Summary: From a fan not a fanatic
Review: This is a movie you really need to have a sense of humour to appreciate. This film pays hommage to everything "B" grade. For fans of black and white horror movies, this movie is paradise. It includes everything B grade, with A grade talent. It's not to be taken seriously, and yes there are a couple of editorial errors for the trainspotters, but it's all good fun. You must remember it was written in the early 70's and is a film that explores sexuality in a very conservative society. For those who are offended or just don't get it, lighten up, don't be so boring and have fun.

Summary: The Best Rock 'n Roll musical ever!!
Review: As you hear in the special feature section, this is Richard O'Brien's first musical started off in a small threater. The original casts were used for the movie including Tim Curry, Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn. Nobody in the original cast thought it would become such a subculture. Even today, 'Time Warp' does not have that 'old fashion' feeling. Some people might find music very hard to appreciate for the first time, but as you get to know it you just cannot stop listening and singing along to it. The first time you watch it, you might want to turn it off but keep watching it has something more than homesexuality. You WILL treasure it for the rest of your life!!!

Summary: Let's do the time warp again...and again...and again...
Review: Before I ever saw RHPS I heard the song Time Warp.I loved the song so much that,a few years later,I finally rented the movie.The first time I saw it,I laughed for SO long!The songs are extremely catchy.The first time I saw Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-n-furter,I couldn't BELIEVE it!And,when the cast sang Time Warp,that was REALLY funny.It's been nearly a week since I watched it,and the song "Sweet Transvestite" is STILL stuck in my head.Let me just say that this movie is not for everyone.For those of you who like movies that are hilarious,this one's for you.This is now my favorite movie.So,come up to the lab,and see what's on the slab.

Summary: THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
Review: THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW has to be one of my all-time favorite movie musicals --- as a matter of fact, it's my only favorite movie musical. The story follows Brad and Janet, a newlywed couple who's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, so they walk to a castle up the road to ask for help. When they knock on the door, they meet the butler Riff Raff, and when they are invited inside they meet the mad transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter and the rest of the gang from the planet of Transexual that happens to be located in the galaxy of Transylvania. The film is a wild and wacky combination of rock n' roll movies, science-fiction movies, horror movies, sex movies, and comedy movies! Some personal favorite songs of mine from the movie are "Science Fiction - Double Feature," "Dammit Janet," "Time Warp," "Sweet Transvestite," and many, many more!

Summary: Forget the Cult; Check Out the Film
Review: RHPS has been branded by its own "cult" status. This clever spoof of Frankenstein, teen-flicks and Hammer Films in general has more than enough merits to stand on its own. The score is infectious and amusing; the cast hand-picked; the art direction as inspiringly insane as Jack Otterson's famous "psychological sets" for SON OF FRANKENSTEIN; and the jokes work even after numerous repetitions (my favorite humorous touch isn't even spoken in the film; It's that old reliable cliche, "The butler did it!") In short, this movie is a lot of fun, but seeing at a midnight showing with a lot of screaming wannabe's isn' much fun. For one thing, these yahoos always drown out the soundtrack of of the film they profess to love so very much! This movie is the perfect double-feature mate for PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE. Fans of good rock music, monster movies and comedy won't be disappointed by this flick.

Summary: "Give yourself over to absolute pleasure"
Review: As the title (of my review) suggests, this film is "absolute pleasure" Starting with nothing but lips, then moving to a wedding, some crazy songs and dances...and a PRE Bat Out of ... Meat Loaf makes a brief appearance. If you haven't seen this movie then you haven't experienced nothing yet! Of course this film has been giving pleasure for 25 years! In some parts of the world (even in the states) it is still in the theaters...that means it probably holds record for time on screen...so buy it...or Magenta will use the Medusa on you.

Summary: Are you Trembling with Antici.......................pation ?
Review: Homophobic men should leave this one alone, but anyone with an Open Mind and a Sense of Humor will appreciate the wild & crazy antics of these Invaders from Transexual Transylvania.... In fact, this movie is a cult-classic. See why this low-budget movie has caused flocks of followers and fans to visit unique theaters weekend-after-weekend for decades, not-only to watch this movie...but, to Participate in the film (or, rather, in-front-of the film). I am from a small town where a movie like this would never be shown, but I heard rumors about it, long before I ever saw the movie.... So, I went on a quest to find a copy to rent. Where I live, I could not ever find this Classic. Then, one day I latched onto a copy and I have been a fan, ever-since! That was nearly ten years-ago. I even tried recording it from a VH1 airing (but, it was Edited :( Now, everyone can own a copy...a brand-new copy that has not been played so many times the scenes are fuzzy! (People become Addicted to the Fun-Filled, Frolicking Adventures of these Androgynous Icons). Anyway...this movie stars TIM CURRY. Need I say more? This guy is Great, in everything that he does (Watch "CLUE": 6300214699 & "LEGEND": 1558807381 !!!). Tim Curry is one of those rare Actors that steals the scenes in every movie he has ever been involved with. Check-out this one, as-well: 6305428077 My girlfriend played "Columbia" in the Vogue theater, in Louisville, KY for a while...and a friend of mine once played the "Eddie" (Meatloaf) character--riding his motorcycle down the center aisle during each show...so, I know what I'm talkin' about. This is a movie you will invite your friends over to watch! Again...and again...and again....and (you get the idea). Get your Roll of T.P., Newspaper, Umbrella, Water Pistol, etc. ready and join the adventure! (But, try to keep your friends from riding their motorcycle through your family room).

Summary: Never thought it could get better but the DVD enhances!!
Review: A true cult classic, bringing this movie to DVD was long overdue, but well worth the wait. Some of the best features I've seen yet in terms of DVD menus, and a whole second disk with outtakes and the like make this a must have for any true RHPS collector. Plus, there's nothing like having someone to yell along with you at home, when no one else knows the lines!

Summary: You may stop shivering with antici-
Review: Great 2-DVD set, plenty of special effects (add audience, prompts, participation) and extras. Menus are cute, even if the animations get old after awhile. The best "Midnight movie" ever, X'ers everywhere will want to get this to relive those glory days (nights?) of high school and college. Get a bottle of Boone's farm, turn out the lights, and be seventeen again.
