Zontar: The Thing from Venus (1967)
Come on 65 years ago
Let's be honest. In 1967 not much was know about the final frontier****space. Special effects were in their infancy. The monster from Venus was a combination of a huge bat and bulbous eyes. But what can you expect in a movie made for practically peanuts. Maybe if they hired Ray Harryhausen (the Beast From 20.000 fathoms) it would have improved the monster. The scientist invited the monster to Earth. Reminds me of Battleship or even Biden inviting hordes of "aliens" to come to America. We should remember what happened when Columbus, Cortez, Americans on Plymouth Rock, US Cavalry.killing Native Americans so new comers can take their land. Why would a UFO be any different? I thought the movie a bit cheesey but still entertaining.
The Ultimate Warrior (1975)
Bad Ass Yul Brenner
Watched this movie many years ago and keep hoping to see it on Amazon Prime or some other free movie site. Action and a few surprises. Yul still hot, even at his age. Standing, announcing his availability shows he still has what it takes to be a kick ass and not bother talking names action hero. Àn end of mankind as we know it scenario. Decent cast with villain you love to hate. Might even spring for the $2.99 to rent online.
Edge of the Garden (2011)
Worth the watch
What a pleasure to watch. Just the right mixture of suspense and romance. You have to hate the "bad guy" who is thoroughly despicable and root for the hero who initially appears to be a bit of a cad. Some reviewers say the ending was contrived but I found it hopeful and yes, charming. The ex fiancé was cold and I was happy to see Brian shed of her. If you like love, fantasy and hope seamlessly blended together, give this movie a go!!!
Lifted (2010)
Surprise
I came into this movie part way through so close to the end was a big surprise. A feel good but poignant movie. A fine tribute to service men and women who have paid a high price for defending freedom. Watch to the very end, if you aren't moved you don't have a heart. If you are looking for lots of action this is not the one for you. If, however. You want to be entertained and enjoy music, this is a perfect fit. There are negative reviews but overlook those, just give it a chance, I doubt you'll be sorry. Maybe no academy acting awards but I thought the ssad was pretty decent and the mom looked like a lot of crackheads I've seen. Fast forward if it goes too slow but wait for the big surprise, worth the wait
A Monster Among Men (2013)
No clue
Read scathing review before watching. Lots of off camera carnage. Everyone suspects Eli, but is he actually the monster. The real mobster is the jerk who drugged a girls drink and bragged about deflowering her. It certainly wasn't as bad as portrayed although it wasn't the best flick I've ever seen. It does fill or pardon the pun, kill time.
