Ecstasies Of Women was a long lost Sexploitation flick from director <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Herschell%20Gordon%20Lewis">Herschell Gordon Lewis</a> until very recently when it was finally found and released on DVD for all us dirt-bags.<br />
<br />

While it may not be the best example of a Sexploitation movie or even a Herschell Gordon Lewis film for that matter it does have some kind of bizarre charm like so many other films from the director.<br />
<br />
The Ecstasies Of Women is sort of a anti-marriage film. This one follows a goofy looking prick named Harry who is about to be married in a few days. Harry and his pals go out to the local Go-Go titty-bar for one last drunken night of debauchery. Harry goes in and out of consciousness as he drunkenly sits in the sleazy boob-joint and dreams/fantasizes about various different women and the crazy sex-capades he would indulge in with them.<br />

The story is simple and stupid. It has an odd combination of unintentional and intended humor which is typical of the great H.G. Lewis. Fans of 60's Sexploitation should not be let down by the massive amounts of giant jugs on display in this one. While I usually prefer my 60's smut a little more on the violent side, this one still makes for a decent time waster. While the dialogue does tend to get a bit annoying at times, especially in the beginning, there is still enough silliness and bad acting to keep us B movie guys entertained. One of the highlights is Harry's smooth talking hippie friend who looks more like a business man in some really dumb fashionable get-up. Or at least I guess it was fashionable for 1969!? This guy is a total jack-ass. Come to think of it, everyone in the movie is kinda a dork.<br />
<br />
I guess if you have some kind of crazy plans of getting married this one might do the trick. I guess the over all message is that there are too many fish in the sea. Well there are also too many crappy exploitation movies out there. With that being said I take my hat off to the Godfather Of Gore, Herschell Gordon Lewis for yet again delivering a total piece of trash without any shame.<br />
<br />
Well perhaps there was a slight bit of shame considering he is credited as "Mark Hansen" on this one. <br />

House Of Secrets is another example of a bad movie about a man who attains a mansion in the will of a deceased relative. Why did they feel the need to use this plot over and over again? Its almost as if producers from the 30's up until the 70's were like... Okay lets make a really boring movie. I know, lets do the ole inheritance thing again. That will be sure to bore the audience.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Unlike most of the other films that bare this old tired plot, House Of Secrets is not a haunted house movie and there is no murderous phantom roaming around through secret passages while strategically knocking off the characters. This one is nothing more then a crime mystery which takes place in an old mansion.<br />
<br />
When a street smart American inherits an old house in England he is kept off of his own property by a woman who he falls in love with at first sight. The pretty blond and her father have been holding up in The House Of Secrets and refuse to allow the new owner of the home entry into his estate. Next a bunch of gangsters pop up and further keep the man away. When the police step into the matter they too give him a hard time and do everything in their will to keep him off of his own property. Its not until our unlucky main man bumps into a fellow American friend who happens to be a detective who helps him learn the mystery of The House Of Secrets.<br />
<br />

The whole thing is pretty forgettable and there is really nothing interesting happening. The movie is extremely repetitive and it becomes annoying very early on. The entire movie pretty much consists of our main character trying to get into his mansion and then being forced off of the property in various different ways. While it is supposed to be a mystery/drama it comes off more comedic then anything else with the unbarring repetition. I personally spent more time watching the time run thru on my DVD players digital interface then looking at the screen. That's how boring this one really is. The dialogue is filled with typical 1930's jargon and I suppose that might get a chuckle or two out of some viewers but the characters are predictable and over all they are pretty lame.<br />
<br />
House Of Secrets is filled with one cliche after another and unless you need a sedative I would recommend staying away from this one. Its a sleeper.<br />

I guess with a title like Prison Girls and such an amazing poster most would have guessed that this is a pretty trashy movie and they would of course be right. Like just about every other movie in the <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Women%20In%20Prison">women in prison genre</a> Prison Girls focuses on sex and great abundance of naked flesh. However the thing that separates this one from most of the other women in prison films is that this one is basically a soft core porn.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHgqx_QSo_F6A-6GnBv2KlmmTyC_-YkKqmupy6vuGSEBFKkxfbRs0nQl7OvjGECcbLqjKpOzqLvaBV3n4RWgCuGm35MhTxC8HHN0grdZl-WKkjYfEgM_APX1Aip6pRw1iV9pKsbZT-ll-u/s1600/prison+girls+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHgqx_QSo_F6A-6GnBv2KlmmTyC_-YkKqmupy6vuGSEBFKkxfbRs0nQl7OvjGECcbLqjKpOzqLvaBV3n4RWgCuGm35MhTxC8HHN0grdZl-WKkjYfEgM_APX1Aip6pRw1iV9pKsbZT-ll-u/s200/prison+girls+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
I never liked using the words "soft-core porn". When I hear those words I think of bad late 80's early 90's shot on video crap. For me most <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Sexploitation">Sexploitation flicks</a> fit into a different genre but this one truly is as close as you get to porn without quite crossing that boundary. Prison Girls also known as Prison Girls In 3-D barely even takes place in a prison. In the first ten minutes we are treated to an all out brawl in the prison showers. Its all out breasts and bush in this spectacle of 70's smut but in the very next scene the girls are given a weekend pass out of the prison. A weekend pass? What the fuck is that? Anyway 99% of the film takes place outside of the woman's prison. Now of course this doesn't mean that there is going to be any less naked flesh but naturally we wont be seeing anymore group showers or food fights or women being hosed down when they get out of line like in most other women in prison flicks.<br />

