Grease (1978)

It only takes one listen for Grease to plant itself into your head and set up a permanent home. In no time, you’ll be reaching for the remote so you can watch this classic musical again. You'll make it your mission to memorize the songs so you can sing along to Summer Nights, You’re the One That I Want, Greased Lightnin’ and the other memorable tunes.

It’s back to school at Rydell High, 1958. Sweet-natured Sandy Olsson (Olivia Newton-John) is shocked to discover her summer crush, Danny Zuko (John Travolta) is not the same boy she met on the beach. A greaser and member of the T-Birds, he plays it off as if their romance meant nothing to him, but that sentiment won’t last.

Grease starts on the right note with an animated intro that recalls the cartoons of the ’50s (Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends comes to mind). It sets the mood and, combined with Summer Nights tells you exactly what’s in store next. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are perfect together, the choreography and sure-thing romance get you excited for more. There's not much depth to anything we see but that's perfectly suited to this nostalgia-fuelled, breezy love story filled with teenage drama and a lot of energy.

Much of the film’s success comes from an unexpected source: Stockard Channing as Betty Rizzo, the sarcastic, cynical leader of the Pink Ladies, the clique who adopts Sandy. This movie has many moments of cheese, but Rizzo proves the screenplay by Allan Carr is also self-aware. As the audience gets ready to make a snarky remark at the “Why has he changed?” or “How can I romance her without being embarrassed in front of my friends?” sentiment, Rizzo beats you to the punch. Either by tossing a joke into the mix or introducing genuinely important teenage issues and sentiments. Ultimately the film is still a fantasy that leaves you cheering, but that slight edge prevents you from dismissing it as an airhead. That said, there is one element of the film that is dated: Danny's friends. Their toxic masculinity hints at an unintended, darker edge. For this reason, a few key lyrics have been tweaked in later production. It's easy to see why. Such is the price for enduring for this long. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Grease is too much fun for you to be offended.

There are many big laughs and heart-fluttering moments as director Randal Kleiser paints this picture of a time when things were simpler and every conflict could be expressed, then resolved through song and dance. The leads are splendid. The supporting cast members make even their small contributions impactful thanks to some witty lines and memorable moments. Is Grease going to convert those who don’t like musicals? I don’t think so, but for those who already like it when characters express their feelings through rhyme, music and footwork, it’s a blast. (On DVD, November 24, 2017)

Face/Off (1997, dir. John Woo) - review by Rookie-Critic

As you can probably tell, I've started down something of a Nicolas Cage path, which is something I've always really wanted to do. There are so many classic clips, lines, faces, moments, you name it, from Cage movies across his entire career. The cult status of a lot of Cage's films is staggering, and a lot of them have built up a reputation so strong that you almost can't exist as an adult in modern society without at least having heard of a good number of them. There are hardly any of his litany of classics that this is more true for than Face/Off. This is one that I have wanted to see for an incredibly long time, mostly based off what I had heard about Cage's performance and just the general insanity of the plot, so I was very excited to finally cross this one off.

Let me start by saying that this is so deserving of the love it receives. It is crazy, it is unbelievable, at times it is incredibly stupid, but isn't that what we all want out of this? I can't really put myself in the shoes of the average moviegoer in 1997, because it is so hard for me to break away from the perception of Nicolas Cage as he exists now, and the reputation and iconography he's known for, but even in 2023, this is a pretty crazy performance from him. It's not as unhinged as I was prepared for, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that, for most of the film, he's not Nicolas Cage, he's Nicolas Cage impersonating John Travolta. I'd say he doesn't do a horrible job with this, but I wasn't necessarily getting Travolta from it. On the other side of things, John Travolta is truly the star of this film. I know people constantly reference this as a great Cage milestone performance, but really the great Nicolas Cage performance of this film isn't even given by Cage himself, but rather by John Travolta doing a stellar impersonation of Cage's acting style. I've never viewed Travolta as a particularly amazing actor, I think he's good and has been in some pretty classic things, but I don't think those things are made classic by his presence in the same way that Cage's presence does. That is not the case here. I really, truly believe that Face/Off has the reputation it does, and the beloved-status that it does, because of Travolta, even if people don't realize. Another thing that really gives this film a leg up is that John Woo is a really good director who knows his way around a film set and a camera. The way this movie is shot is gorgeous. I caught myself multiple times throughout the film noticing how great the shots are, and even said, "ok, that shot was actually pretty sick," out loud a few times to the friends I was watching it with.

