As a screenwriter, Shane Black made millions of dollars from screenplays for the big-budget action movies Lethal Weapon and The Last Boy Scout, among others. With his directing debut Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, Black mocks and undercuts every cliche he once helped to invent. While fleeing from the cops, small time hood Harry Lockhart (Robert Downey Jr., Wonder Boys) stumbles into an acting audition--and does so well he gets taken to Hollywood, where--pursuing a girl he loved in high school (foxy Michelle Monaghan, North Country)--he gets caught up in twisty murder mystery. His only chance of getting out alive is a private detective named Gay Perry (Val Kilmer, Wonderland, The Doors), who sidelights as a consultant for movies. No plot turn goes untweaked by Black's clever, witty script, and Downey, Kilmer, and Monaghan clearly have a ball playing their screwball variations on action movie stereotypes. There's nothing profound about Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, but it brings back wicked mischief to a genre that all often takes itself too seriously. --Bret Fetzer

Description

In Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, a breezy take on writer-director Shane Black's trademark buddy action/comedy oeuvre, a petty thief (Robert Downey Jr.) is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition and finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation, along with his high school dream girl (Michelle Monaghan) and a detective (Val Kilmer) who has been training him for his upcoming role.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely loved this movie! Witty dialogue, wild action and a fun ride for movie-lovers!.......2007-06-18

Writer Shane Black has always crafted films that may be a little too quirky and over-the-top for the mass audience, but I love his love for film and talent for dialogue which are on display in his directorial debut.

After a botched robbery, the RDJ character stumbles into a film audition, which leads to an LA oddessey. In the course of it, bullets, dead bodies and a severed finger start to pile up, as the case turns into a cheap detective novel - not unlike the kind the characters riff about in the movie.

I found "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" to be a real treat for cinema-philes who like smart characters and a bit of the "breaking the fourth wall" feel. Admittedly, the plot is a little loose, and really only exists to facilitate the action (Noires sometimes have plot issues - see The Big Sleep & Night Moves for examples - so many twists). The movie takes itself just seriously enough to be wild but coherent. The "LA flare" and the fact that the actors seem to be having so much fun made this a fun view for me. RDJ & Val Kilmer (who steals a few scenes of his own) are great together, and Michelle Monaghan was witty, fun and nice to look at. This is the kind of fun film experience I enjoy & miss in the garbage they churn out in Hollywood now - really dug it.

1 out of 5 stars We Didn't Like It!.......2007-06-05

Wow! If they had left the "F" word out of this movie, there wouldn't have been much dialog!!!! Could have been great, but our poor ears were cringing! Not even funny. What a disappointment. There are a lot better comedies out there.

4 out of 5 stars A pleasant surprise........2007-05-12

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (Shane Black, 2005)

I sometimes forget that under Robert Downey, Jr.'s deeply troubled exterior lies a world-class actor. Then I see one of his good movies, and the late eighties come flooding back. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, despite its awkward title (and how strange is it that this is the sixth movie to carry that title?), is definitely one of those.

Downey plays Harry Lockhart, a small-time crook who stumbles into the beginnings of an acting career while fleeing from some nasty men with guns. Lockhart is transplanted to the other side of the country and under consideration for the lead in a detective series; in order to get him some ideas about what happens on the job, he gets paired up with real private detective Perry (Val Kilmer). Meanwhile, he's run into Harmony (Unfaithful's Michelle Monaghan), the girl he had a major crush on in high school who went out to Hollywood to become an actress. Perry is planning on keeping Harry out of danger, but the two of them quickly become embroiled in an ugly, complex case.

I don't watch too many comedies; not because I don't like them, but because I prefer other genres of film. So I don't laugh terribly much when watching movies. This month, though, I've laughed more at movies than I have in the past year. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was half the reason. (He Died with a Felafel in His Hand was the other half.) Kilmer and Downey are great foils for one another, and both have very good timing here. Add in a few overly weird minor characters and the mother of all Rube Goldbergian plots, and you've got yourself a winner. No one will mistake this for deathless cinema, but then again, it never aspires to be. *** ½

4 out of 5 stars Clever tribute to crime pix delivers both laughs and thrills.......2007-04-17

"Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" is one of those humorous takes on the "film noir" genre that wants to have it both ways: it makes clever comments and funny asides about the conventions of the genre (mostly via voiceover narration) while, at the same time, wanting to tell a genuinely involving "noir" story, too. And I have to say that, for the most part, the film succeeds. While I'm not as madly in love with this movie as many of the reviewers here, I certainly didn't feel that it's the train wreck some on this site describe it to be. Discovering this on DVD, I found it to be slick, fun, and clever. Robert Downey, Jr. and Val Kilmer in particular seem to be having a lot of fun. The DVD features attractive, slickly designed menus, dynamite picture and sound, and some good extras (including a gag reel that for once is actually fun to watch). Check this one out.

