Lori Singer made her breakthrough role as Ariel Moore in the 1984 musical film Footloose. A young Kevin Bacon also turned in a star-making performance in the film. The film was the decade-defining musical of the 80s with its foot-tapping dance numbers and amazing soundtrack still etched into people’s minds.

Tony Richardson’s look at corruption in the border patrol service is both sensational and insightful, and Jack Nicholson gives a committed performance as a downtrodden functionary who finds himself in a major moral and humanitarian catastrophe. The problem is still there today, with no consensus on the right diagnosis or solution. The action melodrama costars Harvey Keitel & Valerie Perrine, and introduces (to the U.S.) the impressive Elpidia Carrillo.

Frances Farmer
Relax. That's just a hairdresser behind her.
Before today's roundup gets rolling, I want to mention that David Phelps is conducting an experiment you should know about, The Secret History of America.
The liveliest read of the day comes from Matt Evans in the Morning News, a furious pitch for Frances Farmer — the actual woman and actress, not the lobotomized zombie portrayed by Jessica Lange in Frances (1982). Have fun.
"Why I Pirate Movies: A Self-Justification." Mike D'Angelo can't be surprised that he's kicked up a virtual storm. It began in the comments following that entry and has since blown over to Twitter.
Andy Warhol died 25 years ago today. Alex Needham examines the legacy in the Guardian and, in the Voice, Camille Dodero asks, "what does Andy Warhol's New York City look like today?"
Today's review of Geoff Dyer's Zona comes from R Emmet Sweeney at Movie Morlocks.

Actress Goldie Hawn has paid tribute to her longtime friend and celebrated cinematographer Richard Waite, who passed away on Saturday.
He died at the age of 78 but little details of his passing were made available at the time WENN went to press.
The director of photography was born in Wisconsin in 1933 and he went on to lend his artistic talents to a number of hit films, including Footloose, Sylvester Stallone thriller Cobra, Patrick Swayze drama Red Dawn and Eddie Murphy's 48 Hrs.
Remembering her late pal with a post on Twitter.com on Sunday, The First Wives Club star writes, "My dearest friend Ric Waite Passed away yesterday. The movie industry lost one talented dr of photography, I lost a beloved soul mate. Rip"...

The Long Riders, the outstanding 1980 Western film by Walter Hill (The Warriors) that details the final days of the notorious Jesse James gang, comes to Blu-ray disc on June 7 courtesy of 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The Jesse James gang makes their getaway in The Long Riders.
We’re always excited when a vintage Walter Hill action movie comes to Blu-ray, as it gives his always gorgeous mise-en-scène and cinematography (in this case, by 48 Hrs.’s Ric Waite) a chance to shine.
The nifty gimmick behind The Long Riders is in the casting of four set of real-life brothers in the roles of the sibling members of the James-Younger bank-robbing gang: There’s Stacy and James Keach (Waiting for Forever) as Frank and Jesse James; Robert, Keith and David Carradine (Dark Fields) as Bob, Jim and Cole Younger; Randy and Dennis Quaid (Pandorum) as Clell and Ed Miller; and Nicholas...

Kiefer Sutherland makes his big-screen directorial debut with "Truth or Consequences, N.M.", a standard issue caper with a conscience about an ex-con who gets involved in a drug heist in the name of love.
This ultraviolent, fugitives-on-the-run excursion offers little in the way of originality, although Sutherland shows some promise on the other side of the camera, particularly when it comes to working with other actors.
Still, the excessive bloodletting is ultimately a turnoff, and, the truth is, the picture will suffer the consequences of being let loose in an already crowded marketplace.
Vincent Gallo stars as the tough-but-sensitive Raymond Lembecke, a petty criminal who has just been released from jail, where he was sent for a crime he did not commit. Determined to get enough money to run off to Mexico with his girlfriend (Kim Dickens) and raise a family, Lembecke reluctantly hooks up with hot-headed Curtis Freley (Sutherland) and his voice-of-reason friend Marcus Weans (Mykelti Williamson) for what is supposed to be a simple robbery.
Of course, everything goes terribly wrong, and when the trigger-happy Freley blows away an undercover cop, the quartet hits the road with a briefcase full of stolen drugs and the law in hot pursuit. Ditching their car, they commandeer an RV complete with a pair of yuppie hostages (Kevin Pollak and Grace Phillips) and head for Vegas, where they plan to sell the drugs to gangster Tony Vago (Rod Steiger).
Sutherland, who made his behind-the-camera bow with Showtime's "Last Light", directs with confidence, although the Peckinpah influence is a little too apparent. While the plot holds few surprises, screenwriter Brad Mirman ("Body of Evidence") makes an earnest attempt to probe the psyches of his characters. But when that includes having Pollak's ultra-conservative character gradually tuning in to his dark side, the results border on the laughable.
The performances are fine, with "Forrest Gump"'s Williamson a particular standout as the undercover DEA man forced to go along for the ride longer than anticipated out of concern for the hostages. Martin Sheen clearly enjoys himself as a cool, avenging hit man addressed only as "Sir".
Technical assist is solid, with cinematographer Ric Waite ("On Deadly Ground", "Andersonville") effectively framing all the wide-open spaces, while editor Lawrence Jordan helps keep this road movie moving.
