“The Blues Brothers” 1980 is packed with music and lots of law enforcement car chases. Then add in “Joliet” Jake and Elwood on “a mission from God” to save the orphanage, plus attacks on Jake’s life by a mysterious woman left waiting at the altar, pursuit by the angry country western band, and attacks by a neo-Nazi party. What did I forget? Director John Landis herds these events into a crazy-quilt of music and mayhem.
John Belushi is Jake Blues and Dan Aykroyd is blood brother Elwood. The large cast includes Cab Calloway, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, John Candy, Ray Charles, Twiggy, Steve Lawrence, Frank Oz, Henry Gibson, Steven Spielberg in the Assessor’s office, Ralph Foody as Police Dispatcher, and a long list of other talented folks. Hang on!

“The Fog” 1980 is a horror-drama set in the California coastal town of Antonio Bay. Director John Carpenter co-wrote the screenplay and created the music for this exciting story. A luminous, eerie fog rolls into town bringing with it the ghosts from 100 years ago seeking revenge for their brutal murder and theft of their gold.
Adrienne Barbeau is Stevie Wayne the radio host who early on deals with the fog, Ty Mitchell plays Stevie’s son Andy, Jamie Lee Curtis is Elizabeth Solley a hitchhiker swept up in events that also engulf her friend Nick Castle played by Tom Atkins, Janet Leigh plays Kathy Williams who is nervously coordinating the town’s 100-year anniversary, and Father Patrick Malone, at the core of this vengeful tale, is played by Hal Holbrook. Happy Halloween?
