michelle pfeiffer is great in this film. i love her early work. films like ladyhawke, into the night, and even grease 2. these flicks showed a more likeable side of her, whereas she became more jaded in her later work. into the night is a well made film with landis dark sense of humor. i especially loved david bowie as the assasin. i’d love to see the film on bluray .

opens so promisingly. goldblum plays an aerospace engineer who is unhappily married, unhappily employed, depressed and restless. when he finds out his wife is having an affair, he gets up in the middle of the night and drives his car to the airport planning to fly off into the night .
in addition to reviewing films, agee was also a groundbreaking screenwriter, adapting davis grubb’s novel the night of the hunter into the vividly creepy 1955 movie of the same name, and also helping to adapt c. s. forester’s novel the african queen into the 1951 film classic .

the actual film probably dips into the well of having king sing the chorus of “into the night” in - between scenes one too many times. however, such an unrelenting march into night must have been how landis felt at the time. he was still dealing with the legal fallout of the deaths of three actors on the 1982 set of twilight zone: the movie. vic morrow and two child actors, aged 6 and 7, died when a helicopter stunt went very, very wrong. landis was charged with manslaughter, but the only guilt he acknowledged was knowingly hiring the child actors in violation of california law which prohibited them from working at night or in proximity to explosions. he was acquitted of all charges, but not until 1987. as such, in 1985 making a film about a man suffering through insomnia and plunging headlong into an endless, increasingly hostile night, seemed to mirror landis’ own state of mind, a reflection of his dark night of the soul .

that’s the question jeff goldblum asks himself throughout into the night. it was also the thought running through my head around 2 am on a random weeknight a couple of months ago. i was going through a weird, mild bout of insomnia in which i kept waking up every night around 2 or 3 am and could not get back to sleep. as a pop culture obsessive, my initial instinct was to simply turn on the tv and flip through the channels in search of something to watch. one night i stumbled on the opening credits sequence of 1985’s into the night. i had no idea what the film was about or who was in it. i just knew i’d never heard the bb king song (the appropriately titled “into the night”) playing over the soundtrack as a car dashboard camera depicted the nocturnal happenings of mid - 80s los angeles .

also a list / scenes with all the cameos in the film, from directors such as david cronenberg, roger vadim, paul bartel, jonathan demme (all of whom are criterion alumni), don siegel and many others, would be a fun extra that people who bought the film and wanted to make sure they knew who each of these people played in the film. plenty of other people, such as dan akroyd, could do an interview for the film (just don’t ask him about the next ghostbusters film or aliens and we’ll be fine) and maybe getting a few of the critics who gave the film negative reviews look back at the film and see if they’ve changed their outlook on the film or if it has stayed primarily the same .

among his other minor accomplishments in'' into the night,'' mr. landis demonstrates that a director takes a certain risk when he includes scenes from other films in his own. in one sequence he includes clips from'' abbott and costello meet frankenstein,'' which may not be as pretty as'' into the night'' but it does sound funnier .

into the night
( 1985) wears us out, worrying about the central character ed (jeff goldblum) and his lack of sleep. but at the same time, the film provides some great entertainment as ed inadvertently finds diana (michelle pfeiffer), a damsel in distress and on the run from a quartet of incompetent iranian hit men .

however, he has no money to pay for train fare home. every woman he meets seems to be into him before turning on him. and eventually, a vigilante mob wants him dead, blaming him for the neighborhood thefts perpetrated by the cameoing cheech & chong (oddly, into the night also has cameos, in the form of countless notable la filmmakers of the era) .

