Pepe (1960)
Amazing time capsule, terrible movie
It's really hard to rate this movie. On the one hand, it's a true time capsule of 1960..every mega star is here..including practically the whole rat pack. On the other hand , this is a an extremely corny movie about a man and his donkey.
What is really painful to watch is what the movie does to the Cantinflas persona. In his Mexican movies, he is street smart but with a sentimental side. Sort of a Mexican Little Tramp. In his Mexican movies this persona became more and more sentimental and less street smart as years went by. But nothing can prepare you for this movie. In it, the Cantinflas persona becomes a virtual moron. He is such an ignorant fool it is almost painful to watch.
I remember seeing this movie with my grandmother and mother at the old Radio City theater in Santurce. I was a boy expecting a Cantinflas movie and was surprised to see a movie like this.
Still I have fond memories and I feel that the movie deserves a DVD release. In fact this movie doesn't even show up on AMC or TCM. And its a shame because this movie is an interesting way to go back to 1960.
Visions of Passion (2003)
Very good of its kind...Ava Lake is amazing!!!
OK. This is not exactly "Rear Window". But it is a fun, sexy variation of the theme. Ava Lake stars as a woman who films her neighbors for a personal movie project. She gets involved in many stories including one with a hooker neighbor who is having an affair with a Senator. Plot has little logic and there is no way Ava can see all that is happening in other apartments. But it has Ava Lake in many sex scenes and that is good enough. She is involved in two girl-girl scenes, a three way and a solo masturbation scene ALERT: Tape the unrated edition on cable. The DVD I got was R-rated...which means all the plot holes minus all the sex scenes. It is awful!!!!!!
Emmanuelle in Rio (2003)
How low has this franchise fallen?
Back in the 1970's the "Emmanuelle" movies were the classiest soft core porn movies around. They starred Sylvia Kristel and were pretty sexy, especially parts 2 and 3. During that time the really low budget Emmanuelle movies were the ones that spelled "Emanuelle"...with one M. Some of them starring Laura Gemser were kind of sexy, others not so. So it comes as a surprise to see this awful, shot on video atrocity, It's completely shoddy, the women are just OK. The Brazilian actress playing Emmanuelle is pretty plain, for Latin standards. Sylvia Kristel was special and seductive and none of the women are even remotely special. This is a boring, awful movie that should be avoided at all costs.
Play-Mate of the Apes (2002)
Absurd but kind of sexy
This movie seems to be playing on cable all the time. It's a very cheesy parody of "Planet of the Apes". The jokes are extremely silly and corny. But I must admit that the sex scenes are kind of hot especially the ones with Misty Mundae and the all out orgy towards the end. These are the kind of movies that back in the 1960's would have played in "adults only" theaters. Plenty of soft-core action and bad attempts at humor. Will probably be enjoyed best with a six pack of beer.
A Passion (2001)
A true guilty pleasure
This movie is on cable TV almost every month and it's a lot of fun. The plot about a secret society catering to rich people's sexual fantasies is kind of silly but the sex scenes are hot. I especially like Stephanie Beaton. She is not the usual
silicon enhanced blonde that tends to appear in this kind of film. She is a nice looking redhead, almost a bit plump. But she has amazing sexual energy and
her threesome with Hershel Savage and another male porno star is kind of hot. Former Playmate and Star Search model winner Devin DeVazquez is also here
and her threesome scene is very sexy. So grab a beer, lay back and enjoy a
very sexy softcore movie.
