Unholy Matrimony (1988)
Wrong City
I'm born and raised in New Orleans. I remember when Jim Giesick and Sam Corey of Texas committed this crime. Corey was a mail order preacher and Texas underworld figure who chose a young girl for Jim to marry and murder to collect the life insurance. While they were on the way to a Florida honeymoon, they stopped in New Orleans where Jim took the girl for a walk and Corey ran over her, making it look like a hit and run accident. My biggest problem with this film is the fact that it's set in Phoenix instead of New Orleans. I don't understand the filmmaker's reasons for this inaccuracy. Would someone make a film about the Civil war and then have it set in Asia?
Charlie's Angels (2000)
Loved Every Minute!!!
As a fan of Kate, Farrah and Jackie (The original Angels) I was prepared to hate this film. Well I was wrong. How can anyone hate a good old fashion action film with modern day technology? Drew, Lucy and Cameron easily hold there own next to the originals. My only regret is that Farrrah Fawcett turned down the cameo as Drew's mom.
Since I tend to keep video rentals until I've racked up thirty bucks in late charges, I'm glad that I shelled out twenty bucks for the DVD.I would recommend the same.
Sextette (1977)
World's Oldest Sex Goddess
When I first saw this film circa 1979, I felt really sorry for Mae West. Here she was looking every one of her 85 years (she really does look like George Burns in drag) and having every man in the film falling madly in love with her. Twenty-something years later, i can appreciate the film's camp quality. After all, Mae's ego was so huge that she probably really believed that she still had the appeal that she had in classics like "I'm No Angel". I'm sorry, but the eighty-something Mae West and the forty-something Mae West are two totally different animals. Yet,I can not help but recommend this film if only to slow down the VCR to try and spot Mae's walking cane that she tried to hide with her big skirt.
Mahogany (1975)
Supremely Bad
Poor Diana. after a promising debut in "Lady Sings the Blues", she had to be cast in this campy little mess. Her movie career never recovered ("The Wiz" finished it off) and the only acting jobs she can get are roles like Brandy's mom in lame TV movies. Strictly for Ross fans, drag queens and Bad Movie buffs.
The Woman Hunter (1972)
Too bad she couldn't blink and get out of this one.
I found this video on the $3.00 bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Typical 1970s made for TV shlock. Barbara stars as a rich heiress(how come in the movies they all look like Barbara Eden and not like Barbara Hutton?)vacationing in the Bahamas with husband Robert Vaughn. It seems that Stuart Whitman is following her and recording her every move in his little 1972 tape recorder.(His middle-aged body is displayed in various forms of undress for those of you into pot bellies and flab.)Barbara finds Stu's tape recorder and goes to the police, but everyone thinks she's batty because all rich women think everyone wants to kill them. Very lame story, dreadful acting and predictable plot. The only reason to watch this film is to finally get to see Barbara's navel. Other than that stick to the reruns of "I Dream of Jeannie".
