Review of Thank God It's Friday (1978) by Private U — 22 Nov 2007

[size=2]I'm beginning the rather lengthy task of entering into the database every film I have seen, at least those I have a decent memory of. Some may have the briefest of reviews while many will just have a number. Those films that I consider personal favorites and/or those that have some historical signficance I will add later when I have time for more lengthy reviews.

[b]Day of the Dolphin[/b], directed by Mike Nichols, is a political thriller starring George C. Scott as a researcher studying dolphin intelligence. Right wing groups think they can train the dolphins to blow up the president's yacht. Not meant to be amusing but it is!

[b]Ice Castles[/b], directed by Donald Wrye, is a sappy romantic drama about a blind ice skater.

[b]Thank God It's Friday[/b], directed by Robert Klane, is a film about a dance contest at a popular disco. It's not a particularly good film (Saturday Night Fever is much better) but it's somewhat enertaining if viewed as a "period piece" of the disco era. Stars Donna Summer, Terri Nunn, Jeff Goldblum, Debra Winger, the Commodores, and Chick Vennerra.

About five years ago I bought a box of about 50 videos at a garage sale for $5. [b]Stanley [/b]was one in the box! It's a film about about a Vietnam vet who raises snakes to kill people who try to hurt him. It's so bad it's almost funny. Almost.
