Three metro Detroit pals — Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell — launched the famous horror franchise with the 1981 original about five Michigan State University friends whose trip to a secluded cabin turns into a gory nightmare of unleashed terror fueled by the discovery of an ancient book of the dead. While the original's script referred to...
Clint Eastwood starred in and directed this box-office success that still stands as a high point of Michigan's film incentives heyday, which stretched from about 2008 to 2011 (before the state GOP's opposition caused the program to lose steam and, eventually, be eliminated in 2015). Eastwood plays Walt Kowalski, a recently widowed, openly racist Ko...
The story of Alex Murphy, a Detroit cop who's shot to pieces by a vicious gang and put back together as an invincible cyborg, had multiple layers of meaning. Part futuristic Western and revenge fantasy a la "Dirty Harry," the violent action film took satirical swipes at Ronald Reagan's economic and foreign policies. Like "Wall Street," released the...
In 1970s Flint, Jackie Moon (Will Ferrell), the owner-coach of the hapless Flint Tropics, launches a do-or-die effort to leave the struggling American Basketball Association and land a spot in the NBA. Underdog comedy "Semi-Pro," costarring Woody Harrelson and Andre Benjamin, gave Ferrell an excuse to wear disco-funkadelic clothing, wrestle a bear ...
A rare big-screen dive into working-class America, Paul Schrader's directorial debut boasts a knockout cast — Harvey Keitel, Yaphet Kotto and comedy icon Richard Pryor, who's magnetic as a dramatic actor — and a compelling conflict. Three assembly-line workers in need of money (and sick of greedy bosses and crooked union chiefs) plan to steal the c...
The star team of Jack Nicholson (in the title role), David Mamet (the screenwriter), and Danny DeVito ( who directed and played a fictional Hoffa lieutenant) seemed to bode well for this biopic of Jimmy Hoffa, who built the Teamsters into the biggest labor union of its time and disappeared in 1975 in what remains an unsolved mystery. But the ambiti...
In November 2011, Whitney Houston described Detroit as "a great temporary home" in an email to the Free Press. A few months later, the 48-year-old music icon — who reportedly was happy and purpose-filled on the set — would die in California of an accidental drowning in a hotel bathtub (with cocaine and heart disease as contributing factors). The tr...
The box-office performance didn't match the hopes of the unblinking, horrifying re-creation of the Algiers Motel incident, a night of racist violence and police brutality during Detroit's 1967 riot that resulted in the killing of three unarmed black teenagers. Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") brought her usual dedication t...
This melancholy, claustrophobic and very terrifying thriller follows a teenage girl whose backseat fling with a seemingly nice guy results in her being stalked by an otherworldly creature. The only way to save herself? Pass on the curse by having sex with someone else. Director David Robert Mitchell, who grew up in Clawson, shot his acclaimed indie...
The complex, convoluted, and controversial story of Richard Wershe Jr. — a Detroit kid recruited at 14 to be an FBI informant and sentenced at 18 to life in prison for a drug crime — was condensed into a gritty, R-rated drama starring newcomer Richie Merritt as Rick and Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey as his conflicted father. Earnest but overstuf...
