Movie Reviews of Psych-Out / The Trip
Movie Review: Psych-Out / The Trip
Summary: 2 Stars
The videos should have been edited in their full version and screen. Is making money the only purpose? What about customer satisfaction? There already are similar comments posted. So, are you going to keep customers informed about what corrective actions are going to be taken?
Movie Review: Wait until the FULL versions come out - stick it to the man!
Summary: 1 Stars
Sadly, The Trip and Psych-Out have apparently been cut up and censored beyond belief. And why?
Of course it was all done by the establishment, man. That's right - the powers that be don't want we the people to see and hear the real truth. They had already proved that by banning these flicks from VHS as well. This is just so totally bogus!
So I say we boycott these films until the Republican jack-boot army, that hates all expressions of peace and love, finally stops hiding all that beautiful footage from us!
Yes, I said boycott! Boycott! BOYCOTT!
UPDATE 2008: Checked back here a few years after my original review, to see if they might have cleaned up their DVD act, as some other studios have. But I find that they did not. Only the same chopped-up, censored version is still available. Absolutely unacceptable.
I urge everyone never to buy such junk, whether it be this DVD or any other similarly sliced movies. Until we can get the uncut and uncensored ORIGINAL theatrical release that the studios have hidden in their vault, forget it!
Movie Review: BUMMER! Get complete PSYCH OUT. Don't see THE TRIP ever!
Summary: 1 Stars
What a disappointment. I remember seeing PSCYH OUT years ago and finding it a very interesting movie, filled with good acting (Jack Nicholson, etc) and great music (Strawberry Alarm Clock at their best). This "shortened" version is a crime, and what did they could out scenes so unnecessarily for: THE TRIP (One of the worst movies on the 60s!). I had seen THE TRIP, this poor excuse of a movie with Peter Fonda acting like an idiot, years ago but somehow forgot how truly awful an experience watching it can be. Not since HEAD (Monkees movie made in 1968) has there a movie that lacks any plot development; the whole thing is just an excuse to throw in weird psychedelic images and loud, rowdy music form that era. At least with PSYCH OUT you get the idea that there can be fun times involved and not people going in and out of sanity, showing a dreamlike world (as DR STRANGE does in the comic series).! Dennis Hopper was better than Peter Fonda or Bruce Dern, but no acting can save this stinker. What a waste of time!
Movie Review: Cropped version
Summary: 1 Stars
This version of Psych-Out was made from a full screen version, where the left and right sides had been cropped. Then to make this version, they cropped the top and bottom so the image would fit a modern 16:9 monitor. What you see when you watch the version on this DVD is a small rectangle that was cut from the center of the original movie.
The full screen version showed up recently on broadcast TV, and I wanted to see the parts that had been cropped off the sides, so I got hold of a copy of this DVD. Although this DVD is labeled "widescreen" in the description on Amazon, it actually shows less of the original movie than the cropped full screen version. I'd say anyone who buys this on Amazon is entitled to a refund because the term "widescreen" implies, incorrectly in this case, that you are getting the entire original image.
Movie Review: What a bummer!
Summary: 1 Stars
The Trip and psych-Out, two great movies in same package, on DVD...sounds too good to be true, and is too good to be true, I'm afraid, since BOTH of the movies are shorter versions from the originals. So be aware, if you are about to buy this DVD, you won't get the whole movie. The movies have really been mutilated, I was really angry to notice how ridiculously they have been cut. Especially Psych-Out suffers from this mutilation. Since I'm writing my thesis about the 60's films, I really feel these movies earn a better treatment. I feel cheated, but I quess there is no way getting your money back if you live in Finland like I do. So, be aware, it's a rip-off. I'm afraid that we serious movie collector's still have stick to our precious VHS!
