Rating: Summary: Silly movie is worth a look. Review: Although no classic Dinosaur Valley Girls contains enough silliness to make it a watchable Saturday afternoon time waster. Writer/director Donald Glut makes darn certain that the viewer knows that this is a joke (he all but pummels us over the head with it) and that makes up for the really bad special effects (considering that this was made for a measly ...though I think that it is understandable). The cast is obviously having fun goofing off in front of the camera and it's contagious. The music video intermission (a song called Jurassic Punk, hehehehe) alone is worth the price of admission.
Rating: Summary: Nostaligic, loving, low-budget filmmaking Review: Director Glut is obviously a fan of movies like ONE MILLION YEARS, BC and other pre-CGI dinosaur flicks. He has made a fun, knowing tribute the genre which includes some nifty stop-motion animation effects, nice prehistoric locations, veteran genre actors interspersed with attractive newcomers, and a catchy music score. Not an award winner. It's much more entertaining than that! Plus the outtakes are enjoyable.
Rating: Summary: LOL Review: I sure hope it was meant to be a comedy because I laughed all the way through it. Nothing award winning but a lot of fun. Being projected back in time by the talsman? Why didn't anyone else get to go? Not quite figured that one out yet. Blackula star William Marshall is by far the best of the actors yet used the least. I would have liked to see him sent back to those cave women!! THAT would have been great. Otherwise, once I figured out all the character names were fast-food products, it was very enjoyable. Down right appetizing! Check it out for yourself....
Rating: Summary: Seen Worse Review: I've waited a long time to get my hands on this title. All I have to say is sometimes good things don't come to those who wait.Dinosaur Valley Girls' plot is WEAK! I've seen 'adult films' with better plots. The acting is fifth rate at best. The only decent thing in the film are the dinosaurs. Yeah, I know, stop motion can't stand up to the CGI in most films today (Walking With Dinosaurs, anyone?), but on a tight budget (which I assume was the case) it wasn't too bad. Species like camptosaurus and saltasaurus can ONLY be seen in this film. The girls are beautiful (although one dimensional and silly) and are the only reason (besides the dinos of course) I'll keep this film. The video transfer is no better then a 5 year old VHS tape and the sound is mono (if not it's the worst 2 channel I've ever heard). The film makes up a tad in the extras department, though. There is a 'Making of' and 'Deleted Scenes' section. These are the only things that save it from a single star review. Rent it if you must.
Rating: Summary: Not JP Review: OK folks, so it's not Jurassic Park. No one expected it to be. It's a fun movie with a lot of goofy characters who somehow end up together. Jeff Rector should have been the ultimate dork of a person transformed back in time to become "super-stud". It was just fun watching it. You sometimes wondered "why" but it was one of those "I don't have anything else to do so why not" movies. It really grows on you. I've got to commend Don Glut for his stop motion animation of the dinosaurs. That's not an easy task. Wow, that lizard 'really' looked real didn't it? Lighten up and just enjoy the movie next time with some friends and liquor. Amazing how that can improve the enjoyment!
Rating: Summary: Little stop-motion puppets intercut with busty girls... Review: Ooookay. Where to start on this one.............. A supposed hollywood actor is magically transported to a lost world of stop-motion dinosaurs and brainless, busty cavewomen. Admittedly, probably the only place you'll get an array of scientifically correct dinosaurs other than Jurassic Park, but nothing to offer beyond that. The girls, despite being 'well endowed', are rather boring. Give 'Dinosaur Island' a look.
Rating: Summary: Karen Black making a "Comeback" movie? Review: The only qualities featured in the movie are the bodacious women. That is it. If you are a guy that likes viewing lustful babes on the screen, this movie has that, but you still are better off watching Kitten Natividad in her heyday. Karen Black must have been behind on a mortgage payment to lower herself to such depths to even think of making an appearance in the film.
Rating: Summary: Silly and funny Review: The thing that stands out for me most in this flick is "Just a little part", which all the gals in the movie keep begging Tony Markham for. Also, William Marshall gives a very good but brief performance as the paleontologist. I like the music score, especially "Jurassic Punk". I bought the Family Version, so I don't know if there are any truly violent scenes in the movie which may have been excised. Dickens' animated and animatronic animals are realistic in design if not movement. In all honesty, I wish I knew what Don Glut and Kevin Glover had been trying to say with this movie. Is it a satire of Hollywood mores? It would be neat to see the proposed sequel.