3 out of 5 stars Self-conscious noir.......2007-03-28

A small-time crook (Robert Downey Jr) stumbles into an audition while running from police and ends up with a free ticket to LA, where he becomes involved in a complicated scheme along with his high school sweetheart (Michelle Monaghan) and a gay PI (Val Kilmer). There is much to enjoy here, including some laugh-out-loud moments and some enthusiastic skewering of action movie cliches. In the end, however, it is a little too cute and self-conscious, though never boring. Stick around for the credits. Robert Downey Jr. co-wrote and performs the final song.

Italian exploitation legend Umberto Lenzi birthed the cannibal subgenre of Italian horror with Deep River Savages, but he turned out one of the so-called classics of the genre with this 1981 effort, a blunt, brutal story of five New Yorkers who face the wrath of angry Amazon cannibals. Three completely clueless would-be anthropologists set out to disprove the racist myth of tribal cannibalism perpetuated by colonial Europeans. Turning a blind eye to danger at every turn, they join up with a pair of drug-crazed psychos on the run from supposed cannibals (in truth, the reign of terror has been perpetrated solely by greedy Americans) and then wait patiently for the bloody vengeance of the tribal survivors. Lenzi is no stylist, and his attempts at irony are crude at best, but he delivers all he promises (or threatens): evisceration, emasculation, gouged eyeballs, and a sick twist on the initiation scene from A Man Called Horse. His generous budget allowed him to shoot on location in South America and New York (where a police detective searches for the homicidal drug dealer in a subplot) and lavish attention on his carnage, elevating it to near cult status. More than simply gory, this is a sadistic, cynical, mean-spirited film, for hardcore fans of the genre only.

Lenzi and star John Morghen (the only animated actor in the otherwise flat cast) offer commentary on an alternate track, but Lenzi is all but unintelligible through his thick accent at times. A supplemental interview with Lenzi is helpfully translated by his interviewer. --Sean Axmaker

The hype that surrounds this movie is way too high. The acting sucks and the FX are terrible. The popcorn I ate while watching this were really good though.

5 out of 5 stars Classic!.......2007-05-12

Cannibal flicks always go a little further than your average Italian gore-fest and are definitely my favorites,because when I watch a horror movie I want to be rupulsed and disgusted(see definition of horror)I don't want to see little creepy kids that they put in every pop-horror movie now,that [...] doesn't scare me,this scares me.Not on the same level as cannibal holocaust but pretty close.THIS IS REAL HORROR!

1 out of 5 stars Beware: Animal Cruelty.......2007-05-12

I love gory movies (Zombie, Re-Animator) and this one was kind of cool until some characters started chopping off the parts of a real turtle. It was upsetting. There should be a warning for this kind of material. Just a heads up in case you're gonna buy it. (I've read that Cannibal Holocaust also has animal cruelty, but I haven't seen it.)

2 out of 5 stars Not for DVD aficionados.......2006-12-15

I'm rather upset with the technical quality of this DVD. Grindhouse rereleased this disc exactly as it was in 2000, without so much as a 16x9 animorphic upgrade. This is certainly not worth the $20+ dollar price tag Amazon.com has right now.

5 out of 5 stars The 2nd best cannibal film........2006-11-27

This is the second best/most disturbing film next to Cannibal Holocaust which will always be the champion. But thats not taking anything away from Cannibal Ferox which was banned in 31 countires and contains some of the most brutal scenes ever filmed. See this film it wont dissapoint!