This one comes from director Tom DeSimone. This guy is A-Okay in my book. With so many cool titles to his name like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Terror%20In%20The%20Jungle">Terror In The Jungle</a> and <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Hell%20Night">Hell Night</a> it is hard to believe he turned out such a turd with this one. I mean the man has done quite a few women in prison flicks, some of which are personal favorites in the genre like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Reform%20School%20Girls">Reform School Girls</a> but this one just slacks in so many different areas. For starters this one seems like it is a foreign film. Uschi Digard shows up with her giant melons on display and her constant awkward smile that she is known and loved for and the entire film is so poorly dubbed it makes a Hong Kong Kung-Fu flick look like a major Hollywood production. While this isn't necessarily a bad thing it does serve to make the whole viewing experience all the more strange. The plot... if you can call it that is as bad as it gets. None of the characters are very likeable and the dialogue is equally as terrible. The sex scenes are very confusing with an over abundance of talky-talk and most of the girls here are not much to look at.<br />
<br />
The best scene in the entire film showcases a biker gang that forces a man to rape the woman he loves. When it is all said and done the guy seems really proud of what he did and I can't help but be reminded of the character of Matthew in I Spit On Your Grave. "I did it! I really did." Its too bad the rest of the movie didn't focus on the sleazy biker trash. There is also a very small subplot about a bank robber who is on the run but that is all very uninteresting and in the end they try to make up for all the nonsense with some stupid moralistic dialogue which also comes off ridiculous and not needed.<br />
<br />
I could have skipped this one all together and just have stuck with a better film from the genre but that's how it goes when you have a life long dedication to trash cinema.<br />

The Devil Inside Her was the first horror-porn I ever saw. Back in my teenage years when I got my first apartment, an older punk rock dude showed me this movie. I have to admit it was weird at the time watching a porno film with another guy but the movie itself blew my mind. All these years later I finally found my own copy and it is probably among my all time favorites in the satanic-porn genre.<br />
<br />

Obviously cashing in on the success of Gerard Damiano's classic <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Devil%20In%20Miss%20Jones">The Devil In Miss Jones</a>. This one is far more gritty and almost a bit disturbing. Vile images of depraved sexuality and debauchery fill the running time for this one. It never gets slow or boring with almost non stop satanic sex.<br />
<br />
This one is set back in the 1800's on a farm. Faith and Hope are two sisters who love the same man but their domineering, bible bumping father does not approve of their lustful ways. When daddy catches Faith innocently kissing the man she loves he forces her to strip naked while he whips her with a switch from the ground. "Strip naked before god and show him your shame". When Hope learns that her sister is planning on marrying lover-boy she prays to the devil and offers her soul. She gets what she bargains for when a demon appears with some of the most disturbing cock-rings attached to his genitals. The rest of the movie is demonic possession and sex orgies with plenty of shape shifting and appearance changing. The demon takes the form of just about every character in the movie and tricks them all into a life of deviation.<br />

I love this movie. It has a cool blasphemous plot and some really sick and twisted scenes. As I mentioned the demon wears some absurd cock-rings and its almost painful to watch him violently stretch his genitals. He also comes complete with some really bad KISS makeup. Then we have an old witch who is covered in warts and she gets in on the sexy action as well. In one of the grossest scenes a woman lay naked in the mud while masturbating with vegetables. I would imagine there was a yeast infection at the very least after this scene. Another great moment shows a man swinging from a tree while a horny nymph blows his dangling body. Annie Sprinkles shows up in a satanic orgy, we have fisting, golden showers, interracial sex, incest, lesbianism and just about any other depraved sex act you can think of. There is even a vicious dog that attacks a religious man. <br />

I highly recommend this one to anyone who digs nasty porno movies from the 70's. If you like movies like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Through%20The%20Looking%20Glass">Through The Looking Glass</a> or of course The Devil In Miss Jones then this one is perfect. I know it is available on multiple DVD labels but I have the old Something Weird Video VHS double feature with Count Erotica - Vampire which I have not gotten around to seeing yet. Not sure if the DVD's have been remastered or anything but the old VHS is as gritty and grainy as they get. Personally the grit and grain works perfectly for me. I wouldn't really want to see a polished print of this thing. The Devil Inside Her is as filthy as they get. While it might not be the best option for some sexy alone time it certainly makes for a great party flick to shock your friends with.<br />

Here's another real weird one from Jean Rollin. In fact it is so weird it is hard to say what exactly the director was trying to do here. Is it a comedy? Is it an action movie? Is it a thriller? I guess its a bit of everything.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Schoolgirl Hitchhikers plays a lot like a 60's Roughie but since it is shot in color and came out in the sick sick 70's it comes off more as a confused mess of a sexploitation flick.<br />
<br />
The paper thin plot follows two girls who enter what they believe to be an abandoned house. Its only a mater of minutes before the two little nymphos are stripping nude and rolling around in a bed together. Eventually the girls learn that they are not alone in the house when they bump into Frank, a jewels thief who is hiding out in the old house while he waits for his fellow crime buddies. Of course the two girls get it on with Frank and all seems pretty cute and tame until Franks friends show up and the stolen jewels are missing from Franks hiding spot. Naturally the two sex crazed girls are blamed for the disappearance and the hard earned criminals take turns torturing the gals between knife point rape sessions.<br />
<br />

This makes for a pretty typical 1970's rape revenge plot but there is nothing typical about this one. Instead it comes off a bit like a comedy with ridiculously silly music playing of the scenes of savagery. Then we have a couple of bumbling idiots for police officers. They kind of just sit around and watch the violence being committed. One of the dumb cops is played by a miniskirt clad chick with pigtails and in case you haven't guessed she gets the old rape treatment as well. This one offers up some riding crop violence with a naked babe being whipped repeatedly and even some booby twisting with what appears to be some kind of fireplace instrument. There is also a bit of hot poker action and what has to be one of the weirdest shoot-out scenes to ever plague the big screens. The whole thing is a bit to strange to explain. It goes from being really artsy to a bit violent but it is all drawn out in such a silly manner.<br />
<br />
Yet again I am not overly big on a Jean Rollin film but fans of his work might dig this one because there is still the typical Rollin sleepy moments that play like some surreal dream or something. Not really to much to recommend in this one aside from how weird it all is. I'm still confused!<br />

