The Hooters remain one of the most under-rated and talented musical groups to emerge from the 80's...this concert film will give the viewer a glimpse as to why. While many of the 80's bands sunk into a techno-bubblegum-pop sound, The Hooters stood by their rock and roll roots. Unlike today's artists, they actually were talented enough to not only play all their own instruments, but write all their own songs, and have a live sound that at times surpassed any work done in the studio. This video is definitely a hard find, but is worth searching out if you're a fan. The video also includes two videos from their fist album "Nervous Night" - The "..And We Danced" video is exceptionally spectacular, as it was filmed at the now long-gone Exton Drive-In Theater in Pennsylvania. A classic find for any fan of good the old-fashioned talented music that used to exist before the Britney's took over!

This flick honestly looks as if it was made on $1.98 budget! The acting is so far sub-par it makes Keanu Reeves seem like Robert DeNero...The lighting (which is amazingly annoying once you get 5 minutes into the film) looks as if it was done with a few Bic lighters...The "special effects" look as if they may have been done in a 4th grade art class...The ending will not only leave the viewer scratching his drunken (hopefully) head, but come up with at least 10 alternate endings that would have been soooo much better! Why would One not only own (as I do) or rent this flick? It's honestly so, so bad - it borders on being good! If you're a fan of very, very, very low budget 70's horror flicks or the Drive-In Theater, this baby is for you! If not, you will find yourself losing more brain cells by the minute then Cheech & Chong did during the entire decade of the 70's! Final note: This movie was co-written by George "Buck" Flower, whom unfortunately I just found out passed away in 2004...Rest in Peace George, and please, don't let this be the movie that you'll be remembered for...

It is completely impossible to narrow down the best episodes of this classic TV series...everything about it (writing, acting, production values) is leaps and bounds above anything around today! That being said, since the Christmas season is approaching, Serling made two holiday episodes that are worth taking the time to watch all over again: "The Night of the Meek" with Art Carney and (my personal favorite) "The Changing of the Guard" with Donald Pleasance. Both are timeless classics, and show a very sentimental side to the Twilight Zone...Every year at the holiday season I like to sit back and take these episodes in; they get better and better with each repeated viewing! Merry Christmas & Enjoy!

It took them 5 tries - but they finally got it right! I'm not a huge fan of sequels, especially when the first picture was such a breakthrough (i.e.: Halloween) but this one seems to have hit the mark...It has some honest-to-goodness good scares, some well-needed humor, and a soundtrack featuring Alice Cooper...what more could you ask for? All this and one HOT 80's chick in the lead role!

This has to be the best sequel to this series that I have seen...If you're a fan Check out part 7....if you're into these flicks it's quite entertaining...otherwise, do yourself a favor and skip the other lame-o sequels!

This is a VERY under-rated film that seems to have disappeared from the video shelves & will never see the likes of a DVD release...what a shame! As you may have read from previous reviews, this movie really has a hard time fitting into one category...but at the same time, the story draws you in & you find yourself identifying with many of the characters...I, myself, have never seen a copy of the unrated version (The version I have is from a WPIX New York broadcast from around 1985) but this doesn't deter from the impact this movie has on the viewer...Some type of strange social commentary? A semi-slasher-revenge plot? Actually - who knows & who cares...almost 30 years after it's release the movie is very entertaining, accomplishes what it set out to do, and is a wonderful exercise in 70's exploitation...only a few rungs higher when it comes to plot & acting...I give this flick a 5 star "groovy" ~ Let yourself go & enjoy the ride...

PS: The only thing to watch out for & skip at all costs is the lame...did I say LAME theme song from the opening & ending credits...If you already don't - this will make you want to wish that the 70's never happened (But it did...It DID...!) "You're at the crossroads of your life...the crossroads of your life and you are..." AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!

