wasnt that bad of a movie
Nastassja Kinski(Cold Heart, Cat People) hires Billy Zane(Zoolander, Tombstone), Dan Aykroyd(tv's Psi Factor, Ghostbusters 1 and 2), Lara Flynn Boyle(tv's The Practice, Afterglow), Michael Biehn(The Rock, The Art Of War) and Rob Schneider(Hot Chick, The Animal) into a plan that would kill her ex-husband Adrian Paul(Highlander Endgame, Christine)...Biehn and Schneider shoot Paul three times but he doesnt die....this is a good black comedy with some funny ass moments...a lot of dreaming and waking up though...Zane is hilarious...Kinski is hot and Biehn as Dave is just a plain dumbass...mainly Biehn in his movies plays a cop or a seal or a badguy. other actors are Joey Travolta, Lisa Eichhorn, Bill Duke(Predator, Commando) and Thomas Haden Church(Demon Knight, George of the jungle).

Hated the Movie, Loved Adrian Paul
I knew this movie was going to be terrible before I bought it, however, I'll watch anything with Adrian Paul in it. Huge fans of Paul's will probably do the same. If you're not a huge fan, I'd recommend skipping this movie and getting "Premonition" instead.

Abyssmal
I thought with the director and cast that this movie might be worth viewing so I rented it. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY! If there is a plot it is miniscule. The cast must have had overdue mortgage payments to agree to be in this abomination. One sees more useless scenes of the Hollywood sign; Hollywood landmarks and CA traffic than anything else. Do Not waste time by viewing the film. If someone offers it to you for free, refuse.

What happened?
This movie is so bad it hurts to watch it. With the cast, and John Landis directing, I expected at least modest entertainment, but this movie didn't deliver. Not only does the plot make no sense..Adrian Paul as the rich ex-boyfriend hasn't changed his will to cut out Natass after THREE years? but it has all these super irritating scenes that look like they are happening...I am a fan of Adrian Paul, I should have realized when he doesn't get mentioned on the jacket that his part was small..like 45 seconds. My recommendation..watch an old highlander episode and save your $. ... Read more

Half screen tests, half film clips
This film is aimed at those who may have wondered where Surrender Cinema finds their actresses. Alongside a few film clips, Auditions From Beyond contains the screen tests of a few girls who made it and a few who did not; it's amazing to see how many Eastern European ladies with little grasp of the English language come in seeking parts. Of course, the producers clearly do not place acting ability and dialogue at the top of their list of requirements. The body check is so important that the guys sometimes just skip the reading and go straight to the ... dancing part of the tryout. Jacqueline Lovell certainly makes an impression on the producers, but the most memorable and unusual screen test definitely goes to Nikki Fritz, earning her inclusion in two of the film clips interspersed throughout this tape. Having been impressed by Vanesa Taylor's performance in Femalien, I was hoping to see some new material from her included here, but she only appears in a film clip from the aforementioned movie. If you've seen several of Surrender Cinema's movies (including Femalien and Virtual Encounters), you can safely pass this item by because the only original content you will find here are several humorous but far from mesmerizing auditions from relative unknowns.

GET THE UNRATED VERSION
The 5 stars rating is for the unrated version which is available through the auction shops

Really Bad Retread
I recommend avoiding this one. It's just the audition tapes of the "Surrender girls" with old footage from previously released movies mixed in.

NIKKI FRITZ RULES
Although it's true that this is a compilation DVD, the sequence with Nikki Fritz alone is worth the price of this, or at least a ren tal.

Auditions or SUbtractions from Beyond?
The previosus fils produced by this house like Femalien 1 etc. can be ranked good production. However in this case it seems to be just a rehash of old tape. Any number of girls, some recognizable and others not are in this film in all stages of nudity. There are also several clips from other films which are outstanding, unless you've seen those other films. There are a number of solo nude scenes doing a number of things, some playing basketball, others talking, still others playing with themselves. The only thing of value in this tape is the very last scene, a short but erotic girl-girl scene with a very enthusiastic and enjoyable Sandy Wasko and a more subdued Tammie Hainum. Not highly recommend ... Read more

Only watch it if you are a Brian Heidik fan!
He is the winnner of the latest Survivor & is in this movie. It is barely watchable, only view it if you are a die hard fan!

