Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is goofy, good-natured, and ridiculous. It's a movie about a simple-minded pair but the writing is clever. The characters are memorable, the script quotable, and overall, it's so easy-going it's difficult not to like even before we dig into what makes it great.
Bill S. Preston (Alex Winter) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Keanu Reeves) are would-be musicians, the founding and sole members of “Wyld Stallyn” (Pronounced “Wild Stallion”). The boys receive grave news from their history teacher: if they don’t get an A+ on their upcoming report, they’ll fail the class. Ted will be sent to military school. Wyld Stallyn will be dead. Enter Rufus (George Carlin) a man from 2688. To ensure the future's safety, he provides them with a time machine - the perfect tool to piece together a triumphant report.
Immediately, you know not to take the film seriously. We’re told that humanity will, in the future, exist in a state of perpetual happiness due to the inspiration they derived from the Wyld Stallyn. That's tough to believe. Almost as tough as the broad caricatures of Billy the Kidd (Dan Shor), Napoleon (Terry Camilleri), and the rest. The Abraham Lincoln we see (portrayed by Robert V. Barron) isn’t the least bit convincing. Of course not. It’s a lot funnier that way.
Bill & Ted and Wayne's World started a trend in the '90s. Two metalhead slackers with lousy grades embarking on a fantastic adventure. Sounds a lot like Meet the Deedles, Bio-Dome, and others. The imitators were doomed from the start. They featured unlikeable protagonists. What’s different about Bill & Ted? A number of things, first and foremost being that they’re friends, and actually quite intelligent. There is no contrived falling out, not an inkling of animosity between the two. They’re enthusiastic buddies through-and-through. They want to have a great time, and they’re inviting you to come along with them. It’s true that their book smarts may be lacking, but when it comes to the time machine business, it doesn't take them long to figure out how to run circles around everyone else. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure is one of the few time travel movies in which the rules established remain consistent and the heroes understand, and take advantage of the true power given by time travel. Often the film will do anything for a laugh but the goofiness is a hardbound cover on a book that’s well written.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure does not ask you to go on a journey with two people you’d never want to associate with. In real life, you’d have a great time with Bill & Ted, either laughing along with them or at them (just a little bit). Their tight bond of friendship makes them instantly endearing. The adventure they embark upon is delightful. A myriad of quotable lines, memorable moments, and big laughs make Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure a minor comedy classic. (On DVD, March 17, 2017)

CRITTERS (1986) Si tout le monde connaît les GREMLINS (1984-1990), il n’en est pas la même pour les CRITTERS, éclipsés à l’époque par les mogwai de Joe Dante: de faux alter-ego horrifiques pour ce film de Stephen Herek -dont c’est le premier-, qui se place dans la catégorie “horreur” plus que dans la case “comédie horrifique”, et ce malgré une drôlerie assumée et logique. On retrouve aux commandes des marionettes/animatroniques et VFX/SFX les Chiodo Brothers, connus pour le légendaire KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE (1988), dans ce récit de S-F à l’ancienne -la famille de fermiers du Kansas confrontée à la menace extraterrestre inattendue-, mettant les CRITTERS en fuyards aliens, boules de poils parlant dans leur dialecte, affamées en dangereuses. Ces bouffe-tout de l’espace sont immédiatement pris en chasse par deux bounty hunters, juste après leur évasion: les humanoïdes sans visage -mais capables de dupliquer n’importe lequel- débarquent donc sur Terre, suite à l’écrasement du vaisseau des dites bestioles, stupides au point d’avoir dévoré la machinerie de ce dernier. Le daron sévère fan de bowling, la femme au foyer, la jeune fille adolescente et le petit frangin sont autant de stéréotypes que de raisons pour tomber amoureux de CRITTERS, jouant à la fois au WTF -la démolition de l’église par les chasseurs de primes intergalactiques-, à l’horreur pure -les Critters ont toujours faim et n’hésitent pas à user de leurs pics propulsés à volonté, ou de gober une main/bouffer un être humain dès que possible-, sans oublier de diffuser cette atmosphère eighties old-school appréciable. Typique du syndrôme nanar en VF/saturday-night movie en V.O., CRITTERS n’a pas la présomption de remplacer des GREMLINS, ou d’en proposer une alternative: ces boules de poils hystériques et cruelles construisent ici leur propre mythologie -le Mega Critter-, codes -creature-design et comportement-, et background -le côté alien de l’histoire-, sans copier bêtement les gros succès du box-office. On retrouve ces couleurs inhérentes aux travaux des Chiodo Brothers, ainsi qu’une mise en scène léchée: fun fact, le script de CRITTERS s’inspire justement d’un fait-divers, témoignage de fermiers américains ayant signalé une agression nocturne par des aliens -la rencontre de Kelly-Hokinsville sur Wikipédia-, parfaite base pour 1h20 d’horreur rigolote et valable, car sombre et sanglante. Petite perle d’humour noir, CRITTERS parlera à celles et ceux qui auraient loué la VHS au vidéo-club du coin -c’était il y a longtemps-: pour preuve, quatre opus de la licence au total ont vu le jour. On va citer TREMORS (1990) pour évaluer l’aura culte de CRITTERS, équivalente à celui-ci: une obligation de parcours supplémentaire pour le genre horrifique. On en est fan, de ces sales bêtes. FUCK YOU GREMLINS ! /20
