Kevin Bacon gives one of the best, most nuanced performances of his career in The Woodsman, a daring and thought-provoking drama he co-produced with his wife, Kyra Sedgwick. In portraying a convicted pedophile named Walter, recently released from prison and struggling to rebuild his life, Bacon and writer-director Nicole Kassell (making her feature-film debut) do a remarkable job of exploring all facets of this troubling yet very human character, from his continuing criminal impulses to the despair he feels over having to conceal his horrible past. Sedgwick costars as the one woman who appears willing to accept Walter, secrets and all, and while The Woodsman takes a few regrettable shortcuts in illustrating Walter's quest for the good man he can be, the film deserves to be seen and discussed as a provocative yet admirably humane study of an individual whom society may too quickly label a "monster." The film allows for different interpretations, and that complexity--along with Bacon's performance--makes it worthy of a wide and hopefully understanding audience. --Jeff ShannonCustomer Reviews:

Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity

A pair of bikini-clad babes escape from a deep-space prison ship and crash-land on a remote jungle planet. They're greeted by a pair of bickering robots, two other stranded travelers, and a flamboyant hunter who's grown bored of wild animals and prefers to pick off his guests in nightly adventures. "You've got spirit. This will be fun," he says, smiling wickedly while sizing up his latest prey. While the film is never quite as campy as its title would suggest, this trashy remake of The Most Dangerous Game delivers on everything else: studio-bound jungle chases through mist-shrouded sets, B-movie starlets in skimpy outfits, medieval castles in the technologically advanced future, and the obligatory succession of topless scenes. Shakespeare this ain't, and frankly writer-director-producer Ken Dixon can't summon the barest hint of style to enliven the usual clichés, but the comic bluntness serves its purpose, and Dixon does deliver striking sets and a few slick special effects that belie his meager budget. Cindy Beal and Elizabeth Kaitan play the bodacious fugitives, and kittenish cult actress Brinke Stevens costars as a previously grounded babe in reserve. --Sean AxmakerCustomer Reviews:

Two prisoners, Daria (Elizabeth Kaitan) and Tisa (Cindy Beal), find themselves in quite a predicament. Locked away in a cage on a transport barge, the two must discover some way to escape before the overlords of the ship sell them into slavery. One of the girls figures out how to break their chains-must have studied physics in high school-and the two overpower their guards and escape in a smaller spaceship. Adrift in deep space, Daria and Tisa worry whether they will ever find a civilized planet on which to land. Just when the situation looks bleak, the ship picks up a signal from a nearby planet. The ship crash-lands on the planet and the two are briefly separated. They reunite at a medieval looking castle in the middle of a jungle owned by a man named Zed (Don Scribner). This guy, who has two robot helpers, already plays host for two other crash survivors-Shela (Brinke Stevens) and Rik (Carl Horner). Daria and Tisa soon learn that Zed is a little odd, that he likes to spend his time playing weird holographic musical instruments, hosting lavish dinners, and hunting. Especially hunting. Zed's huge basement is loaded with trophies celebrating his excursions into the jungle.
Our heroines soon discover that Zed likes to hunt humans instead of animals. He draws wayfarers to the planet only so he can turn them loose in the jungle and, using his robots as hounds, flush them into the open to finish them off. Daria and Tisa, along with Rik and Shela, will soon form the next contingent for a new hunting expedition. In the meantime, the girls discover what Zed is up to and attempt to escape. No good. Zed is determined to hunt, so after recapturing the cuties he cuts them loose with a few weapons and instructions about how to play the game. It's to the credit of our heroines that they aren't willing to just lie down and accept their fate. They truly fight to stay alive despite the traps, the slanted odds of the game, and the dangerous wildlife in the jungle. There's the noble sacrifice, the discovery of a strange alien structure, and the usual table turning moment. You can probably guess how this one ends. If not, you ought to. So many other films have ripped this idea off that you have definitely seen some version of the story at some point in your life.
I incorrectly labeled "Slave Girls From Beyond Infinity" as a B movie, and it is, but I should make a distinction between the special effects (certainly B budget) and the acting, dialogue, and pacing. The latter is pure Z grade schlock, with the characters tossing off brain deadening dialogue and one-liners even as they prance around in bikinis and lingerie. Where did they get these clothes, anyway? Zed lives in a huge castle with everything he could want. Couldn't he at least have the decency to find a pair of pants for these gals? Actually, the skimpy outfits make the film somewhat impressive. How much cooler is it for a couple of woman to stand up to two robots and a heavily armed man in a bikini than wearing shirts, pants, and shoes? Anyway, the pacing of the film positively drags even though the movie only runs for seventy some minutes. The acting, too, is the pits. It's a sad commentary on the state of cinema when you watch a movie like this one and recognize that the robots turned in the best performances. Still, discerning viewers can distill a few interesting things about the future by watching the movie. For example, at some point when spaceships exist, the fashion trends and hairstyles of the 1980's will make a comeback. I kept expecting that guy from A Flock of Seagulls to step out of the shadows like some bizarrely coiffed Rod Serling clone, telling us the movie an illusion.
Extras on the DVD version, if memory serves me correctly, consisted of several trailers for cheese classics like "The Creepozoids." I can't really recommend this film to anyone. It's too corny for science fiction fans, too non-horror for the horror crowd, and too foolhardy for lovers of tongue in cheek comedy. Even viewers looking for girls walking around in next to nothing might be disappointed. The image of beauty has obviously changed quite a bit between 1987 and now. These girls will probably do nothing to raise the pulse of today's young male audiences. Give it a shot if you just have to see it. Others, stay light years away.
Average Buxom Slave Warrior in Outer Space Camp Fare.......2004-03-11
This is almost literally an exact remake of 'The Most Dangerous Game', with a few added mutants and bickering androids for good measure. There is actually not much nudity, and what little bit there is not what you would call titillating. This should have been a more upbeat, fun camp classic, but it tried to be too many things. Notably the director attempts to make it genuinely scary and suspenseful during the hunting scenes, but given the silly nature of the material they are working with, the end product never seems to quite click as a movie.
I have seen funny and campy sci-fi, which I like, and I have seen scary sci-fi, which I also like. Unfortunately this movie presses a little too hard to be both, and it comes up a bit short in the end.

