Three Into One

RED LINE-2013-Survivors of a terrorist attack on a subway in LA try to find a way to escape but mostly fight with each other, emote personal stories and torture a guy the others think is a terrorist. It turns out one of them is. But who? (As in “who cares?”) It was directed by Robert Kirbyson and the only actor I really knew in the cast was John Billinsley.

PERFECT CREATURE-2006-This horror film about a human cop and a vampire cop teaming up to fight vampires in New Zealand. Dougray Scott (who almost played Wolverine in the original X-Men movie) is the vampire fuzz. It sucks..really...not good...

THE COOL ONES-1967-Unhip musical comedy about an eccentric English millionaire Tony Crumb (Roddy McDowell) who promotes a young female singer (Debbie Watson) and a washed up rock and roller(Gil Petersen). Phil Harris, Nita Talbot, Mrs. Miller and Glen Campbell are also in it as well bands like The Leaves and The Bantams. It's very dumb. Busy TV director Gene Nelson (also an actor) made this a couple of years after directing Elvis in HARUM SCARUM.

Mr. Baker

 

BEWARE OF MR. BAKER-This is a crazy but interesting documentary about rock drummer Ginger Baker told mainly by him while living in South Africa in deteriorating health having lost none of the shit ass attitude that made him so notorious. It's pretty thorough starting with his Jazz beginnings with Graham Bond to Cream, Blind Faith, Air Force, Masters of Reality, etc. It details his marriages, health and drug problems, time in Nigerian, anger issues and features interviews with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, John Lydon, and family members. Funny how Bruce can muster up some kind words for his musical partner/adversary but Baker's own son can't. The present day interviews with him are pretty funny/insane but considering how it ends I have a hard time believing most of it isn't a put on especially when he attacks the director Jay Bulger.
