rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - Since I have already written a review of the "Pigkeeper's Daughter" refer to it to get all the info on that title.

A poor man's version of Porky's

Tue, 25 Nov 2003 03:11:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - In 1982, movie goers (specially teenage ones) were treated to a steady diet of campy high school/college movies. Such titles as "H.O.T.S", "HotTimes" and "Revenge of the cheerleaders", portrayed the zany, racy life of the 1960's U.S.A. At least the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - Director Bethel Buckalew (Country Cuzzin's) was one of the best exponent's of the exploitation cinema of the early 1970s.

Bruce Lee fights back...just not in this movie

Sat, 26 Apr 2003 14:39:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - In 1978, Bruce Lee imitators were all over the place. In this movie we see yet another wannabe in Bruce K. Lea. The originality of the names is befuddling. On to the movie, I had seen the movie back in 1996, it was distributed by the Media company...

Underrated black humor

Thu, 6 Mar 2003 00:30:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - When I first saw this movie in 1992 on late night HBO, I had to keep watching because it was funny, surprisingly not dated and did not take itself seriously.

Slasher film wannabe

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - Director Lamberto Bava wanted to take advantage of buxom Italian startlet Serena Grandi and make a rather expensive movie called "Delirium". If you watch the original "Delirium" of the 1960s there are similarities in plot, but Bava's effort is much...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - By 1969, Russ Meyer had already shocked the censors with racy movies like "Lorna", "The Immoral Mr. Teas" and "Around the World with Fanny Hill". The recipes to his movies were: large buxom women, wimpy men and quick edits with a thin plot.

A erotic obsession

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - "Private Obsession" is one of those many movies that made it straight to video and to late movie slots at Cinemax and Showtime. As a matter of fact when I first saw this movie in 1996, I though it would be one of those lame "fake-boobed girl gets...

Don't expect a holocaust here

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 00:44:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - In "Zombi Holocaust" there is a real attempt by the distributors to make us believe this is a mix or Ruggero Deodatos' "Cannibal Holocaust" and Lucio Fulci's "Zombie". They were on the right track. Released in the U.S in 1980 as Dr. Butcher M.D (what a...

"Lethal Moviewatching"

Sat, 18 May 2002 21:46:19 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author paquiviris - Julie Strain is perhaps one of the most imposing women ever to grace the B-movie business. The 6-2 brunette amazon, has been in many b-movies that are quite forgettable, with few exceptions like "Heavy Metal 2000" and "Sorceress". This one is very...
