Movie Review: A Drag Queen and Her Sister Vie For Tab Hunter
Summary: 5 Stars
"Lust in the Dust" is a low-brow comedy, directed by the masterful Paul Bartel ("Eating Raoul"), and stars Tab Hunter as the quiet gunfighter travelling to Chile Verde, NM, in search of buried gold. Rosie Velez, a refugee from a Sante Fe dance hall, played with great talent and humor by the late cross-dressing film star of the John Waters school Divine, joins him en route. Once in Chile Verde, they meet a kooky assortment of characters: Marguerita (Lainie Kazan), the owner of the town's local saloon/brothel, an insane priest played by Cesar Romero, an eighty year-old prostitute (Nedra Volz), and the leader of a gang of outlaws named Hardcase Williams (Geoffrey Lewis), among others. After a series of silly, sexual misadventures and a couple of great songs by our two lovely leading ladies, the cast tries desperately to solve a limerick and find a missing treasure map. Who will get the gold? ("Did I say 'gold'? I meant 'mold'"). Well, you'll just have to watch and find out. This silly spoof is presented on DVD in sweeping 2.35:1 aspect ratio widescreen and bright vivid colors (both of which the VHS lacks), reminiscent of the 1950s Technicolor/Cinemascope westerns it's spoofing. The best scene by far is the barroom brawl between Divine and Lainie--that scene alone makes this film worth watching. There is also a nicely done "making-of" featurette and the trailer. This movie is not for everyone, but if you're in the mood for a lightweight film with some good raunchy laughs, you should give this one a try.Movie Review: TUMBLING TUMBLEWEEDS....
Summary: 5 Stars
Critics be damned. I love this movie. Paul Bartel directed two of my favorite 80's comedies---"Eating Raoul" and this. Only Bartel could have put together a cast like this in a western satire and get away with it. Lainie Kazan (a much underrated actress with fantastic comedy skills) and Divine are a perfect match for a hellcat-take-all catfight. "You're cheap!" snarls Kazan at Divine. "Cheap!?" shrieks Divine. "This FURNITURE"S cheap!" as she cracks a chair over Kazan's head. Oh, but there is much more going on here. Great location shooting, Tab Hunter as an Eastwood-type mystery drifter, two completely TASTELESS "show-stopper" style saloon numbers -one by Divine and one by Kazan, Cesar Romero as a deranged priest, the wonderful Nedra Volz as "Big Ed" and a host of other top-notch supporting players all rollicking and frolicking their way through this funny,funny movie. As I said, critics may have hated it but I recommend it for Bartel/Divine/Kazan/Hunter fans. The title was supposedly a play on the old western trash classic "Duel In The Sun"!Movie Review: ieeeeee Popie, Muy Fantastico!!!!

This is one of DIVINE'S best even though John Waters had nothing 2 do with it. See DIVINE ride a helpless donkey through the hot blistering desert. See a map of Scottland on 2 BIG BEAUTIFUL BUTTS! See a luscious Latin chica bathe in a desert oasis water hole. Who will find the gold of Chile Verde? Will the priest be invited to any of their parties? This cult clasSICK is loaded with one liners, cheap women, can can entertainment & much more, so pull up a chair & have a drink at Marguerita's Cantina. BUY Lust In The Dust 4 an X-ELENT western romp, filled with laughs, action & adventure,.... U won't B sorry!!

Movie Review: My idea of side splitting funny material......
Summary: 5 Stars
But that's because I happen to think you can't get much funnier than casting a very overweight white male (who thinks he's a female) as a side-saddle burro riding Mexican plus sized siren named Rosie Velez, who is on her way to the dusty desert town of Chile Verde. Miss Kazan, one of moviedoms most underrated comedic actress', shines with her usual brilliance. Definately one of my personal top ten rated comedy pictures of all time. Which means it's right up there with "Some Like it Hot" "Dinner at Eight" and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World".Movie Review: i saw it 30 times at least
Summary: 5 Stars
before i just purchased the DVD & for my amazement discover that the ratio is panoramic 2:35.1. i used to owe it on video & i will never be tired of watching this movie. now that i rediscovered it with more screen than the one that i thought original. i think i'm ready for another set of sessions. divine is as fun as it always be, lanie kazan, a very good comic. tab hunter doesn't make it as a stud, but those where other times. if you like divine, is a not miss.