The Outer Limits - The New Series (2005) (Aliens Among Us/Death & Beyond/Fantastic Androids & Robots/Mutation and Transformation/Sex & Science Fiction/Time Travel & Infinity Collections)

ASIN: B0007XG2YS Release Date: 2005-06-21 |
Amazon.com
There is nothing wrong with your DVD player: the creative minds behind the 1995-2002 version of The Outer Limits offer you six volumes of imaginative science fiction culled from the series to entertain and astound you. Viewers should know that this boxed set does not compile the complete series, but rather it takes 36 episodes from the show's full run and groups them by theme; also, two of the six volumes have been previously released as single discs (Time Travel and Infinity and Sex and Science Fiction were released in '02),but Aliens Among Us, Mutation and Transformation, Fantastic Androids and Robots, and Death and Beyond are brand new (and are also available as single discs).But that shouldn't stop both first-time travelers to The Outer Limits and veteran explorers from picking up this set, because it contains some of the program's most intriguing episodes, including the Emmy- and Gemini-winning "A Stitch in Time" with Amanda Plummer; "I, Robot," a remake of an original Outer Limits episode, and starring Leonard Nimoy; "The Grell," with Star Trek: The Next Generation's Marina Sirtis; "Double Helix," with Ron Rifkin and Ryan Reynolds in an unorthodox exploration of genetics; and "Beyond the Veil," with Michael O'Keefe in a story about alien abduction. Each disc offers "Origins of The Outer Limits," a talking-heads interview with the show's creators, as well as featurettes on the making of the episodes compiled on each disc (the Sex and Sci-Fi and Aliens Among Us discs offer slight variations on this format by offering a multi-part featurette and a documentary on a single episode, respectively). --Paul GaitaCustomer Reviews:

ASIN: B000068V9T Release Date: 2002-09-03 |

The consequences of time travel are the thematic framework for this compilation of episodes from the revamped Outer Limits anthology series, produced for the Showtime network. The six stories compiled here are indicative of the new version's competent but uneventful nature; scripting, performances, and direction (all hampered by the program's low budget) rarely live up to the plots' potential or the drama and suspense of the original series. Amanda Plummer's Emmy-winning turn as a scientist who travels 50 years into the past to commit a murder in the Season Two episode "A Stitch in Time" is the highlight of the disc; the rest (culled from the series' seven-season run) offer well-worn variations on time travel themes. The full-frame disc includes "The Outer Limits Story," which offers talking-head interviews with executive producers Pen Densham and Mark Stern, as well as featurettes on each episode. --Paul GaitaDescription