Cinemax late-night movie
This is a "Cinemax type" of cable-tv-movie (late night on the weekend). It's a softcore skinflick. The Robin Hood premise is just an excuse to start each new scene and then get the girls naked, and it does have lots of naked girls throughout the entire movie. The naked girls are the same girls that I've seen in other "Surrender Cinema" movies that are shown on Cinemax" (for example....the same as The Erotic Time Machine movie by Surrender Cinema). If you wait a couple of years, this movie will probably be on late night cable tv (such as Cinemax). Is this movie for you? Do you like brainless late night T&A on cable tv....where the plot is to show bare breasts? ... Read more

Nil Science Fiction, Strong Sexual Content
Because this video in unrated and carries no warning in the information area I feel shoppers should be aware that this by all rights a soft core porn film with strong sexual content and little science fiction. I bought the VHS version from another source expecting the sort of movie "Roger Corman Presents" might sponsor, something along the lines of "Species" or Amanda & the Alien. While more in the vein of the latter the sci-fi part, {or any other technology for that matter}, is limited to a few teleportations via telekinesis and some aura/emotion melding. The movie is probably 60% by time made of sexual contact. Technically the movie is suprisingly well made for the genera. It is shot on film {not video tape}. The scenery is professionally done and the acting level reaches that of daytime soap operas. The sound quality is not bad. So the technical qualities are there to be transfered to DVD, just beware of the content.

Venesa Taylor makes Femalien the best movie of its kind
I have to say I really enjoyed Femalien. Yes, it's undeniably soft-core porn, but it is absolutely the best movie of this type I have ever seen. The plot isn't anything to brag about, but it does make some sense and holds together quite nicely. Femalien is an alien 'collector' sent to earth to study human intimacy. Her people have evolved beyond physical bodies to become energy beings, and intimacy has been lost in the process. Femalien is given a 'suitable' form (I'll say) that will allow her to pass herself off as a human being and learn all about interpersonal relations by observing humans interacting with one another. She doesn't have to look very far to find subjects for study, and she is a quick learner, engaging in her own interaction experiments before very long.

This whole movie just exudes professionalism, from the acting to the camera work to whatever else directors do that makes a film a real treat to watch. You won't find this many attractive women in most films of this type, either. Venesa Taylor in particular is a living doll; hers is a classic beauty that is quite rare these days. She is just completely captivating. She has talent, too, and her naïve, innocent manner of speech and appearance just suits her role in this movie to a tee. The sex scenes, even the ones that don't include Venesa Taylor, are also as good as you will find in movies of this genre. Basically, Femalien has it all. Forget about all the disappointments you may have felt when watching other supposedly good movies of this type; Femalien is sure to please. As long as you are aware of this movie's exceedingly erotic nature and don't approach it expecting a thrilling science fiction adventure, there is simply no way you can be disappointed.

Aliens Study the Sensual Arts
I was in the mood for some alien invasion movies the other day and watched a small marathon. As well as such movies as The Arrival, I watched a film called Femalien. Femalien reminds me of a modern remake of The Girl From Starship Venus.

Femalien is the story of an alien landing on Earth to study human interactions. The energy being is given the form of a young woman. What follows are scenes of her spying on couples and her interactions with others. The alien is collecting and cataloging experiences for her race who have risen above physicality but still miss it. During her adventures she tries to help a local woman retain ownership of her diner.

While the plot is weak I do recommend this film for those times when a movie like Invasion of the Star Creatures or Galaxina is the sort of thing you are looking for.

