I never liked grasshoppers, but I love this movie.......2007-04-02

This is classic black and white sci-fi. Very entertaining. And to think Peter Graves has gone on to doing such meaningful commercials with lines such as putting on tangerine lip gloss, answering the door and feeling like one lucky woman! Must see!

Bugs and more bugs, I hate them. .......2007-03-14

I cannot stand creepy crawlers. However this movie had a very good story I just wished they did not show those bugs so much. The movie and the performance was very good. A good movie to watch if you don't mind the bugs.

BIG BUG ATTACK!!!!!!.......2007-02-12

THIS IS THE ONE!!! Giant grasshoppers attack Chicago via Naperville( I WISH!!!). Great B-Movie/Sci-Fi trash on a pristine LOOKS-AS-THO-IT-WERE-RELEASED Yesterday print!!!
Peter Graves ( KILLERS FROM SPACE, RED PLANET MARS )is the atomic-hero; sexy Peggie Castle moves things along.
Buy the IMAGE dvd...it cost more, but YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT...I DID!!!...You certainly won't regret it. SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!

Hooooeeeee!!!.......2007-01-14

One of the best 'Grasshoppers crawling up postcard photos of buildings' that youre ever likely to see.
Special Efffects budget: $6.27-and $6.00 of it went to buy the grasshoppers, many of whom decided they had no interest in being in a Hollywood "B" picture-and hopped away.

"The Deadly Mantis" is surely better than this?

Waste Of Time? You Must Be Joking!.......2006-08-05

John Q Repub's comments (why put the repub in the name don't give us all a bad name!lol) saying this is a waste of time is a lame putdown. Beginning of the End will not hold up well to adult film critics, its cheesy and cheap. But man it was a hell of a lot of fun to watch as a kid on creature features. There's a few of these flicks about end of the world scenerios and either robots or grasshoppers or aliens or whatever taking over, it was all great! While this is nowhere close to an Invaders From Mars, its a pretty cool flick and just begging to be shown to your 4-10 year old kids/grandkids, have fun! Waste of time my eye! I see great fun!

The inner ring of Japanese defense in the Pacific lay across five island groups. Control of these islands would open up the road to the Philippines, allow American B-29 Super fortresses to wage unrestricted bombing of Japan, and set the stage for the conquest of the last two innermost islands, Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

In this program, we follow the operations of the U.S. Marine Corp as they crack the inner ring of Japan's defensive perimeter and prepare for the final assault on the Japanese home islands.

Leapin' locusts! It's giant-insect time again, only this time the radiation from an agricultural experiment has turned Chicago into a breeding ground for gargantuan grasshoppers. It's all courtesy of '50s sci-fi schlockmeister Bert I. Gordon of The Amazing Colossal Man fame, and with Peter Graves as the nominal bug-busting hero, it's no wonder the guys at MST3K decided to roast this 1957 turkey on their popular TV show. But which is funnier, the movie itself or the skewering it gets from the snickering silhouettes of Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo? No matter, because you can have it both ways on this dubious DVD--plain or nutty! Some of the MST3K gags are cleverly twisted for trivia buffs (as when a cop approaches a wrecked car and Tom Servo says, "Uh... Miss Mansfield?" or when the sight of falling grasshoppers yields the ad-lib "Carry on our businesssssss..."). There are more hits than misses, and the movie's every bit as awful... er, great... as it sounds! --Jeff Shannon

Description

A mad scientist attempts to drive his captive, Mike Nelson, insane by forcing him to watch B-Movies. This episode's feature is "The Beginning of the End" (1957, 76 min.) - An enterprising journalist investigates the story of giant grasshoppers accidentally created at the Illinois State experimental farm. She struggles to save the city of Chicago, despite military resistance in their efforts to cover-up.

Customer Reviews:

I GREW UP ON THESE MOVIES! MST 3K TAKES ON AN OLD FAVORITE!.......2007-06-07

Well it's a good thing I have a sense of humor,because this film holds fond memories for me. I know it is a ridiculous movie,but I like it! What can I say? The special effects are beyond horrible. The scene when the giant grasshoppers are climbing the building near the end of the picture is a photograph with real grasshoppers crawling on it!..hysterically funny stuff. When you add the gang of MST3K in, you know your in for some fun!

