can infiltrate our society without arousing suspicion. Either with its cloaking forcefield, which makes it kinda invisible in a way that’s ripping off Predator or by hiding off-screen and killing everyone it encounters before they can sound the alarm. It’s vague. I suspect they wanted to mask how crappy their monster looked by throwing a bunch of effects on top. It's a little more likely a reason than filmmaker Albert Pyun choosing to rip off not one, but two Schwarzenegger action movies at once.

This is a perfect film to pair up with Terminator. Obviously, the plots are similar but Nemesis 2 perfectly highlights just what makes the 1984 James Cameron movie so good. Sure Price has the physique to be an action star but she’s got exactly zero charisma and just as much screen presence. Her character is so poorly developed and defined, her dialogue is so limited, she might as well be a robot herself. You basically watch her run around, dispatching one fool after another with the insectoid-looking killer in tow, reducing everything in sight to cinders. You get a sense she might’ve had more material on paper but that many of her lines got cut because of her atrocious performance.

The whole thing’s constructed like a robot made of cardboard and bubblegum. The tribe who discovers Alex somehow knows her name. The beginning of the movie is entirely subtitled because obviously no one there would speak English… until Alex is on her own and it’s revealed she’s known the language since birth. That's a headscratcher. Nemesis 2 repeatedly and severely underestimates how much we’ll like or dislike the people we encounter on this adventure. You’re desperate for something to latch onto. You’re having fun at the movie’s expense, cracking jokes at the lousy production and quoting your favorite lines from the Terminator series when we meet Emily (Tina Cote), a woman taken prisoner by some bad guys. Alex rescues Emily (and her dialogue-free friend who serves basically no purpose). Now, you expect the pair to bond. Compared to Sue Price, Tina is a deity of theater. Obviously, she’ll stick around. Maybe she'll even be the “Sarah Connor” to Alex’s “Kyle Reese”. I know I’m not the only one getting strong lesbian vibes from the movie so you REALLY think something will come of their meeting… but no! From the way the film ends, we’re supposed to dislike Emily and think her a villain! It’s one of the many bewildering turns the story takes.

Nemesis 2: Nebula can be fun to watch when paired with the right movie and crowd. It’s an ineptly directed and shoddily assembled film with a thin plot and minimal dialogue. You can easily follow it while basically hurling things at the screen. It’s no classic but if you’re making your way through the series and want to make an event out of it, then I say throw this one in the mix. (On Blu-ray, July 26, 2019)
