For over a decade now John Callahan the irreverent anti-PC genius of a cartoonist has been shocking the world with the wickedest humor ever produced on four wheels. This paraplegic cartoonist is out to prove that in his world nothing is sacred nothing is taboo and nothing is funnier than life itself. Callahan brings his controversial style to the television screen with the animated series Quads! which centers around the adventures of sex-crazed alcoholic quadriplegic Reilly O'Reilly. Crippled after being run over by a speeding millionaire Reilly's settlement earns him a mansion which he uses as a home base for his personal circle of handicapped ne'er-do-wells: his hippie girlfriend Franny gay physical therapist Spalding drunk bartender Griz blind musician Fontaine hook-armed masseuse Lefty and disembodied head Blazer. Together the morally challenged self-proclaimed Magnificent Severed engage in outrageous get-rich schemes involving everything from the Special Olympics to omelet sightings of the Virgin Mary.
This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher's films, it's conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons and, granted, there's some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. In Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step further as a memorable bully vampire who leads a tribe of teenage vampires on their nocturnal spree of bloodsucking havoc. Jason Patric plays the new guy in town, who quickly attracts a lovely girlfriend (Jami Gertz), only to find that she might be recruiting him into the vampire fold. The movie gets sillier as it goes along, and resorts to a routine action-movie showdown, but it's a visual knockout (featuring great cinematography by Michael Chapman) and boasts a cast that's eminently able (pardon the pun) to sink their teeth into the best parts of an uneven screenplay. --Jeff Shannon

This is an incredible DVD filmed in front of an invited audience at the sound image studio in North Hollywood. Hughes is joined by Red Hot Chilli Peppers drummer Chad Smith and long time band member JJ Marsh (guitars) Ed Roth (keyboards) and George Nastos (guitars). Kevin Dubrow (Quiet Riot) and Alex Ligertwood (Santana) contribute backing vocals. The repertoire is balanced between latter day choices and trusted crowd pleasers. This includes selections from trapeze ('medusa' and 'sea full') Hughes / Thrall ('first step of love' and 'coast to coast') and of course Deep Purple ('mistreated' 'getting tighter' and 'you keep on moving'). This is an essential classic rock document from the man dubbed as 'The Voice Of Rock'.