Excellent actresses; stupid "plot"
This movie uses science fiction as a flimsy excuse to accomplish a few plot objectives, like transporting back to her bedroom instead of seducing, etc. And the plot itself gets so ridiculous that you really wouldn't want to stick around for the ending...
But, I'll bet you will. I did, and I'm glad I did. If you liked the first love scene in "Mulholland Drive", you will love this movie. Mostly for the ending scene, but there's a little more to it.
Somehow these actors make you forget the ridiculous setups for the sex scenes. It's almost tastefully done. Unlike in hardcore, these people actually look like real people (although much more attractive) when making love. And in spite of the script, they manage to create a little bit of sexual tension.
But that's if your trying to follow the "story". If you just like to see some really beautiful women (and/or men) getting naked, I can highly recommend this on that subject. As many reviewers have stated, the lead is ravishing. She a little believeable in the role, but who cares: she's super hot! And the others are very nice too-- not a dud in the bunch.
So, even though this is another smoothjazz softcore movie, it's not typical. It's very beautiful, and very dumb. In other words, any Heather Graham fans will get it.

Simply the Best, in my humble opinion... :o)
As an adult female that never ever considered purchasing a movie of this sort before, I must say that I really enjoyed it (I'm glad that I did).
My goodness, the female lead is beyond words.
Not that I've ever thought of another female in that way before (I might just change my mind).
So far, I've purchased and viewed 2 other Surrender Cinema movies, they were great, as well.
But, I must say 1 particular scene in this movie made me a convert, it did.
All in all, I'm really glad that I purchased it.

Great sexy movie that your girlfriend would like too
If you need a movie for you and your girlfriend to get into the mood this is the right one. It has a plot that chicks like, you know, the wife is upset because her man isn't interested in her anymore so she goes away to get him back, at some sexy hotel. Guys will like the sex sences with Ahmo Hight, who plays the slutty sister. The sence with her and another women and then with some guy at the end are some of the hottest sex scenes that you will see on soft-core porn...

Sad waste of time and money
As others have noted, this is NOT the uncut version, but rather the very watered down R-rated version. I have the R-rated copy, as well as this "director's cut", and they are identical. This was either a grossly negligent error on the part of the studio, or a deliberate misrepresentation for the sake of increased sales. Either way, if the real deal is what you seek, be forewarned and stay clear of this disk!

BEWARE- Director's Cut not the Uncut Version!!!
Waste of time and money.
This is the woefully short and BORING version of teh movie.
Don't bother with this - this should not have been advertised as the Unrated Version...

BEWARE: This is the Director's Cut, NOT the Uncut version!
This is the woefully short and boring director's cut of the version.
Do not be fooled, this is NOT the Uncut Version!

High Schooler Saves Humanity from Aliens
Alien Arsenal" is a fast-moving, fun, low-budget film mixing high school drama with science fiction action.

Ralph (Josh Hammond) is a bespectacled nerd who doodles comic-strip superheroes and has his eye on cheerleader Felicia (Michelle Nordin), who is already an item with football jock, Flash (Krisztian Kovacs). The movie starts with three preppie-types bullying Ralph.

The real story begins with Ralph and long-time best friend Baxter (Danielle Hoover) being assigned to clean a wall in the basement of their high school, Mount Limbaugh HS. Ralph discovers the bricks are loose. Pulling them away, Ralph and Baxter discover a chamber filled with mysterious equipment and suits of Star Wars Imperial-like armor. Ralph and Baxter decide to carry away and hide the moveable goods. Unfortunately, opening the chamber alerts nearby aliens in space, causing three to transform and teleport themselves as goth-like high school students to Mount Limbaugh HS. The aliens had been planning to use the equipment in the chamber to capture a stellar death ray that would wipe out all humans while sparing property. ...

What to do with the bullies? What to do with Flash and Felicia? What effect does the newfound power have on its possessors' attitudes? Getting more serious, what to do with the aliens? Will humanity survive? The outcome is very close.

The script is pretty good, and the director (whom I believe is David DeCoteau, ...moves the picture smartly along. The best part is the convincing relationship between Ralph and Baxter, the two best actors. ...The very blue-eyed aliens are a hoot too but do not need to show much acting range.

It's clean fun. The actors seem to do their own fighting. No sex [A kiss or a shirtless Flash in the gym is the limit]. ...PG-13.

One can make fun of some of the special effects, like having a shot bounce off armor be proof of invulnerability, when the throat and lower face targets are uncovered. One can notice that Ralph is a great shot with unfamiliar guns and that the opposition is not as accurate.