My Teenage Daughter also known as Keyhole is a Swedish porno film shot in Denmark. It tries really hard to be different from the other porno films that were coming out around this time but ends up a typical run of the mill fuck-film from the golden age of smut.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUnDGvuY6LHr_WY3YlCS1ZhHf5M_gs638EBBfFOW4Fzz_CJTVOr0kK7fX9lmnX0bjNBny7XEA25kg8tBl2rOdtGj_H7j4ZosIMFzAGdVU7XBdTvtTq7wpgM2ab7crP10ehUjTwf1Nen5K/s1600/my+teenage+daughter+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPUnDGvuY6LHr_WY3YlCS1ZhHf5M_gs638EBBfFOW4Fzz_CJTVOr0kK7fX9lmnX0bjNBny7XEA25kg8tBl2rOdtGj_H7j4ZosIMFzAGdVU7XBdTvtTq7wpgM2ab7crP10ehUjTwf1Nen5K/s200/my+teenage+daughter+5.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
A porno producer hires a man to write a script for his new movie with the exception that it will be unlike any other porno film around. The producer wants it to be realistic and believable. Sounds boring right? Well the writer takes on the job but little does the producer know, that the new writer is dating his daughter Mette. Mette comes up with the idea to base the story off of her parents perverse life. Together the couple sneak around and spy on Mette's parents, friends and business associates. I guess Denmark really was sexually liberated because these people are a bunch of swinging deviates.<br />
<br />
The story itself is quite basic and you can tell they tried really hard to make a realistic film. Between the dialogue and the way people act seems like normal every day life. That is of course aside from all the sex that is going on. The main problem with this movie is that normal every day life doesn't make for a good cinematic experience. There is one pretty funny sex scene that is sped up in something that is oddly reminiscent of the threesome scene in A Clockwork Orange. The leading lady in this one is pretty nice to look at and I wouldn't mind seeing more of her in the future.<br />
<br />
The copy I picked up of this was very blurry. It also seemed to have been cut as well and possibly missing something at the end of the film. This also might have made the movie a bit less entertaining. In the end what we get is another porno film from the 70's with a good looking lead actress. That's about it.<br />

<a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Herschell%20Gordon%20Lewis">Herschell Gordon Lewis</a> has delved into so many different genres. Of course he is most famous for his early gore films like Blood Feast and Two Thousand Maniacs but he has dipped his feet into just about every exploitation sub genre known to man. He did nudist camp films like Natures Playmates. Sexploitation trash like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Alley%20Tramp">The Alley Tramp</a>. Hillbilly horrors like This Stuff'll Kill Ya. Biker films like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/She%20Devils%20On%20Wheels">She Devils On Wheels</a>. Juvenile delinquent stuff like Just For The Hell Of It. I can go on and on but I'm sure you get the point. With this one he offers up a sexploitation flick in the form of a western.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPq5zNsS5lyUxpVnj_4NfJW0Xfe5-Pd8JPgkOmOH4ON-cjiGflSOEyaow2aR6JHeslR3CLQQOr4lC7odZkZ4W08YdCg4Uz-DSwfRk84RT3i1VMTbt5dYXKlirWDbYacJhIwSLTIRakW-yt/s1600/linda+and+abilene+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPq5zNsS5lyUxpVnj_4NfJW0Xfe5-Pd8JPgkOmOH4ON-cjiGflSOEyaow2aR6JHeslR3CLQQOr4lC7odZkZ4W08YdCg4Uz-DSwfRk84RT3i1VMTbt5dYXKlirWDbYacJhIwSLTIRakW-yt/s200/linda+and+abilene+6.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
This one starts off a bit slow and it takes quite a while before we even have any dialogue but eventually it gets into the warped tale of a incest, lesbianism and murder.<br />
<br />
A brother and sister attend their parents funeral and are left to tend to the farm and house on their own and I'm sure their parents wouldn't be proud of them when the siblings start spying on each other in various states of undress. Both of them lust after the other and they have sleepless nights of a masturbation with dirty incestuous thoughts. Eventually they give in to their desires and its not long before they are humping all over the house, farm and creek. Things turn sour when big brother takes off to the nearest town for a night of liquor and ladies. A dude at the bar named "Rawhide" over hears a conversation between big brother and a local hooker about how he left little sister home all alone. Naturally Rawhide heads over to the farm-house where he will indulge in a night of rape.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd3XhKftBXAxxvLeHaG-CQXNMQklZwO4RLyU4dnmKYXaveARRAZ5RjW8WaiUneF9Z7Trkk6rL3BBVgN76T7QWL_nrjSUDILu8lUhdYYviqXXoF1feSs28mAa3vxASGoCJTLIVHw-WbyqLm/s1600/linda+and+abilene+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd3XhKftBXAxxvLeHaG-CQXNMQklZwO4RLyU4dnmKYXaveARRAZ5RjW8WaiUneF9Z7Trkk6rL3BBVgN76T7QWL_nrjSUDILu8lUhdYYviqXXoF1feSs28mAa3vxASGoCJTLIVHw-WbyqLm/s200/linda+and+abilene+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
When big brother comes home to the aftermath of his beloved sisters rape he promptly decides to kill Rawhide. So I guess it is also a rape/revenge flick too. The whole revenge thing comes off rather rushed and it all comes to an anticlimactic and abrupt ending.<br />
<br />
The main problem with this flick aside from its boring beginning is that there just isn't enough naked flesh in it. There are only two girls in the entire movie and after a while we get tired of seeing the naked frolic scenes. However there are some truly awesomely awkward moments in here like the churning butter montage. We watch bro and sis join hands and jerk-off a barrel of butter. Who thinks this stuff up?<br />
<br />
Linda And Abilene was thought to be long lost but lucky for all us Herschell Gordon Lewis fanatics it was recently found. Not the best movie in the world but fans of Lewis are used to that sort of thing. Check it out for fun with lesbians, incest, rape/revenge and of course butter churning.<br />

Personally I am a fan of The Blind Dead movies but this one is by far the worst of the bunch. This time around the skeletal, Templar-Zombies are aboard an old ghost-ship which is apparently "in a different dimension". Some bikini models are lured out of the fog and into the old-time galleon where the zombified Templars will feast on their flesh. Trust me, it sounds a lot better then it really is.<br />
<br />
The main problem with this installment in the series is that there is way to much talky talk and not enough violence and gore. The whole thing tends to get a bit tiring with endless scenes of creeping around the old ship and constant chit chat.<br />

<a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Jesus%20Franco">Jesus Franco</a> veteran Jack Taylor shows up in this one as the mastermind behind a publicity stunt that is supposed to bring the models wealth and fame but he seems to come off more like a crime-lord. The truth is that his character doesn't bring much to this film either. It all comes off pretty weird and confused and in the end it makes for a pretty forgettable experience. The only things worth noting in the film is a couple of bikini clad bimbos and of course the awesome looking zombies themselves. There is a bit of gore in a decapitation scene where we watch the Templar's munch on the flesh of a pretty blond girl but other then that even the zombies seem pretty confused. Wait... If these guys are hungry for human flesh why did they just throw that girls body overboard? Maybe they have some pals down there on the ocean floor like in Lucio Fulci's Zombi.<br />
<br />
Ghost Galleon is only worth owning for those who want to complete their Blind Dead collection. It is offered on many public domain DVD packs for about a dollar and that is probably all it is worth.<br />

