Masters of the Universe

This was the last newspaper movie ad I collected. After ten years of movie ad collecting I think my heart had gone out of it by 1987. Either that or I traumatised myself by cutting out an ad for a Dolph Lundgren movie. But I never lost my love of science fiction (I kept my clippings after all), I just became less obsessed with collecting stuff. At least until my twenties had played out.

Blue Velvet

A classic David Lynch film, if not THE classic David Lynch film.

From the Sun or Herald newspaper, Melbourne Australia,  March 21 1987

Robocop

One of the truly great films of the 1980s. I await with apprehension the remake due in 2013.

From either the Sun or Herald newspaper, Melbourne Australia,  September 19 1987

Angel Heart

Notorious at the time for the scene involving a naked Lisa Bonet and chicken blood. All a bit of a yawn now. Despite all the hoopla it was a great movie.

May 1987

Static

A wonderful indie film that seems to have disappeared into obscurity. I remember the scene of a bus exploding and burning to a Brian Eno ambient track. It was very powerful.

August 1987

The Time Guardian

Touted at the time as Australia's first big budget science fiction film. With Princess Leia in full 1980s outfit. Unfortunately it wasn't very good. At all.