based on a best - selling novel by keigo higashino, yoshihiro fukagawa’s “byakuyako (into the white night) ” is a japanese mystery movie with a difference: two of its principals are only children when the murder that sets the plot in motion occurs — one, the daughter of the prime suspect, the other, the son of the victim .
i remember a time when john landis was heralded as a visionary, a director, an auteur who people were excited when a new film would be coming out by him. then something happened. most people mistakenly think the twilight zone: the movie incident / horrific accident was the nail in his film making coffin, but as we all know, that is complete bull because even though he was being sued for the situation, he followed up that film with the huge hit trading places and possibly the biggest music video of all time, michael jackson’s ‘thriller’. i’ll get into where i think he lost his step, but following ‘thriller’, he made his hitchcock inspired homage into the night, which would fit in perfectly in a double feature with martin scorsese’s underrated comedic classic after hours .
thanks. it’s not the normal comic book related type of thing i write about. so, i am glad you dug it. i randomly encountered these two movies within days of each other a couple of months ago and had been thinking about writing about them ever since. sadly, it was bb king’s death that finally kicked me into action. if i had to choose between the two, i would watch into the night just because bb king is all over the soundtrack, the entire film is just so weird, and it interesting seeing young goldblum and pfeiffer. however, if none of that holds sway then after hours is the obvious choice because it is the much better film .
when library of america published a collection of pauline kael’s film writing last year, many of kael’s admirers fondly recalled her as the first writer to elevate film criticism to literature. but that distinction actually belongs to an earlier loa author, james agee .
date night is a movie starring steve carell, tina fey, and mark wahlberg. in new york city, a case of mistaken identity turns a bored married couple' s attempt at a glamorous and romantic evening into something more thrilling and dangerous .
i remember being at a film convention where landis was giving a talk. if remember correctly he was disappointed that this movie had more or less faded from view. he said that he intended to give a rather dream - like quality to the story, the irony being that the insomniac hero is drawn ever deeper into a real - life version of a dream from which he struggles to wake up as the events shade into nightmare .
jackson added, “night’s still around. bruce is still around. i’m still around. and i’d love to break out of the asylum. ”
a little bit of'' into the night'' is funny, a lot of it is grotesque and all of it has the insidey manner of a movie made not for the rest of us but for moviemakers on the bel air circuit who watch each other' s films in their own screening rooms. it may say something about the priorities of'' into the night'' that its production notes carry more biographical material about deborah nadoolman, who designed the'' red napa calf jacket'' miss pfeiffer wears much of the time, than about ron koslow, who wrote the screenplay. the screenplay is not great but it' s longer than the jacket .

in the case of into the night, it’s definitely a “ wrong place at the wrong time” comedy. it takes place mostly over one very long night as ed is drawn into a convoluted plot involving drug mules and wealthy middle - eastern princes. with diane by his side, he encounters various facets of the la nightlife, such as 24 / 7 diners, elvis impersonators, nighttime shoots for hollywood movies, and raging parties at glitzy hotels. david bowie even shows up as a delightfully menacing antagonist, catching me so off guard i said aloud, “holy shit! david bowie’s in this? ”
this is pretty much the beginning of john landis' s'' into the night,'' a supposedly light - hearted caper comedy in which throats are slit, chests are stabbed, stomachs are shot, and artificial blood flows like beer at a fraternity house homecoming weekend. the movie opens today at the new york twin theater .

after hours is probably the better movie on a technical and plot construction level, but into the night is ultimately the one i enjoyed more. after all, it’s not every day you turn on a random old movie that begins with an opening line that seems to speak directly to your situation. thankfully, my insomnia has passed. sadly, it did not lead me into a wacky adventure in which i got the girl, fought the mob, and met david bowie. i’m the poorer for it .

