Wham! Bam! Thank You, Spaceman! (1975)

Two aliens from a dying planet are on a mission to impregnate Earth women. This is one of those movies that defies description. There's absolutely no way any words of mine can adequately convey just how stupid, cheap and cheesy this ultra-low budget 70s sci fi softcore silliness is, so I won't even begin to try. All I can say is that if you have a taste for trash ala Ed Wood, Russ Meyer, Jack Hill, or even (the absolutely worthless) Ted V. Mikels, then you NEED to see 'Wham Bam Thank You Spaceman' sometime in your life. Two alien doofus studs are sent to Earth to save their race by beddi

Vintage Sci-Fi Movies, 6 Film Set -The 27th Day, The H-Man, Valley of the Dragons, 12 to the Moon, Battle in Outer Space, Night the World Exploded

Six sci-fi flicks on two single sided dual layer discs. That's squeezing quite a bit of material onto those little discs but overall the features all look pretty good, all with nice transfers provided by Columbia Pictures and all in their original theatrical ratios. You get two Japanese dubbed features in CinemaScope and color, 1958's "The H-Man" and 1960's "Battle in Outer Space", both with so-so special effects and the usual atrocious dubbing which may give you a few chuckles. Then there is the Sam Katzman produced snoozer "The Night the World Exploded" with Kathryn Grant and by comparis

Mutant Girls Squad (Blu-ray)

2010 seems like a lifetime away in the Sushi Typhoon universe. Mutant Girls Squad was initially finished nearly two years ago and had its premiere screening in Japan two years ago to the day before it's Blu-ray debut on US home video from Well Go USA. Part of the reason for the delay is the transition from FUNimation to Well Go of the Sushi Typhoon license, which happened almost exactly when this film should have hit store shelves. In the meantime, several more recent films have already been released to varying degrees of success, but if you've begun to suffer from Sushi Typhoon fatigue, I

Battle Of The Worlds

Scientists race against the clock in an attempt to stop a collision between an alien planet and Earth. "Battle of the Worlds" is not the best 'B' movie and probably can be rated as a 'Z' movie, but it is still a cult classic. Cheezy Flicks prided themselves on owning thousands of titles so where are they? And if they think so much about getting them out on disc, why is this version absolutely un-watchable? The print looks like it was dragged behind a car and the colors are washed out and as usual, they have cut off the film company credits and replaced it with their own. So far the best

Unknown Island

"A fantasy adventure film in the style of "King Kong" and "The Lost World."" The film recount the adventures of a group of intrepid folk on an uncharted island in the South Pacific where primordial monsters still survive. I really enjoyed this film, although I never saw it in my youth. It was shot in Cinecolor which, I think, must have been a "two-strip" process. As a result you see a lot of cheesy pastels but the skin tones are great. Now granted, the monsters are pretty hokey in this one and it's clear that the "beach" is a studio one... but, somehow, I still liked it. This flick is sor

Fantastic Voyage (1966)

One of the more influential and copied sci-fi films of all-time. The BRILLIANT effects work may underwhelm some members of the CGI generation, which is a shame. Just imagine all the work and visual trickery needed to make this film look as great as it does. That is art and craftsmanship on a level we rarely get to see anymore. The plot has been copied and adapted enough times that this film will feel quite familiar, especially to first time viewers.  But, this is by far the most entertaining of the bunch. This film has almost everything a film lover could want in a film. Great effects,

Planet of the Apes '68 [Blu-ray]

20th Century Fox released the film previously on DVD by itself and in a box set with the rest of the Apes films plus a bonus DVD of extras. Now, for those who just want the first (and best) film of the series and all of the extras, Fox has released an excellent two-DVD special edition of Planet of the Apes to celebrate its 35th anniversary. The DVD's extras get off to a shaky start with the two lackluster audio commentaries. The first is by legendary composer, Jerry Goldsmith, and the second by actors Roddy McDowall, Natalie Trundy, Kim Hunter and make-up artist John Chambers. Both comment