Lars Von Trier the director of <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Antichrist">Antichrist (2009)</a> yet again paints a depressing picture. While I haven't seen any other films from Von Trier aside from this and Antichrist, I think its safe to say if there is anything that he is good at it is artistically portraying depression and humans emotional turmoil.<br />
<br />

Like Quentin Tarantino's KIll Bill, Nymphomaniac was broken down into two separate volumes. This was done because of the ridiculously long runtime. Clocking in somewhere around five and a half hours long in its uncut form, Nymphomaniac does exactly what the title hints at. It follows the life long struggles of a sex addicted woman who has lived a life of lust, pleasure, pain and despair. Was it necessary for the movie to run over five hours long? Of course not but you know how these artsy-fartsy guys are... Nymphomaniac does come off a bit self indulgent but I think it still makes for an interesting watch, especially if you are into art type films.<br />

The thing that I liked the most about this movie is the same thing I liked about Antichrist. There is this sort of rebellious vibe that flows thru the dark storyline. Lars Von Trier is not afraid to break the rules. Nymphomaniac breaks just about every rule you can think of. Every taboo is laid out in front of us and the film forces the viewer to confront these sensitive issues first hand. As the film progresses it gets darker and darker until it comes to somewhat of a predictable ending. We deal with child sexuality, masturbation, the loss of virginity, interracial sex, incest, necrophilia, sadomasochism, pedophilia, lesbianism, murder and many more taboo subjects.<br />

The final product is shocking, sexy, disturbing and very very depressing. It is shocking in its subject mater with very outrageous scenes that most directors wouldn't even dream of shooting. It is sexy with its artistic sex scenes. Apparently Nymphomaniac was originally intended to be an all out porno film. While it still holds onto many pornographic images it comes off more like a sexy art film. It can be very disturbing at times with some really sick and uncomfortable scenes. The main one that sticks in mind well after viewing it is the incredibly graphic home abortion scene. This scene is graphic enough to turn the stomach of the most jaded horror fanatic. Lastly it is pretty damn depressing. The entire movie gives a sense of hopelessness. The constant downbeat tone makes Nymphomaniac a stand out entry in cinema.<br />

I have read many negative reviews on this one, mainly from sniveling cry-babies who don't like the fact that there is pornographic material inside. All I can say to those wimps is, go watch a fucking Disney movie or something. I'm not even trying to say Nymphomaniac is a masterpiece or anything. It certainly has its flaws but it is still way more interesting then 90 percent of the watered down crap that comes out these days. I give credit where it is due and if for nothing else I would like to applaud Van Trier for not being another sappy ass-whipe who just wants to please the masses. If the film offends you... Good! I'm glad someone out there doesn't mind hurting your weak little feelings. I found it to be intelligent, with excellent thought provoking dialogue which at the very least is informative on strange subjects I would probably never have read into on my own. It is also pretty nice to look at with very nice camera work blended with a melancholy soundtrack. I am looking forward to seeing more from this man.<br />

One-Armed Swordsman is a groundbreaking Kung Fu film released by the Shaw Brothers. Heavily influenced by the Japanese <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Samurai">Samurai Films</a>. It is also the first of all the cripple-kung-fu films. Due to its subject mater of a one-armed martial artist it was also the movie that made it okay to show blood & gore in Kung Fu films.<br />

This one follows a young man with the really cool name of Fang Kang who's father was killed while protecting his teacher against a gang of kung-fuers. His father leaves Fang a sword which is broken in half and the grateful teacher takes the young boy under his wing and trains him in the ways of martial arts. Fang Kang isn't exactly excepted by his teachers disciples and in an argument gone wrong his fellow brothers and teachers daughter choose to sear off Fangs arm. This gory scene was probably pretty shocking for Chinese audiences back in the 60's. The blood squirts all over the place as our hero stumbles thru the snow with a severed limb.<br />

Our One-Armed hero is brought back to health by a horny farm-girl who allows Fang to practice martial arts and master the techniques as a one-armed lefty. Its not long before Fang is slicing thru his enemies, chopping hands off and throwing arrows thru opponents heads. Throughout the film Fang struggles with the idea of living a peaceful life as a farmer or to be a bad-ass who can break any man in half with the use of only one arm. Luckily for us he seems to lean more towards the more violent life.<br />

One thing that makes this one so much different from the average Kung Fu flick is the fact that our main character is never seeking out revenge. In fact he fights his final battle to protect the ones who did him wrong. He even saves the life of the bitch who cut his arm off. Fang Kang has got to be one of the most forgiving and righteous characters in cinematic history. At times it almost gets annoying. You just want to see him take his stump of a sword and get some vengeance but that never happens. <br />
<br />
One-Armed Swordsman would spawn a few sequels, remakes and ripoffs. It would also inspire films like The Cripple Masters and The Crippled Avengers. While the Kung Fu might not be overly amazing in this one the bloody mayhem and influential style makes it a must see for fans of Kung Fu films and the Samurai genre. Its a perfect blend!<br />

