"Sometimes you just gotta say what the fuck, make a move!"
If you’ve ever thought to yourself “I wonder what a Michael Mann directed teen comedy would look like?” Then you needn't look further. For all intents and purposes Paul Brickman’s “Risky Business” is a Michael Mann inspired film. Complete with atmospheric shots of neon-lit cityscapes, dark empty back-alleys, a Tangerine Dream score, a brooding lead man caught between…
I planed on writing something for every "Alien" film but for this turd I just can't be arsed to put any work in so I'm shooting from the hip and writing my thoughts down as I watch the movie. Apologies in advanced for any grammatical mistakes.
Five minutes in and the opening was surprisingly solid, it gives you a false sense of security that what you're going to watch might actually be good. The fathers arm melting off was pretty…