One annoyance came from the video box promising "Includes Bonus 'Behind the Scenes' Featurette!". My copy started with a one-minute montage of Full Moon movies and then an ad for puppet action figures taken from the "Puppetmasters" movie series. Then came the movie, then nothing. ...
For the low price, "Alien Arsenal" delivers a lot of fun. ... Read more

amazing, lots of T+A
this is a must bye, it is a great video, it defenetly does the job. The whole movie was great. The sex scenes were amazing. The views and angles wrere the work of art. I mean it showed everything. Amazing. You'l never get bored of this. So far this is the best softcore that I purcased. I mean the othere videos were good, but this is #1, so far. I'm sure if i keep looking il find something better, but this..you just have too see it on ur own. all the women are gorgious!

Very attractive casting + weak plot = semi-sexy flick
The girls in this video are hot! The best scene (in my opinion) was when the evil bad girl abducts the beautiful blonde and takes her back to her room for some one-on-one lezzie action. But even this potentially hot scene was marred somewhat by the almost-mechanical acting of the women. They kind of went through the motions precisely as scripted, which took away any excitement from this otherwise sizzling scene. The rest of the story line was pretty bland, which is a shame since the casting was quite good.

A little more effort needed here...
This wasn't a bad video, but some parts of it weren't as good as they COULD have been. I mean, this hot blonde android (Veronica) is accidentally sent back in time to the present, where she ends up working for a guy who produces sexy catalogs. Veronica is so hot she's abducted by the competition, which includes a beautiful brunette as boss. There's a great scene where this brunette takes the blonde into her bedroom for what should-have-been a dynamite lezzie scene, but was just a bit too mechanical for my taste. Still, a good effort nonetheless, just not as good as it COULD have been.

Surrender Cinema does it again
For those interested in soft-core, this is a winner. As is to be expected from Surrender, the girls are fine -- especially julia. The premise isn't too bad, and neither is the acting. Some good scenes. Worth a look, or two. ... Read more

Poor entry still managed to charm me.
I agree with the review from FANGORIA magazine...Curse of the Puppet Master is nothing but a remake of the man-turned-into-a-snake B-movie classic Ssssss, starring Strother (Cool Hand Luke) Martin and Dirk (Battlestar Galactica) Benedict. The special effects director is even seen goofing off with the original snakeman from that camp classic in the Video Zone segment, so they are proud of their lack of imagination!

"Story" theft aside, I found this entry a silly enough guilty pleasure. Anyone else notice that the skies are pretty clear and blue during the day, but there sure is a heck of a lot of lightning, but no rain, at night. Sadly the effects are really, really bad. The puppets are just dangled on a stick or something, or held by someone under the camera frame and kind of wobbled back and forth to look like they are walking or running or whatever. Blargh!

But I still found myself enjoying it all. That just proves that I am insane.

OK for a B movie
I'm not a Puppet Master guru like some of the other reviewers, but I thought the story line was OK.
Pro: Emily Harrison is cute.
Con: the ending sucked. It's as if the writer rushed to end the story.

The worst of the puppet master series
Don't see this movie on any accounts.You dont need to see this to know more about the puppet master series.Waste of time and money

Worth watching for an undiscovered talent!
The guy who was a featured extra at the main puppet show should have had more screen time. Ive seen his work on E.R. and Days Of Our Lives, and hes a talent to watch out for. The movie dragged until he made his appearence! Rent or buy this movie if only to experience TRUE talent!

the curse
the curse of the puppet master was a good movie

i like the story
but the end was cut off like i dont know like it was miss
they
all so used parts from all the puppet masters i played name witch

if you liked puppet master 4 and 5 see it
i gave it 4 stars for the story and how they used the scenes in the movie

the puppet will live forever!! ... Read more

The Day Time Ended
I first saw this movie on TV in the 80s and for some reason it stuck in my mind. Now having seen it again i'm not too sure why, although if you take into account the low budget and date that it was made i suppose it isn't too bad. Its basically a strange mix of UFOs, Aliens and 'Monsters' which terrorise a family on a ranch.. The ending is a little bizarre but overall quite an enjoyable movie.

