Eye of the Tiger (1986) Review

Holy crap! This movie blew my mind! Action? TOO MUCH OF IT (almost)! Acting? TRULY OSCAR WORTHY! Theme Song? GREATEST SONG EVER! It's a shame that there aren't more movies out there with "Eye of the Tiger" as the theme song. I honestly believe it would go great with some movie where this guy has to face a huge challenge and he seems like an underdog however in the end, due to his amazing conditioning and training he overcomes his challenges and beats the favorite in a boxing match.

Hell to Pay (2006) Review

I love a good western. That being said, I didn't love "Hell To Pay". It was o.k. and that's it. The box said it was nominated as "...best western of 2006", so I guess it was the only western out in 2006, and it didn't win the catagory. It had a lot of "legendary" western stars in it, returning for "...a final shootout". That was, kind of, cool but, it wasn't a whole lot different than say, "Maverick". A movie that I enjoyed a lot more, by the way. The dialog in "Hell To Pay" was written poorly, and the acting wasn't much better. I have a compulsion, at times, to count the shots taken in movie shootouts. I resisted this time but, I know more than 6 shots were taken by shooters in their scenes; a sure sign of inattentive editing or, not caring and going for the action shot. The actors, also (another pet-peeve) acted like they were shooting bb guns. No recoil even hinted at. I would think that, a movie that has SASS (Single Action Shooting Society, kind of a Creative Anachronism Society for the old west) associated with it might be more, for lack of a better term, realistic, maybe accurate works. I think it was just an excuse for SASS'ers to go out and play western, and get it on film. The main reason I purchased the movie was the purported nomination for the Golden Boot Award. I guess I should have investigated the organization that gives out this "award". 3 stars is being generous, It was, after all, a "try".

Invasion of the Star Creatures/Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973) Review

Invasion of the Star Creatures/Invasion of the Bee Girls (1973)

(3.5/5 stars) I agree with the other reviewers that this is an odd pairing because "Invasion of the Star Creatures" is a black and white movie suitable for nearly all ages, while "Invasion of the Bee Girls" is an R-rated movie with sex, nudity and violence. I started to watch "Invasion of the Star Creatures," but it was so bad I could not finish it. Perhaps someday. This is more a review of the flip side, "Invasion of the Bee Girls" (aka "Graveyard Tramps"). Knowing nothing about this prior to viewing it, I was pleasantly surprised. Someone, or some thing, is having sex with the townswomen's husbands until they die (not that the men are complaining). The Bee Girls recruit the townswomen too, making the "threat" difficult to contain. Agent Agar (William Smith) is brought in to investigate, giving the movie a semblance of legitimacy. This is the type of neat little movie that doesn't try to overextend itself despite a limited budget. The few special effects are not very elaborate and work well enough for a movie of this scope. The filmmakers recognize the fact most people will not watch this for the special effects or sci-fi components, but rather for gratuitous nudity. On this count it delivers. Yes, it is trashy, but it knows its audience, does well with what it has and is also competent enough to avoid being too easily dismissed. Get this DVD for this movie and consider the other one a bonus.
