The Daily Movie Wallpaper
Friday, December 25, 2009

Life can often feel like one long journey to Wally World! This feels especially true during the Holiday times as we rush to buy presents, visit family and friends, and rush to wrap up projects at work. We may not always have Christie Brinkley driving by us in a “Love Me” license plate or the Grand Canyon to quickly stand in front of, but we do have our own unique Griswold adventures to call our own.

Cold Sweat (De la part des copains) is one of the few Charles Bronson films I’ve yet to see. It comes from noted filmmaker Terence Young (Wait Until Dark and several early James Bond efforts) who also re-teamed with Bronson in The Valachi Papers and Red Sun. The reviews I’ve read for this have all been incredibly mixed with most either really like or really disliking it. However one looks at the movie I think we can all agree this is one fantastic Japanese poster for it!

There doesn’t appear to be any solid DVD releases of this but I’ll try and watch this one soon.

Brian Trenchard-Smith (official blog) is a favorite guest and filmmaker here in Austin, Texas, with many of his films from Man from Hong Kong to this one, BMX Bandits. Who would have thought in Nicole Kidman would have kick started her film career as a BMX bike wiz named Judy. Here in this Japanese poster you not only see her in the bottom right but also front in center as the main BMX-er. As for fun kid films and especially fun kids films that feature bicycles this ranks as one of the best! And even if you don’t like kid films or films featuring bicycling of any variety then you still might dig this film as it’s non-stop highly entertaining and charming. While seeing this film on VHS seems to be more common I definitely recommend seeing this one on the big screen someday to see it the way it’s meant to be experienced.