The lame-brains behind this crap-fest attempts to go back in history and look at the origins of the zombie film. Well they do go back and look at stuff like White Zombie and even a bit of the 50's stuff like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Invisible%20Invaders">Invisible Invaders</a> then of course it brings us to the George A. Romero flesh eating zombies of modern day. What it fails to do is mention any of the rare cult films in the genre. No mention of people like Lucio Fulci or the Tombs Of The Blind Dead or Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. Instead it sticks with the oh so familiar Hollywood zombie films that the teens at the local mall probably have saved on their cellphones and the retarded zombie-loving youth who go on zombie-walks and do zombie car washes. God help us! As if this wasn't all bad enough Doc Of The Dead is jam packed with the worst music I have ever heard in my life. We get a bunch of shitty songs and really awful comedy segments with typical zombie film cliches. How about you show some cool scenes from the few good zombie films there are out there?<br />
<br />
Personally I think the zombie genre as a whole is complete shit. Of course there are some great movies in the genre, like Romero's films and some of the splattery 80's stuff like <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Re-Animator">Re-Animator</a> but no other genre has ever spawned so much crap. Any dick-head with a camera chooses to make a zombie flick as their first feature. All they need is a cellphone and few equally retarded friends. Even the slasher genre has not spawned as much embarrassing shit.<br />
<br />
The thing I found most interesting about this thing was that all of the old timers like Romero and Tom Savini are on the same page as me. They don't understand this obsession with zombies and these are the few guys who did it right. What is a zombie fan anyway? Is it someone who likes horror movies? Of course not! They are dumb teeny-boppers who discovered The Walking Dead on television and delved into some of the modern crap like Shaun Of The Dead or worse yet these crappy cgi infested zombie movies that they shit out every other day into our equally crappy multiplexes.<br />
<br />
Wash off your zombie makeup, take that dumb bumper sticker off of your car and throw away your zombie survival guide. For anyone who are into the classic zombie films from the good ole days, don't waste your time with Doc Of The Dead.<br />

Sappy Hollywood love stories is usually not my bag but this one is a bit different. The nihilistic and downbeat vibe makes Leaving Las Vegas an interesting watch.<br />

Nicolas Cage portrays a shattered man who heads to Las Vegas with plans of drinking himself to death. Literally! He bumps into a prostitute played by Elisabeth Shue who is equally damaged. Together the couple try their best to except one another for who they are and try to look past each others flaws. This is pretty hard to do when one has no desire to live outside a shabby relationship in Las Vegas. Nicolas Cage is great as the drunken lunatic he depicts. Aside from <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Barfly">Barfly</a>, I can not think of another film that showcases a helpless alcoholic in such an entertaining manner. Come to think of it Leaving Las Vegas and Barfly would probably make for a pretty good double feature.<br />
<br />

We get plenty of drunken antics including falling thru glass tables, wake & shake withdrawals and just a whole slew of alchy ridiculousness. Elisabeth Shue does get topless for the cameras which is also not a bad thing and there are a few other naked ladies on display as well. This one sports some really twisted characters and when it is all said and done it is not your average romance flick. Sure you can enjoy this one with your best girl especially if you are into doomed Bonnie & Clyde type characters but I would imagine that Leaving Las Vegas would go best with people who like to drink. While this one might be a bit more dramatic then Barfly it still holds some of that comedic charm.<br />

Boring title for a boring movie. This 1930's sleeper is kinda like a really crappy version of <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Old%20Dark%20House">The Old Dark House</a>. A group of annoying men are trapped in a rain storm and take refuge in the nearest house. Naturally the house is a giant mansion occupied by more obnoxious characters.<br />

It turns out that the visitors will become a personal project for the mansions occupants. They have written a horror play and without the newcomers knowledge they act out the script. Ghosts pop up and people run about in what comes off like a bad Abbot and Costello impersonation. We end up with a classic example of the-boy-who-cried-wolf when a real murderer pops up and starts killing the house guests. The guests think its all just another prank until the films climax when we see the killers face for the first time. The biggest problem with this public domain oldie is that the audio is so muffled that we can barley hear the dialogue. Throw in some really blurry and washed out black & white images and the whole thing becomes a drag. Perhaps if there were a slightly better print this thing might be more watchable but I highly doubt it.<br />

This not so amazing documentary takes us thru the short life and times of Andy Warhol "superstar" Candy Darling.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Loosing his/her life at 30 years old to cancer Candy Darling lead an interesting life to say the least. This transgendered barbie doll thought of herself as a sex symbol and a superstar but the reality of Candy Darling's short life was a bit of a downer. Having songs written about her by Lou Reed and being a staple player in Andy Warhol's factory of freaks, Candy lead a fast paced life of sex, drugs and what she thought was stardom. In the end she left this world a cult icon at most.<br />
<br />
The documentary itself is average to say the least. The most interesting parts include interviews Warhol himself and Paul Morrissey, director of cult classics such as Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Andy%20Warhols%20Bad">Andy Warhol's Bad</a> and many more. We also have interviews with punk rock legend Jane County and <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/John%20Waters">John Waters</a>.<br />
<br />
I suppose the biggest fan base for this movie would be drag queens and Warhol fanatics. For me personally the life of Candy Darling is not quite interesting enough for a full length documentary. However if you are really into chicks with dicks and Andy's speed-freaks then this one might be worth looking at. Look for a really cool scene at the factory with Dennis Hopper.<br />

Nekromantik is completely disgusting, shocking, tasteless and out right disturbing. Naturally it is one of my all time favorites.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The first time I saw Nekromantik I was completely and totally disturbed. This film struck a nerve deep inside me that very few horror films have come close to. The strong impact it had on me has stuck with me all of these years and oddly enough it still shocks me to this day. It is kind of funny because within the film there is a conversation about desensitization and how it works. They talk about how teenagers who watch very brutal horror movies become desensitized after time. Well I watch horror movies on a regular basis for over 18 years now and I am still completely repulsed by this film. Nekromantik is a sort of cross between an art film and the nastiest of horror movies. It is extremely low budget and the lack of money totally shows. Still the depressing images, beautiful musical score and totally bizarre storyline makes Nekromantik a masterpiece in its own right.<br />
<br />

This sick and twisted tale follows a young necrophiliac who has the perfect job of cleaning up road atrocities. Naturally the sicko takes home human remains to his equally demented girlfriend. Its not long before we watch the happy couple rolling around in bed with rotten corpses and living out all of their fantasies. When our main character looses his job and the couples corpse supply is cut off the woman takes off with the cadaver leaving our main character in a depressed state. The rest of the film is a downward spiral into madness as we watch him kill helpless animals and masturbate with the organs, kill hookers and have his way with the dead bodies and slaughter anyone who stands in his way. Things get worse and worse until our necrophile reaches a final enlightenment. What happens in the end has to be seen to be believed. They just don't get much sicker then this.<br />

