Lust (2007)
I figured it was only 3 minutes of my time
Best thing about it is that it is only 3 minutes. I want my 3 minutes back!
Splatter: The Architects of Fear (1986)
Spoof of special effects
Claims to be a documentary of the filming of a sci-fi / horror movie. Doubt the movie was actually made. Only good part worth seeing is the fine looking future babe who pins an alien against a wall, strips, and proceeds to "f*[ < his brains out" until his head literally explodes!! Nice between the legs shot as well.
Otherwise the effects are lame. No Savini work here.
The Ramrodder (1969)
Rented as "Savage Passions"
Should have been called "Dance of the Bouncing Boobs"! If you are looking for a good romance or western (like the video box made it sound), look elsewhere. If you want to watch naked women dance around for an hour, this is your movie. The plot takes up about ten minutes of the movie and the remaining eighty minutes are dedicated to naked women bouncing around and rolling around with their men. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just not exactly what my girlfriend and I had in mind! (Watching it, that is!) OK so I didn't mind TOO much!
Anyway, as much as I like watching good looking women's boobs bounce around, after about a half an hour it started to get old. Really. There is a whipping scene if your into that, though I could think of much better ways to treat a nice looking woman than that. And what about how the Indians test their women to see if they are still virgins? How can I get that job? Maybe that is where they got the original "Ramrodder" title from!
Speaking of the Indians, they look more like outcast's from the Partridge Family and the Brady Bunch than Indians! I guess WASP people can ACT like Indians even if they don't LOOK like Indians. Unfortunately these people don't even ACT like Indians either!
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that if you rent this flick you will: 1) see lots of nudity, the ONLY reason to rent this pic, 2) fast forward though all of the non-nude parts, 3) actually end up being bored with the nudity, unless you are really hard up (no pun intended)! and 4) have already have spent more money than the producer did on the entire film!!!!!!!!
As Mick says "Dance, Dance Little Sister, Dance!!!"
Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981)
Not (Too) Bad, But The Original Is Still The Best
In my opinion, the series gets cheesier and dumber each time a sequel was made. Yes this is the first time we see Jason, and Amy Steel is good (and HOT!), but the original featured special effects / makeup from the master himself Tom Savini! At the time the original was made we hadn't really seen many effects that gruesome and graphic other than maybe the Italian zombie movies. And don't forget, (I'm gonna show my age here) video tapes weren't around yet so you couldn't go out and pick up most of these Italian gore films. So I think the original did a lot more for splatter/gore/horror films (in the US anyway) than the rest of the parts. Plus, I think it is always creepier and scarier (atmosphere) when you don't see / know who the killer/monster is until the end anyway!
Don't get me wrong, Pt.2 does have it's creepy, scary moments and is far better than the remaining parts and a lot of the other garbage put out since. The ending is kinda corny, but eerie none the less. On a scale of ten I'd give it a 6.
