Girls Gone Wild: On Campus
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (03 September, 2002)
MPAA Rating:
Average review score:

Disappointed
The adds for this title are misleading. There are extremely few good moments in this dvd, and those are not that good. If it was $$$, I'd say you got what you paid for. And I've noticed they reuse footage in other titles in this series. I was very disappointed.

2.5 stars, or 5 out of 10...
I don't know how the other girls gone wild movies are, but this Girls Gone Wild ON CAMPUS isn't all that good. It has a FEW good shots of girls showing up or taking off their skirts and showing good shots. But mostly this is basicly different girls flashing the camara for like 5 seconds. I'd say this is just for something to watch at a bachelor/frat type of party where its just you and your boys watching while rating girls. I'd say RENT THIS if you can.

The Best GGW Video Yet
I own most of the GGW videos, and I have to say that this is hands-down their best work. There is everything you'd expect - cute (mostly) college-aged girls taking it off for beads or a GGW tank-top, but the guys behind the camera are more experienced in cutting the "deals" than ever before. They often get the girls to show for longer, and do it over and over, claiming everything from, they weren't ready, or their hands were in the way, etc. Plenty of stuff inside clubs, in the bathrooms of clubs, and out on the street. Just enough talking to the girls before and after they flash, fleshing them out as "real girls." (All the really showy ones had southern accents, which is interesting!) But the best part about this video is just how often they get girls to "show it all." There are several segments where the camera lens ventures up a dress or a skirt, or just plain gets girls to drop it all in front of groups of guys! I get the feeling that the GGW crew takes their best stuff and puts it together and makes the rest of the videos with the remaining footage. However, don't be fooled by the title. Most of the footage was shot on what seemed like Spring Breaks throughout Florida, not on college campuses. There is one scene near the end of the video, previewed on the box art and on the commerical, that features the Hottie of all hotties on a swing. It is not to be missed! Get this title now!


Mischief
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (30 April, 2002)
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Average review score:

Save your money
They got it right on the cover. It says "This video blows" i guess I should've heeded the warning. I would've been better entertained by dropping my money in a paper shredder.

Guilty Pleasures
Don't listen to the complaint about less than average film quality. While I can't object to this, to get movie quality shots, you would need movie quality equipment. This would have to be set up, adjusted, and prepared; things that would be nearly impossible to do to catch shots of street racing. This a sport that is a fast-paced and on the moment, and leaves as quickly as it comes. The only thing that can realistically capture this kind of footage is a handheld camcorder. While you may complain about the quality of the picture, this is the best it could get for this particular type of film. If you were to ask me, I would tell you that this is extremely entertaining. It's rough and gritty appearance only adds to its underground appeal. To the those that would judge this harshly, consider this one of those guilty pleasures that you watch but don't tell your friends about. To everyone else, this a great film to watch and great fun as well.

The Best
Mischief is the first of 3 volumes. Its packed with tons of action including burnouts, donuts, bikes, and hot imports. If your into street racing than this is the video, you might also want to check out the other videos from mischif coming soon. Its the best 60 min. video ever. This is the real fast and fuious.


Killers from Space
Released in DVD by Gotham Distribution (22 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: W. Lee Wilder
Average review score:

Attack of the hard boiled egg-eyed aliens
According to some, Killers From Space is a great example of a bad movie so bad that it is good; some would even grant it B movie cult status. I take more of a middle ground because, to me, the movie isn't really that bad. Sure, it has some silly aspects to it, but it's a lot more enjoyable than many a 1950s science fiction thriller you can find out there in the wild. Admittedly, the prominence of Peter Graves also helps because I can't help but think of him as a legitimate actor despite a good bit of evidence to the contrary.

As 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-be
No big bug collection is complete without "Killers From Space." It might not have the statue of "Them!"." But the formula is there. It starts off with the narration to describe what you see. Then goes quickly into the mystery. The only thing missing is a flame thrower.
Dr 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!!!
Killers From Space is everything you want in a B-movie about Aliens taking over the world. Peter Graves plays Dr. Douglas Martin, a nuclear scientist who is surveying a piece of land where an A-Bomb is tested. This begins a strange journey that leads him to believe that aliens are using our atomic energy to support themselves so they can unleash a deadly herd of giant insects that will devour all humans on the earth. It is one of my all time favorite B-Movies. A must see!!!


Steve Earle & the Dukes - Transcendental Blues Live
Released in DVD by Red Distribution, In (24 September, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Steve Earle
Average review score:

Don't Bother
Staring Steve's bald spot and comb-over (the camera angles are very unflattering) Steve and company run through mundane versions of a mundane selection of songs. I've seen Steve play great high energy shows and seen shows where he's phoning it in; this is one of the latter. If you have all Steve's records and still feel like you need more Steve, buy the book ("Life and Near Death"), an intertaining little book as far as rock bio's go.

A Steve Earle Fan
I am a Steve Earle fan.
This 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
Obviously I am a big Steve Earls fan or I would not have bought this DVD that is great in quality and nice 5.1, but I think Mr. Earle and all of the UNusually sedated Canadian crowd was all on morphine. I mean I expected just a little more energy from what I have heard on The Mountain CD or anything pre-Transcendental. I almost cried that I had lost [money] on this DVD! I have some other concert footage from Earle, like his prision concert or the Del McCoury concert on 54th Sessions, this is all great stuff that I can not get enough of,,, this is the footage that should be put out! Earle even speaks out on this DVD how he is tried of doing concerts and recordings and wants to focus on doing a play, and it shows real bad on this very lame concert. Sorry Steve and I hope you come back to us loyal but not stupid fans, keep this one in the closet. Might I recommend John Fogerty's Premonition, or Bee Gee's One Night Only, An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson, George Jones Live In Knoxville TN. or Brian Setzer Live in Japan, this is energy with great quality all the way. Don't hate me Steve Earle fans, I am one of the biggest, but this is bad.