As one would probably guess, Nekromantik doesn't exactly have a happy ending. Or at least not in the Hollywood sense of happy endings. During the 75 minute runtime we see car crash victims, Human entrails are pulled from bodies, a cat is put in a garbage bag and smashed into walls repeatedly, we have a half-assed decapitation when a man has his face chopped in half with a shovel, a woman is stabbed in the guts with a switchblade, lots of corpse-fucking, close-ups on urination and in what might be the grossest scene in the movie we see a rabbits throat slit and then skinned in very gory detail. Nekromantik is not for everyone. It is for those who can handle the worst of the worst. The blend of art, beauty and violence makes for a very downbeat experience and I think its safe to say that many would not understand it. However if you like this sort of thing you don't get much better then Nekromantik.<br />
<br />
Director Jörg Buttgeriet would go on to do a sequel to this. Nekromantik 2 is equally violent and disturbing with very brutal scenes of murder and necrophilia. It is also way more polished then the first film. Still I think the original packs a harder punch when it comes to the artistic flow and general feel of the film. Still everything in Jörg Buttgeriet's filmography is worth looking at.<br />

Around my parts in Long Island there is a right of passage that all teenagers must go thru to prove they are tough. It involves going to Kings Park abandoned insane asylum and exploring the creepy buildings. Apparently the teens of Staten Island have the same test of manhood. The only difference is that their abandoned loony-bin has a bad-ass urban legend behind it. That is the legend of Cropsey!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbCh8t3V1ka80uaG_vMJSpVS5hZopUjwkxvH9ywg_6M_UEnJSCi7-wBQJ4N6IkOeWbbCQMmzLRUpAXOxKxEIDjuv9xlgxttTltA5Y9Vb5HXyf8NGwTXIw5kZBf9_T6v16lamBRc3NlSJO/s1600/cropsey+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcbCh8t3V1ka80uaG_vMJSpVS5hZopUjwkxvH9ywg_6M_UEnJSCi7-wBQJ4N6IkOeWbbCQMmzLRUpAXOxKxEIDjuv9xlgxttTltA5Y9Vb5HXyf8NGwTXIw5kZBf9_T6v16lamBRc3NlSJO/s200/cropsey+2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
When I learned that the teenagers of Staten Island have a similar favorite pass time I was naturally interested. When I learned of the infamous serial killer "Cropsey" who dwells in the underground tunnels of the abandoned buildings and snatches young kiddies off of the streets to cut them up, I was even more intrigued.<br />
<br />
When I hear the name Cropsey the first thing that comes to mind is the gory 80's Slasher film <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Burning%20%28The%29">The Burning</a>. Well just like the stalk & slash 80's classic Cropsey is a fictional character. He doesn't exist. However they say all legends have some truth behind it and I guess it has never been more evident then in this case. It just so happens that there was a homeless sadistic killer who lives on the grounds of the psyche buildings and kidnapped young children off of the streets and butchered them. His name is Andre Rand.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTPEecJWddz7j6rI_n1AdJYPhp2sCo5e2vfOjm5Hat_7jp6_IyB-3lZ9UVNlXs3VGoy5VtjmcitpFPfkAg7Y75WAHCnNbrIfQXS1ylFpskzFrqJky8PHrjPdf8L9uIuzsv4WhSZMoOowBm/s1600/cropsey+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="112" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTPEecJWddz7j6rI_n1AdJYPhp2sCo5e2vfOjm5Hat_7jp6_IyB-3lZ9UVNlXs3VGoy5VtjmcitpFPfkAg7Y75WAHCnNbrIfQXS1ylFpskzFrqJky8PHrjPdf8L9uIuzsv4WhSZMoOowBm/s200/cropsey+3.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
This documentary explores the abandoned loony-bins of Staten Island as well as the urban legend of Cropsey. It eventually leads us to Andre Rand and does its best to make sense out of what really went on. Andre Rand was a strange individual who prayed on the mentally retarded. Having an odd connection with the mentally disabled from his younger years when he worked as an orderly in the nut-house, he felt a strange compulsion to kill these children. <br />
<br />
The documentary itself is a bit of a mess and like many of the murder victims there is never really any closure. At times it gets confusing and a bit hard to follow. The information is hard to process as the narrator jumps back and forth in year. I wouldn't necessarily say Cropsey is a bad movie but it certainly isn't very good either. The subject matter is interesting enough but the clumsy approach and anticlimactic ending left a bad taste in my mouth.<br />
<br />
The film makers behind this thing would go on to do a much better documentary in 2014 called Killer Legends which looks at some of the world most grotesque urban legends and searches for the true events that may have inspired them. I would say skip Cropsey and take a look at the later film for a much more coherent and better made doc.<br />

With the success of the infamous American slasher film Silent Night Deadly Night the British would release their very own Christmas slasher just months later.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Instead of a madman running around in Santa outfit slashing up teenage boys and girls like in the American classic, This one showcases a psycho killing anyone who wears a Santa outfit. Ah very unique right? I guess I can relate to this killer to a certain degree considering we both hate Christmas and just about everything it stands like. However unlike this mask wearing nut-bag I don't stalk the streets looking to put a blade into the guts of Santa Clause. I will hand it to whoever thought up some of these murder sequences. Each one is different from the last and it does make for an interesting slasher movie. In the most memorable scene the killer castrates a man in a Santa costume while he takes a piss at the urinal. The blood shoots into the pisser and the fat jolly bastard bleeds to death right there in a dirty public bathroom. Hows that for Christmas cheer?<br />
<br />

Another Santa has his brains blown out the back of his head while another has a spear shoved thru his face. We have meat-cleavers to the achy-breaky skull, eyes are gouged out, another is burned alive in his car, plenty of stabbings and of course some prevy Sanat action.<br />
<br />
I have never seen a good copy of this movie. Not even in the VHS days. It can usually be found on dollar-disc multi-packs but the prints are usually very dark and washed out, not mention they are probably cut. The fact that the film quality is so bad and I still enjoy this movie says something to me. Perhaps it is worth it to upgrade to the Mondo Macabro DVD for optimum Santa killing pleasure.<br />

This one comes complete with some Brit-Tit and an incredibly sleazy scene that takes place in a sex-booth. Where a stripper watches the killer rip into yet another Santa Clause as the blood splats across the plate glass. Typical of Slasher films from this era, they try to hold back on the killers identity till the very end but it is of course a sort of generic and predictable type ending. <br />
<br />
Still Don't Open Till Christmas is good slasher-fun with enough sleaze and gore to keep fans of the genre happy. I would like to see this on a double bill with Silent Night Deadly Night. Thats the Christmas spirit.<br />

