A lonely aristocrat Miss Gray has a twin sister who's in an asylum. They share a strange bond. Miss Gray is rational but frigid while her sister is insane yet feels sexual pleasure for both of them. A female reporter arrives at the mansion.

Lina Romay is naked throughout the film and seemingly perfectly happy to not only reveal all but to get down and very dirty in a surprisingly explicit Franco outing. Nudity is hardly unknown in the 'dirty old man's' films but were this not so different in feel to accepted hardcore, that is the label one might find appropriate. Elegantly shot in widescreen this is a colourful, erotic tale with surprising moments hinting at vampirism and despite the appalling dubbed dialogue very watch able and amazingly possibly one of Romay's best.

In his off hours, a creepy security guard masquerades as a police officer, hassles prostitutes who think he's a real cop and lets them go in return for free sex. One day he happens to witness a woman murder her husband, and he decides that she should be punished for her crime, but in his own way.

"A Climax of Blue Power" is hostile and gritty, and without a trace of political correctness. It also plays like a real movie, with a plot, characters and believable acting. There's even a car chase. Carns is effective in his role, his physical attractiveness (he sort of looks like a young Kurt Russell) never overshadowing his creepiness. Carnon, who's made numerous softcore movies ("Drop-Out Wife," "Booby Trap"), is another standout. (Incidentally, Carnon's scenes in this movie all appear to be softcore; an obvious stand-in was used for the hardcore close-ups). Also appearing are Frost's frequent producing partner Wes Bishop, as a detective, and Uschi Digard in a non-sexual and, surprisingly, fully-clothed cameo.

Director Frost made some of the most stylish roughies of the 1960s ("The Pick-Up," "The Defilers," "Hot Spur"). "A Climax of Blue Power" essentially uses Frost's roughie template and repackages it in a hard-X format. Though the movie has a few shaky production and story issues at its beginning (like why does a hooker keep flagging down johns in front of a police car and an unconvincing day-for-night scene), this is a must for fans of Frost's work, as well as aficionados of rough sex.

A story of a tribe of Amazons in the age of swords and chariots. The film opens with the tribe holding physical contests to select a new queen. Since there are no men in the tribe, they hire men from another nation once a year. After the queen is crowned, the Amazons go to meet a group of Greek soldiers for their annual mating. The king of the Greeks pretends to be a captain and has sex with the queen. Much to the queen's dismay, she quite enjoys having sex with a man. The king recommends to the queen a certain way back home, not knowing there is another tribe of male warriors waiting in ambush. On the way back to their homes, the Amazons are attacked, and they drive off the men. Once home, they decide to pillage the villages of the tribe that ambushed them. The queen bears a male child, who she thinks is left out to die, as male children are not wanted by the Amazons. The queen arranges for another meeting with the Greeks to mate again and also kill them in revenge for their ...

The movie follows an MNU employee tasked with leading the relocation and his relationship with one of the alien leaders.When i first saw the comercals for district 9 i thought it looked like just another stupid movie that people would only think was good because of the action. In other words I thoght the plot would suck, but boy was I wrong the whole thing looked like a real documentary and it managed to involve aliens and not be completly cheesey and that can be a tough thing to do. And there was still great action they had the perfect amount of it. And just to think the only reason I saw it was because my friends were talking about it non stop well I thank them because District 9 has a shot at movie of the year it is already no dought the best Sci-Fi movie ever even above star wars. And this is last thing im going to say because if I say anymore I might give something away, Disrict 9 is so much diffrent they you would think from the comercals not that they were bad. In conclusion Movie Mike gives District 9 a 3.5.

"REC" turns on a young TV reporter and her cameraman who cover the night shift at the local fire station. Receiving a call from an old lady trapped in her house, they reach her building to hear horrifying screams -- which begin a long nightmare and a uniquely dramatic TV report.
What it lacks in character development, it more than makes up for in fast paced thrills, shocks and genuine tension. The setting and shaky cam create a claustrophobic atmosphere, held together well by naturalistic performances from the cast.

At the dawn of the new millennium, Japan is in a state of collapse. Unemployment is endemic and school violence is out of control. The beleaguered government retaliates with Battle Royale... Each year, a randomly chosen class is pitted against itself on an abandoned island in a cruel game of survival. The rules of the game are simple: 1) it lasts three days; 2) Each player starts with food, water and a "weapon"; 3) if more than one player survives, everyone dies (by detonating special electronic necklaces; 4) there is no escape. As the game progresses, terror and panic challenge the students' fragile trust in each other. But despite the game's brutality, the adolescent players remain obsessed with their crushes, their petty grudges - and their dreams...

Here we go again, with the same old Hollywood schlock. And again, I watched the video with the 3 reviewers and they all liked it. Well I'm not surprised, but I definitely don't agree with them, but then again I never really agree with movie critics anyway. Because to me they always miss the point. They fill you up with all of this information which has no bearing whatsoever on if I will like it or not. I just want to be entertained. That is where you look for movies right? in the entertainment section. So I'd like to know what was it about this film that they found so entertaining? Because I thought it was boring. Don't get me wrong, it had it's moments. But that's the same for a lot of these haunted house movies, they have their moments, but that's it. I can't remember the last haunted house movie that I found really entertaining. But anyway, I will recommend The Conjuring, but only to those who like these kind of movies and are satisfied with the same old shit. Because that's exactly what you will get. But oh yah, it does have it's moments.

It's pretty apparent by the end of the film that there were parts of this movie that never actually happened. It's typical Hollywood with trying to make things look scarier or cooler while totally ruining the actual events that occurred. Supposedly all of this is taped yet not once in the film did they show any real video of the incident or did you hear any of the actual audio that was from the event. The story was good but Hollywood trying to make the story look better than it actually was hurts the story more than it helps. 5.5/10
