The Room (2003) **

It's not nearly as bad as it should be (or as this flick suggested) thanks to good cinematography and second unit work. Wiseau is at least interesting as an actor. Probably has the least erotic sex scenes in movie history.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) *

Seems exploitive of a very young Diane Lane as well as heavy handed with the script. Adds up to a not pleasant experience. Rock Follies did it better.

Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971) **

Typically well produced/shot Hammer production with a lovely Valerie Leon as the well preserved mummy.

Darker Than Amber (1970) **

Flawed but entertaining mystery-thriller is gritty and quite brutal at times. Rod Taylor carries the pic well though.

Zabriskie Point (1970) ***

Maybe the most conventional of Antonioni's films, still has stunning visuals and goofy experimental passages that don't always work. Great casting choice of Daria Halprin and boffo ending.

Moonlighting Mistress (1970) **

Loved the look and creepy early 70's Munich vibe. The lovely Ms. Vendell helps keep this noir watchable.

The House That Screamed (1969) *

Beautifully produced effort wasted by inept direction/editing. Ms. Palmer does her best and nearly rescues the flick.

Obsessions (1969) *

Feels too long at 90 minutes despite the efforts of the lovely Alexandra Stewart. Nicely shot but repetitive and unengaging.

The Master Touch (1972) **

Silly but entertaining heist flick shot in 70's Hamburg by Italians and featuring Kirk and a pretty nifty car chase. Unfortunately the copyright expired on the film so nobody wants to clean up the print.