Okay all you perverts & Bettie lovers, here's the one we've all been waiting for. This is possibly the best Bettie Page movie to date and as the title says Bettie Page does reveal it all.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0-qgsZ3W_gWHsoASOVJIC_s5BL2eGh0MjIyeRSqDFTF8duTDjiivAzj3qfOhaAgcluLhmAeRscrDI-ctNuN6cNMLWC7qhlwDUtzDBKSaO9dh2R-K_xQoAy2oNz3Wn2lxrh7CoywGzqDc/s1600/bettie+page+reveals+all+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu0-qgsZ3W_gWHsoASOVJIC_s5BL2eGh0MjIyeRSqDFTF8duTDjiivAzj3qfOhaAgcluLhmAeRscrDI-ctNuN6cNMLWC7qhlwDUtzDBKSaO9dh2R-K_xQoAy2oNz3Wn2lxrh7CoywGzqDc/s200/bettie+page+reveals+all+3.jpg" width="160" /></a></div>
Over the years I have collected quite a bit of Bettie Page movies, stag films and documentaries including the infamous Irving Klaw bondage stags and the slightly less raunchy Bunny Yeager stuff but this one offers up the all the grit and dirt and of course plenty of NAKED BETTIE PAGE! Yowza! In this documentary we have an in depth interview with the queen of bondage. She tells her insane life of sexual abuse, partying, modeling and even her decent into madness, where she spent nearly ten years in a mental institution for repeatedly stabbing her landlord. In one of the most memorable moments Bettie recalls an abduction in New York City where six men held her captive and forced her to preform oral sex on each and every one of them. This is pretty intense stuff. I guess its almost reasonable that she went bat-shit crazy and took a knife to someone. She was also molested from childhood by her pedophile father who apparently would have intercourse with chickens and other farm animals.<br />
<br />

While all these filthy stories from the past is interesting and all the thing that makes this one so special, or at least for all us perverts is the previously unseen nudie pictures of Bettie. According to the documentary Bettie Page hated two things. That was cigarettes and alcohol. Only once in her life has she been drunk and she was taken advantage of to the max. When some sleazy cameramen gave Bettie a bit too much booze they convinced her to take the only pictures of her career that she would regret. Bettie Page drunkenly lay spread-eagle and bares it all. If for no other reason this one is worth owning for the stills of Bettie Page and her hairy beaver. Aside from these gloriously trashy pictures Bettie Page Reveals All also sports a huge amount of naked cheese-cake photos and films of the worlds favorite pin-up model.<br />
<br />
This is a must see for anyone who loves Bettie! If you don't love Bettie you might be another weirdo who digs farm animals or something. See this... You wont regret it!<br />

Originally this one was supposed to be called The Freakmaker which is the more suiting title but for some odd reason the producers felt it would work better as The Mutations. Not quite sure I agree with them. At any rate this one takes Tod Browning's <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Freaks">Freaks</a> and gives it the 70's treatment with violence and nudity amped up.<br />

Freakmaker is a strange little exploitation flick. Its not necessarily strange just because of its odd subject matter or the fact that we will ogle human deformities and killer plants. Its odd because it was all done so well. We have beautiful lighting, very nice cinematography, excellent direction and big actors like Donald Pleasence. Granted Pleasence may not have been a super star at the time or anything but it is still strange to see such a professional approach at a film that most would probably consider a piece of trash. Due to its production value Freakmaker plays a bit like an art film masked as a exploitation movie. Leave it to the British!<br />

Donald Pleasence plays a mad scientist who has discovered some new Mutations is carnivorous plants. He bribes the deformed ringleader of the local freak-show to abduct beautiful young girls as subjects in his new experiments. The demented scientist is turning the victims into a sort of half human half plant but as I mentioned these plants eat meat. Its not long before the giant plant monsters are roaming about and munching on the flesh of bums and street trash. This one comes complete with plenty of midgets including Michael Dunn who I remember best as the necrophiliac dwarf in <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Frankensteins%20Castle%20Of%20Freaks">Dr. Frankensteins Castle Of Freaks</a>. We also have a deformed dwarf who calls himself the human pretzel. Lets just say his appendages move in all the wrong places. We have the alligator woman, a monkey woman, the bearded lady and even the human skeleton which is nothing more then an anorexic woman. Aside from the freaks there are also quite a few naked ladies on display in this one which is always nice and there is a touch of the red stuff for all the gore-hounds out there. However the real highlight of this movie is Popeye! Popeye is famous for his ability to pop his own eyes out of his skull. Yuck!<br />

Certain scenes are directly lifted from Browning's Freaks and others seem to be completely unique. There are also elements of <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Eyes%20Without%20A%20Face">Eyes Without A Face (1960)</a> to be found within and perhaps a touch of Day Of The Triffids.<br />
<br />
While I wouldn't exactly say that The Freakmaker is a great example of cinema, it certainly is strange enough for the average exploitation fan. Check this one out for fun with drooling freaks, mad scientists and knife wielding dwarfs.<br />

The Devil's Daughter is one of the worst movies I have seen in a very long time. Not exactly sure who this movie was marketed towards. This one sports a predominantly black cast and follows some jive talkin hep-cat from Harlem who is roaming around the plantation fields of Jamaica. He comes across a snooty upper class couple who get themselves into some trouble with the voodoo tribes.<br />
<br />
The poster brags that it has an "All-Star colored cast" but I'm not so sure if any of these actors were stars. I can't really see this thing appealing to black audiences even in the 30's because it all comes off slightly racist. We have what seems like endless chit-chat about black magic and every couple of minutes we are tortured with another shitty song & dance number. Bongo drums play thru the majority of the film and after a while you just want to plug your ears but that wouldn't work very well either because the dialogue is so low and muffled with bad Jamaican accents.<br />
<br />
The whole thing is a giant mess and it turns out to be more of a stamina test then anything else. Stay far away from this one.<br />

Return Of The Living Dead has become one of the largest cult films in the zombie film genre. The reason is probably because it appeals to multiple groups of people. Due to its punk rock soundtrack and bleak message which goes against structure, police and of course the military, Return Of The Living Dead has a large following of punk rockers but it also appeals to those who prefer silly 80's mayhem in their horror films and of course the zombie fanatics hold this one close to their hearts as well.<br />