Now, this was the the late 90s, and there are a handful of ridiculous, silly things that I noticed: a lot of the explosions at the beginning of the film are clearly just fireworks, there are multiple shots, especially during the boat scene, where you can see the stunt doubles' faces, the bodies laying on the tables during the titular face/off surgery (which I learned after the film were actually painstakingly made animatronics) are uncanny valley representations of Travolta and Cage, the actress playing the daughter, Dominique Swain, doesn't give the best performance, and if I saw John Travolta wipe his hand down the face of one more person, I was gonna lose it. Some of these negatives genuinely detriment the film, but I found some of them added to the endearing qualities of it. The 92% Face/Off has on Rotten Tomatoes feels pretty generous, but really my score isn't much worse than that. Face/Off was great, and it deserves the legacy it's cultivated.

Score: 8/10

Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and on DVD/Blu-ray through Paramount Pictures.

Film after film: Face/Off (dir. John Woo, 1997)

Entertaining, stupid and full of unnecessary slow motion, this film was big when I was reaching young adulthood and had no patience for Cage, Travolta, and Woo. Having watched it for the first time, I cringed at the pathos and enjoyed the hamming of the two central stars. Possibly partially due to his recent renaissance, I give a slight advance to Cage, who doesn't modulate but pleasantly shape-shifts between his two personas, while Travolta, as usual, turns up the most interesting in scenes when he doesn't talk but pauses and emotes with his face. Allen is at her usual solid, while Gershon is amazing as the mother who's involved with Cage's character but reads, without much pretend, his bullshitty over-the-top ego trips. Her and Cho (who's also good here) could easily pull off a way more interesting woman-led version of this film. What got really old about this film is its brown-palette looks.

MY CULTURAL FIRSTS

Louise Brealey: My first kiss with Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch

The actor and writer on taking acid at her first gig, meeting Michael Caine – and the moment she knew the BBC detective drama was going to be huge

Louise Brealey

LEO STAAR

Jake Helm

Sunday November 12 2023, 12.13am GMT, The Sunday Times

First concert I went to

I would like to say an unknown band called Blur in a tiny tent at Reading in 1994, but I accidentally took my first and very much last acid tab off an apprentice plumber called Tony from Swansea and watched the The on the big stage instead. It was all fine until the music started to creep up from the grass right up my legs and I was surrounded by terrifying gargoyles.

First pop-inspired fashion trends I adopted

I’m afraid I was a relentlessly unfashionable child. I was a square and listened to 10cc I’m Not in Love and The Eagles’ Desperado on repeat. I did love Robert Smith [from the Cure] but I didn’t wear enormous jumpers until my twenties.

First time I realised the BBC drama Sherlock was going to be a huge hit

The read-through was electric, which is not normal. Usually, it’s nerve-jangling because everyone is terrified they’re going to be sacked. A few weeks later I was watching the scene where Benedict first stuck his head round the lab door and said to Martin Freeman: “The name is Sherlock Holmes and the address is 221b Baker Street.” And I thought, yes it is. But really, I realised it was going to be huge when I was on early Twitter and the show went off. When Sherlock kissed [my character] Molly I got 60,000 followers in an hour.

Louise Brealey as Molly Hooper, right, and the cast of Sherlock

TODD ANTONY/BBC

First TV show I enjoyed

Like everyone at school I was obsessed by Jim’ll Fix It. I put two letters into one envelope to double my chances. One was to ask to meet John Travolta because I’d seen him star in The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, a film in which he plays this kid that can’t step outside a little plastic tent or he’ll die. The other was asking to meet the pop star Paul Young — I figured I had a better chance with him because he was from Luton. At least I didn’t do what my brother did and write to Jimmy Savile to ask to meet Rolf Harris.

