Movie Reviews of Paradise
Movie Review: 5 stars for Phoebe!
Summary: 4 Stars
But it's downgraded to four becuase the movie itself is very ordinary.
It starts off interesting, and the first half isn't bad, but it gets more boring as it goes along, and the ending is a bit of an anti-climax.
I have the Korean import, and the only thing censored is Aames's genitals, which concerns me little, and probably doesn't concern you.
It only actually runs for 90 minutes, but there's already plenty of nudity and sex in it (more than I expected), so I'm personally not too fussed about the 'uncut or not' issue...
Movie Review: Pheobe Cates Fans Unite!
Summary: 4 Stars
Can't remember exactly when this movie came out, but the premis of the movie is this in a nutshell; "Blue Lagoon" made over BUT with a twist. This movie is great if you like either of the "main" actor/actress.. Willie Aames and Phobe Cates. I think this was done after "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" but don't quote me on that. Not Oscar material for the over-all movie but Phobe Cates "naked" sure don't hurt the eye's any!
Movie Review: PHOEBE CATES!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Skip the plot and dialogue. Let's cut to the chase. PHOEBE CATES! PHOEBE CATES NAKED! PHOEBE CATES NAKED IN A WATERFALL SHOWER! PHOEBE CATES NAKED SWIMMING!
This is a must have for the softcore junkie fan! Make sure you get the dvd.

Summary: 4 Stars
I was very satisfied with the purchase in question. I found the movie
enjoyable to view--not for children.
Movie Review: Desert Paradise
Summary: 3 Stars
The Premier Classic DVD Collection version of "Paradise" lasts for 90 minutes and has no extras. Leonard Maltin writes it is a 100 minute movie; IMDB says 100 minutes ordinarily but only 90 for the USA. There are optional Korean subtitles and no extras. The DVD cover is a mix of English and Korean and has stills from actions not in this version, including a wedding scene. The picture and sound are good. There is some controversial blurring of the genitals of the David McBride/Willie Aames character. I can't compare this version to others.
There are natural comparisons to "The Blue Lagoon", with an attractive young couple living undressed and unmissed out in the middle of nowhere. In "The Blue Lagoon" the protagonists are shown figuring out how to get along in the wild and having to decide how much effort to make to escape. In "Paradise" the protagonists seem content to remain where they are and move only when The Jackal chases them out. There is no time spent on how to find food or how worrying about how to get home. "Paradise" is a much faster paced movie but raises fewer questions and is not as well acted.
I speculate that for those who are looking primarily at the bodies, those looking at the women will prefer "Paradise" (Phoebe Cates) and those looking at the men will prefer "The Blue Lagoon" (Christopher Atkins).
"Paradise" is entertaining fluff with superior eye-candy.