5 out of 5 stars The 2 Greatest Stars of Mexican Cinema.......2007-04-08

One doesn't usually associate director Ismael Rodriguez with Technicolor and CinemaScope, rather with the earlier b&w Pedro Infante films like "Nosotros los Pobres," and "Los Tres Garcia," but this film has brilliant color, spectacular scenic vistas, and is gorgeous to look at, and one wishes it would be released in widescreen to fully appreciate the beauty of its Oaxacan landscape and the many historic landmarks. "Tizoc" is also special because it stars the two most renown actors of the Epoca de Oro of Mexican filmmaking, Pedro Infante and Maria Felix. Infante plays Tizoc, a humble but noble native of royal bloodlines, hated by the rest of the Mixteca villagers because he is not from the same tribe, and despised by the white man because of being "indio." When Tizoc first sees Maria, the headstrong, artist daughter of a landowner, he thinks she is the Virgen Maria, and then when Maria, ignorant of a local custom, gives him her handkerchief to wipe some blood from an injury, he falls hopelessly in love with her. Maria is engaged to handsome Capitan Arturo (Eduardo Fajardo), and trying to sort out the confusions and errors of many is Fray Bernardo (Andres Soler, excellent as the "Padrecito").

A lot of the dialogue is in a semi-dialect but is understandable, and the film has a certain stiffness to it (perhaps because Infante walks with a slight stoop and bent knees!), but nevertheless it has loads of charm, and is endearing due to Tizoc's sweet soul and his ability to converse with animals, which makes him poetic and intuitive. Maria Felix as always looks like a goddess, and her presence fills the screen like few superstars have managed to do. With the exception of one short scene which alternates betwen being a little too dark and a little too light, the film is in very good condition. Alex Phillips did the glorious cinematography, Raul Lavista the interesting score, where birdsongs are the main focus of the soundtrack, and "Tizoc" won a Golden Globe Award in 1958 for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as many other awards, like a Golden Ariel for Ismael Rodriguez, and a Silver Award for Best Actor at the 1957 Berlin International Festival, given to Infante posthumously. Pedro Infante (1917-1957) crashed his plane near Merida in the Yucutan, and 50 years after his passing, still reigns supreme in the hearts of millions.

    Yul Brynner replaces Lee Van Cleef in the title role for 1971's Adios, Sabata, the second and best entry in producer Alberto Grimaldi's spaghetti Western trilogy about the mysterious stranger with an unknown past and a penchant for righteousness, as long as there's serious cash involved. While some fans will miss Van Cleef's iconic performance, Brynner is just as good, even without the tongue-in-cheek attitude affected by the once and future Sabata (Van Cleef took over the part again for Return of Sabata, also released in '71). In fact, with his all-black outfit (replete with open-necked, fringe-bedecked shirt and a ten-foot scarf draped over one shoulder) and gold-plated rifle (equipped with a machine gun-like clip that only enhances his jaw-dropping marksmanship), this is a very cool Yul indeed, notwithstanding a somewhat androgynous vibe (not that there's anything strange about a gunslinger who plays Schubert on the piano, but…). What's more, the film is several notches above both its predecessor (1969's Sabata) and its successor in almost every way; it's wittier, the editing and continuity are superior, the direction's more assured (Gianfranco Parolini, aka Frank Kramer, helmed all three installments), the stunts are more convincing, and the action comes fast and furious (though the fighting scenes aren't especially graphic, the body count is very high). Many of the same actors from the first one reappear here, albeit in different roles, and the story is formulaic--like Sabata, this one involves our hero and his trusty sidekicks attempting to relieve the bad guys of a load of loot that the villains stole in the first place. But Adios, Sabata also has a political element, insofar as the enemy, led by the truly evil Col. Skimmel (Gerard Herter), are occupying Austrians trying to suppress some noble Mexican revolutionaries fighting to keep their country free. As is the case with MGM's DVD releases of all three Sabata movies, there are no bonus features. --Sam Graham

    3 out of 5 stars Mighty Orbots: Trapped on the Prehistoric Planet.......2003-12-17

    In the mood to see how my fave Saturday-morning kidvid shows stacked up to my fond childhood memories of 'em, I hit the kiddie section of the local indie video rental joint in search of a few personal faves on tape. In one dark and seldom-perused corner of the back shelf, I caught a glimpse of one of those great shows I loved veggin' out to between the Smurfs and Super Friends: the Mighty Orbots! Havin' been a regular watcher of Voltron, GoBots, and the Transformers at the time-- well, I'm assuming they all ran concurrently at the time, anyway-- it was a given that I would latch onto this "heroic-robots-fighting-the-baddies-in-outer-space" show as well. Anyhoo, I rented all the Orbots tapes the place had, got home, popped one into the player, whipped out my spiral-bound binder and pen (sheesh, I'm so pathetic with this Amazon customer reviewin' thing that I'M ACTUALLY TAKING NOTES for every item I review now!), and pressed Play...

