	CrAiGeR's SO BAD, THEY'RE GOOD
		The film gleefully details the life of a retired soldier that is a personal one man army (c'mon, what cinematic retired army dude is not a one man army?) that tries to rescue his young daughter from a vicious dictator.
		For the not so wise, this film details the future (the 1990's, to be exact) where man has "enslaved" apes to be their docile and controlled servants until, of course, one super intelligent, savvy, and verbally emoting simian leads an ape resistance against the humans.
		The film plays like one of those horrendously bogus educational videos we were forced to sit through in school with virtues and ideals that were one-sided and biased to the point of inspiring incredibly laughter and skepticism.

	Bad Boys (1983 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bad Boys is a 1983 juvenile delinquent melodrama set primarily in a tough reform school for boys.
		However, as the film makes clear, this "juvenile correction facility" is not a place where troubled kids are reformed, but rather a place where they grow tougher, angrier, and more prepared for a life of adult crime.
		Given his disposition at the beginning of the film, it is hard to imagine that Mick could be a particularly sympathetic character, but Penn's performance is generally regarded as so forceful in its naturalism that the audience sides with him.

		This grim and exquisite film explores the honor in death and the death of honor venerated by the 17th-century samurai.
		In this film, a father feels he is keeping his daughter from marriage; when she is erroneously told that her father is thinking of re-marrying, she agrees to an offer.
		Mizoguchi's poetic film is set in feudal, war-ravaged, 16th-century Japan and focuses on the opposite fortunes of two peasants who abandon their families to accumulate wealth and prestige and find emptiness and despair.

		As for Bad Brains themselves, they continued to record and tour in varying lineups led by guitarist Dr. Know into the late '90s yet never managed to break out of their cult status.
		Bad Brains quickly became one of the most popular punk bands on the East Coast, particularly in their hometown of Washington, D.C. Their live performances were legendary, but their recordings were difficult to find.
		In addition to the Bad Brains tape, the group released a handful of other EPs in 1982, finally moving to PVC for 1983's full-length debut, Rock for Light, which was produced by Ric Ocasek.

	George Orwell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orwell returned from Europe in spring 1945, shortly after his wife died during an operation (they had recently adopted a baby boy, Richard Horatio Blair, who was born in May 1944).
		He wrote much of the novel while living in a remote farmhouse on the island of Jura, off the coast of Scotland, to which he moved in 1946 despite increasingly bad health.
		In 1949, Orwell was approached by a friend, Celia Kirwan, who had just started working for a Foreign Office unit, the Information Research Department, which had been set up by the Labour government to publish pro-democratic and anti-communist propaganda.

	Bad Boys Review
		Whereas the 1995 Michael Bay production of Bad Boys may be what immediately comes to the minds of most moviegoers upon hearing that title, there was first a hard-hitting drama of the same name released in 1983.
		Bad Boys is a dark film that doesn't shy away from depicting the struggle many youths experience when they take a walk down the wrong side of the legal street.
		The only chink in Bad Boys' armor when it comes to the acting was Esai Morales – while he didn't do a bad job, he just didn't have the screen presence necessary to prevent Sean Penn from stealing the scenes they shared.

	Bad Boys
		Bad Boys is lean, mean, and (as former film critic Sheila Benson noted of Michael Mann's debut Thief) having the aesthetic blunt force of a 2x4 across the solar plexus.
		Mick's been reared to avenge as a rudiment of manhood regardless of the circumstances, and the point of the film is that a criminal is capable of discerning what's truly right and wrong, that dissipating a vengeful impulse is possible given that he or she is privy to acknowledging the long-range and moral consequences.
		Bad Boys may not be everyone's cup of tea, but its unsparingness makes for quite a welcome alternative when so many films gloss over the hardness of their material.

		These films that pander to the worst instincts of youth are counterbalanced byfilms that are intelligent, provocative, free-spirited, socially dynamic, orentertaining.
		Pure film is not encumbered by the need to translate one medium toanother; so these films have had the benefit of being planned only as movies.
		This film is set in a suburban Chicago high school library on aSaturday morning where five students gather to serve a detention under thesupervision of a vice-principal.

	Movie Review - Bad Boys (1983) - eFilmCritic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The first half of Bad Boys is supremely interesting, brilliantly shot and conceived, and offers a good chance for lead actor Sean Penn to show off his intense-stare acting chops.
		To these bad boys, nothing is more important than the next big score, nothing is more important than avenging the death of a close friend or family member, and nothing is more important than asserting requisite machismo amongst other toughs.
		Bad Boys stretches things at least 15 minutes too long, and most of those 15 minutes could have been nicely chopped from the needlessly logy second half.

		"Bad Boys" tells the story of some tough Chicago street gang kids who get in a lot of trouble, get sent to a juvenile correctional institution and get in a lot more trouble once they're inside.
		Following the tradition governing such movies, the story eventually comes to a moral decision at which a bad boy has to decide whether to become a good man -- and that's too bad, because until the movie turns predictable, it is very, very good.
		The acting, the direction and the sense of place in "Bad Boys" is so strong that the movie deserves more than an obligatory right scene for its conclusion.