Girls Gone Wild: Craziest Frat Parties
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (03 September, 2002)
MPAA Rating:
Average review score:

Boring
Not worth the money. The ads on TV and on the web are compelling, but ultimately deceptive. These DVDs each contain a few events that drag on for ever. Unlike the ads which suggest that you'll see a great variety of events and people, the actual DVDs contain the same few girls repeatedly doing the same thing. Very disappointing.

Really boring!
This dvd does not contain enough nudity as it should. The pace of the video is really slow, which makes it boring. Is not worth the time or money.

I have see better on this series.
Girls Gone Wild on Campus was very good so since seeing this title I was not happy. So keep in mind that others maybe real good. I am very pleased with the first one I bought.


XPW: Freefall
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (10 September, 2002)
MPAA Rating:
Average review score:

An Average Wrestling DVD!
While slightly better than the last XPW release I picked up (the God-awful Hardcore Conception), this one really isn't much better. There are much better matches but the quality of the presentation is still terrible.

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!
I have 2 other terrible XPW DVDs, "Baptised In Blood" and "Damage Inc." now those DVDs have no promise or anything good. This DVD I could compare to one of ECW's worst shows. But that is a [heck] of a step up from being pure garbage. Now I am sure they are even better with The Franchise running the show.

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
This is a really good wrestling event, but it is only 1 hour? Why in the blue hell would they put a really 3 hour event it to 1 hour it is dumb. But anyway the event it self is pretty good. The fist match is Rock Superstar" Kaos vs. Angel and Chris Hamrick(XPW TV-Title Gauntlet Match). It is not a bad match pretty good opening match. The second match Webb vs. GQ Money
(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.


Meet Prince Charming
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (12 May, 2000)
MPAA Rating: R (Restricted)
Director: Brett Parker (II)
Average review score:

terrible
This has got to be one of the worse ever made. David Charvaet's squeeky voice and lack , actually total lack of acting ability make this a waste of time.

Cute story, but easily forgettable
"Meet Prince Charming" has some some serious echoes of 1998's "You've Got Mail", but on it's own is a light, funny, sweet (but sometimes downright) and stupid romp.

David 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?
If David Charvet is not prince charming... then 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.


Kilimanjaro: To the Roof of Africa
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (08 October, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Director: David Breashears
Average review score:

Unrealistic Hollywood-type hype
This DVD makes climbing Kili look like a hike in the park, and those who think it is, should try summitting via Arrow Glacier. It does have beautiful scenic shots, though.

Great for planning or remembering
Having seen this film after climbing Kili I found it brought back great memories and I would recommend it for those having climbed and planning to climb. Potential climbers should not expect trekking tips but will get a sense of the mountain. I think that the more critical reviews of this film are unfair. The implication that anyone could summit given 6 weeks and a staff of 150 is true, but planned properly most normal people can as well. It should also be noted that film maker -David Breashears- has reached the summit of Everest at least 4 times so how 'clean' the climbers look needs to be kept in context. Kili is not a technical climb, in fact it's a relatively simple hike, whose challenge stems from each individuals reaction to the altitude. That accessibility makes Kili everyman's mountain. From age 12 to 72, if you have the bug to summit and impressive peak, are reasonably fit, and brave enough travel to the other side of the world, then Kili is the perfect adventure for you and this film should only serve to whet your appetite.

Worth buying if you are going to climb Kilimanjaro
I climbed Kilimanjaro in November 2002 via the Machame route, which this film depicts. (One of the other reviewers referes to the Machame route as the "Coca-Cola" route, that is the Marangu route. I think it was a oversight.)

I 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.


Giant Spider Invasion
Released in DVD by Ventura Distribution (23 April, 2002)
MPAA Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested)
Director: Bill Rebane
Average review score:

for B-Movie afficiados only
I saw GIANT SPIDER INVASION double billed with AT THE EARTH'S CORE when it was first released at a drive-in in 1975; I was 6 years old. I finally had the opportunity to see this again almost 3 decades later. Basically this film is a total failure, but don't let that deter you if you have a taste for 70's B-Movie fare. Highlights are Alan Hale("Hi little buddy!!")and in one seen where you can actually see the microphone moving from side to side at the bottom of the screen. Stupid, grimy; for the curious only.

Adds a new dimension to the term VW Bug!
One of the giant spiders in this ridiculous movie is built around a VW bug! Actually it doesn't look that much more ridiculous than any of the other creepy crawlies here. Bad movie fans will enjoy this and the disc looks pretty good. Director interview too.

The Skipper vs. The Giant Spiders
Back from the shadows of cheaply made monster movies incorporating a few scares (actually, this had one scare - and I was intoxicated so I'm not certain it was truly meritable of the term "frightening") and a lot of laughs (As the back of the movie's case implies, the "Spider effects" is actually a VW disguised as a Giant Spider from Outer Space, plus there are some laughable yokel mating rituals.) comes The Giant Spider Invasion. It basically adheres to the old monster movie principles, the cheaper the monster and the thinner the reasoning, the better.

Here 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!
