DVD Reviews of After Sunset
DVD Review: Part Drive-in, Part Road Trip
Summary: 3 Stars
I was a bit disappointed in this DVD because it is part road trip, and part documentary of Drive-ins. If I wanted a road trip movie I would buy one with some comedy. There are some great parts including an interview with John Carpenter and some of the drive-in owners. To much of it to suit me shows how 4 guys cross the country in an old Cadillac. That is not exactly what I was after. I do not recommend this if you are mainly interested in Drive-ins unless you are trying to get all you can find on them. You will get some decent photos, a few good shots of drive-ins still operating in the mid 90s, and some of the old commercials. So not an entire waste, but I think it is overpriced for what you get.
Description of After Sunset
Nearly 63 years after its conception, the drive-in theater stands as one of America's last great icons. It represents an entire era of American culture ranging from the space race and the automobile to the emergence of the teenage and movies like Beach Blanket Bingo. But now, in the age of the multiplex and bottled water, the drive-in theater is nearly gone... it's a dinosaur. With hopes of better understanding the past, filmmaker Jon Bokenkamp leads his ragtag crew across the American West. Using drive-in theaters as their map, these four young men search for a simpler time. Talking to those who built and lived the drive-in theater, they give a true picture of what the era of the outdoor theater was all about. Whether you have ever been to a drive-in or not, still frequent a remaining one, or simply recall with fondness those starry nights of popcorn and two-bit love, you'll find After Sunset to be a unique new film about one of the great icons of 20th-century ! America. Featuring interviews with director John Carpenter, author Michael Wallis, Hollywood movie mogul Samuel Z. Arkoff (producer of Beach Blanket Bingo), and satirist and social critic John Bloom (aka Joe Bob Briggs)."A wonderful evocation of a distinct piece of Americana." - Leonard Maltin, film criticGeneral DVDs