    As I pretty much expected, the years and the increased levels of maturity I've developed in the interim (Maturity? Yeah, RIGHT...) ain't been all that kind to the show. None of the eppies I watched came close to doing justice to what I remembered about 'em. Of course, I was expecting this to happen anyway (InHumanoids, anyone?), but even so I was kinda hopin' it had more than the usual Saturday-morn cartoon silliness that dominated the networks back in the day...

    All right, I'm pretty much through boring you to death with the backstory; let's get on with it. Near as I can gather, "Mighty Orbots" is a show meant for young'uns who were a bit too young-- or lacked the attention span-- for Voltron or the Transformers. And, as expected, each eppie's chock-full of the sorta cornball quips, one-liners, and witticisms one has come to expect from the Saturday-morning 'toonage of the time. Throw in the usual establishing shots and a minimum of two robot-team-merging-into-Mighty-Orbots sequences to help save the writers from having to script an extra couple minutes worth of dialogue, and you've got a colorful and rather dumb show that breezes by so quickly, each half-hour segment feels like it runs for just five minutes.

    Like a few of its contemporaries, Mighty Orbots features a "cute sidekick"-- a toddler-sized female 'bot who likes to boss the team around. She utters, "Oh, no!"-- her big catch-phrase, as well as her name-- whenever she's surprised, indignant, or momentarily fear-stricken. She's kinduva cross-breed of Snarf from 'ThunderCats' and Angelica from 'Rugrats', with a touch of sickly-sweet Hello Kitty-esque cuteness mixed in, poured into a metal shell, and left to set. And where would the show be without the narration of "beautiful downtown Burbank's" very own Garry Owens to help keep you caught up on the action, and move ya from setting to setting with the quasi-urgent uttering of "meanwhile..."?

    Oops, almost forgot to mention another recurring gimmick: the inventor and leader of this team has this whole Clark Kent/Superman-style dual identity thing goin' on. As soon as the main man changes from his uniform to a lab coat, and he throws on the specs, he becomes a brilliant but geeky research scientist who no one would even remotely suspect of being a dashing heroic type, despite his almost uncanny resemblance to Orbots Leader! Which is kinduva bummer when, in just about every eppie, he (as the geeky scientist) makes many a fruitless effort to get a relationship going with the daughter of the United Planets' leader, who only has eyes for his alter-ego. Needless to say, it looks like our beloved sci-guy's not the ONLY one who needs glasses...

    And now, my thoughts on this particular eppie: I knew I was in for a pretty silly time when the show's main locale was a planet called Evilon, AKA "The Prehistoric Planet". Now it might be due to the fact that my intelligence level is above that of the average 80s adventure cartoon character, but whenever I hear about a planet called 'Evilon', that's pretty much my cue to steer clear! But, being the heroic sorts they are, the Orbots just HAVE to go and rescue some asteroid deflector shield thingy that the heavy of the week (some shrimpy green-skinned alien dude with a Galactus-like mental telepathy helmet named (surprise) Mentalis) stole in order to spring a trap for our heroes to get out of, and then save the day in the nick of time. Which is what they manage to do of course. I'd go into further detail, but I feel you should discover the finer points of this particular episode for yourself. That, and I'm gettin' a bit bored with it all, and I don't really feel much like writing any further. So, if you are interested in checking this one out-- well, all I can say is, good luck finding a rental place that has this in stock...

    1 out of 5 stars A warning about Wild East Entertainment.......2007-04-01

    I am a Spaghetti Western fan. Because of this I decided to purchase a number of rather rare films on DVD by Wild East Entertainment. One of films was "Gentleman Killer."

    The first DVD I recieved was the Lee Van Cleef classic Day of Anget. It had some major problems. I ordered the disc BRAND NEW from amazon directly and the disc contained many DEEP scratches, fingerprint smudges, and the center of the disc was even cracked. I sent the disc back to get a replacement. The second disc I recieved was also scratched badly. I'm not sure who is in charge of making these Wild Eest Entertainment discs but holy hell, give me a break! For brand new discs they look and play like a an ex-rental that had been used as a frisbee. I sent the disc back for a second time because the film skipped. The third disc I recieved...what a surprise...was also really scratched. Enough is enough! How many times do I have to send a disc back in order to get a disc that is in LIKE NEW condition and plays fine!

