Note to theater-owners: If you ever need a Midnight Movie--other than RHPS, that is--please, consider this little gem. It is MST3K-style comedy GOLD, I tell you! It's has everything a cult movie should need to be popular: wooden acting, goofy dialogue, what-the-hell-is-THIS-doing-here musical numbers, racism, misogyny, and much, much, more. The girls are as cute as they are dumb, and the men are...well...let's just say they make Ryan Seacrest look ultra macho. The basic plot is that a young, vaguely Canadian hillbilly (Bobby "In-it-for-the-money" Vee) saves the, ahem, "girl" (Jackie "Just-payin'-the-mortgage" DeShannon) from a faded projection background...I mean, car accident. When they get to the University, it's revealed that (A) she's the dean's daughter, and (B) there's about to be a "Revoluton". (Excuse me while I try to overcome the Giggles.) Throughout this film Bobby and Jackie demonstrate two different schools of acting: She coming from the Marlo Thomas School; He, Pia Zadora. In short, you'll laugh (for all the wrong reasons), you'll cry (from chuckling so hard), you'll get constipated (from all of the cheese fed from this movie)!

This is one of those movies that's so mind-numbingly cheesy and camp, you have to watch it again...just to figure out what the heck you just saw! The dress, music and slang terms are so corny, that you just KNOW they're trying too hard to be trendy. The acting--and I use the term very loosely--varies somewhere below Pia Zadora and somewhere above any actor in an Ed Wood film; the two of the aforementioned are Frankie "In-It-For-The-Money" Avalon and Julian "Permanent-Blank-Stare" Barnes. Then there's the misleading title. I personally expected the supernatural to play a part in it somewhere, or an ax-wielding murderer. Unfortunately, this is in essence a whodunit. So, if you want any horror, or anything haunted, this is SO not the film for you!

First of all, we all know that Spice World isn't the best film ever made. However it's not a bad as...well...You-Know-What starring B.A. and J.Lo.

But back to Spice World.

I think it depends on your state of mind when you're viewing this potential camp classic. You might enjoy this if you (a)in a Party-Hearty mood, or (b) If your day is sucking and you are not in the mood to think for 90 minutes.

If you are the type who critiques the hell out of every single film, you might want to reconsider.

I find the movie "Daydream Believers" quite enjoyable. The attenton to detail and using the original songs of The Monkees really puts a very delightful touch to the film. However, some of the performances have plenty to be desired--George Stanchev(Davy Jones) and Jeff Geddis(Mike Nesmith), to be specific. I don't know why, but their performances seemed a bit stiff when I saw them; It was almost as if they're trying too hard to become their characters. On contrast, L.B. Fisher plays a very convincing (and very intelligent)Peter Tork by simply going with the flow. Aaron Lohr (Micky Dolenz) is the obvious standout in the film. He plays the role with such kinetic energy it's impossible not to notice him. Hollywood should take notice of Lohr "poste haste".

If you're fed up to the back teeth with pretty young things with silicone enhanced breasts and un-enhanced talent, this is the movie for you! The team of Collins, Reynolds, and McClaine are a laugh riot in their roles as mature actresses with less-than mature mentalities, libidinous tendecies, and old grudges. And speaking of mature...well...let's just say that most of the humor is a bit too hot for children. (Especially when Collins' Mobster boyfriend...Nah, I'm not givin' it away!)

There are basically two types of b-movies. Some of the aforementioned film you never want to see in life...EVER! Then there are the rare exceptions, the ones that are so bad they're actually entertaining. "Vegas In Space" fits into the latter category. Sure, the effects aren't exactly CGI-produced, and the dialogue isn't really Oscar-worthy, but who cares? It is a fun little movie that I would like to see over and over again. It has that "Barbarella"-"Valley of the Dolls" vibe to this film, which I absolutely love. It doesn't try to change the world or solve any problems; it just tells you sit down, relax, and look fabulous doing it.

There's more than one reason to like this film. First, there is the undeniable sexual tension between Alison Folland and Tara Subkoff; there seems to be a certain on-again/off-again quality that is often seen in a heterosexual light. There is also the soundtrack, which ranges from Patti Smith to the Blue Mountain Ozarks'(?) classic, "Jackie Blue". There's also the story itself (which I will not detail here). The only regret that I have about the film is that it is too short.