The Crow Of Diamonds?.......2007-02-06

Another Bert I. Gordon masterpiece, "The Beginning of the End" features a wooden Peter Graves waxing philosophic about the effects of radiation on locusts (not grasshoppers), which have grown to varying sizes and are maurauding through an oddly-mountainous Illinois, dispatching of entire towns. Graves is accompanied by a plucky female journalist and (briefly) a deaf-mute gardening assistant. Add in half-hearted special effects (shot after shot of locusts crawling up postcards of buildings) and some leery directing (an opening car sequence that takes forever to end; a lascivious locust staring into an apartment at a freshly showered woman in a towl), and you've got your typical D-Grade schlock.

This is one of the first episodes from the Mike Nelson season (the back of the DVD box features Joel's friendly mug; don't be fooled), and as such, there is some hesitancy in the jokes, some ground feeling. The opening host segment -- where Mike receives a bizarre phone call from a trailer trash mom who thinks he's someone else -- sets a great tone for the show, as does the invention exchange (the "Re-Comfy-Bike" and new playing cards), but the movie is such a dud that the riffs are often repetitive and rare.

The host segments inject a bit of life into the dullness. One of them though, a deliberately non-funny stand-up routine by Tom, is SO deliberately non-funny that it ... well, it really isn't funny, mirroring in a sad way the status of the entire film. The joke of the show hinges on movies that are so bad they're funny, but every once in a while the MST3K crew finds a movie that's so bad it's, well, it's nothing but bad. "The Beginning of the End" comes close to that; after all, there are only so many jokes that can be made about long, ponderous silences and recycled dialogue/scenes. Mike and the bots do the best they can here, but the end result is just so-so. For die-hard collectors only.

"Hi. I'm Peter Graves...".......2005-06-23

I can see MST3K co-writer/performer Trace Beaulieu was just itchin' for the show to get a bad movie with Peter Graves in it so's he could do his impression of the "Mission: Impossible" star for all the world to see (and be annoyed with). And, thanks to the future A&E Biographer starring in "The Beginning of the End"-- which sounds a heckuva lot better than "Attack of the Giant Mutant Grasshoppers", which is what its title SHOULD have been-- the man you all know as Dr. Clayton Forrester and the voice of Crow T. Robot finally gets his wish. Check out the intermission sketch where Crow and his SOL cohorts rehearse an appallingly ponderous script about Peter Graves' college years at the University of Minnesota, and you'll see what I mean. Thanks to this downright dumb moment, I'm liable to deck the next guy who utters, "Hi. I'm Peter Graves" in that trademark voice...

Annoying impressions aside, "The Beginning of the End" is one of the better flicks MST3K has taken upon itself to mercilessly goof on. There's plenty of laugh-out-loud jabs and more than a few so-dumb-they're-funny groaners (Like Tom referring to some store mannequins as being "scared stiff"). This one also has a few gags that take a second to sink in before you say, "D'oh!" and find yourself in disbelief that you didn't catch on to it sooner than ya did. Then there's the opposite type of gag, the one you can see comin' from a mile away (like Tom's shouting out the lyrics of a Monkees song in response to something a bit character utters). But even though you just knew it was comin', you simply can't believe they actually said it!

The only real drawback I saw in this presentation was the last third of the film before the climax, where our beloved SOL denizens were havin' a hard time coming up with anything particularly hilarious. Fortunately, the buildup to the climax (where the locusts invade Chicago) managed to wrangle a rather festive array of zingers from relative newcomer (at the time) Mike Nelson and the droids. Especially fun is the locusts attacking postcards of various Chicago skyscrapers, a little something the terrible trio would reenact with their vacation postcards at the end of the show.

Bottom line: While I usually find MST3K funny, its hilarity tends to be inconsistent. For every couple of really good yuk-wranglers, there's one that's mediocre, and one that's hardly funny at all. Fortunately, this one definitely falls into the "yuk-wranglers" category, albeit not as big a "yuk-wrangler" as the terrible trio's cut-down of "The Brain That Wouldn't Die". None the less, this one's highly recommended.

