Witchcraft 666: The Devil's Mistress (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Oops, this is just a Troma flick, and there's really no point in reviewing anything specific aside from making a general observation. First, being a Troma chick vid, the only purpose of it is to show nude models, and pretty nice ones too. The rest of the film is apparently populated by members of the film crew judging by the acting (and most of them are wearing hoods anyway). It's a pretty telling tip off when the DVD features a quick link to the nude parts!
Okay, there's nothing wrong with the tradition of using a horror/killer flick to display skin, right? Well . . . in 1994, maybe. Now? No way. There is so much nudity available on TV and especially the internet, needless to say, that no excuse is needed anymore. Try typing any girl's name on a global search of usenet postings, the typical response is maybe 10 thousand images and videos, 99.9% of which are porn. Nudity here, nudity there, nudity everywhere! Troma is going to have to harden up and get out the whips and torture chambers, because as it stands their films are too corny and too nudie cutie to be of interest to the sleaze crowd.
That's it, two stars for cute girls and the NTRL factor (nudity to total running length), but I gotta say, the NTRL factor is reaching the end of its useful life.

Amos (1985 TV-movie) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)More information for those thinking of purchasing a previously viewed copy of this out-of-print item.....
Amos Made for TV by Kirk Douglas' own Bryna Productions and was first telecast on September 29, 1985. It stars Kirk Douglas, Elizabeth Montgomery, Dorothy McGuire, Ray Walston and Pat Morita. In a plot reminiscent of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest;" a group of senior citizens led by Douglas rebel against a cold nurse and her staff.
Douglas plays the title character, a fiercely independent senior-citizen baseball coach, forced to live in a retirement home after an auto accident. During his stay, Amos conducts a battle of wills with overbearing head nurse Daisy Dawes (Montgomery). Besides losing his freedom and having to put up with her rules Amos suspects, that Dawes has been systematically murdering her more troublesome charges.
The film is an exploration of the real issues faced by our nation's senior citizens, Amos is a shattering drama of the horror of helplessness. Kirk Douglas said after shooting the movie; "The abuses in the script shocked me...I assumed they had been exaggerated for dramatic purposes. I was devastated when I found out that the reverse is true..." The story which Douglas brings to life so vividly is a celebration of sacrifice, courage, and the triumph of humanity. - Liner Notes
Kirk Douglas is great, and he injects some humor and life into a film that could have been rather drab and melancholy.

Mommy II: Mommy's Day (1996) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Aside from a ludicrous scene early on depicting a lethal injection sentence being carried out in what looks like a nurse's office in a suburban elementary school (which, as we find out in the commentary track, was actually filmed in a church basement!), "Mommy 2" is an entertaining, clever thriller, and a good follow-up to "Mommy". I especially liked how writer/director Max Collins didn't give us more of the same. Whereas "Mommy" was more of a horror thriller about a deranged mother, "Mommy 2" is essentially a straight-up murder mystery, where Patty McCormack's "Mommy" character- supposedly rehabilitated through the wonders of modern chemistry- is just one of many suspects in a series of brutal killings. In addition to the well-told mystery story, the DVD emulates the first "Mommy" DVD and includes a load of extras, my favorite of which is a terrific commentary track featuring Mr. Collins and his actors and crew. And, hey-- when you're done with the "Mommy" films, be sure to check out Mr. Collins' latest DVD thriller, "Real Time: Siege at Lucas Street Market". Story and extras wise, it's a blast, maybe his best DVD yet.

Kate's Addiction (1999) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Okay, when I saw the trailer I couldn't wait to see it. Although I'm a fan of WINGS, I really like the idea of two hot women together. Now that I've seen the movie, I'm more convinced than ever that I should be making these movies instead of the jabones who are making them now. The plot was decent, but it was erratic, and uneven. Too often I felt like the filmmaker strung clips together. Once the movie got going, I sort of got into it. Kari Wuhrer is as beautiful as she is convincing in the role of the psycho. When the two did finally meet, it was too short, too R, and not steamy enough. I mean, come on. You have two gorgeous actresses--let them act! Overall, the movie was a letdown. It could have, and should have been so much more.

Black Widow (1987) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You can just about forget everyone else in this film other than Debra Winger and Theresa Russell. This sexy film is basically a two person film noir shot in bright colors, some of it in Hawaii. It is filled with excitement and seduction. Both the leads are wonderful to watch, their chemistry magnificent in this Bob Rafelson (Man Trouble, Five Easy Pieces) film.
Debra Winger is Alex Barnes, bogged down in a government desk job dealing with statistics. But when she sees a pattern of deaths that lead to Theresa Russell, a dangerously beautiful woman with ice in her veins, she becomes obsessed with catching a killer. Theresa Russell, who has used more names than Jason Bourne, is just as smart as she is sexy, and almost the entire film is one long seduction scene as Russell spins her web around Alex.
It seems a lot of rich men have suddenly died on Russell and Alex knows why. She is what is called a Black Widow, a woman who mates and then kills. No one has found any evidence to prove it, however, and Alex's attempt to catch her at it becomes murky as a seduction begins to take place.
The locations and the stars are beautiful and as Winger and Russell circle each other in this game with deadly stakes you can't take your eyes off them. Winger's Alex is smart and determined, but vulnerable, and Russell gives a flawless and sexy performance as a smart and icy beauty with a heart full of venom.
The electricity between the two characters jumps off the screen. The pool scene where they first meet gives us an indication of what is to come as Alex attempts to get close to Russell, with some unexpected twists. The formost of these is a scene when Alex gives Russell a Black Widow pendant, a spider who mates and kills its lover. Russell's response plays with the fragile but determined Alex as she begins to doubt herself.
You don't want to miss this one. It's gorgeous to look at and has two riveting performances from Winger and Russell. You can't find a better one than this.
