"Vamos a La Playa" by Righeira - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

Righeira is Stefano Righi and Stefano Rita

Their 1983 self-titled LP was an electronic dance project produced by La Bionda - the big hit, "Vamos a La Playa" was an instant hit in clubs. The translation "We Go To The Beach" was a perfect opportunity for me to use one of the 1960's teen romp films - "Beach Blanket Bingo" was the one!

Since "Vamos a La Playa" has such a festive tone many of the dancers and excitement of these films were the exact element for the tone. The film was shot at Leo Carrillo State Beach in Malibu, California

The film stars Frankie Avalon, Annette Funicello, Deborah Walley, Harvey Lembeck, John Ashley, Jody McCrea and Linda Evans. It was directed by William Asher (of television's "Bewitched")

60‘s Thriller: “Picture Mommy Dead” (1966) with Zsa Zsa Gabor - Part 9 (Finale)

“Picture Mommy Dead” (1966) with Zsa Zsa Gabor - Part 9 (Finale)

“The worms crawl in. The worms crawl out. In your stomach and out your mouth…” - gross!!!

This was a thriller that I must have seen many times over and over on television. It must have been the Zsa Zsa Gabor in her cameo - at the time I could not tell Zsa Zsa from Eva and would think this was Mrs. Douglas from Green Acres (one of my favorite shows as a kid).

It is quite gothic in its own sense and has a fabulous story lien that I am sure would make a better psychological remake today. I do not think they knew enough about mental illness back then to make it believable or effective.

Directed by Bert I. Gordon

Starring Don Ameche, Martha Hyer, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Susan Gordon, Maxwell Reed and Wendell Corey

IMDB Synopsis:
Susan Gordon is released from an asylum where she's been confined to after the shock suffered over the fiery death of her mother. Her father has a new wife, who has only married him for the money left to him by Zsa Zsa. Susan is still haunted by her mother's memory, and her step-mother is conspiring with her lover, Maxwell Reed, to get the troubled girl to lead them to Zsa Zsa's missing diamond necklace.

Fantasy and Monsters: “Godzilla’s Revenge” (1970) Part 7

“Godzilla’s Revenge” (1970) Part 7

Directed by Ishirô Honda

A moment of fun and silly fantasy - with Godzilla’s son (who looks more scary - he has no holes in his nostrils) and his adventure to help a small tormented child by his peers. Of course there is an important lesson to be learned here…and also that Godzilla is not such a bad monster after all. With a kid like that?

Review from IMDB:

"Godzilla's Revenge" is a children's movie, no doubt about that. There's no "revenge" to it. The story revolves around a child in shorts (thankfully not named Kenny) who endures torment and abuse from his schoolmates. Since the idea of going postal hadn't been invented yet, Ichiro spends his afterschool hours dreaming of Monster Island and Godzilla's son Minya. Running on the same track in the direction of this plot are two bank robbers.

Much like "Casino Royale" was James Bond without Sean Connery, "Revenge" is Godzilla, sort of. One might look at it as a satire or spoof. It shows Godzilla; he fights and yells, but he isn't laying waste to anyplace in Japan, and *shudder* he's a dad. This is not the Godzilla I grew to love. That having been said, Godzilla does impart wisdom to his son Minya, and by extension to our movie's child.

The idea of fighting one's own battles is important, as well as having the courage to stand up for yourself and your convictions. The lessons taught by Godzilla (I can't believe I'm writing this) are ones needed by children, regardless of their circumstances. It's done in a way that is subtle and fun, yet effective.

On the adult level, however, I'm afraid that you're simply going to have to turn your brain off for this one. I could've sworn one of the bank robbers was Joe Pesci -- but I could be wrong. They are simply too buffoonish to be believed, but it is necessary to make them this way so that the ending can play out as it does. However, there is enough in them to make them more than two-dimensional (i.e., the one robber's drinking problem). It's "Home Alone" without Macauley Caulkin -- and that's a good thing.

Sterno says show "Godzilla's Revenge" to the children in your life.

"Catch Me (I'm Falling In Love)" by Marsha Raven - Disco Video Mix by Glenn Rivera

High energy classic "Catch Me (I'm Falling In Love)" is given the Disco Video Mix treatment along with one of my all-time favorite films, Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo".

Marsha Raven had a hit in 1982 with "I Like Plastic" - a bit of novelty track but maintained a wonderful feel with a production by Pierre Tubbs. In 1983, Marsha worked with Ian Anthony Stephens on Passion Records in the UK and began a series of great disco/high energy tracks.

The song is known by its dramatic drum rolls and high-end chorus - it works perfected with the drama and theme of the 1958 psychological thriller starring James Stewart and Kim Novak.

This idea came to me easily, as I am a big cinema fan and Hitchcock being a big influence on my film making interest as a child.