    That was only the first problem I had with a Wild East disc. I also ordered the DVDs Sartana and Gentleman Killer. I will say up front that I have a normal television (not some fancy widescreen TV) and a normal high quality Sony DVD player. When I played either one of those DVDs...the image come up scruntched on my TV. It's not like I have a widescreen TV playing non-anamorphic discs. I have a normal everyday TV. I emailed Wild East Entertainment about the problem and they eventually responded that it was a manufacturing defect on their part and the person has to switch their DVD player manually to 16x9 to play properly on their TV. Sadly I was unable to do this on my DVD player and the company offered my money back if I sent back the discs along with my amazon receipt. I sent the DVD to them. It's been months and I have not recieved any refund and they refuse to email me back. They took my DVDs and never sent me a refund and refuse to answer my letters and emails. I have NEVER been treated so poorly and they basically robbed me of $40.

    The "Matalo!" DVD also has some extremely poor encoding but I assume I warned potential buyers enough about "Wild East Entertainment". I respect the work they are trying to do by releasing hard to find Spaghetti Westerns but they need to shape up or ship out. Releasing defective discs that are poorly manufactured (like the Day of Anger disc) is upsetting. Their customer service promising refunds that never arrive and ignoring emails and letters is childish. It's a shame because I bought a LOT of their DVD's but the defective discs and their customer service giving false promises ensures that I will NEVER buy another one of their products again.

    5 out of 5 stars A Musical Treat.......2007-04-08

    The 2 stars in this film, Pedro Infante and Sofia Alvarez, serve up a terrific selection of songs, including 2 knock-out duets, that make "Si Me Han de Matar Manana" a tasty treat for anyone who likes mariachi music. Sofia Alvarez (1913-1985), who was born in Colombia, gets top billing in this film, and though her fame wasn't a lasting one like Infante's, she is marvelous, with rare beauty, good singing voice, and stylish grace. She was to make 2 other films with Infante the same year, "Barca de Oro," and "Soy Charro de Rancho Grande." The plot is stretched a bit thin, revolving around Lupita (Alvarez), who was kidnapped as a child, and is found by her father General Reyes (Miguel Arenas)...right before an assassination attempt on his life...singing in a cantina, owned by bad guy Genovevo (Rene Cardona), who wants to marry her. Enter Ramiro (Infante), who has blonde Fanny (Nelly Montiel) trying to "catch" him. Chicote is Ramiro's funny sidekick, and the story goes round and round, as many lovely songs are sung.

    Favorite musical numbers are the "Bajo el sol de Jalisco" duet sung at a palenque (the squeamish should be warned there is a cock fight before it), the gorgeous solo by Infante with a trio at Fanny's party, and the "dueling verses" duet that follows it at the cantina. Director Miguel Zacarias also wrote the script, music is by Miguel Esperon, and the acting by all is fine in this delightful comedic romantic romp. The b&w film quality is quite clear and sharp, but the audio unfortunately shows its age a bit, and is at times quite fuzzy, though the songs still shine despite the sound deterioration. Both stars look wonderful, and Infante fans will love this film. No subtitles available.
    Pedro Infante (1917-1957), was Mexico's most loved singer/actor, and 50 years after his untimely passing when he crashed his plane in the Yucatan, he reigns supreme, and his many films and recordings are national treasures.

    Description

    A group sets out to excavate dinosaur fossils in the Brazillian Amazon, but they get much more than they bargained for. On route, the plane crashes, the group, which includes a psycopath and quite a few voluptous ladies, is forced to fend for itself as it searches for a path back to civilization. The team comes across cannibals, wild beasts and slave traders. This walk through the jungle includes gore, violence and quite a bit of raunchy sex.

    4 out of 5 stars Yes, this is exactly what a B-movie should be!.......2007-06-12

    I got this flick as part of a three-pack and wasn't sure what to expect. What a pleasant surprise! Suzanne Carvalho running around in the jungle topless, bondage, kinkiness, girls in peril, fisticuffs, explosions, shooting, Suzanne Carvalho, smart-aleck humor, and Suzanne Carvalho. Too bad she didn't make more flicks.