a vote has already been held among the 16 members of sandra’s work team, but her boss agrees to a second ballot. this gives sandra a weekend — two days and one night, as the film’s title says — to persuade a majority of her colleagues to make a painful sacrifice on her behalf .
thanks very much for that – i think landis mostly achieves this, especially in the night sequences early on, like the encounters with bowie, which don’t really feel real .
when i first heard that bb king had died, at the grand old age of 89 and much too soon, the first thing i did was re - watch into the night – not just because i’m a movie nut but because, at age 16, this was when i first heard his music and i was of course knocked out by it. his playing is an integral part to this film, one certainly adorned with more than its fair share of stars .
the ballad of narayama
is a japanese film of great beauty and elegant artifice, telling a story of startling cruelty. what a space it opens…
another tagline: ed okin used to have trouble sleeping. then, one night, he met diana. now, ed’s having trouble staying alive .
that’s just a tip of the iceberg to this wild and crazy film and one that received plenty of negative feedback, one of my favorites coming from roger ebert himself commenting on the endless parade of landis’ friends who make cameo appearances (like he does as well), calling it ‘cinema auto - eroticism’. while that is a bit of an in - joke from a filmmaker who loves the world of film itself (if you’ve ever seen the dozens of trailers from hell episodes john landis presents, you’ll know the man loves film in general), i don’t find it truly distracting. instead i find it endearing, a filmmaker who just wants to have a good time with his filmmaker buddies while making an interesting and funny film about one man’s journey to finally getting a good night’s sleep .
wow, been ages since i saw the wrong box – i thought it an odd film as i recall, though i remember loving the cast and the score by john barry, especially for the extended chase at the end .
by coolly switching focus to political intrigue and betrayal within the human ranks, villeneuve keeps a grip on his story and creates ballast for its departure into the realms of the visionary and supernatural. and he also prepares us for the film’s sense that language itself, freed of our usual sense of its linear form, might be more important than anyone thought. (i wonder if villeneuve has seen the 2010 documentary into eternity, by danish film - maker michael madsen, about attempts to devise a new universal language to label underground repositories of nuclear waste – labels whose warnings have to be understood by future humans whose language has evolved away from what we know now. )
i bought the region 1 dvd and i' m very happy with the picture quality. i regard this film as part of a loose trilogy of yuppie nightmare movies made around the same time .
sadly, bb king died yesterday, passing away peacefully in his sleep at the ripe old age of 89. he had been on a seemingly endless concert tour until falling ill during a show last october, subsequently canceling any remaining dates. he was the, as thr said, the “last of the southern - born blues musicians who defined modern electric blues in the 1950s and would influence scores of rock and blues guitarists. ” but back in the 80s, kings recording career had slowed down. at the time of into the night, he had not yet recorded “when loves comes to town” with u2 and made his appearance with them on the rattle & hum tour. as such, his appearance on the into the night soundtrack was quite notable, and john landis even made a 27 - minute documentary about the recording process .
elegant in its simplicity yet limitless in its scope, long day’s journey into night is the tale of an ordinary summer’s day with extraordinary consequences. drawing so heavily from the author’s personal history that it could only be produced posthumously, the story of the tyrone family and their battle to unearth—and conceal—a lifetime of secrets continues to reveal itself to audiences as one of the most profound and powerful plays ever brought to the stage .

one of the film' s final set pieces is so wonderfully staged that it reminds you what skill affleck has with the camera. next time, he should perhaps confine himself behind it .
it’s very effective where it comes in the film — all the way at the very end, after just the film’s title has been flashed on the screen. but did you toy with when to do it? it was always at the end. but there was a question whether it would be one scene from the end, like within the pocket of the movie, and then have james’ scene in the mirror? or run credits and put it at the end of the end credits? i tried all those variations but this was the best version .
random movie encounters are extremely hit and miss so it is always refreshing when you find you actually enjoy them, or at least take something positive away from them. i’m a sucker for a good soundtrack and into the night does sound interesting so i think i’ll give both of them a go when i have a little time, maybe back to back
and now this extremely long, one - set drama has been placed on film. why? among the praised plays of this century, is there one less suitable for filming? the project seems to be the work of what can be called the tv mind. one of the chief
serious
functions of television has been the adaptation of plays of merit, lopping and cramming them into fixed time and limited space, for which the carpenters expect gratitude because tv has brought something good to a vast public. ely landau and sidney lumet, producer and director of this picture, who are well known for their
good works
in television, have now brought something good to films; and in the transposition have converted a viable play with tedious stretches into a turgid film with affecting episodes .
work, for sandra and her fellow citizens of the dardenne republic, is an irreplaceable source of meaning, identity and happiness. “two days, one night” is about the erosion of all of those values, and also about the waning of solidarity in the modern economy. in the past, the quality of life that workers like sandra and manu enjoy might have been secured through collective struggle. now, the film suggests, it is maintained through individual competition among the workers themselves .
live by night' s primary takeaway is how dull it is; there are a lot of players and set - up, and what action does transpire is wholly expected .
decades after agee’s passing, the idea of film reviewing as something intellectually valuable seems thoroughly mainstream. but when agee was making his way as a journalist in the 1930s and 1940s, few editors were interested in devoting “think pieces” to something so seemingly transient as a hollywood flick. in fighting for film’s place in the pantheon of modern culture, agee was defying convention, even at the risk of stalling his career .
the library of america’s collection of agee’s work spans two volumes: agee: film writing and selected journalism and agee: let us now praise famous men, a death in the family, and shorter fiction .

