The very popular move review of the 1959 Mexican Christmas classic SANTA CLAUS by The One Eyed Cats' Steve Nolte is back by popular demand:

 

This time THE ONE EYED CATS' Steve Nolte reviews the 1959 Mexican classic SANTA CLAUS:

“Before viewing SANTA CLAUS (1959), you have to ask yourself, would you prefer to see a Holiday movie or a Christmas movie? If you chose a Christmas movie then this movie may be for you. It was made in Good Ole Mexico, and Santa is played by The Great Jose Elias Moreno. I watched the English dubbed version without subtitles, so I didn't have to read the whole movie. That would certainly have ruined any Christmas favorite.

SANTA CLAUS is really trippy. Like something out of the psychedelic era. There’s lots of color, and its pretty high tech for a Mexican movie made in 1959.

The story starts with a narrator, who my wife found to sound like Rod Sterling of Twilight Zone. I did not find the same comparison, but I did find the narration to be really funny at times (“Hurry Mr. Merlin, this is no time to play horsey!”). Santa has this workshop above the Earth in a cloud type thing, and there are children all around the world to assist him. Santa plays a mean pipe organ and dials whatever region or country he wants and the children sing. Personally I found that the kids from Japan needed better vocal coaching.

The main body of the movie is Satan. Yes Satan! Satan is tired of Santa ruining things for him with peace and goodwill on Earth and sends one of his minions, called Pitch, to Earth to put an end to Santa’s meddling. Helping Santa is Merlin the Magician. This is one of the trippiest parts of the movie. I was looking for Black Sabbath or Pink Floyd to pop out and start jamming! Santa uses Magic dust to put Children to sleep, and a magic flower that makes him disappear. I said it was trippy!

Pitch tries to tempt children to do bad things. One in particular is a little girl named Lupita. Pitch tries to convince her that because she is poor she should steal a doll vs. having Santa bring it to her. Ultimately, Lupita makes the right decision and resists temptation. In an indirect way the movie points out to children that if you are naughty you'll go to hell. The film makers also point out in the tale that the real meaning of Christmas is the birth of Christ vs. kids getting presents. I was kinda hoping to see a better show down between The Devil & Santa though.

I grew up with Rankin & Bass classics such as "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", and "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer". Now I can add this treasure to the collection. My rating for SANTA CLAUS (1959): Two & half stars out of four. “

STEVE'S MUSIC AND MOVIE MEMORIES!

This time THE ONE EYED CATS' Steve Nolte reviews the 1985 flick THE NEW KIDS!




Have you ever found yourself channel surfing and come across a B horror movie and said to yourself “how bad can this be?” and the movie turns out to be a great film? This is not that film, but there is a great moral to the story.

THE NEW KIDS stars Lori Loughlin (Remember Full House and Olsen Twins?) and James Spader (NBC Blacklist) and Eric Stolz (You know The Mask kid). It was directed by Sean Cunningham. Cunningham directed The Original Friday The 13^th.

The story involves a teenage brother and sister, Abby and Loren, (Yeah, I know, nice job with those names parents) whose parents get killed in fiery car crash. Their uncle from Florida decides to take them in, but they will need to move to Florida. Once there, it turns out that the uncle owns a gas station and the worst mini amusement park in Florida.

The brother and sister work for their uncle and attend local high school. Meeting new people and friends is hard, but they manage. Then they somehow piss off James Spader’s character. Spader is a punk who weighs about 120 lbs. wet in cement.

 

Don’t get me wrong, James Spader is a fine actor. He does play a good villain. Just not in this movie.

 

It turns out that James Spader’s character Dutra (I feel like I’m writing about another Godzilla movie with a monster with that name) is some kind of local pusher. For some reason he wants the brother and sister duo out of the way. Trouble escalates when Dutra’s Gang has a showdown with brother sister duo, a few of their pals, and the uncle. Needless to say there are some deaths and good old fashioned beatings.

 

 

SPOILER ALERT! We all know how it ends. Dutra’s punk younger brother is left to take his brother’s place.

 

The moral to this story is simple: It does not take a smart man to know that no good can come from moving to Florida. There's always some shady James Spader type character down there.

 

This leads me to a possible new segment here on the Femme Fatale Records Blog: It does not take a smart man to know.

 

In addition to Movie and Music Memories, I can share wisdom like: It does not take a smart man to know that Hormel Chili, chocolate ice cream and a long drive are not a good combination.

 

I had fun watching THE NEW KIDS and rate it a four out of five.

The Gravy Fries are soo good that when it comes to picking between Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef Sandwich and their Gravy Fries I do what any connoisseur of quality roast beef would do: I ORDER BOTH!

 

On my scale of one to five forks I give Nick’s Old Original Roast Beef’s Gravy Fries my highest rating:

FIVE FORKS!