	Zap2it.com - Movie review - Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat
		Bad boys Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce both lived their lives on stage, for better or worse, and became legends for it.
		Minus this last fourth of the film, however, his set drags as he advocates that parents instill fear into their children in infancy (beginning beatings early) and promotes racial equality - as long as you're not of Middle Eastern descent and sharing an airplane with him.
		As if this weren't aggrandizing enough, Lawrence ends the film with a screen-high publicity shot of himself, complete with a scrolling signature, as he blows a kiss to his biggest fan: himself.

	thefoxonline.com: Event Guide Movie reviews, production notes, and more! - "Bad Boys II"
		At the beginning of Bad Boys II, Marcus Burnett (Lawrence) is coping with the normal pressures of family life: His teenage kids, a mortgage and concerns about his own future, worries that are fueled by the reckless antics of his longtime partner Mike Lowrey (Smith), who never seems to grow up or settle down.
		Although Bad Boys II is fiction, many of the circumstances detailed in the script, even some of the funnier moments, are inspired by stories from actual case files.
		One of the film's more intricate car chases through the streets of a small pueblo were shot in a fictitious town fabricated by the talented team of builders in the construction department.

		But while Hytner has filmed Bennett's text and the vivid performances of his cast with appropriate fidelity, he has failed to concoct a cinematic metier equal to the brio of the writing and acting.
		The boys are a scrambled lot: the swoony, lyrical Posner (Samuel Barnett), the slick lothario Dakin (Dominic Cooper), the religiously minded jock Scripps (Jamie Parker), the blunt, working class Rudge (Russell Tovey) and so on.
		But Hytner films it in a dull, gauzy light and slaps a New Wave soundtrack onto it in a clumsy effort to evoke the period.

	The Outsiders
		The film revolves around the conflicts of the two groups in town, the "greasers", poor kids from dysfunctional families with limited prospects, and the "socs" (pronounced with a soft "C" as in society), affluent kids from the nice part of town who want to control things and keep the "greasers" in line.
		This brief liaison results in trouble later for the two boys, when a car full of socs track them down later in a park for "messing with their women." Outnumbered and overpowered by the socs, Ponyboy is grabbed, beaten, and dunked in a wading pond by them while Johnny is knocked down to the ground.
		The remainder of the film shows how the boys come to grip with their futile situations, face down the "socs" in the inevitable rumble, and deal with the tragedies that life as a "greaser" entails.

		Before he took on the role of Mick O’Brien in Bad Boys, Sean Penn was best known for his portrayal of a stoned-surfie in the 1982 classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
		Bad Boys has been presented at the widescreen aspect ratio of 1.75:1 and is 16:9 enhanced.
		This film is actually quite dark (both figuratively and literally) and there are times when fl tends to overpower the image a little too much for my liking.

	OnWisconsin Live Movies: Bad Boys II
		There had been no public clamoring for a sequel, but the star-driven, effects-fueled "Bad Boys II" has been built at a cost at least five times the first, and the generic title is the only subtle thing about it.
		Director Bay has returned to the film that launched his career, and does it again at twice the speed but with half the prudence.
		And that is "Bad Boys II" in a greasy nutshell: sensory overload without the flavor.

	CBC.ca - Arts - Film - Hey, Headmaster
		In Thatcher’s England in 1983, a group of smart boys — and one jug-eared jock — from a scruffy Yorkshire high school are candidates for “Oxbridge,” that academic Holy Grail portmanteau of Oxford and Cambridge.
		Their pedagogical yin-yang comes together when the boys sit in a circle with both teachers to discuss, if that’s the right word, the Holocaust. Hector and his minions assert that this genocide is unrepresentable/unfathomable while Irwin nudges the boys to see it as precedented/predictable, and the ensuing debate is smart, witty, literate and a little dangerous.
		To the boys, Hector is beloved, but also a joke (isn’t that, sadly, how teenagers see their favourite teachers?): an obese Humpty Dumpty so overflowing with a contradictory mix of wisdom and unfulfilled longing that when he opens his mouth, it often sounds like white noise.

		The film was heavily influenced by Peter’s love of Ray Harryhausen movies and featured two stop motion special effects sequences, which Peter staged himself; building the models and performing the stop motion.
		On 27th October 1983 we had out first day of filming in Makara Beach, a small seaside town that, along with Peter’s hometown Pukerua Bay, was used to portray Kaihoro.

		In fact, her mere presence in a film is usually a pretty good indicator that, good or bad, it should at least be reasonably interesting.
		In the film, supposedly based on a true story that was later recounted in a best-seller by Frank DeFelitta, she plays an ordinary, middle-class single mother who finds herself on the receiving end of a series of brutal sexual assaults that appear to be caused by some kind of unseen apparition.
		Watching this film again, especially in the wake of such horrible horrors as the recent remakes of “The Amityville Horror” and “House of Wax,” is a timely reminder that great acting can sometimes be found in the most unlikely of places.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: The Outsiders (xhtml)
		It's unfortunate that Francis Ford Coppola's "The Outsiders" opens on the same day as "Bad Boys." That makes the contrast all the more dramatic between the high-energy realism of "Bad Boys" and Coppola's stylized, over-careful, deadening approach to somewhat similar material.
		The kids in "Bad Boys" are hardened 1980s street criminals, while the kids in "The Outsiders" are 1950s Nebraska greasers, living in a time when even their toughness belongs to a more romantic tradition.
		But even so, those are real kids in "Bad Boys," while Coppola's teenagers seem trapped inside too many layers of storytelling.

		For reasons that are hard to explain, I had an innate sense that this film was going to be good — very good, in fact — so I avoided reading anything about it beforehand.
		For you to be at a similar advantage, stop reading this review now, go and see the film (and don't talk to anyone who's seen it before you do), then come back and finish reading from where you left off.
		In Memento, this rarely attempted cinematic technique seems less like a plot device and more an integral part of the film's framework, working superbly in context given the medical condition of its lead — Leonard is always backtracking, checking his notes, trying to remember things; it's the perfect combination of substance and style.
