Best of the Bad? Escape is Better Than Most in it's Genre!

Sat, 8 Sep 2001 19:07:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - This is another one of those guilty pleasures I've spoken of before... a truly awful plot but lot's of damsel-in-distress action... Escape From Women's Prison was on the big screen the first time I saw it... I might have missed it, but I'd seen...

Quick! Throw the Tape in The Pit and Cover It Good!

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 19:06:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - It's really, really sad when when you enter the video store and find that there are no good new releases that interest you. And it's even worse when all your old favorites are rented. Such an event might lead you to rent The Pit.

Probably a Silent Madness Made Me Watch This Movie!

Thu, 30 Aug 2001 20:53:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - Silent Madness... in 3-D no less, as it was upon it's initial theatrical release gave me a headache. I initially attributed the pain to those funky glasses... but damn if I didn't get another headache watching it on video!

The Dwarf, The Caveman & The Mad Scientist!

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 00:33:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - Originally the scary part of Mary Shelly's immortal creation was that there was a glimmer of fear that it might be plausible... that given the right conditions and the wrong scientist... that a Monster might indeed be created...

A Stink-Weed By Any Other Name...

Thu, 23 Aug 2001 18:03:13 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - What do 1) Zaat!, 2) The Bloodwaters of Dr. Z and 3) Attack of the Swamp Creature share in common?

They are different releases of the same film!

It is said that a Rose by any other name would...

No Talent Was Used in the Making of This Cheese

Wed, 22 Aug 2001 11:16:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - That disclaimer wasn't on the box for "Mardis-Gras Massacre" but it darn well could have been!

I've sat through many cheesy movies in my time...but I'd be hard pressed to list any that would out-cheese this one!

Never Trust a Sex-Crazed Killer!

Mon, 20 Aug 2001 13:32:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - That's pretty much the moral of this story! It's pretty much full of holes, plot wise; although in fairness that might be due to something being "lost in the translation" of the over-dubbed dialogue...

Cold Steel & Hot Babes!

Thu, 16 Aug 2001 15:27:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - The Demon is a little known Cameron Mitchell film that

features some hot babes, including Jennifer Holmes in

what was, I'm told, her first "mainstream" role after

a career as a porn actress... regardless, she

spends a good...

A Perfectly Sexy Thriller

Wed, 15 Aug 2001 13:12:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - Perfect Bodies, Perfect Hair, Perfect Faces, Perfect Victims was the tagline on the promotion/packaging of this movie. It might be the first true example of Truth in Advertising!

Perfect Victims is a movie...

Not Your "Typical" Mad-Dog-Killer Flick

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 15:55:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - I confess, this dark and very violent tale intrigued me. I watched in numerous times; mostly in an effort to finally figure out what I was missing! Finally I realized that I wasn't missing it, I just wasn't getting it all!

A Movie to Lose Your Head Over!

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 12:23:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author xcarguy2001 - Diverging from my spleen-venting over the automotive industry, I'll spend this Saturday morning reviewing an obscure-classic: The Brain That Wouldn't Die.