    5 out of 5 stars Into the Jungle!.......2007-06-12

    As with Suzanne Carvalho's other films,this movie is a pure gem. It may be an imported film,but it has a great storyline. The movie tells the tale of a group of people who are interested in visiting Dinosaur Valley,an ancient and exciting jungle. However,the trip becomes a fight for survival as the plane goes down and the survivors must fight for their lives. The deaths are gruesome and the fights are breathtaking,and the special effects are worth every penny. The characters are great,and the action is exciting. It all leads to a deadly showdown between the final survivors and a group of cannibals who want to offer up the women for sacrifice. Gunshots and arrows clash,and many people are killed. This movie is a great Brazillian hit and you'll love it.

    5 out of 5 stars Quite a Gem.......2006-07-09

    I've seen bad movies in my life and time. I mean really bad stinkers. Some movies you love because they are bad, some movies you want to slam your head against the wall (in comparison to having to watch the movie again). After watching Massacre in Dinosaur Valley and then watching the interview with Michael Sopkiw, I have to say this is a true jewel of a movie--the movie is bad in all the good ways. The action hero of this film, Michael Sopkiw, is someone you enjoy watching moving around, beating the bad guys up, and winning the girls. The women, mind you, are very lovely indeed. The story itself is not really there. I mean really...look at the title of the movie. You watch this kind of film for the pure mindnumbing adventure that leaves you wanting to watch it again and again. The movie itself has a bit of everything. Not really a "Cannibal Inferno" like the label on the DVD case speaks of, I'd say the "cannibal" portion is ... ah...maybe twenty or so minutes (give or take). The movie is really a bit of vignettes--one small story after the next wrapped around a plane crash and a need to get out of the jungles. All in all, I really think that if you enjoy really bad adventure movies, if you are the kind of chap or lass who enjoys watching goofy t&a, good fight scenes where the good guy pulls off the fight against the bad guys at the very end, then you'll enjoy watching this Michael Sopkiw film.

    4 out of 5 stars Jurassic Park 4 ! (just kidding).......2006-05-11

    First off if your looking for another italian cannibal movie ( why? )this is not it.Massacre in Dinosaur Valley is more of a jungle adventure.The jist of the movie is a professor,his daughter,an archeologist,a Vietnam Vet and his wife plus some models!? go to a valley in the jungle to dig up bones and take pictures of the models with them.Yeah right.Anyway the plane crashes of course and they run into a crazy Marlon Brando type dude.I kinda liked this movie because it was different than most italian cannibal movies.It's the kind of movie you might find on the dusty bottom self of the horror section in the video store.Plus I have to mention the interview with Michael Sopkiw.This was a very good extra as he recalls his career with a good memory and sense of humor.I think i'll add a star because it was not so boring like you get with so many of these extras.

    1 out of 5 stars DULL !!!!.......2005-06-24

    MASSACRE IN DINOSAUR VALLEY IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD THINK. WELL OKAY MAYBE IT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU THINK, HOWEVER ON THE BACK OF THE DVD IT GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS A CANNIBAL MOVIE THEY ALSO GAVE YOU THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS AN ACTION MOVIE,CRAP!!!! THE MOVIE CONTAINED NO GORE NO STORY NO ACTION AND JUST PLAIN DID NOT MAKE ANY SENSE THE MOVIE IS ABOUT SOME IDIOT'S THAT CRASHED LANDED IN SOME CURSED VALLEY (WHY THE VALLEY IS CURSED I HAVE NO IDEA)THEN THEY START TO RUN FROM SOME NOISE ALL OVER THE JUNGLE THEN SOME JERK START RELIVING THE GLORY DAYS BACK IN THE WAR STARTED KILLING AND PUSHING EVERYONE AROUND.TWO GIRLS GOT CAPTURED (WHAT,S LEFT OF THEM) THEN WAS RESCUED BY AN INDIANA JONES WANNBEE.THEY FINALY MADE IT AWAY FROM THE CANNIBALS (WHICH BY THE WAY THEY LOOK LIKE A POOR MAN,S CANNIBALS) ONLY TO BE CAPTURED BY SLAVE TRADERS (THIS IS WHAT THE MOVIE IS TRULY ABOUT) AND IT GETS EVEN DUMBER. NO GOOD QUAILTIES ABOUT THIS DVD MAYBE FOR DELETED SCENES THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE KEPT IN THE MOVIE.

