Movie Reviews of Best of Burlesque
Movie Review: Absolutely Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the best look at burlesque I've had so far. It was great to go back in time and have a peek at how strippers use to do it and I loved it! There's such a variety of perfomers and surprisingly, my favorite was not one of the better known stars of burlesque. I found the quality and content of this DVD to be excellent. This one is a nice addition to any burlesque collection.Movie Review: American trash culture deluxe!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is another Something Weird disc set to get for the extras. The 2 theatrical features draaaag! But the trailers, strip tease shorts, and promotional art galleries are fun and fascinating!
Every woman here is pre-silicone and botox. Body types vary, but most of these dolls have the one thing modern cosmetic science can't offer: CHARACTER!
Movie Review: An apt title for retro-loving film buffs
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great collection of Burlesque shorts. The "features" are not entirely worth watching. Every element of the classic grindhouse atmosphere is recorded--the gritty backdrops, the corny comics, the jaded stripteasers, and even some hilarious musicians having trouble keeping their eyes on the instruments!
Even if you aren't planning on watching every short in this two-disc set, it is a great purchase anyways. I have even used this as a sort of conversation piece/ambiance in some interesting parties. The interview of Lili St. Cyr in the liner is also well worth reading.
Enjoy the lost art form of Burlesque!!!
Movie Review: Buy this just to see...
Summary: 3 Stars
... Dixie Evan's riotous "Casting Couch" , Patti Waggin'sathletic "Parisian Pickup", and the over-the-hill Jean Carter sing the blues classic "Hot Nuts" & then do a lumbering striptease. Some fun stuff here, but not all the vignettes are top-notch. You get some Tempest Storm & Lili St. Cyr, but would have loved to seen Jennie Lee's and Alouette LeBlanc's tassel-tossing. Most of the music has that blaring,wah-wah bump n' grind beat -- Something Weird should put out a CD of some of these tunes.
Movie Review: Sort of interesting...yet super boring!
Summary: 2 Stars
As a kid growing up in the 1950's I always wanted to see the movies we kids weren't old enough to see. (Anybody remember "Mom and Dad"?). After seeing this compilation, I have to say we didn't miss very much! Thanks to the weirdos at Something Weird Video for making these rarities available but overall these are some of the most boring films I've ever seen in my life. The two features are incredibly bad and the shorts are even worse! "A Virgin in Hollywood" (not even a hint of nudity!) and "Too Hot to Handle" (a filmed burlesque show which even includes those lame baggy pants comedians!) are the features and the numerous shorts with dancing babes in G strings and pasties will put you to sleep in a very short time. Several shorts and two inserts on "Virgin in Hollywood" are in poor anaglyphic (red/green glasses) 3-D. 40 minutes of burlesque trailers are the best thing on the disc. Thanks to Mike Vraney at Something Weird for pulling this stuff (some 7 hours on 2 discs!!!) out of the trash can just for it's historical value but if you are looking for cheap thrills or even laughs, forget this one. Billy Bob says don't check it out!