THE DAY TIME ENDED
I first saw this movie in a local video store I decieded to pick up a copy of it. It was just the way I thought it would be. bad acting, ok special effects, desent low-budget plot, etc.
if you like prehistoric monsters, lasers, or sci-fi movies, this is for you.

Time Warp In The Mojave Desert
Even though it is clearly made on a very low budget, I honorably disagree with the previous reviewer that THE DAY TIME ENDED is out-and-out junk. Far worse sci-fi films than this have been made on budgets fifty to a hundred times what it cost to make this film.

The story involves a family (led by Jim Davis, Chris Mitchum, and Dorothy Malone) who have moved out to a solar-powered home in the Mojave Desert to escape the terrors of big-city crime in Los Angeles. When they get to their isolated home, however, they discover that it has been trashed. Initially, it is thought that motorcycle vandals were the cause. In fact, however, it is the result of a trinary supernova explosion that occurred two hundred years ago and whose effects are only being felt on Earth now. Alien beings and their accompanying UFO spacecraft have pulled the family and their house into a mysterious time/space warp, full of weird and sometimes terrifying phonomena. The coda finds the family venturing across the desert plains to a beautiful futuristic crystal city, with Davis intoning, "Maybe this was all meant to be."

John 'Bud' Cardos, who directed the fine 1977 low-budget horror film KINGDOM OF THE SPIDERS, has set himself a very ambitious task to make a good sci-fi film on a very slim budget. This film's inspirations are clearly Kubrick's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and Spielberg's CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND; and while the special effects are, unsurprisingly, not up to the standards of those two masterful movies, I think they hold up pretty well. The stop-motion dinosaurs and monsters are fairly well done, as are the UFOs and the trinary nova explosions. Most fascinating for me was the eerie green pyramid that the family's youngest daughter (Natasha Ryan) sees, which may have been inspired by Arthur C. Clarke's short story "The Sentinel" (which provided part of the inspiration for 2001).

THE DAY TIME ENDED may not qualify as a sci-fi masterpiece, but it certainly deserves to be rediscovered at the very least as a minor sci-fi gem. One can do far worse than this low-budget film that occasionally looks like a glossy big-budget venture.

Great special effects
The guy who played J.R. 's daddy on Dallas stars in this movie. Space aliens and strange creatures pester a familiy on a secluded ranch. Really nice special effects.

The Day the Movie Ended
I remember, twenty or so years ago, when the television commercials for this film looked pretty cool. My friends and I had planned on seeing it, but it left the theaters after the first week it was released. I now know why.

A threadbare story is coupled with a few idiotic characters that seem to have been snatched from several different P.M. soaps. Throw in a little girl who talks to inanimate objects, add a freestyle rubber monster wrestling match, sprinkle with a tiny alien gray that seems to have no relevance to an already irrelevant story...

Shake well...

Let it all run around a movie set while you film it...viola! We'll call it "The Day Time Ended"!

Eye From The Eighth Dimension
This is not to be confused with Roger Corman's tribute to B-films, that's The Phantom Eye. Also don't confuse it with Forrest Tucker's alien invasion movie, that's The Crawling Eye. Nope, this one is a collection of bad actors, sets that don't fit together, a script which confuses the sets, and a giant eyeball on a stalk that has a thing for women.

A goofy scientist is trying to view the eighth dimension. His test subject is accidentally infected by something from said dimension. It swells into the giant eye. The eye swarms around an apartment building by using the air vents. Huh? The vents are about four feet by three feet.

The scientist has a wife who tries to bed every male in the film (except Weird Bill) as she wants it all the time. Two male bodybuilders who do heavy drugs and hang out in their underwear are one of her targets. They are also a target for the Eye.

Anyway, the Eye runs around the building feeling up women and blasting people with green rays. Luckily it is sensitive to light. In the end it is cornered (don't know why it couldn't get away) and flees back to its home dimension.