    This isn't so much a review of the movie as much as the Eclectic DVD transfer of Vampire's Night Orgy (aka Orgy of the Vampires). I like the movie. It's a cool, very atmospheric 70's Spanish origin vampire flick featuring Helga Line, a personal fave.

    The problem is the image quality of this Sinema Diable/ Eclectic DVD. It's letterboxed as advertised on the cover, but it's so dark it's actually unwatchable. It seems to become darker as the film progresses as well. The color is also so washed out it's bordering on black and white. A very disappointing experience.

    3 out of 5 stars Vampires Light Buffet..........2004-11-30

    A busload of tourists is stranded after their driver drops dead. They end up in a small village with no cars, no phones, and seemingly no people. A character known as the Major appears and offers our hapless travelers lodging at the only inn in town. Soon, the visitors become tasty snacks for a mysterious countess and her gang of bloodsucking freaks! Will anyone survive? Watch for the first victim, a Chuck Bronson clone with tall hair and a fleece-lined marlboro-man coat! Watch as the countess' giant servant butchers the locals for body parts! As a result, the inn ends up with a menu resembling the one in "The Undertaker And His Pals"! The little girl in VNO befriends a strange little boy who keeps disappearing. Is he a ghost? I was never quite sure. VNO is a fairly presentable little film along the lines of the (superior) Erica Blanc classic, "Devil's Nightmare". As a matter of fact, these two movies would make quite a double feature! I can already feel my saliva glands churning! Enjoy...

    Too slow moving for my taste. And when the horror comes it's really cheesy. Should be called vampire boredom. Zzzzzzz.

    1 out of 5 stars Put A Stake Through This DVD's Heart.......2003-11-09

    Directed by Leon Klimovsky, creator of such equally dismissable films as WEREWOLF SHADOW, this 1974 Spanish film was recently inflicted upon me by a friend. Some friend! Because if you're looking for thrills and chills, believe me, you'll find leftovers for dinner much more disturbing.

    The premise is basic. When their driver has a heart attack, a busload of tourists find themselves stranded in a strange, out of the way village. How strange is it? Well, it's so strange that so-called actress Helga Line lives there. As the "mysterious countess," Helga has big hair, big eyes, big fangs, and a big interest in having juicy-looking men over for dinner. Soon odd things begin to happen: there are screams in the night, dripping blood, etc. You get the picture.

    The direction is fairly non-existent, and while my friend calls it "atmospheric," I felt the cinematography consisted largely of pointing a camera at random in the vain hope that something interesting might happen in front of it. As for the DVD quality, I've seen better and I've seen worse--but when a film is offered in its original widescreen ratio and you feel like you wouldn't be missing anything if it were in pan-and-scan, well, that pretty much says it all. That aside, you have your choice of the original Spanish language or badly dubbed English and a "photo gallery" of dubious interest.

    If your taste runs to such drive-in delights as CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, you might actually enjoy this film. But even so, this is one orgy that you won't be afraid to write home to Mom about, and while I frequently shut my eyes during the film I promise you it wasn't from fright. Final word: drive a stake through this DVD without opening the box.

Michael (Joe Mantegna) doesn't understand why the new car he bought for his wife Dana (Christine Lahti) has sent her into an emotional tailspin; frustrated and confused, he and his friend Bruce (Paul Reiser) decide to blow off steam by going to a strip club--unfortunately, Dana returns home just as the men are setting off. She follows and is appalled by what she finds, setting off a far more serious marital crisis for both couples. What starts out as a middle-aged version of American Pie turns into an honest attempt to grapple with the troubles of a long marriage. The conclusion is dubious, but Women vs. Men has some thoughtful moments along the way and the cast keeps the scenes lively--Lahti and Glenne Headly (as Bruce's wife) are particularly good. --Bret Fetzer

    3 out of 5 stars Some redeeming value........2004-11-17

    The three men in the movie run the gamut from the guy who really loves his wife and doesn't want to lose her, to the divorced guy who's out to **** anything with a skirt that will come off, including the other guys' wives.

