Directed by Jack Sholder
After a demanding evening spent bumping and grinding at The Harem Room, a weary young dancer packs up her gear and exits the club to a chorus of catcalls. She responds by whipping out a state-of-the-art shotgun and laying waste to not only to the would-be lotharios but a good section of Hollywood Boulevard. Is this the continuing story of Abel Ferrara’s Ms. 45? No, it’s Jack Sholder’s The Hidden, one of the wittiest B movies of the eighties.
That stripper’s gun-happy rampage is just the latest in a series of increasingly bizarre crimes catapulting the baffled police into a futile game of whack-a-mole; as soon as the cops eliminate one gunman,...

It took a seven-year quest and a lot of hard work to bring The Crystal Maze back to television. Here’s how it happened…
It’s seven a.m. and Neale Simpson is pushing a Henry Hoover around the reception of The Crystal Maze Experience in Islington. He and his team have been at work for over thirty-six hours, during which time he’s overseen the installation and removal of a television production crew in a space emphatically not designed for shooting TV. He is, by his own admission, “feeling delirious through a heady combination of lack of sleep and our having managed to film the show.”

Hot off the press comes the news that The Crystal Maze is to make a comeback via Channel Four for a complete series with the slightly left of centre Richard Ayoade, to host this iconic game show.
Speculation has been circling for a while over the series host and it’s finally been confirmed that deadpan funny man, actor, director, writer and television presenter, Ayoade, is set to follow in the footsteps of the legendary Richard O’Brien who hosted the original series which ran on Channel Four between 1990 and 1993 and then Ed Tudor-Pole from 93 until the show’s end in 1995.
The show will have a staggering 20-hour long episodes which are due to start filming later on in the year. Quite frankly, was there any question over who would have been the utmost perfect fit for this show? We can imagine the people down at the...

[This week's "Retro Active" pick is inspired by the aliens-and-cops sequel Men in Black III.]
An aliens-among-us thriller containing social and gender critiques within its body-invasion exterior, The Hidden blends various influences into a fast, funny and surprisingly sharp B-movie. That's not necessarily what you'd expect from helmer Jack Sholder, whose credits include the abysmal A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Yet his direction has a fleet, no-nonsense quality—highlighted by a few extended handheld shots that give the material some jazzy energy—that's perfect for this tale of L.A. cop Tom Beck (Flashdance's Michael Nouri), who's introduced trying to stop the robbery-and-murder rampage of a trenchcoated everyman (Chris Mulkey). This villain's murderous habits involve stealing Ferraris and listening to hard rock and heavy metal, as well as a more general take-what-i-want attitude that, altogether, makes him a caricature of materialistic '80s greed and entitlement. Moreover, there's a strong sense that he also represents the ugliest side of uninhibited masculinity,...

Since today is Presidents Day, I thought it would be a good time to give a fun list of the 10 best fictional movie presidents. I have to say that I think we need a Harrison Ford type president in the White House today. Check out the list below, and let us know who you would like to see as the real president of the United States.
I think all of these movies are worth watching again if you haven't seen them in awhile.
Donald Pleasance as President “Unknown Name” – Escape From New York
Air Force One crash lands in the futuristic dystopia Manhattan which has been turned into a maximum security prison, and the President is taken hostage by the criminals. Snake Pliskin is injected with a serum that will kill him in 24 hours, to get the antidote and survive he must save the President.

In all the history of film and television, the President of the United States has only ever been played by a black man seven times (technically, eight). In all seven of those representations, only twice has the president not been undergoing some sort of national/worldwide/intergalactic disaster. Granted, usually when any man plays the president, its usually some kind of disaster film, but even then, most them get to be action heroes. Harrison Ford made Gary Oldman get off his plane -- Air Force One -- and Bill Pullman suited up to duke it out with the aliens in Independence Day. But the black prez rarely get a chance to throwdown.
In the two films where the black president takes office and there's not a national emergency, both presidents take office only after Whitey dies. In Head of State, Chris Rock is Mays Gilliam, an Alderman nominated only because...

He’s the Chief Executive, the Chief Legislator, the Commander-In-Chief, the Chief Diplomat, and just about the Chief Everything. The President of the USA is one of the most symbolic and fictionalised figures in the world.
Barack Obama is inaugurated this week. Will he be able to sort out Iraq? Fix the economy? Restore faith and pride into a divided America? No one knows, but what we can do is look back at some of Hollywood’s offers of President of the United States, and see how they sized up to mighty challenges.
These are the Top Ten Movie Presidents to ever grace our screens.
10. President “Unknown Name” - Henry Fonda (Fail Safe)
In a movie that is practically the serious drama version of Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove; Henry Fonda plays a president on the brink of nuclear destruction. After an accidental breach of Russian security, a missile is launched and is heading for Moscow,...

Sing “The Star Spangled Banner”, play a little baseball or chow down on some apple pie as today is all about America. Yes, the eyes of the world are on the Us of A as Barack Obama is inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States in a mere matter of hours. Here at Boxwish we’ve gotten into the American spirit by looking at how real-life presidents have been given the Hollywood treatment in our feature here, but American TV news channel CNN has taken a different approach rating its favourite fictional and real-life inhabitants of the Oval Office. And the top pick isn’t immediately obvious coming in the shape of Peter Sellers’s President Merkin Muffley from Stanley Kubrick’s seminal black comedy Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
