PROBLEM: kids love numbers . My students love NUMB3RS.  They tell me they would have never watched this at home if they had not been introduced to it in my class.  They are very interested in "non-school" applications of math and since they catch the "bad guy" every week, I consider this character education.  You see, I teach in a secure juvenile detention facility

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Jack's Best Work . I can't remember when I saw this one on the big screen.  It was not long after Easy Rider and we had the idea that this Jack Nicholson had something to say to our 60's-70's counter-culture.  He did have something to say with some of the sharpest acting I had ever seen. He out-classed the James Dean's and Marlon Brando's, but not with ease.  Jack was workin' hard, switching from depressed concert pianist to hillbilly good time dude to misunderstood Romeo in five-minute intervals.  No, make that changeable temperament every five seconds, truly an artistic milestone. Throw in an equally magnificent portrayal by Karen Black, sexy and hillbilly; Jessica Simpson, eat your heart out, and you have the couple of the year, 1970.    Jack's father is one of those evil patriarch's that hurt their kids bad, pushing them to greatness without an ounce of love.  Consequently, the siblings are brilliant and eccentric.  The daughter is a frumpy dope.  The older son is a violinist with a neck injury, and then there's handsome Jack, shiftless, moving from bed to bed, crossing the country, a boozing bum.  Back in the Vietnam years there was an examination of bourgeois life.  Did we have to get a job and get married?  Was everyone in a particular cubbyhole, mail in the funeral?  Hence, we had the counter-culture, drugs, long haired hippies, sexual openness, and shiftless lifestyles. Bob Rafelson's film gives you that, but mercifully, with subtly.  That last scene at the gas station says it all.  I think directors would be hard pressed to sum up a film's theme so effectively with so little noise - amazing.

PROBLEM: Head of it's class! . One of the best of the head-in-a-box genre (see also "The Head" (1959) Victor Trivas, dir; "The Frozen Dead" (1966) starring Dana Andrews) this particular movie is enlivened by the relentless saxophone score and the notion of a man out shopping for bodies for his decapitated fiancee at strip clubs. Hey! Might as well have the best!   The story is straightforward and stupid: a car crash decapitates the fiancee, so of course the only rational response to this predicament is to keep her head alive in a box in the basement. Why couldn't he keep her body alive, too, then just stitch them back together? Well, the scientist boyfriend must have lost his head because he didn't think about this course of action. Or many he was thinking with his little head and seized the opportunity to create a more bodilicious girlfriend with some cut and paste action!  Anyway, the girlfriend gets jealous...watch out for a woman scorned! "No baby, it's not like that. I was at the strip club looking for new bodies for you!" Yeah right try that out around MY house and see what happens. Anyway, the plan goes awry and the nasty humanoid critter gets out of the closet (Ohhh I'm in a cold sweat over that one) and the movie finally ends. And not with the expected bang, either.  Fabulous hideous terrible schlock. Highly recommended!
