Invasion of the Star Creatures (1962)
Over 100 laughs in this movie.
I am shocked by the low rating for this movie. Though not a "great movie," it is a funny movie. I have seen so-called comedy movies that don't have a single laugh inside. I think all of the bad reviews of this movie are because the reviewers were not fully awake and missed such things as the old movie stars referenced in the film. There are instances in the movie where "Penn" does imitations of movie stars such as Jimmy Cagney and Edgar G. Robinson. Those reviewers were just not paying attention or maybe they are just ignorant. Penn and Philbreck act like they are Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall of the Bowery Boys for most of the movie. This movie is good for a barrel of laughs. If you like comedy you should like this movie.
2012: The Odyssey (2007)
Probably worst film ever made.
I love movies even those that are so bad that they are good, unintentionally funny, such as "Plan 9 From Outer Space." I watched the first eleven minutes and it was the worst first eleven minutes of any movie I have ever seen. An unidentified voice is speaking and also little known people are speaking about spiritual beliefs mixed with unconnected opinions about Mayans, etc.
There is no appeal to logic or reason in the movie or even to say what the movie is supposed to be about. Even the camera lighting is missing as a guy gives his opinions where his face lacks lighting. This movie is complete garbage with no redeeming qualities and painful to watch. The makers of this movie make Ed Wood look like Orson Welles. This is the only movie that I would like to throw under a truck.
The Undefeated (2011)
The Movie Is Pro Palin, but the Facts Are True
I am a political moderate and don't agree with Sarah Palin on such things as religion, evolution, abortion and gay rights. However, as the movie shows she is a remarkable fine woman who has done wonderful things in Alaska by fighting corruption and fighting the oil companies so that Alaska could get its fair share of oil money.
The movie starts by showing the unrestrained and even insane hatred some liberals, leftists and show biz people have for her: about 5 minutes or more of prominent people in the media doing obscenity laden rants of hatred looking like they want to murder Sarah Palin on the spot. That was scary to watch.
The rest of the movie is all pro Palin, but it is true information. Some of the parts have over-dramatic symbolic things going on. Also, it does show some of the sneering media attacks on her to falsely portray her as dumb. The hatred against her has not slowed down even as one can see in many of the reviews here. The Obama supporters have put in hateful reviews and dumped here a mass of scores of "one." It is very doubtful that even a modest portion of them actually watched the movie.
They have this rabid insane hatred of Sarah Palin because she is a threat to Obama staying in the White House and other liberal politicians staying in power. Also, the truth makes people furious. To counter the truth they tell lies about Sarah Palin. They don't want any open minded people seeing this movie. Yes, even though the movie is all pro Palin it is good because it gives her real life story. I give it a 9 score.
Hell on Wheels (1967)
The music is wonderful with Marty Robbins, Connie Smith, etc.
I don't like race car driving, especially in a circle, but this 1967 movie is great. The star is Marty Robbins. He is a wonderful singer who in addition to his many country hits even had a giant Rock & Roll hit in 1956, "A White Sport Coat." Connie Smith also sings, and she was then the number one female singer in Country Music. In the 60's and 70's she had many hits, including one, "Once a Day", which was number one on the Billboard charts for eight weeks making it the biggest hit recording in all of the history of Country Music ever recorded by a female singer. In the mid 60's she had three number one (on the Billboard charts) record albums. She is the best female singer ever recorded.
Also, appearing in this movie is the Stoneman Family, a bluegrass country folk band, who were even popular with San Franciscans at the Winterland Auditorium. Together they sold many millions of record albums and CDs. This movie's villains are old, wimpy, and are so vastly outnumbered by the good guys that the atmosphere is relaxed. The movie is an excuse to show the wonderful singing and music.
This is the last real movie of long time child star Gigi Perreau. Also, it stars Bob Dornan in one of his last movies. He went on to politics being elected to Congress from California for many years, and he got the nickname B-1 Bob, for promoting the B-1 Bomber. Contrary to someone's comment there is no nose picking in this movie. See this movie for the singing and music.
