Skin Eating Jungle Vampires (2002)
Mr. Creepo... More Like Mr. Cheapo
Nothing redeeming to be found in this movie! It's a very bad soft-porn movie.
It looks like it was recorded using a VHS-C camcorder with a $5 lens taped to it. It's shot in standard definition and many of the scenes are out of focus except near the center of the screen. At least 95% of the dialog was over-dubbed and about half of that has the sound quality of a landline telephone.
It was a waste of time writing the story, a waste of videotape to record it, and a waste of time to make the movie. The plot is very weak and the script is poorly written. The acting is also very bad. About 20% of the movie is just repeated shots of wildlife that has absolutely nothing to do with the movie, not to mention the large amount of scenes showing the lead actress just wandering around aimlessly looking for her missing sister.
I recommend skipping this one entirely.
Alexander the Great (1963)
Short movie about Alexander's battle where he counquered King Darius
A decent little flick that is so short you won't have time to get bored. I couldn't help but see Adam West as Batman in this, but fortunately Shatner was able to shed his stereotypical acting style.
For those asking and looking for a copy of this movie, it's on The Sensational Sixties 50 Movie DVD set. Look on eBay, you can probably find it for less than $20.
The Hollywood Palace: Episode #7.16 (1970)
Typical Don Knotts,But Worth a Look
I recently watched this episode of "The Hollywood Palace" variety show on Amazon Prime. Don Knotts is the host of this episode. His humor is typical, but throws in a few good zingers now and then. Joey Heatherton is the highlight of this episode. She's stunning in her opening dancing and singing act! Jimmy Durante's bits were pretty good, while the rest of the guests were fair to not very memorable.
Battling Beauties (1983)
Fair
As the other reviewer stated, the cutting of the matches really lowers the quality of this video. It's badly chopped up.
I question the 1983 release date because my VHS copy has a date of 1993. The bikinis the girls are wearing definitely look more like styles from 1993 rather than 1983 styles. My 1993 copy has the exact same cast, so I'm thinking this may be a typo.
The girls are hot and it's still fun to watch even with its poor editing. Much of it appears staged, but I don't think that would be a surprise to anyone. You can't go wrong with mud wrestling and the oil wrestling is even better. At times, the boxing turns into wrestling and some tempers appear to flare, but I'm sure it's at least 90% staged.
On the Waterways (1991)
Great mini-series about the history of some of the eastern US's waterways
I watched this mini-series when it was first aired on PBS and I fell in love with it instantly. If you love boats, the water and history, it will keep you interested from beginning to end. The entire series was filmed by amateur, collegiate students aboard a motor vessel named "Driftwood." All throughout the journey, they stop at various places and towns. While in each place, they talk to locals about the history of the area, its people, and how the waterway has affected them or how they have affected the waterway. Jason Robards does an excellent job narrating the series and many of the locals that they talked with are quite interesting and entertaining at times. I was fortunate to find the complete series on VHS tape many years ago and I still enjoy re-watching them.
