tered and ready to add to your midnight-movies shelf. Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the supermar- ket, the tomatoes are back! And they are out for juice! The hilarious parody
of horror and B-movies is just as funny now as it was when you were a
teenager at the drive-in. There are so many funny moments, it would be purt’ near impossible to list them all here. And would you really want me too? Suffice it to say that while some people think tomatoes are vegetables, and we know they are really fruit, but no matter what their classifica- tion, they are innocent looking, blood thirsty killers.
After several attacks in the city, Mason
Dixon (David Miller) finds himself leading a team of experts in eradicating the menace. But are they too late? Are we all soup? Have the words, “Wow, I could have had a V-8” been spoken for the last time? Will our heroes be able to save the day? The answer lies in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Be prepared to fight! Well, maybe not fight . . . but at least laugh. A lot! Oh yeah, it includes a groovy slip case and small movie poster!

D.O.A.: A Right of Passage (Special Edition Blu-ray and DVD) (MVD)
I remember seeing
this full on punk rock docu- mentary at the movie theater back in 1979. The film docu- ments the rise of punk and the Sex Pistols 1978 US tour that ended in the group breaking
up.Director Lech Kowalski followed the band on their seven-city tour with
hand-held cameras, documenting not only the Pistols, but also their contemporaries, Includes
53
musics from The Clash, Iggy Pop, The Dead Boys, Generation X (led by Billy Idol), The Rick Kids, X-Ray Spex, Sham 69. The result is a grainy, spit stained picture of the punk era that includes the now infamous footage of Syd Vicious and Nancy Spungen in bed. D.O.A. is the ultimate punk rock documentary. A time capsule from a time of youth rebellion and no holds barred musical ex- pression. Interesting doesn’t begin to cover it! God save the Queen! This is punk, fellow babies. Love it or leave it.

Culture Club Live at Wembley (Rocket Fuel Media)
The 1980’s hit makers
reunited for a tour in 2016, and their sold out show at Wembley in De- cember was recorded for professional release. The band return to London, where it all began for them back in 1981 to
perform all of their hits and more, lead by the enigmatic Boy George, who’s voice soars and sounds as good, if not better than it did in the ‘80’s. All four original band members are re- united, including Jon Moss, Roy Hay and Mikey Craig came together for one final show. All the hits are played, from “Karma Chameleon” to “It’s a Miracle,” “Do You Really Want to Hurt Me,” “I’ll Tumble 4 Ya,” “Church of the Poison Mind,” “Time, Clock of the Heart” and “Miss Me Blind.” The show closes with an excellent cover od T. Rex’s “Bang a Gong (Get it On).” One of the most outstanding vocal performances here is the Club’s reggae cover of David Gates’ (Bread) “Everything I Own.” What a voice! Live at Wimbley is nothing less than a
treat for fans of ‘80’s music and Top 40 classic rock. Enjoy the show. Highly recommended.
