Shoot the DVD Player #11: The Sacrament / Frost/Nixon / The Boy Who Could FlyDescription
This week's sources of fun and frivolity: [The Sacrament, 2013, Ti West] Does found-footage/mockumentary horror have a future? Perhaps not if Ti West's uninspiring Jonestown riff is anything to go by. Luckily, Anna spices things up by telling us about the time she lead a crazed cult dedicated to the worship of a discarded mandarin peal resembling former High Court justice Michael Kirby. [Frost/Nixon, Ron Howard, 2008] Richie Cunningham offers the story of David Frost, a kind of successful, 1970s version of Alan Partridge, and his landmark interviews with disgraced former President and wily old bastard Richard M. Nixon. [The Boy Who Could Fly, 1986, Nick Castle] Castle played Michael Myers in the original Halloween, but presumably he took off the mask to direct this (forgotten?) family classic. John Carpenter makes a cameo appearance in a music video, while Jason Priestly is also in it as someone called Gary, although we didn't spot him. The Boy Who Could Fly's supposed continuity with The Last Starfighter can be explored here. It'll blow your mind!
