Review by E.C. McMullen Jr.
SLIPSTREAM
In my personal experience there are two forms of Cult Movie. One is a flawed movie that has just enough saving it that it can find a small but very appreciative audience (ERASERHEAD, PHANTASM). The second is a movie that is entirely well made in every respect, but has a story that would never appeal to a broad audience (THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, RE-ANIMATOR).
SLIPSTREAM is neither of these. It is a terribly written (Tony Kayden), terribly directed (Steven M. Lisberger: TRON), terribly edited (Terry Rawlings), and terribly produced (Gary Kurtz) movie. Though shot in English, the voices are seemingly all dubbed in, the audio sounds all piped-in, the soaring Elmer Bernstein original soundtrack (performed by The London Symphony Orchestra no less!) never matches the action or view, the cinematography (Frank Tidy) is dull, the production design (Andrew McAlpine) is derivative and so, uninspired, the pace is in pieces, and because of this, the visual effects (Brian Johnson) are cruddy, all the character performances, despite the quality of their actors, are flat. The best acting couldn't save this movie.
And yet, a whole bunch of some ones must have thought this story had wonderful potential.

STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS
Who's Zooming Who?
Oh, I Get It! STAR TREK: INTO DARKNESS is supposed to be ... a parody! You know, like SCARY MOVIE.
Well, nothing succeeds like success! And when something is surprisingly successful (like the BATMAN franchise), others who feel they have something a little less than noteworthy, want to emulate the success of others.
