----------------
the reason for us to skip 'reports'
was to avoid two columns, which had
to be filled by extraordinary stuff,
because articles and reports are the
most difficult stuff to get lately.
(as noone wants to write anything!)
you will also find reports (like the
venlo report) in this sub...
venlo-january-report
--------------------
the monthly venlo-meeting was visited
by a couple of guys although it was
one week delayed, so i didn't reckon
with all the people.
as usual many amiga-dudes showed up,
but surprisingly more c64's were
present than (l)amigas !
as usual most of the people where
quite lame because the only reason
for them to come to the meeting is
to copy some lame stuff...
it was the second time i drove by
myself in order to avoid the stupid
train, which costs a lot of money,
you also have to walk about 30 min
to the meeting-place !
beside the hall itself, the snack-bar
was the second best visited place...
as usual...
some nice people showed up this month
who aren't available there periodly
like some transcom dudes from belgium
and france (lkj & co), ninja/dom,
a couple of action dudes, jack d./gp
georg bo sky/abary (yoo), and of
course a lot of other people which
i either didn't know or didn't see...
the stuff spreaded there is not even
worth to be mentioned except this mag
and some i+t stuff (hehehe)...
wait, also action and dom had a few
datas to spread...
yes, i'll be there next time when
the x-elite dudes will show up again,
or i+t switzerland and of course
abary with some pictures for me...
(hopefully!!!)
ach ja, straight after the meeting,
in the streets of venlo, we had some
obstinate pursuer...it was spitfire
with his gang who was proud like hell
that he could drive to venlo by car
for the first time...
hmm on the autobahn (highway) he
slammed on the gas and overtook us
by sending a friendly (?) greeting
towards our vehicle...
too bad they didn't recognize the
'spalters sux' sticker we showed them
all the time when they still were
behind us... the end !!

- postcards from the edge -
starring meryl streep and
shirley mac laine, dennis quaid
he young actress, suzanne vale, is
amous and on her way down..
uring the making of a new film, she
ollapses and is sent to a hospital
or treatment of alcoholism and drug
buse. after her treatment, she is
ffered a role in a new film, but with
ne slight problem, she will have to
et a person to look after her, or she
on't get the role!
nd what is more logical, she moves
ack to her mothers place.. but this
s only the beginning of all the
roblems she could do without.. a new
over (dennis quaid) drives her mad,
nd things couldn't be any worse,
hen your mother starts to treat you
ike a teenager, and you are 30!
ating: meryl streep sings, and she
actually does is quite well.
and with a cast like that, who
could go wrong.. did you like
meryl in "she-devil" you will
love her in "postcards "
produced by mike nichols and
well played.......... 73%
- bad influence -
starring rob lowe and james spader
ichael boll (james spader) is a young
uppie who has it all, a car, a blond
irlfriend and a nice house.. one day
e meets the charming and smooth alex

f. within weeks, michael is slowly
ragged into a world of drugs and sexy
irls, strange club's and high voltage
n this world, he also meets claire, &
oon his ties to the real world & his
ormer girlfriend is gone, but what
ichael boll does not know, is that
head of him, there is a bill to pay,
nd a murder to come!!
ill he be able to get out of this,
nd will he do it alive?!
ating: rob lowe is back on the silver
screen, and he plays the role
very power-full, maybe his own
experience with the jail, sex
and press has influenced him
to play so brilliant!!
james spader is know from lots
of films, but the most recent
was "sex, lies and videotapes"
a brilliant thriller.... 89%
- air america -
tarring mel gibson, robert downey jr.
ene and billy are caught ina war that
oes not exist. the time is 1968-69
nd the place is laos. both are pilots
n the topsecret c.i.a airline company
alled "air america".. the vietnam war
as it's hero's, and gene and billy
re two of 'em.their base is placed in
he jungle and they fly with anything
nytime and anywhere, even with drugs!
he u.s army has made a deal with the
ocal general, and in return for the
eneral helping the u.s army, they

ourse getting alot of money by the

hut! to cover up for the illegal
ransports, the general and the major
ide some drugs in gene and billy's
lane, and they have to prove that
hey are actually innocent, and also
tay alive to prove it!
ating: this is the worst mel gibson
film i have seen in a long
time, and the plot is pretty
obvious, so unless you have
5 bucks you don't want to give
to the homeless, you go watch
for yourself, but don't say
that we didn't warn you!
weak, with no real plot.. 50%
k, that's it for this months issue of
he mamba-film-review, but be sure to
et the next mamba, where we'll review
he new block-buster "predator ii"
reviews by excell
predator ii
-------------
the alien with the space dreadlocks
returns, this time in the future.
roger glover plays the character that
will remind you of mel gibson's role
in the 'lethal weapon' flick. dary
busey plays the part of a
co-ordinator of a high tech posse
that has been tracking the alien.
sorry, no arnie in this one...
ganga violence is high, drugs are
still a major source for plot. the
gangs have three officiers pinned
down in the street and glover comes
along to save the day. plowing his
car in the midst of them, the cops
are able to get to the downed
officiers and the gang is forced
inside. once inside our alien friend
adds the gang members to his list of
trophies.
needless to say this befuddles the
cops. that is the first of such
happenings, and we're treated to
another slaughter later on, this time
the alien gets careless and leaves
one of his weapons behind.
busey sets an elaborate trap for the
alien and fails miserably! glover
does manage to pick up another of
aliens' weapons, which end up being
its downfall. if you've not seem the
movie, i'll stop here so as to not
blow it for you.
rating: the storyline is weak. glover
is no replacement for arnie.
more could have been done to
make this more interesting...
rating: 73%
flatliners
------------
kiefer sutherlands, julia roberts and
kevin bacon play three med students
in this columbia picture that have
found a way to stop their hearts,
experience the 'going to the other
side' and then coming back.
unfortunately they bring something
back with them...
some very good special effects in
this, and is more of a thinking movie
than a blood and guts type.
well worth the time to view it.
rating: bacon stepped in to this out
'tremors' roberts is still
on a roll with 'pretty
woman' and sutherland shook
the dust and bullets off
from 'young guns ii' their
chemistry works well!
rating: 89%
sleeping with the enemy
robertsm trying to escape from her
husband, well to do investment banker
who turns out to be an abusive sort
and obsessed. after pulling up with
three years of physcial and emotional
violence, lauro burney (roberts)
takes her own death and begins a new
life. some clues tip her old man,
martin (patrick bergin) that she's
not as dead as she would like all to
believe. he tracks her down and
starts playing mind games with her.
if you've seen 'fatal attraction'
just reverse the roles.
rating: joe ruben did an excellent
job with his flick.
there's enough to keep all
on the edge, right up to the
end. you'll like that!
rating: 90%