john landis tries for a laid - back surrealism in his romantic thriller into the night. jeff goldblum plays an exhausted and unhappily married aerospace engineer named ed okin. he goes to la international airport to get some sleep in the parking garage. instead, a scatterbrained blonde beauty, diana (michelle pfeiffer) falls on his car, being chased by a bunch of sharpshooters. it seems that diana has smuggled six iranian jewels into the united states and a group of assassins want them back at any price. ed and diana take to the freeway, looking for a place to rest, but the chase never ends and the duo keep running from the pack of iranian zanies .
the graphic novel will be signed by the director, the writers and the artist .
also, subsidiary characters kazunari and eriko take over the film for long stretches at a time, but given that their only crime is falling under the spell of bad - faith lovers, they do not deepen the mystery, and simply diffuse the focus .

like into the night, it depicts a meek white guy with a boring job who impulsively travels to a different area of town where he meets a beguiling young woman as the precursor for a night he can’t get out of. in this case, griffin dunne plays a word processor (yes, that was a job then) who travels to manhattan’s soho district where he hits it off with gorgeous, but clearly unbalanced marcy (rosanna arquette). after their coffee shop encounter, he calls her from his home to set up a date and rushes back to soho to meet her. there, he meets her bohemian artist roommate (linda fiorentino), who puts him to work on her person - shaped paper mache model in the center of the loft. once marcy arrives, something is clearly off about her, running hot one minute, cold the next, leading dunne to work through in his head just how much work he wants to put into his chances for a one - night stand .
entertainment weekly: when did you strike upon the idea to set split in the same story universe as david dunn (bruce willis) and elijah price (samuel l. jackson) and unbreakable? m. night shyamalan: oh, it was always there. always. this character, kevin from split, was in the original script of unbreakable. the original draft of unbreakable focused on david dunn and elijah as his mentor. elijah tells him, “you’re a comic book character, go try it. ” and instead of bumping into the orange suit man, david bumps into one of kevin’s personalities and goes to save the girls. so you’d have been watching the girls side of it the whole time. that was the outline .
inevitably, these “contact” moments are where the film’s real impact and atmosphere have to be. and villeneuve doesn’t disappoint in sequences of eerie and claustrophobic strangeness – though i concede the film is most effective before the physical form of the aliens is revealed. there are also touches of comedy: ian and louise decide, for convenience’s sake, to nickname two aliens abbott and costello – maybe in homage to the linguistic misunderstanding in the duo’s famous routine about a baseball team’s positions .
every aspect of twin peaks, from its fashion sensibilities to its typeface will be forever etched into american culture until the end of time. but the most poignant element by itself will probably forever be the soundtrack written by david lynch and angelo badalementi. xiu xiu is keenly aware of this, which is why they' re releasing an entire album of covers of the twin peaks soundtrack. today, they' re premiering their cover of julee cruise' s
into the night ,
originally a dreamy piece of music that brought to mind the feeling of laura palmer' s spirit watching over the sleepy town. now, jamie stewart and co. have added a different kind of sadness and longing into the music. stewart' s inflection is pained and haunted, in tandem with a line of chaotic guitars that creates a unique kind of sorrow, fear, and beauty in the track that wasn' t there before .
and that raises the question: what’s next? will there finally be a sequel to unbreakable? in ew’s 2015 oral history of that film, the follow - up fantasies were discussed with aplomb by shyamalan and jackson .
following the film every step of the way, though, is bb king’s instantly recognizable guitar licks, punctuating the quieter moments and underscoring transitional scenes. in addition to performing the title song, bb king also performed “my lucille” and “in the midnight hour” for the soundtrack, although all of the songs were composed by ira newborn .
screenplay by fukagawa, shingo irie and akari yamamoto may reward those who persevere, but ultimately, the resolution feels empty, and the film is undone by its clash of storytelling styles, flawed perfs from the younger thesps and overlong running time .
ben affleck writes, produces, and stars in this adaptation of dennis lehane' s sprawling crime novel centering on the prodigal son of a prominent police chief, and his gradual descent into the criminal underworld. ~ jason buchanan, rovi
no baby can be as dead sexy as pfeiffer in this film / 1983 - 4. “i’m not as young as i look. ” that’s ok, even though she was .
