The Best GGW Video Yet

The Best

Attack of the hard boiled egg-eyed aliensAs for the plot, it all starts on a bright and shiny day when all kinds of folks have come together to watch the detonation of an atomic bomb - don't worry, they are all wearing goggles, so I'm sure they are in no danger whatsoever; as we all learned on Mystery Science Theater 3000, radiation can only hurt you if you touch it. Anyway, Dr. Douglas Martin (Peter Graves) is flying around above the explosion taking readings when his pilot spots a glowing object below and commences to take the plan into a vertical dive toward the earth. There is no sign of Martin's body in the wreckage, but no one could have survived the crash. Then, shortly thereafter, who should come wandering up to the gate of the local military base but Dr. Martin himself. He comes home with no memory of what happened, but he does have a shiny new surgical scar covering the left upper side of his chest. He soon begins acting strangely, and ultimately he gets nabbed hiding some secret information about the next atomic test under a rock in the desert. In with the truth serum, and out comes a story of aliens with hard-boiled eggs for eyes breeding a zoo of genetically mutated super-sized critters. He insists that the future of the planet is in grave peril, but no one believes him. Thus, as is always the case, it's up to Peter Graves to save the world single-handedly (and, as luck would have it, the aliens were stupid enough to pretty much tell him how to destroy them).
Some individuals have posited that this film helped create a template for future alien abduction accounts. This idea is pure rubbish, in my opinion. Sure, the aliens have huge eyes that seem to haunt Martin, but no E.T. ever looked as stupid as these guys; Martin also wakes up on a table surrounded by aliens performing some kind of medical procedure on him, but the scenes in this movie are by and large pretty laughable. Besides the aliens, the other thing this movie is known for is its whole giant insect montage. When Martin tries to escape from the aliens, he winds up running around in their menagerie - in other words, he runs back and forth between some projection screens showing extreme close-ups of spiders, lizards, and other creepy-crawlies. This scene would have been fairly effective had the director shown any restraint, but these shots just continue for far too long. If you've seen Peter Graves in The Beginning of the End, you will feel quite at home here. In the final analysis, Killers From Space is obviously not a great movie, but I personally don't think it is quite bad enough to be considered a full-fledged "bad movie."
big bug want-to-beDr Douglas Marvin (Peter Graves) while at an atomic test sees something suspicious on the ground. When the pilot takes his plane closer the controls jam. The plane crashed and the pilot is burnt to a crisp. Dr. Marvin mysteriously shows up later with a scar on his chest and no memory. Where could he have been? And is it important? Only time will tell. If we have time left with Killers form space.
Classic B-Movie!!!

Don't Bother
A Steve Earle FanThis DVD is a poor example of Steve Earle, his talent and his music. Not only is the four man band not representative of the music on the "Tanscendental Blues" audio disk but it is not representative of the man and his music. At the very least there should have been someone working a sound board to balance the music with the vocals. Earle's music is powerful but if you can't here the lyrics it is a waste of your money and mine. You can't here his wonderful lyrics on many of the cuts on this DVD.
One example: The song "Copperhead Road" on the audio disk --live at the Bluebird Cafe-- with acustic guitars is superior to the version done with the combo on this DVD. I was really looking forward to hearing this song done electrified with his combo. I'm Disappointed. Hope future live DVD will be professionally recorded.
A Real Lullaby

Boring
Really boring!
I have see better on this series.