Really bad film. The bodybuilders apartment is a two-story studio with the door on a landing in the top half. The script occasionally calls the lab the attic and the attic the lab. To make it worse, the bodybuilders place has a peaked ceiling with beams (shouldn't that one be at the top?).

So we have a film with a bad script, bad acting (I love Weird Bills fake voice), lots of nudity, strange characters, and a monster eye. It's so bad, what's not to like?

The DVD has no special features except a small group of trailers for other films. There is not even a scene selection option. At least it does have tracks.

Boring!
Now I like this kind of movie.....usually.

The reviewer below covers most of it & the two other movies he mentioned - 'Hideous' & 'Head of the Family' - I do like, but unfortunately this one just doesn't have anything going for it.

A giant eye going around, for want of a better phrase, having sex with people does sound like it could be funny....but it isn't. I hate to give a Full Moon movie only two stars beause I'm definitely a fan, but to be honest, this barely deserves one! Come on people, get a grip, this isn't even a good bad movie!

Oh, Where to Begin...
On the bright side, Lovell looks very good and let's face it, that is the best thing about this truly bad movie. We have "Creepy Bill" doing a really odd impression of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice throughout this flick (Why? No one knows.), two stoners with great bodies and no acting ability - wait...did I actually use the words "acting ability" within the confines of a review for THIS MOVIE? No, no, no - Lovell is the closest thing to an actor you will find in this thing. As for everyone else...pu-lease. Lovells husband, who married her for her money (With that body? The man is truly a mad scientist!) is conducting experiments into another dimension and brings back through this tiny eyepiece an enormous killer eye. Kind'a raises the hair on the back of your neck, huh?

And shall we touch upon the amazing special effects? Let us do more than touch. Let us beat them senseless with a baseball bat. Much like the plot they are awful and practically nonexistent.

Would I recommend this movie? Oh yes. While a truly awful movie, it certainly isn't as bad as BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS, but then what is? It will go on my shelf with HIDEOUS and HEAD OF THE FAMILY. For the lovers of insanely mind numbing films, and I'll admit to being one, it is well worth owning.

Stevens' finest work to date.

and a plot that will leave you speechless. Joe Stevens

Beware! This appears to be the R rated version.
It appears that the upcoming release of Andromina: The Pleasure Planet on 10-5-2004 from Koch is going to be another hacked to shreds R rated version. Granted, I haven't seen it yet, and if it does turn out to be the unrated version, I'll come back and correct this review. But information elsewhere on the internet indicates that this will be the 80 minute R rated version. Not the 92 minute unrated version.

Amber Saved it
Well . . .Lemme see it wasn't horrible the sex scenes and do not have enough life in them it is as though actors are bored, although the opening sex scene with Amber Newman saved it all, the only reason I watch the film over and over and over again, I gave it a whole star just for that scene

What a great softcore film
I love Roxy (Shyra De Land), so a beautiful woman. the guys are bodybuilders and bad actors. Had anybody informations about Shyra DeLand, I need more satisfaction!!!!!!!

didn't work
gave it 1 star cuz when i first got the video, and put play, it didn't work properly until like 20 minutes into it.

Worth It. I think!
I've seen bits and pieces of this movie on Showtime or Cinemax I believe and I thought it would be good to have if it ever came out on Video. I found a copy here on VHS ... I heard from other reviews that this movie is softcore which I believe, but I have to admit there are a lot of sex scenes like one where this guy gets it on with this girl in front of everyone in a bar place and I liked some of the Lesbian Scenes, but they could've been a lot better. Anyway it's pretty cool of what i've seen so you might check it out. I would buy it if I were you cause it's kind of hard to see this movie on cinemax or showtime! ... Read more