First film I saw at the cinema

The first film I saw on my own at the pictures was Stand by Me at The Point in Milton Keynes. I had seen River Phoenix in the video for Ben E King’s single on Top of the Pops and was utterly love-struck. That was it. River was the only one for me. I still think River was the great acting talent of his generation.

First time I cried at the cinema

Watership Down. That was actually the first film I saw at the cinema. At the Palace in Wellingborough, when I was five or six. It was the first time I had any clue that creatures die. I was very affected by it — I called my next rabbit Bright Eyes.

First actor I admired

Joan Greenwood in Kind Hearts and Coronets. She was the single most beautiful woman I’d ever seen — and I was fascinated by her voice. I also loved Richard Burton’s voice, mainly because he narrated The War of the Worlds, my dad’s favourite album. I wanted to marry Richard Burton so I could listen to him all day long.

First thing I did to embody my new character Deb in Such Brave Girls

I started with her voice. I wanted to use the Northamptonshire accent. It’s the land of my birth and how my whole family talks except for me because I was a scholarship kid at a posh school, and I’ve never worked in it before. And then the clothes — Deb is obsessed with being feminine, so with her costumes it’s often about the cleavage. I think of her as a wily street rat in dangly earrings.

First famous person I met

I didn’t meet anyone famous until my first proper job, which was as a film journalist. The most exciting thing to happen was to go to a film set and sit in Michael Caine’s trailer. He asked: “Would you like to marry me?” I blushed and started stammering at him. And then he politely pushed a little dish of Murray Mints in my direction and I realised that he’d actually said: “Would you like a Murray Mint?”

top 5 male and female performances from things you've watched this year

Female:

Sheryl Lee as Laura Palmer, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. How her career didn't blow up after FWWM I'll never understand. She's AMAZING, my #1 Scream Queen❤️

Margarete Schön as Kriemhild of Burgund, Die Nibelungen. Her transformation from Siegfried to Kriemhild's Revenge... People were killed (literally)!

Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. Now come awn now!

Maria Falconetti as Jeanne D'Arc, The Passion of Joan of Arc. The immense pathos this movie has which is in large part due to Falconetti's mesmerizing performance.

Olivia de Havilland as Catherine Sloper, The Heiress. Another amazing transformation performance.

Male:

Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, The Godfather part II. Make fun of me for being A plebian who only watched the Godfather movies this year all you want, I have the 4K steelbooks. And they sent me on a Pakino binge my letterboxd stats will never recover from.

Peter O'Toole as T.E Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia. Need I say more.

John Travolta as Jack Terry, Blow Out. The movie that made me realize Travolta is a great fucking actor when he has the right project and director.

Tony Curtis as Joe/Josephine, Some Like It Hot. I was very impressed by how not only funny and realized but also very distinctive each of his three "roles" were (Joe/Josephine/Shell Oil Jr.).

Jack Lemmon as C.C Baxter, The Apartment. Just the sweetest guy. Lemmon balances charm, witty self-deprecation, and tenderness so well.

My personal ST sexuality headcanons :) IK it’s long stfu I needed to get this out

Nancy: I’d say she’s a lesbian just strong wlw vibes all around, she was into dudes but platonically and mistakes the desire for affection and friendship as romantic feelings and just thought her attraction to women was bestie vibes only :)

Robin: Fuhkin gay. so gay. Figured out she was gay from a kitschy erotica novel that she stole from a yard sale when she was 12 (the ones with huge half-breed musclemen and fainting women in ripped bodices on the cover)

Steve: Oh homie, get some dick. Watched Grease when he was 11 and had a boner he had to hide throughout the whole thing because he was sweating from John Travolta and Olivia Newman.

Eddie: way too gender to not be nonbinary (he/they king) also BISEXUALLL so bisexual like he radiates bisexual slut (affectionate) Maybe pansexual? He also gives pansexual vibes in a total “*shrug* ass is ass, man” kinda way. Was that one kid who was kissing boys in secret when he was 6 and putting on lipstick before having a crisis at 14 and sadly became a total shithead before going back to being a nerd at 16. Blows men at truck stops without shame.

