All reviews are subject to my freakish whim, and if you don't like it... Submit one yourself. I just might print it. I may wish to point out at this moment that I, Dr. Neon, am a mad scientist and as such, am a significantly more intelligent and enlightened being. Therefore, in your humble eyes, my opinions and reviews as such, should appear Godlike in nature. Thus negating your need to append or criticize my reviews. But, if you must, submit all entries to Arg0n0t@aol.com.
Attack
of the 50' Woman
And
you think you have problems! Poor Nancy Archer (Allison Hayes)
has a cheating husband, a drinking problem, and a history of
nervous berakdowns. On top of that add a visit from a space giant
that turns her into a
giant, and you have the formula for one hell of a PMS attack! For
most of the movie all you see is either a giant plaster of paris
hand or the extras screaming about what she's doing. When you do
get see what a fifty-foot woman looks like you realize how far
tailoring has progressed over the years as she stands tall in
size 90 underwear. And most women think a size 14 is big! For
such a "big" movie, towards the end realise how
"small" of an IQ you need to watch this.
Dr. Neon's Grade: C
Astro
Zombies
It was
dark night when I bought this sixties adaptation of Frankenstien.
The idea of the movie is similar to making astronauts into
zombies/cyborgs, mix into that a little espionage intrigue and
Tura Satana...And it still was horrible. My eyes still hurt from
watching this movie! The only bright spot in this whole film is
Tura Satana's campy portrayal of a "dragon lady" secret
agent(?). You would think that it would be at least somewhat
worthwhile with John Carridine as the mad scientist, but he never
leaves the lab! I do, however, reccommend finding this film as it
is slowly dissappearing from the market. That this is one of Tura
Satana's best roles is reason enough to buy it, just don't expect
anything more than classic Grade Z schlock!
DR. Neon's Grade: C+
Devil Girl From Mars
Her name
is Nyah and she is the
Devil Girl from Mars. She plans to take all of Earth's men!
Accompanied by her faithful companion, Frigidaire, um..I mean
Robot, she invades a small scottish pub where no one has an
accent. Now, while normally when a woman shows up in a shiny
black suit claiming to be from Mars, you either think: loony, or
start running, but nooo, not these people. The patrons of this
pub never once show much emotion other than what you might find
at a dinner theater or a tea party. While not the best film in
the world, Patricia Laffan (the Devil girl) played her role with
as much campy deadpan as possible considering that she shared the
film with a "cardboard" cast. This is definitely one of
those films where you wish the villian would win. Hmmm, I wonder
if it really would be all that bad to go to Mars with Nyah....
Dr. Neon's Grade: B