Also of interest: this platter not only contains the MST3K rendition of "The Beginning of the End", it also has the uncut version of the flick on the flip side so's you can do your own goofing! I tried my hand at it, and I must admit I'm not quite as good at it as Mike and the `Bots are. `Course, even without any snide commentary or razor-tongued put-downs, the flick's pretty danged funny all on its own. Sadly, the "choose which version you want to watch" feature is absent on the more recent MST3K DVD releases...

Grasshoppers crawl across postcards, and MST3K is there.......2005-04-25

Hello. I'm Peter Graves. Granted, my Peter Graves impersonation works much better when you can actually hear me do it, but you can't talk about MST3K's hilarious send-up of The Beginning of the End without following in Crow's footsteps and doing constant Peter Graves impressions. This is classic MST3K, the fifth experiment featuring Mike Nelson as the human test subject on the Satellite of Love. Those of us Joel loyalists who feared for the future of the show needn't have worried, as Mike took his new role in front of the cameras and flew with it. He was, of course, helped greatly by movies such as this one. Any Bert I. Gordon film featuring music by Albert Glasser was basically made to be riffed, and Mike and the Bots really have at it here.

The film itself features gigantic locusts laying waste to the state of Illinois, and the finest military force in the world finds itself thoroughly licked by the onslaught. Of course, things don't start out with a lot of excitement. This is a Bert I. Gordon movie, after all. The very first shot after the opening credits shows us a road with a vehicle approaching in the distance - way back in the distance, so far back you sit there and sit there wondering if anything is actually going to happen before you even spot the car. Then, Gordon throws us right into a big mystery; it seems the town of Ludlow, Illinois, has been destroyed, its population of 150 vanished into thin air. The National Guard's there, but they aren't talking, not even to famous journalist Audrey Ames (Peggy Castle). As the story begins to emerge, though, she joins up with Dr. Wainwright (Graves), a local entomologist, and quickly discovers that it's all Wainwright's fault. He's the one who was growing all the radioactive super-sized vegetables, which proved to be quite appetizing to locusts, and now there's a bazillion of the little buggers grown to immense size and destroying everything in their path. Surprisingly, the military folks don't immediately embrace this story of a plague of gigantic locusts, but they soon learn just what they are up against - and fail miserably when they try to take the critters out. Emerging out of the, ahem, world-famous Illinois mountains, the horde of mega-locusts make a, ahem, bee-line for Chicago - apparently, the locusts are Cubs fans who just can't take bear the thought of another season without a pennant. Perhaps the very fate of humanity rests in Peter Graves' hands, and his ultimate solution involves giving a locust a lie-detector test. Run for your lives!

Once the locusts get to Chicago, Bert I. Gordon goes a little crazy showing grasshoppers crawling all over postcards (I mean, buildings). There's no way the guys at Best Brains could have resisted riffing such a film. The fun doesn't stop in the theater, either. Poor naïve Mike sneaks an unscheduled peak at the Mads in the middle of the film - and it's not pretty. You also get Tom Servo's unique one-man comedy show inspired by The Beginning of the End, the unveiling of Dr. Forrester's super-comfy Re-comfy Bike, and - best of all - a little production of Crow's screenplay all about Peter Graves' years at the University of Minnesota. All of this comes together to make experiment # 517, The Beginning of the End, one of the MST3K commercial releases you really shouldn't do without.

Saving the world from giant grasshoppers.......2005-02-17

A review by the students in ENT 201, Insects on Film (Clemson University, Clemson, SC) Spring 2005

When better to meet your new man than while saving the world from GIANT radioactive grasshoppers! That's what happened to Audrey Ames in Beginning of the End. The black and white movie, produced in 1957, takes place in a small Illinois town called Ludlow, near the big city of Chicago. The main character, Audrey, is a persistent reporter who discovers a new and interesting story on her way to write about a lackluster flying demonstration. On her way to the flying demo, she is stopped at a roadblock in the town of Ludlow, Illinois. It seems that the town has been mysteriously destroyed overnight! Following a lead, Audrey goes to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and meets with the project director named Dr. Ed Wainwright in order to find out more about what happened. Dr. Wainwright tells Audrey about a wheat factory that was demolished in the same area before the destruction of Ludlow. Ed, Audrey and Ed's co-worker, Frank, go to investigate the abandoned grain bins. While they are there, a locust comes from the woods and eats Ed's co-worker. They finally realize what is destroying the towns and eating the people-although it's a little too late for poor Frank Johnson.

