Plastic and glue!
26 February 2022
I seem to have a ability to find and watch some interesting stuff!! This is no exception, plastic, cardboard and glue were probably in short supply after this was made. Recycling and waste collection services must have been empty judging by the amount of bottles, straws and cups that were used to make set props. The script is full of strange acronyms, words and made up stuff. So much in fact that producers and writers of many police shows have coppied the idea. Many of us have watched such shows. Having watched numerous sci-fi B movies I suppose I am not shocked at how dreadful it really is. You should, if you get chance, watch it, it's a good laugh. All in all, another way to pass a rainy Saturday afternoon with a piece of viewing history.

Wild Women (1951)
4/10
If you start, stay to the end.
11 February 2022
Well, I will start with just why I give four stars. There are scenes with various wild animals in, trees and ?? That's as far as I can go. Now the movie, pretty bad really, over zealous acting and a class stereo typing (for its period) of tribal communities. Today it would (I believe wrongly) be called racist and a example of colonial control. I on the other hand feel it represents a part of movie history long consigned to the learning bin. It is however, another example of serious (for its period) sexism, not totally aimed, I feel, just at the female actors. Strange singing, dubious costumes and even worse, tan lines that are so bad even in black and white they are fully visible. To conclude, I recommend that if you are lost for something to do on a wet day, stick it out to the end.

Only if you are at a loose end!
16 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Well, where to begin! It's in colour, has sound and, well that's where the positive pretty much ends. The scenery is sometimes believable as another world. The outfits are squarely of the time in sci-fi terms. The acting quality is on a par with other B movies of the day. Now the equipment, transport and the like. The rocket ship's are truly amazing. In one scene they resemble a V2 rocket, another a ICBM and after the first rocket refuels it is a totally different ship! The robot sort of resembles Robi Robot from Lost in Space.

Ok, it truly is a B movie however I sat through to the end and won't over recommend it but if you are at a loose end it is definitely one you can say "I've seen that"!!!

Classic sequel!
6 March 2021
Well, it is a sequel and in my opinion it is exactly that. There are quite a few funny parts and many not so, yet unfortunately so, there are many cringe worthy moments. It feels like a real push to relive something that was once really good, unfortunately I would argue, it didn't really work to well. On the plus side there are some well known names and the acting is generally pretty good. I would say it's not bad but don't expect fireworks and cheers.

Mindhorn (2016)
8/10
Simply silly.
4 March 2021
Crazy, pointless and weird is how I would describe Mindhorn. It probably is testament to good acting that it actually flows in a sort of believable plot. Like all good movies, good prevails and he gets the girl. I did laugh a few times, honestly I did. Good for a rainy day with a bar of chocolate.

Why!!
2 March 2021
I have watched some bad and questionable movies but this is truly the first time I have felt like I've lost a portion of my life. Sorry but it really, in my opinion, is rubbish. In today's pc world it is nothing short of sexist dribble. Go and wash the cat or polish the lawn, it truly will be a more satisfying use of life.

Meow!

Watched this out of curiosity and seriously glad I did. This is, in my opinion, a brilliant film. The cat, yes it's drawn, is so real, I felt as though I could touch it myself. Lovely ending and tearful when she starts talking. Forget your preconceived thoughts about animation and sit back.

The Prom (2020)
5/10
Movie of our times!
10 January 2021
Not to bad, with reservations, with a star studded cast. Storyline that works and concludes to a successful end. On the negative it is yet another example of a movie of our times. Moralistic, goddie and political correctness pushed down the viewers throat from start to finish.

Different!
23 November 2020
Take your brain out, sit back and do not remotely think seriously or how it is so not Sherlock Holmes and doctor Watson. What it is, is a movie that is stupid, senseles and what! There are many real funny moments and it does sort of flow with a story. I have watched many movies and thought how I lost hours of my life but if you take it for what it is, it's ok.

Not overly bad!!
19 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Well, I watched right to the end, you have to even when it's not brilliant. Therefore I can honestly say I have seen worse. Not sure if B movie is the right rating but it seriously is not A. One particularly bad scene is when the town drunk decides to race a train, grammatically atrocious, I counted 3 different engines and the crash! So plastic. The ending scenes include so obviously plastic cars! Ok, for its age CGI pretty much didn't exist therefore I understand limitations to a certain extent. All said, in my opinion it's positive side is a long gone era of hot rods, young American's enjoying a relatively inocenent existence and yesterday fashion. Worth watching but, put your brain to one side.