An Average Wrestling DVD!The broadcasters are just annoying. You get a play-by-play man who makes Eric Bischoff's old commentating days seem like John Madden brodcasts and a terrible color man doing an awful Cheech Marin impression. This is the worst commentary I have ever heard. The attempts at humor are just so terrible. Any fan of wrestling could probably do a much better job here.
The only real rewarding moment is a grudge match between New Jack and Vic Grimes in a scaffold match. The advertised Buck Naked Match is a letdown though you do get a video afterward where both women appear nude.
This DVD is pretty bad. The matches are okay but I cannot warn you enough how amateur the quality is and how completely annoying the commentators are. You will honestly probably get a headache listening to them.
Xtreme Professional Wrestling... Things that could be!Let's get one thing straight first, this is not the full show. It's a compilation of matches from the show. I have one by complaint, they show The World Title match (2nd match of the DVD) in full - a very poor match - but they don't show the best match and 1st of the show in full and that being Kaos' TV title gauntlet. I think Nosawa was supposed to be in the match but he wasn't shown. Infact, GQ Money vs. Kaos was clipped largely and some of the Hamrick match was, as well.
The Sandman vs. Supreme - WHAT A LETDOWN! Sandman refused to use any weapons (Ok... What else can he do?!).
The Buck Naked match was pretty decent but was a HUGE letdown... For the live audience. In this DVD they have a 20 second music video of Veronica Caine and Lizzy Borden completely nude. I promise you, eventhough XPWrestling.com said that they did show nudity before the lights went out, that was false. You couldn't see anything.
The Scaffold match was pretty good but nothing spectacular and actually pretty boring until the fall.
If you are an XPW fan buy it. If you are a hardcore ECW fan, I would save up your money and buy the new and full shows (ie Hostile Takeover, Exit Sandman, Merry F'N X'Mas, etc.) on their official website.
As for the extras, you get a Sandman promo, Supreme Promo and Psicosis vs. Evan Karagious - Good match! The last extra being Scott Snot vs. Vinnie Masaro - Not so good.
XPW Freefall(XPW World Title Match) this is really dumb, they cut the match right in the middle of it and you wonder who in the hell won. If you are going to put a match on a tape please put the hole match. The third match is Supreme vs. The Sandman (XPW King of the Deathmatch) now this is an XPW match. This match is F'n great there a weapons, barbed wire, thumbtacks, any thing that you can think of is in this match. One of the best matches on this hole tape. The fourth match is Veronica Caine vs. Lizzy Borden (Buck Naked Match). This is the most dumbes match I have ever seen in my years of watching wrestling. The light go out right when one of the ladys are all most naked it sucks. The this is one of the best moment on the video it is a 20 second scene that has these two hot girls NAKED yes NAKED it rulz they are very hot I'll tell you that much. The last match New Jack vs. Vic Grimes (40-Foot Scaffold Match) this is the best match on the tape it is so cool when the loser goes flying off the scaffold(I won't tell you who wins). That is it 5 match that are all pretty good, But like I said before 1 hour is never enough. For a new wrestling federation that is out there it is not that bad. Maybe in about 2-3 years they might be that new ECW but not right now.


terrible
Cute story, but easily forgettableDavid Charvet and Tia Carrere play feuding neighbors who hate each other in public, but they are unwittingly in love when they start chatting online. Soon after, they start being friendly to each other. This otherwise predictable romantic comedy takes a surprising twist and has a few comic bits--but still, the two main characters end up happily ever after... as the title would suggest.
Although not as good (or as witty) like "You've Got Mail", the actors deliver their lines with low-key zest, the result is a light, fluffy--but ultimately forgettable--romantic comedy that's most likely to appeal to lovers of chick flicks... while other demanding viewers will most likely be disappointed.
Rated R for language and brief nudity.
If not.. who is?This movie captured me from the first minute on Show Time. I have to confess that I am not a fan of Tia Carrere at all... as a matter of fact I wish her role was played by any other! But this is a personal taste, others seem to like her (especially on Relic Hunter) but I don't!
The story is a simple love story... and this what gave this movie a special taste! I mean we had it with the complicated dramas. And for me it was time for a change... for a light story. Whether you read this story in a book, newspaper or even if it happened with a friend of yours you'd still be able to enjoy it and smile! :)
David Charvet has great potentials for a successful future as an actor and a singer! Go ahead and watch this movie! It may not be for keep but at least rent it.


Unrealistic Hollywood-type hype
Great for planning or remembering
Worth buying if you are going to climb KilimanjaroI found the film to bring back a lot of memories and did a good job of capturing the sights of the mountain. If you are climbing Kilimanjaro, it's a no-brainer. Buy this movie.
The movie does not do a good job at showing the difficulty of the climb. But, that's not why you should be buying this movie. If my memory serves me, it was filmed over 6 weeks and with a support crew of 150 people. My 82 year old grandmother could climb Kilimanjaro at that pace.
The reason to watch this movie is to learn about the mountain and so see some of the stunning sights. Breashears does and excellent job capturing the mountain's beauty.


for B-Movie afficiados only
Adds a new dimension to the term VW Bug!
The Skipper vs. The Giant SpidersHere we have the story of a small Wisconsin town that experiences an unknown object plummeting to Earth, landing close to the farmhouse of the unsavory Dan and Ev Kester. Upon closer inspection of the impact site, the Kesters find droves of their livestock mutilated and worry about what did it, too, until they discover geodes filled with what look to be diamonds - and a more sinister eight-legged cargo that is initially overlooked. Enter the NASA scientists and their loosely scientific hypothesis that states that the crash site is actually a "black hole" emanating energy feeding some soon to be gigantic spiders and you have a truly fun-filled, barely budgeted monster movie!
Be forewarned that the plot is thin, the actors (with the exception of Alan Hale AKA "The Skipper") are subpar, and the effects are almost nonexistent. Knowing this ahead of time, however, leaves you room to enjoy this flashback to an enjoyable time in "horror" cinema. Buy it and experience VW love once again!