Determined to resolve the problem, the military enlists the help of Dr. Wainwright, who tries to find a sound frequency that mimics the sound grasshoppers make before they attack. The viewer of this film will be held in utter suspense, until, at a climatic moment, Dr. Wainwright discovers the right frequency and saves the city of Chicago from the military's impending drop of an atom bomb. The sound is broadcast from a boat in a lake outside of Chicago and the sound attracts the grasshoppers to the lake. As the grasshoppers follow the luring sound, they eventually end up in the lake where they meet a watery death. The city of Chicago is safe and everyone lives happily ever after (except, sadly, those who were eaten alive by the radioactive grasshoppers).

While this movie has extremely entertaining moments, such as when the grasshoppers scale the skyscrapers of Chicago looking for food-the movie, in general, is a B attempt at science fiction. Also, the movie was produced during the 1950s, resulting in minimal attempts at realistic special effects. The special effects are entertaining at best and add humor more than substance to the movie. The viewer also might be left with several questions after watching this movie-like why can't the National Guard protect the citizens from grasshoppers? Or, why is it more funny than tragic when Dr. Wainwright's deaf/mute assistance gets eaten alive by a grasshopper?

On a scientific or scholarly level, the movie has several errors. The most important error, in the entomological sense, is the noise that the grasshoppers make throughout the movie. To make the noise that they did in the movie, they would need wings. In the movie though, the characters say that the grasshoppers could not fly because they didn't have wings. Also, the scientist indicates that the giant vegetables were produced through radioactivity, which allows for photosynthesis to occur both day and night. For photosynthesis to occur, light must be present, thus raising the question of how the vegetables could continue to expand during the darkness of night. The inability of the grasshoppers to burn in the fires set by the military reflects an error as well. In reality, grasshoppers are highly flammable because of their wax-like coating. Finally, the plot as a whole is completely unrealistic and so bizarre that the movie should be placed in the comedy (opposed to science fiction) genre. While Clemson University research may have led to the evacuation of mole crickets from golf course greens, using technological concepts similar to those presented in the movie, the likelihood that radioactive grasshoppers would eat hundreds of people is improbable.

Beginning of the End is an amusing movie to watch! The acting is traditional of the sci-fi movies of the era. The special effects are mediocre, but the humor, in retrospect, is delightful. If you are a fan of cheesy sci-fi suspense movies, give this flick a try! You will not be disappointed. Who knows-maybe you'll learn something that could save the world the next time we are attacked by radioactive BUGS!

Description

Beginning with their first performances in Liverpool and Hamburg nightclubs, this documentary follows the incredible rise of the Beatles to a worldwide phenomenon. There are many "behind the scenes" insights into the group giving us a glimse into John, Paul, George and Ringo rarely seen. Follow the boys on their journey from their first film, through the recording of Sgt Pepper, through John & Yoko's Bed In, and more. The saga ends tragically with John's death and John looking back and answering questions on life, drugs and peace. It's a stirring tribute to the four boys from Liverpool who changed the direction of popular music forever.

Customer Reviews:

Far below expectations.......2004-12-16

I must admit, I baught this DVD due to the two good reviews it had on this site. I intended to use this DVD to help teach the Beatles in a music appreciation class. This is a horrible documentary. The production qualities are very poor, it is long and drawn out, and there is clearly some "screaming girls" sounds dubbed on it. I would not recommend this to any one except perhaps some die-hard Beatles fans who want to see some new footage.

Decent.......2004-10-24

I am an inveterate Beatles' fan and I admit I enjoyed this. There was some fresh film footage, but very little in the way of new material.

Still, it is a good "starter" film for people just becoming aware of the Beatles and their meteoric influence and indelible stamp on culture. I would far recommend the Beatles' Anthology over this one.

Don't Bother!.......2004-07-09

There are plenty of better DVD's about the Beatles out there. Save your money for one of those.

