Movie Reviews of Box Office Gold 50 Movie Pack
Movie Review: MILL CREEK'S HOMAGE TO THE MARVELOUS MAVERICK MOVIE MAKERS OF THE MCMLXX'S AND MCMLXXX'S
Summary: 5 Stars
Theatrical and TV movies lifted from VHS cassettes: 26 from 1970s, 21 from 80s, 1 from 60s, 2 from 50s. Each disk is in a protective envelope bearing titles, leading actors, time, rating, and 5-6-line synopsis, all thanks to Mill Creek's research staff. The cassettes were acquired by Mill Creek scouts at Beverly Hills garage sales since 2001. Here's the first 7 pics Your Reviewer watched. (If you have children under 30 in the home, note RED FLAGS!)
(1) "Drivers Seat." A poor man's Antonioni torta with Liz Taylor wearing an incredibly clashing blouse, skirt, and coat thruout. In some Italian city, she encounters men with one thing on their mind. But the mystification is, What's on her mind? The pic escalates to la forza del destino in an ominous nighttime park. RED FLAG! see-thru bra, attempted rape in taxi by handsome lothario in zippered jumpsuit, Andy Warhol, Nora Washbourne.
(2) "A Hazard of Hearts." A pulpy costume drama by Barbara Cartland. Christopher Plummer loses everything at the dice table, including selling daughter Helena Bonham Carter for matrimony. Diana Riggs is the villainess, James Fox the villain. He is photographed unkindly and looks 4 feet tall. Old white-haired Stewart Granger has a cameo and is surprisingly sweet. RED FLAG! attempted rape in enclosed carriage at full gallop, sword cane, obvious dentures.
(3) "Steagle." A coined name combining Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles--football being an enthusiasm of Professor Richard Benjamin. The sudden super threat of the Cuban missile crisis crazies him up and he flys off to some major U.S. cities, fantasizing himself into various roles. His adventure in LA ends on a movie set with attacking hordes of every enemy in the book. Benjamin's acting thruout is comic-superb. RED FLAG! semi-mutual sex in front seat of car, close dancing, sex with WWII victory girl, bermuda shorts with kneesocks, Chill Wills.
(4) "Act of Love." After Mickey Rourke breaks his neck, brother Ron Howard is faced with the dilemma of euthanasia. Actor Ron is riveting on the witness stand. Actor Mickey, with a very youthful face and voice, reaches to his very depths with just a few lines in the ICU. RED FLAG! sawed-off shotgun, hard-hearted prosecutor, sleep-deprivation defense.
(5) "Christabel." English girl Elizabth Hurley marries German lawyer Stephen Dillane, and they are swept up in Hitler's rise and WWII. He is imprisoned as a suspect in the bomb plot to kill Hitler. She goes to the prison camp and tries to brazen her way to achieve his release. RED FLAG! three hangings by piano wire on meat hooks, two obnoxious Nazi little girls, print dresses with puffed sleeves.
(6) "Twisted Obsession." A.K.A. "Mad Monkey." Jeff Goldblum, a screen writer in Paris, is brought into a movie project instigated by a young Englishman who has like one bean to put into the pot, but his cool little sister is quite a tool. (Yes, raw sex will steam up your home screen.) Jeff has lots of female problems, including Miranda Richardson on wheels. A nasty picture! RED FLAG! shaved whatchamacallit, oral youknowwhat, peeping-tommy little boy, formaldehyde vat.
(7) "Twisted Nerve." This is the reason Your Reviewer had to have this box. The pic is co-scripted by Leo Marks of "Peeping Tom" notoriety. Pic opens with a disclaimer negating any link between Down syndrome and criminality. Hywel Bennett is shown playing ball with his Down brother, but Hywel's brain is twisted by a different chromosomal flaw. He can be childish or murderish. Hayley Mills and her mother Billie Whitelaw attempt to handle him. As kind as Hayley is, she's not up for rape by a genetic curiosity. Lots of sexy verbal zingers, but only one scissors stabbing and one hatcheted hairdo. RED FLAG! Hywel's beefy rump, attempted rape at swimming hole, a copy of Pathologia Sexualis, solitary confinement in nuthouse.
