Colors really pop here, they look gorgeous, while black levels are deep and strong throughout.
ALL AMERICAN MURDER MOVIE 1080P
Presented here in AVC encoded 1080p high definition and framed at 1.85.1 widescreen taking up 27.8Gbs of space on the 50GB disc, there’s little to complain about. He’s reason enough for this to have a cult following.Īll-American Murder has been transferred from the original 35mm negative with a new 2k scan and it looks excellent. Keep your eyes peeled for gratuitous refrigerator poster placement featuring Oklahoma band Jimmy Swat! Really though, watch this for Walken. The score is fine, the cinematography is good and the editing is well done. This wasn’t made with a huge budget but Williams and company don’t overshoot.
ALL AMERICAN MURDER MOVIE MOVIE
That weird screen presence that he takes to his best roles is definitely a big part of what makes this film as fun to watch as it is, the guy seems, at times, like he’s from another planet and it only helps this movie in the long run. But it’s Walken who steals every damn scene that he’s in here. Bissett is gorgeous, and we really don’t know what she sees in him. Schlatter is quirky and likeable, a rascal of sorts. All of that, dear reader, adds up to a really fun way to kill an hour and a half with a movie. That didn’t happen (and one is left wondering what might have been), and while Potsie might not be a director on the same level as the man who gave us The Devils, he delivers a seriously entertaining mix of thriller tropes, slasher-inspired set pieces, wonky dialogue and Walken in one of his most Walken-esque roles. As his race against time starts to come to a close, it looks more and more like he might be brought up on charges for a murder that he didn't commit.ĭirected by Anson Williams (yup – this movie was directed by Potsie, in fact it was his feature film directorial debut!) and released in 1991, All-American Murder was originally meant to be directed by none other than Ken Russell. Was it Tally's best friend Wendy (Amy Moore Davis), the weird custodian who couldn't keep his eyes off of Tally or maybe the Dean's horny but potentially very jealous wife? As the bodies start to pile up, things look increasingly worse for Artie. As Artie goes about using the little time he has left to figure out 'whodunnit' we, and he, analyze a few bizarre clues (including a VHS tape on questionable origins). The cops figure Artie has to be the killer, but Decker isn't quite so sure and decides to give him twenty-four hours to figure out who Tally's real killer was. Decker (Christopher Walken) starts questioning him. Those near the crime scene spot Artie and automatically assume that the new kid on campus had something to do with it and before you know it, he's been pulled down to the police station where a detective named P.J. They go out again the next night but before the date can happen, Artie sees Tally fall from her balcony, her body clearly on fire.
Tally isn't the type of girl to hop into bed with any guy who comes along, after all. The date goes well and while Artie is lucky enough to win a smooch, that's as far as it goes. It takes a bit of time but he eventually finds the stones to talk to her and although she's a good girl and he's a bad boy, she does agree to give him a shot. However, when Artie meets the lovely and intelligent Tally Fuller (Josie Bissett), he is instantly smitten. Artie, however, is a trouble maker and twenty-four-hours later he's boinked the Dean's wife (not quite the conquest you'd assume as apparently she gets around). Cast: Christopher Walken, Charlie Schlatter, Josie Bissett, Joanna Cassidy, Richard KindĪrtie Logan (Charlie Schlatter) is arrested for burning down his dorm room and shipped off to Fairfield University where his father states in no uncertain terms that this is his last chance to make something out of himself on the old man's dime.
