B-Movie (band)

B-Movie are a new wave band from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England, active in the first half of the 1980s. Their 1982 single "Nowhere Girl" became an international club hit, earning the band a worldwide fan base.

History

The band's original lineup included vocalist/bassist Steve Hovington, guitarist Paul Statham, keyboardist Rick Holliday and drummer Graham Boffey.

B-Movie's initial 1980 EP releases, the Take Three 7" and Nowhere Girl 12", were issued on the small UK indie label Dead Good Records. They were eventually signed to the Some Bizzare label, and their song "Moles" was featured on the original 1981 Some Bizzare Album.

In 1981, B-Movie signed with Phonogram imprint Deram, and had their biggest UK commercial success with the single "Remembrance Day", which reached No. 61 on the UK Singles Chart. The follow-up single, "Marilyn Dreams", failed to chart.

In 1982, they re-released "Nowhere Girl" as a single, which made the Top 10 in many European countries and reached No. 68 in the UK, but there was no immediate follow-up or full-length album. The popular webcomic Nowhere Girl was named after this single.

B-Movie (MxPx album)

B-Movie is a DVD released by MxPx in 2004. It is a combination of live concert footage and a documentary of the band. The concert footage is culled from a 3-night stint in late 2003 at El Corazon in Seattle (at the time, still called The Graceland). It also features a five-track acoustic EP called The AC/EP.

DVD

Although the band recorded 3 full nights of shows for the DVD, only 5 song performances actually appear on the DVD. The remainder of the film is interviews with the band and backstage footage.

  • 36 Quai des Orfèvres (film)

    36 Quai des Orfèvres (also known as 36th Precinct and Department 36) is a 2004 French film directed by Olivier Marchal and starring Daniel Auteuil and Gérard Depardieu. The film takes place in Paris, where two cops (Auteuil and Depardieu) are competing for the vacant seat of chief of the Paris Criminal police while involved in a search for a gang of violent thieves. The film is directed by Olivier Marchal, a former police officer who spent 12 years in the French police. The story is loosely inspired from real events which occurred during the 1980s in France (see the gang des postiches arrest). The film was nominated for eight César Awards.

    Plot

    The story revolves around two Prefecture of Police officers: Léo Vrinks (Daniel Auteuil), head of the BRI and Denis Klein (Gérard Depardieu), head of the BRB. Both want to catch a vicious gang of armoured-car robbers that have killed nine people. But when their immediate superior, the chief of the criminal police (André Dussolier), announces that he will soon retire, the rivalry pushes Klein to play dirty in order to get the promotion.

    Caught a ride into South Dakota,
    With two girls in a light blue Desoto,
    You know one's name was Jane,
    The other was plain,
    But they both had racing motors.
    Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife,
    She had a brand new laid down Rambler.
    She stopped outside of town,
    Laid the rambler down,
    Said she sure could dig it if I rode her,
    Said she sure could dig it if I rode her.
    Doing my best to get back to you,
    Ain't nothing' I'd rather do.
    Look for me Sunday,
    Gonna be there, honey,
    With something special just for you.
    Yeah a little something special just for you.
    At a truck stop for toothpick and water,
    Caught a ride with a fruit picker's daughter,
    I drove her through the night,
    While the fruit got ripe,
    She gave me all I could eat for a quarter.
    Next I hopped a train with a hobo woman,
    Said she was from Texas too.
    The way she did, what she did,
    what she did, what she did to me,
    made me think of you.
    Yeah honey made me think of you.
    Doing my best to get back to you,
    Ain't nothing I'd rather do,
    Look for me Sunday,
    Hope I'll be there, honey
    With something special just for you,
    Yeah a little something special just for you
    Bet all my money on a race horse baby
    One they said can't lose.
    Now I'm walking down here,
    in the freezing rain
    Trying to get to you, trying to get to you.
    Doing everything I know how to do
    I'm down here in the freezing rain, honey
    Trying to get to you,
    Yeah just trying to get to you.
    Doing everything, everything I know how to do
    Walking down here in the freezing rain, honey
    Trying to get to you,
    Yeah trying to get to you.
    And I'm walking and I'm talking to myself
    And it's raining and I'm freezing me to death
    thinking 'bout you babe