after watching both i have to say into the night is my favourite of the two, maybe i’m just a sucker for traditional narrative as well! after hours was intriguing but i found dunne’s exasperation exhausting, the bizarre circumstances too ludicrous to fathom and the loft scenes a little too surreal for my liking, almost like a bad trip. i suppose in that sense, technically after hours is better but i still prefer watching a young sleep deprived goldblum bumble around l. a .
charles laughton' s
the night of the hunter” (1955) is one of the greatest of all american films, but has never received the attention it deserves because of its lack of the proper trappings. many “great movies” are by great directors, but laughton directed only this one film, which was a critical and commercial failure long overshadowed by his acting career. many great movies use actors who come draped in respectability and prestige, but robert mitchum has always been a raffish outsider. and many great movies are realistic, but “night of the hunter” is an expressionistic oddity, telling its chilling story through visual fantasy. people don' t know how to categorize it, so they leave it off their lists .
it is an ambitious period piece, clearly intended to be affleck' s once upon a time in america... yet somehow, the pacing feels off, the characters seem bland, and live by night never quite lives up to the sum of its parts .
and that begins what leighton grist once described as the “yuppie nightmare cycle” sub - genre, a president reagan - era combination of screwball comedy with film noir. it always involves a white yuppie being pulled into a world unknown to them, usually a white male by a mysterious white female. examples include blue velvet (1986), something wild (‘86) and the bruce willis / kim basinger comedy blind date (’87) .
m. night shyamalan' s compelling fantasy film unbreakable was a bit ahead of its time in 2000. it focused on the superhero origin story of bruce willis' david dunn and the birth of samuel l. jackson' s fragile supervillain elijah price, aka mr. glass, creating its own little super - world. the marvel cinematic universe was still eight years away from engulfing the world in cowls and capes, and the comic book world was still emerging from a long period of contraction after the explosion of interest in the mid -' 90s .
charles laughton showed here that he had an original eye, and a taste for material that stretched the conventions of the movies. it is risky to combine horror and humor, and foolhardy to approach them through expressionism. for his first film, laughton made a film like no other before or since, and with such confidence it seemed to draw on a lifetime of work. critics were baffled by it, the public rejected it, and the studio had a much more expensive mitchum picture (“not as a stranger”) it wanted to promote instead. but nobody who has seen
the night of the hunter” has forgotten it, or mitchum' s voice coiling down those basement stairs :
chillll... dren? ”
unlike most examples of the neo - noir genre from that decade – and here i’m thinking especially of against all odds, jagged edge, body heat, no way out, sharky’s machine, doa – which all have very strong ties to the genre’s prototypes of the 1940s, into the night is truly sui generis. if anything what it demonstrates is a genuine screwball sensibility, one that belongs perhaps to the 30s rather than the 40s. i have always felt that the two genres have a lot more in common that one night think and here we don’t have a jazzy score to evoke smoke - filled rooms and femme fatales. instead this is a tale of urban paranoia laced with jet black comedy in which 80s acquisitiveness and the new international reality of reaganomics are matched against hollywood fakery and found wanting .
mitchum is uncannily right for the role, with his long face, his gravel voice, and the silky tones of a snake - oil salesman. and shelly winters, all jitters and repressed sexual hysteria, is somehow convincing as she falls so prematurely into, and out of, his arms. the supporting actors are like a chattering gallery of norman rockwell archetypes, their lives centered on bake sales, soda fountains and gossip. the children, especially the little girl, look more odd than lovable, which helps the film move away from realism and into stylized nightmare. and lillian gish and stanley cortez quite deliberately, i think, composed that great shot of her which looks like nothing so much as whistler' s mother holding a shotgun .
of course, into the night is more or less a screwball comedy about a mismatched pair falling in love while enduring extreme circumstances, making it the more traditional narrative, while after hours is about a yuppie who heads to soho to get laid but instead gets chased by an angry mob. the differing tones of the two films perfectly reflect the differing sensibilities of their directors. john landis looked at nocturnal los angeles as a potentially perilous, but also undeniably exciting place of adventure while the latter gazed at new york and saw imminent danger and deadly misunderstandings.
