Vibes (1988)
Good Clean Fun
Whatever the quality of the acting, the scenery, the locations etc., this movie is just good clean fun - so much so that you can see the actors themselves grinning during certain scenes.
There are some great one-liners, some unique actions - find the "handshake" at the racetrack for a good example.
The opening music is dramatic (low end's are cool) and Cyndi's closing number is a classic.
Yes, this film is not as sophisticated as many others but who want's sophistication all the time? I've chilled out in front of this movie several times and find it as endearing and never one I'd want to sleep through!
If you get a chance to see it, then do so - chill out, have a laugh!
The People (1972)
Ouch!
After spending more than a year tracking this movie down, I finally found one on ebay.
Yes, it's disappointing to anyone who's read the books and it is based more on the story Pottage and certainly not the entire book. Francher doesn't belong in Bendo and neither does Bethie. The film takes elements from a few of Zenna's stories and creates a tale from them to fit a typical 70's TV movie.
It's ok but not what any devotee of Zenna Hendersons work would expect but if, like me, you have taken the People to heart, then this is a nice movie to add to your collection.
