She-Devils on Wheels (1968)
a classic camp biker flick.
I'm sorry, but trying to apply standard critiques to this awesome movie just shows that you ain't a biker. Yeah, it's campy: yeah, it dosen't have enough sex or gore to please fans of the director. And yeah, the acting and dialogue is crap. But otherwise it's bordering on hilarious. This is a hoot, and anybody who's lived on two wheels accepts it for what it is: a bunch of hot chicks in wigs riding classic bikes. Hell, I'll watch it over several times just for the footage of that FLA. Next to "Hells Angels on Wheels and "The Wild Ones", you can't do much better. Want sex, gore and rock & roll? Don't waste yer time...but for classic bad girls on classic bikes, it's a must see.
Hemingway (1988)
Should be called " Hemingway's Women"
I have to agree with the previous statement: this "biopic" is far less about Ernest Hemingway's life as an adventurer, writer and novelist as it is about his various romances and his penchant for booze. I missed the original and, finally finding the DVD, was very disappointed at the portrayal of a classic writer as nothing more than a modern Cassanova. The acting is fine at points, it touches at various points and no doubt great lengths were taken to film at "original" locals...but the entire plot is bogged down by a series of romances while the director obviously missed the point: Hemingway was his own man, and was never ruled by women. Maybe that didn't cut it in the "Politically Correct" eighties, but this mini series is a rotten tomato.
