Laura and John in front-- you and I in the backseat
595150
LITTLE LAURA AND BIG JOHN was one of the many indie quickies that once appeared as the bottom half of a Drive-In movie double feature way back when summer and youth seemed inexhaustible. Movies like this weren't really meant to be watched closely-- they were designed as wallpaper to the private activities of backseated teens all across the U.S.

Make no mistake about it: this is clumsily put-together. LL&BJ has the feel of a crude student film, and yet, what was originally meant as a cinematic trifle best forgotten over a slice of late-nite pizza has with the passage of a third of a century somehow gained in value. The story is loosely based on a real outlaw gang-- one that operated in rural South Florida in the 1920s. A half-century later, much of their stomping grounds remained as they'd been decades earlier. To now see the natural beauty we've since traded for pavement, strip malls and multiplex theaters is poignantly melancholic.

The film's narrative songs, like "Goin' to Jacksonville" or "Everybody Likes it Up at Raiford," are positively laughable. For ex-teen idol Fabian Forte, "Big John" was hardly a bright spot on his acting resume, while Karen Black managed to survive her "Little Laura" misstep unscathed. Several others appearing here define the word "amateur," while many bit players were locals with zero acting experience.

So, who should see this film? South Floridians, certainly. Karen Black fans, maybe. Anyone nostalgic for a reminder of the drive-in theater's last glory days, most definitely.

Speaking of which, ELITE's&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/DRIVE-IN-DISCS-COLLECTION/dp/B0000A0WHR/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">DRIVE-IN DISCS COLLECTION</a>&nbsp;is about as close as you can get to being at a drive-in movie. Not only are six great old fright films presented, but also included are cartoons, coming attractions, snack bar ads, and a subtle soundtrack of crickets, tires on gravel and occasional voices. It's quite an experience!

Another Riley Hart winner I just dry my last tears n I'm ready to rave.  I LOVE it.  Drew and Justin are HOT together.  These two are such naturals around each other, their banter...they laugh together so easily, so much fun.  Justin to Drew You're the only thing here that feels like mine.  Drew to Justin what do you do to me? Justin's response I don't know but whatever it is , you do the same thing to me.  I thoroughly enjoyed Test Drives and I can't wait for the next Crossroads

Love to listen to this single in the car. A few arrangements, plus an instrumental, so you can sing to the accompaniment.  Steven Tyler's voice still spectacular. Love to hear him taking a breathe... ahhhhh.

It's perfect for us! We have one child but she loves to bring a "friend" along (a dolly). But when she does have a friend over there's room! We've used it so much it hadn't needed to be folded up yet but once winter comes I'm happy it'll fold down. The seat belts are a great added feature that was important to us for our daughter's safely.

This dual camera is excellent. It is excellent day and night. Wide camera angle from it's deceiving little lens. (it's so wide you see both you and your passenger plus whoever is in the middle in the backseat. It has gps to track your movement, speed, voice recording etc. (all that you can turn off) The audio/voice recording is excellent, no static everything is recorded like you're in a studio making an album. This is excellent to have just in case the impossible happens car accident. Also evidence to show courts for that traffic ticket.

I love this couple. I love their blog. I love them for sharing it with us. I was excited when I heard they had a book coming out and immediately pre-ordered 2 of them. Then I went to a book signing and bought 2 more. These make great coffee table books and house warming presents. I love how creative John and Sherry are.

Oh my goodness! Best car seat ever in my opinion. We have a dachaund and he fits comfortably. He's a copilot kinda guy, so anyone else riding with us has to take the back seat. Lol! Very well made and strong materials. Delivery was prompt.

The title track, which is the only new song by Prine on this CD, is the most hilarious duet by a male/female duo that's come out of Nashville since Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn's "You're The Reason Our Kids Are  Ugly".  The duets with Iris Dement work best, the song choices are  good, and Prine seems to be enjoying the company.
