Rating: Summary: Pornographic trash Review: Think this is a 'fun' sampler of B movies? Think again. Contains offensive pornography. Not terribly sexually explicit but full of violent and degrading situations. I feel guilty giving it 1 star, but that was the lowest rating available.
Rating: Summary: Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction Review: This is a collection of trailers from Something Weird, and they really are something weird. Of course all these movies are fiction, but it is hard to believe the truth that any of these were actually made. The subjects vary, but generally run in the Joe Bob Briggs genre. I thought these were mostly tremendously amusing, although I think a few of them are in inexcusably bad taste (and here I am thinking of the entire Herschell Gordon Lewis catalog), which is why I am only giving this four stars. Most of the trailers are independently hilarious, particularly the trailer for "Kiss Me Quick", which I haven't seen, but plan to, as it looks intoxicatingly bad. Also noteworthy are the trailers for the Chesty Morgan movies, which must be seen to be believed. You may also spot some movies that became MST3K episodes ("Horrors of Spider Island", anyone?) Overall this is a good package which lost its star for excess tasteless slasher movie trailers. I realize that those are grade-Z movies, but they seem a bit over represented here. This DVD will appeal to anyone who likes to laugh at preposterously poorly made movies, and the price can't be beat.
Rating: Summary: Hours of fun! Review: This is one of the best (and cheapest) compilations out there. If you like trashy movies from the 50s, 60s, 70s, etc, then you should get this. There's 90something trailers and film clips from the Something Weird vaults on this DVD and it's just fun to watch over and over again. My favorites are ANOTHER MAN ANOTHER DAY, DEADLY WEAPONS, HG Lewis' movies and the STING OF DEATH clip.