Billy: Fakes being straight but is the biggest fag in history like stone butch has had affairs with 13 different men. Makes women want to leave their husbands but even more so makes men leave their wives. He does drag and is intense enough that if anyone tries to make fun of them he’ll beat their asses until they’d have to be scraped off the floor with a spatula.

Eleven: Ok so like, really heteromantic but experimental with girls. Asexual but doesn’t really understand her asexuality so developed a pretty shitty mindset of thinking something was wrong with her. Max being educated on this helped her understand herself better probably.

Max: B I S E X U A L all the way omg. Fucking definition of hot bi girl. I’d say also poly?? She’s the girl that Joan Jett is singing about in AC/DC.

Lucas: Just told people he was a spicy straight after he was caught making out with a guy. Actually bisexual but has a shit ton of internalized biphobia. Which leads to shit getting rocky with max sometimes.

Mike: Oh god he needs to get dicked down even harder than Steve he has so much internalized homophobia. I’m not even going to call him bi he just feels so gay it ain’t even funny.

Dustin: panromantic asexual. I dunno how to elaborate but his mom bought him a barbie when he asked for one. He’s just chill about his sexuality doesn’t get the big whoop about why it’s so important. He doesn’t really like pride but went to a parade wearing a pan flag with Suzie who’s pan as well and he’s super supportive of her .

Will: Toned down gay, similar to Dustin where he really doesn’t give a shit about sexuality like has a very “gay isn’t different to straight so let’s all just be treated as equal it should just be considered normal” mentality. Tho I reckon he’s the sort that would throw a brick through a window if he had to. More punk scene activist less Yas Queen

Jonathan: Aroace, depressed and felt desperate to feel something so convinced himself he was in love with Nancy. Still unaware of what he is :(

Joyce: Bisexual. No elaboration.

Chrissy: Pansexual. She looks like a walking pansexual flag.

I probably missed some people out lol i’m just tired <3

Robert Stigwood: the greatest showman

Young gay South Australian Robert Stigwood hitchhiked to England in 1955 and went on to become one of the greatest entertainment impresarios in history; responsible for movies like Saturday Night Fever and Grease.

In Adelaide, young Robert had worked as a copywriter for an advertising agency. In England, he initially found work in an ‘institution for backwards teenage boys’. His main job was ‘preventing any flow of traffic’ between dorms after lights out. Unimpressed by his duties, he quit.

After setting up a theatrical agency with a friend, Robert Stigwood quickly became a revolutionary power in British pop music. By the end of the sixties, he managed supergroup Cream and the Bee Gees, a trio of young English brothers who grew up in Brisbane.

Wham! manager Simon Napier-Bell wrote that Robert Stigwood loved the music business and became the first British music tycoon.

“He became fascinated by it. He loved its trickery and tease, and the apparent ease with which money could be made … And what made Robert Stigwood different from his predecessors is that he expanded laterally. He didn’t remain simply a manager or an agent. He moved into music publishing as well, and into pop concert promotion. But his real contribution to the British music scene was independent record production.

“He was in every way the first British music business tycoon, involved in every aspect of the music scene, and setting a precedent that was to become the blueprint of success for all future pop entrepreneurs.”

Soon, he added stage musicals to his repertoire, producing shows like Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. In 1975, he produced the film of the Who’s rock opera Tommy.

And then he bought the rights to a magazine article about the disco scene emerging from gay and black clubs in the US.

Saturday Night Fever

Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night was mostly made up, but something in the article resonated with Robert Stigwood. He’d already signed television actor John Travolta to a million-dollar contract and commissioned the Bee Gees to write the soundtrack.

With its gay and black origins whitewashed, disco suddenly enjoyed commercial appeal.

The double-LP soundtrack for Saturday Night Fever became the biggest-selling soundtrack album ever released.

The movie and soundtrack popularised disco around the world and had a massive impact on popular culture.

As did Robert Stigwood’s follow-up, Grease, again starring John Travolta, this time teamed up with Australian singer Olivia Newton-John.

Although well-known to be gay, Robert Stigwood never came out. He died in 2016, aged 81.