Being a young horror obsessed teenage punk rocker myself at one time I have seen this movie countless times on video but last night I saw it for the first time on the big screen with an audience. The seats were jam packed with punks and horror-freaks who knew just about every line to the movie. "What do you think this is a fucking costume? Its a way of life!" It played on a double bill with <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Re-Animator">Re-Animator</a> which came out the same year and is equally fun when it comes to 80's zombie cult flicks.<br />

Dan O'Bannon's follow up to <a href="http://moviesfrommars.blogspot.com/search/label/Night%20Of%20The%20Living%20Dead">Night Of The Living Dead</a> involves a bunch of young punk rockers who barricade themselves inside a mortuary while fighting off droves of brain-eating zombies. Yep, in this one the zombies are very picky eaters and are not content on eating human flesh. It is strictly a human brains diet and in one mind-numbing scene a naked female zombie who is missing the bottom half of her body explains why they eat brains. Return Of The Living Dead is more of a comedy then anything you can take seriously and they are not the slow staggering George A. Romero type of zombies. So if zombies that run fast and speak is against your zombie religion or something, you should probably stay away from this one all together. However if you want to see scream queen Linnea Quigley get naked and dance on a tombstone before having her brains munched on by a bunch of rotten zombies, then this one might be for you.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
This fast paced zombie-fest sports a soundtrack with The Cramps, 45 Grave and many more. We have midget zombies, a pick axe to the brain, multiple decapitations, dismemberment, brain munching, split dogs, dead cops and some naked breasts. Its an all around good time. If you like your zombie films to be more serious then stay away from this one and stick with Romero's Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead.<br />

In this short film Werner Herzog takes the boring subject and turns it into a heart wrenching look at reality. This 34 minute documentary looks at people who's lives are forever destroyed due to cellphone texting while driving. I personally can't think of a subject that is more lame. However when Herzog gets behind something it can get a tear from the most jaded of viewers. As we all know the cellphone-youth or internet-babies as I like to call them can not wipe their own ass without the companionship of their cellular device. This one shows them for the scum they truly are. Well okay maybe that wasn't Herzog's exact message but thats how I see it.<br />
<br />
Only worth looking at for Herzog completists. Warning this one plays like an afternoon television tearjerker for bleeding-heart housewives.<br />

The Slave is a strange little sexploitation film from French director Max Pecas who is known for trashy titles such as A Sweet Taste Of Honey and House Of 1000 Pleasures. This one is no different when it comes to bare breasted ladies and raunchy characters but the plot is a real weird one.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A wealthy woman is planning on spending the next ten days with her gigolo boyfriend in her suburban home while her husband is away on business. Her plans a disrupted when her half brother shows up with his mistress. It turns out her half brother has just committed a robbery and needs to hide out in his sisters home. The only problem is big brother is a bit of a pervert and gets a bit rapey with his sister. Apparently he has been blackmailing his sister for the past nine years with some pornographic pictures he has of her, so calling the police is out of the question and the whole house becomes his slave and he does what he wants to all of them. While all this is going on some skin-headed mobster is plotting a revenge against the domineering criminal.<br />
<br />
It all comes complete with a very strange twist ending with plenty of perversion and over the top violence. This has to be one of the weirdest sexploitation films ever made. While it isn't necessarily a very good movie it is how bizarre some of the scenes are that makes it a relatively interesting watch. In one of the weirdest moments a woman strips off her clothes and furiously humps a tree while she watches a man in a straightjacket being violently beaten. How cool is that?<br />
<br />
This one plays like a cross between a crime film and a roughie with a touch of the artsy-fartsy stuff.

Werner Herzog takes a look at Michael Perry on Death Row in Texas. It also looks at Perry's accomplices and the victims families. In true Herzog fashion this downbeat documentary follows the broken lives of the criminals and the victims with beautiful camera work and gut wrenching interviews.<br />

Michael Perry is set to die in eight days for the triple murder of an innocent family. In his last days Perry copes with the fact that he will most likely be executed. While Herzog and most others in the film make it clear that they are not in favor of capitol punishment, we do hear from the victims family members who feel justice is being served. Into The Abyss shows us how capital punishment affects everyone involved from the victims to the priest and even the executioners.<br />
<br />
Aside from the heavy capital punishment theme that runs through most of the movie, we get the whole back story on the crimes committed and even the actual crime scene videos are displayed for us. After Perry and his friends executed a family for nothing more then a car that they wanted to steal, they got into a bloody shootout with Texas police. The apprehension scene was something out of a Bonnie & Clyde movie. Cars and buildings filled with bullet holes, a police officer run over by a car and of course the criminals took many bullets themselves. Its just amazing they survived the shootout.<br />
<br />
This one is a good watch for anyone who is into true crime and can stand the dark side of human nature. Its also got that Herzogian artsy flow to it but I warn you, Into The Abyss is a sad movie and it packs an emotional punch. Bring your tissues.<br />

This interesting documentary follows the lives of New York City's cine-maniacs. With a compulsion to see as many films as possible on the big screen every day, it is hard to find time for work, family, friends and even cleaning ones house.<br />

Some of the people in the film see up to six movies a day in the theater. Always on the run to the next film with no time to even use the bathroom its amazing to see how cinema has affected these people into a neurotic state of living. Everyone in the film is unemployed and living off of disability or some form of service, some have been arrested for their neurotic behavior for violence against annoying theater goers and one man in particular even chooses a diet that constipates him. I mean who wants to leave a movie to take a dump anyway? One woman has gone to see a movie every day for over 50 years and saved every stub for every movie she has been too. She was banned from one particular theater for strangling a employee who ripped her stub in half. While most of the people in this film are into movies that I couldn't give a shit about their lives are interesting none the less. This is with the exception of my favorite guy Harvey. Harvey will go and see anything. He digs 50's monster movies and trashy films from the 70's. I would like to go to a movie with him and watch something. He also knows the runtime to every film he has ever seen and thats just nutty.<br />
<br />
The thing I found most interesting about these people is that almost all of them are against seeing a movie in any other format then film. They do not watch VHS or DVD. Its strictly film screenings. While I do understand this I find it amazing that they don't feel the need to own copies of their favorite movies and I can't help but wonder what they are doing now considering almost all theaters have transferred over to digital. I feel their pain.<br />