I'm lucky enough to say that I own a copy of this movie, taped very late one night a long time ago. Upon repeated viewings, the movie still stands the test of time! Paul Michael Glazer is excellent as Harry Houdini, but that's only the tip of the iceberg with this wonderful cast...Sally Struthers plays the role of Harry's wife (both young & old) very convincingly, Vivian Vance is perfect as the nurse (bringing quite a bit of humor to the role), Adrienne Barbeau is as sultry as ever but brings a lot of heart to her role, Bill Bixby - although in the movie only briefly - is very believable as the Medium trying to contact Houdini's ghost, hell - even Peter Cushing gets in on the action! The best role by far was played by the late Ruth Gordon, who should have gotten much more notoriety for her role as Houdini's mother...WHAT A CAST! Aside from all of that is a very interesting (and at times VERY scary) story not to mention a wonderful love story! Why isn't this movie out on DVD?!? If at all possible, do yourself a favor and watch this one if fortunate enough to get a chance! EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY!

Zapped has only two redeeming values...the fact that it showcases the talents of the late, great Scatman Crothers (NOT a pinnacle of his career) and more importantly...the big screen debut of the lovely Miss Heather Thomas. Other than that, this movie is best watched after many, many beers...even then it may not be watchable. The story is a soft-core porno meets an ABC after-school special...lotsa boobs, extremely bad story-line, a "Star Trek" sequence that must be seen to be believed (or disbelieved!)...But somehow the 10 minutes that Heather Thomas graces the screen makes it all seem worthwhile...Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Skip the lame sequel at all costs! (Even Linda Blair doesn't save it!)

As Scott Baio's father asks him: "Son, are you on dope?" - - you'd have to be to enjoy this one!

This, my friends, in when porn was porn...Suzie Superstar looked as if it actually may have had a budget & writers who knew how to write a story! Shauna Grant is truly one of the most beautiful performers that has ever worked in the adult industry & although she couldn't act her way out of a paper bag, you can see that she's giving it her best shot in this one... For those of you interested in this type of film, this is a very good study in the type of "story + porno" films Burt Reynolds was trying so hard to make in "Boogie Nights" It's also highly recommended to any fans of Shauna Grant, a shining star who burned out too quickly...it would be interesting to see what she would be doing today had things been different...hmmm.

Great early 80's porno...again, they just don't make them like that anymore!

I first saw this movie at the local drive-in as part of a double bill with "Eyeball" - What a complete laugh-fest! The "acting" and production values are definitely par for the course for Al Adamson (In one scene alone is it daytime or night - or just blue filter over the camera lens? Who cares? Apparently not Mr. Adamson) I had to buy this one as soon as I found a copy and now that it's on DVD, I highly recommend this to any fans of the genre...I think it's Al Adamson's...uhhh...masterpiece (?!) One that truly has to be seen to be believed...

Oh yeah! Jill Jacobson's breasts should have had their own credit in the movie (if you know what I mean) Whatever happened to Jill Jacobson??

I'm lucky enough to have a copy of this on video! It's Tracy Lords at her best! Besides the stunning Miss Lords, it also boasts the great "talents" of the late John Holmes, Stacey Donovan, and Little Oral Annie! As far as any plot goes, there isn't any (Hey! this is porn we're talking about...) but I defy today's adult movies to top the snack-bar scene, where Traci's having a little trouble with her roller skates..."all it needed was a good screw" Don Fernando tells tells Traci after fixing the problem, cue the cheesy 80's porno music, & let the sparks fly! Dirk Diggler would be proud! It looked as if it was filmed at a real Drive In snack bar, and after all that happens, I'm not sure I'd ever want to buy my popcorn from there again!

The Drive In is the perfect backdrop for all this fun, and I wish I had the chance to see this gem through a windshield on a nice starry night...(what would be the second feature?!) Anyway, if this type of movie is your preference, by all means - check this one out! Terrible acting, horrible music, beautiful women & the Drive In...This is 80's porn at it's finest! It's a shame they don't make them like this anymore