    ** spoilers **

    As other reviewers said, the movie earned its R rating in one 35-second scene. Even that was a little unbelievable, because the guys walked in to the strip club and the wife, a few seconds behind, spotted them both in the midst of very close and personal lapdances. Usually, the point of strip clubs is for the girls to keep the guys there spending money, and the guys are there to enjoy the view, so they're not going to be so quick. I digress. However, the wife's shock and outrage are quite believable; disillunsionment, a hemorrhage of intimacy like that can be quite a blow. Imagine stumbling across your wife passionately kissing another man.

    I will say that one of the best scenes in the movie is when the divorcee neighbor is drunk, and she tries to tell the two wives how great being divorced is, "how freeing." Then she gets a wistful look on her face and says, "Fear is a terrible age for being single. You look at the stranger lying in the bed next to you, and you hope he's not a psychopath, and if he is, that he'll finish you quickly. You're forty, fifty years old, and you realize that whatever good you might have salvaged from your marriage is buried under too much hurt."

    Bottom line on the movie, if you were a fan of Paul Reiser's Couplehood and other similar works, or are into movies that are about relationships deeper than Hugh Grant/Sandra Bullock, then you might enjoy this movie. There's some twists in it, and it's an ensemble cast that do a good job of explaining their entwining lives, turning over the concepts of love, marriage, fidelity, and interactions between men and women in long-standing relationships. There are a couple of laugh-out-loud spots, and there's a couple of spots where you nod in agreement... and the reason this got three rather than four stars: a couple of places that just didn't feel true, as if the writer couldn't bring himself to write the very painful parts.

    5 out of 5 stars Learn to Laugh at Yourself!.......2003-09-11

    This movie made me smile, or rather I should say I broke out in laughter many times! If you see the humor of the situations of "Sex in the City" or laugh at "Malcomb in the Middle" this movie is for you! The short scene in the strip club was probably the only scene to earn the R rating. Otherwise adult humor, some language.

    4 out of 5 stars Relationship strengths and weakness.......2003-08-17

    I really enjoyed this movie! it was amusing as well as thought provoking. I could recognize the characters played out in this film as folks I meet everyday!For those who are involved in long term relationships this film although quite comical can deliver some AHA! insights into male and female interaction and relationship priorities!!

    3 out of 5 stars Make your own opinion! ;).......2003-03-13

    Now that I'm in charge of ordering videos for a public library, I can say, it's not everything I thought it would be. It's work! So here I am getting a complaint from a patron that the video was too offensive to circulate in our video collection.
    According to a patron there was a scene at the beginning of the movie in a strip bar.

    OK, so here I am not only in charge of ordering videos, my boss now asks me to take the video home and to review it. OK this movie was not bad at all. I just dread in the future taking home sleepers (if you know what I mean)

    The movie:
    The initial scene sets the stage of the movie which is basically a husband that got depressed when his wife ran off after an argument. Basically we now have an upset husband who's friend asks him to go out and forget about the argument to a strip bar. It just happens his wife follows him there. Thus, we have a very simple story, jealous wife, and conversations that reside over this argument. If you're looking for action, adventure, mystery or anything else, you might want to look somewhere else. This might have turned me off at the inset of the movie when I found out where it was leading. So my main concern, for my life at the job, was to review the offensive content. A few minutes into the movie was about as far as it went. The strip club which included a lap dance with each husband was the content of the complaint. For those of you who do not know what a lap dance is, it is a dance where the clothes of the dancer usually comes off. For those of you who know the Lambada, it's one step more or should I say it's 1 piece of article less. I don't want to get too explicit here but there is nothing to get explicit about. That was the extent of it. Talking from a guy who has seen other movies with 10 times more vulgarity or more explicit sexual content, I'd have to say that it was nothing more than a quick view. I believe that patron played off the anger of the wife who was kind of unbelievable in my eyes. My personal opinion is that she was a little too concerned about a girl pressed against her husband. This is what though, make your own opinion on a scene that end there.

    The rest of the movie and my attitude toward the two wives did get better as the movie persued. Not that I'd be on the womens side.... HECK NO :) But they weren't so unbelievable in their actions after a typical bad fight.

    Let me conclude that I could believe that this movie is more geared towards a women's side of the argument than a guys side. So if you are looking for a lot of fun, intelligent humor, or driving force to keep the movie running, I'd say look away. If you have been in that situation a number of times and can get amused by such a scenario, take out the popcorn, pop in the video and keep on smiling at each little comment from both parties. I rated this with 3 stars down the middle of my scale because it is really geared for a certain audience and an average audience I believe should neither hate it or love it.