Interesting.......2004-05-22

I am a huge Beatles fan, and since nobody else has reviewed this dvd yet, I figured that I would. It is put together nicely and includes some new footage as far as I can tell, but then again I don't already own every Beatles' dvd out there. Unlike some dvds which just include a bunch of clips with no explanations, this documentary gives a brief history of the Beatles so that the footage makes sense for a beginner. There are also some good shots of John and Yoko's bed-in for peace that I hadn't seen before on some of their other dvds. Although the Beatles Anthology is by far the best set out there, this one is worth the money if you don't have $50 to spend on the Anthology dvds.

A lot more information about Elvis from different people who were interviewed that knew Elvis. A lot of footage where he grew up in Memphis. The narrator had researched a lot of information about Elvis through archive and it is very touching how Elvis became famous and did not forget where he came from and the people he grew up with. Elvis is indeed very generous and very religious person. His life ended, but his memory still lives!!

I was born in 1951, I did not know Elvis way back then. I started buying his DVDs and CDs just few months ago and I am touched by the way he generously had given most of what he had to charities, to his friends and to people who came to him for financial help. Deep in Elvis heart, he seeked for God, and his Gospel songs proved it. I highly recommend this DVD to own!!

Once you get past the jiggles . . . It's a horror flick........2005-07-26

As with much of this mini-series noted for it's ridiculously buxom female characters, you begin not to notice the character designs but the actual story that's going on. I think the fact that you start paying attention to the story is testament that the writing is actually pretty good.
In this volume we get to the end of the show and the loose ends get tied up rather well. The pseudo-science is quite interesting as the disturbing plot twists keep coming and the horror of the watcher's nest and it's citizens is revealed.
. . . Misaki finds out just what she is . . .
The horror is more cerebral than anything but it should make you think.
The best meter that I have for any anime is RE-watch-ability. The 3-D CGI leaves something to be desired but the character development and the ideas that are tossed at you can make you go back and dig for more.

I just wish the girls weren't bustier than Dolly Parton . . but, like I said, I think you'll get past it.

Shocking! Stage set for season 2, Misaki Chronicles!.......2005-07-11

The third and final volume for season 1 of Divergence Eve brings startling suspense, horror, and shocking revelations.

Trying to do her best, Misaki cannot help but fear that the path she is going, is possibly the wrong one. When Watcher's Nest tries to stop the Ghoul, an event will occur that was foreshadowed in the first episode, bringing a sad and horrible death to one of the cast. The death is nothing short of bloody, and adds sadness to the death of the character. However, LeBlanc, one of the Watcher's Nest crew, has plans for Misaki, and those plans don't involve saving the station or its crew. After some horrible truths and turns of events, Misaki is left at a point where her choice could decide the fate of everyone she knows.

And with season 1 done, season 2 dubbed "Divergence Eve: Misaki Chronciles", continues the story, but isn't yet released on DVD. The music for this last DVD for season 1 continues to play well, and the character interaction is top notch. Once again, though the women may be 'big', it doesn't detract from the story. Much like the two DVDs, some fan service is there, but it's not over powering, and the women act like normal women. The mood is very dark and tragic, and some scenes are even hard to stomach. Now we can't help but bite our lips in anticipation as we now have to wait for season 2 of Divergence Eve to be released.

Thank me for saving you money.......2004-10-31

I bought this DVD at Wal-mart for about $11. I took it home and watched bits and pieces of it. I was just too board to sit through it all. I hate it when I read the back of the DVD and it states that there are rare footage's on this DVD.....Horse Hockey!! If you got the DVD's and Video's of Elvis In Hollywood or Elvis 56....then you'll won't see any new footage on this DVD. In this DVD you'll here this corny music. This DVD has a POOR and CHEAP quality. There is this one guy that is a fan club president up in New York that's teaching the wrong versions of the stories of Elvis. I wish I could kick his rear for claiming he is an expert on Elvis history. Don't waste your money.... Fan's like us get sucker into these DVD's and wish they can get their money back... I threw mine in the trash and said the hell with this Crap.... I can't wait for "This Is Elvis" Special Edition to come out.