A near perfect movie from Full Moon!!!!!
I have grown to love and sometimes hate Full Moon over the years, because alot of their past efforts have failed. Many of Full Moon's movies usually have no plot, boring, terrible acting, or is just plain stupid. That was the not the case with Shrieker. Shrieker is full on fun suspense and slasher! It builds up to the deadly climax when the Shrieker is going to get some one! It makes you wonder who is it going to get next? Full Moon have ripped off of some movies in the past and Hellraiser was one of them. Somewhere in the opening credits it shows these markings and has someone talking. One of those markings were the puzzle box from Hellraiser. It wasn't shown in the rest of the movie so Full Moon didn't ripp off Hellraiser in the plot. That was the only putdown in this movie, because they ran out of ideas so they used the puzzle box from Hellraiser. I have seen other movies that have ripped off of other peoples ideas. For example Jason Goes To Hell : The Final Friday somewhere in the middle of that movie someone finds a book which turns out to be the Book of the Dead from Sam Raimi's gory cult classic Evil Dead. The Shrieker was an awesome looking creature and killed people in a disgusting way. I loved it! Shrieker is one of the few good Full Moon movies!

If You Hear It...It's Too Late!!!!!!!!
It strikes without warning. It can morph through walls, ceilings, floors.
There is no place to hide. Behind every corner lies a potential doorway to death. After fifty years, the SHRIEKER has been summoned again. Five will die tonight. The sixth will become its master. When you hear the sound of its voice...your time has come.

Passable
If you like softcore this is not bad. Unfortunately, there is too little of Jacqueline Lovell, who is the only real standout in the whole video. If you are bored by most softcore, this one will not do anything for you.

Another one of the early Surrender Cinema must have videos.
Lolida 2000 ranks up there with Virtual Encounters 1, Virtual Encounters 2, and Femalien as one of the "must have" softcore videos that they released in the last half of the 1990's.

This is what softcore is supposed to be. The women are beautiful, the [physical] scenes are plentiful, and the action stops just short of actual hardcore. My favorites scenes were the prison cell lesbians and the totally gratuitous encounter between the 1950's lovers in the diner.

This is an easy recommendation.

Now if only someone would do DVD releases of Surrender's two other A-list titles ("Exotic House of Wax" and "Hotel Exotica") all would be right in the world.

T&A which by me is okay!
Awful everything, but the girls are hot (especially the blonde that always gets tied up... and gets all hot bothered when she's with some guy who's also in the movie and she takes it out in him in a rather satisfying way) and the scenes are energetic and tops for the softcore genre.
If you're watching this for other than a cheap thrill, you might as well look somewhere else. This movie has only one thing to offer, big-breasted bimbo's itching to have their shirts and other clothing items torn off.

Erotic science fiction at its best
In this erotic science fiction film from the folks at Surrender Cinema, fan favorite Jacqueline Lovell plays Lolida, a former employee of an organization dedicated to finding and destroying anything possessing the least bit of sexual content. Now, she is on the run from her former employers, carrying with her a number of video "stories" that touched her (and caused her to touch herself) and made her realize that the very knowledge she was destroying should actually be spread far and wide. To that effect, she produces three of these stories for the benefit of whoever may be receiving her transmission. The three individual stories are quite strange, involving alien abduction, a female pilot's imprisonment on a distant planet, and a man caught in a "time slip." Featuring a significant number of impressive softcore scenes, these three stories manage to be interesting as well as provocative. It is unfortunate that Jacqueline Lovell serves as little more than lovely narrator herein, but some scintillating performances from the likes of Gabriella Hall do much to assuage one's disappointment. Lolida 2000 is yet further proof that Surrender Cinema makes the best erotic movies in the business.

Lolida 2000
I saw this movie under a different title "O Lita 2000" Same story. Jacqueline Lovell is beautiful as always. She hosts this movie with viginettes throughout. One is of a woman (Gabriella Hall) who was kidnapped by aliens and her memory returns about what happened onboard the spaceship. A man travels through time and has sex in each time period. My favorite was the Female Space Traveller (Chandra) who gets caught by a xenophobic race and put through sexual torment of the brain.

Ms. Lovell has a solo pleasure scene to round out the film. Seeing Jackie's body is always a treat for this fan! ... Read more

THE BEST!
Starring Ashley Cafagna (Saved by the Bell), Len Lesser (Seinfeld) and Robin Downes (Babylon 5).

When fourteen-year-old ELEANOR CRANE (Ashley Cafagna) goes to visit her older cousin PETER in a remote Eastern European village, she receives an unexpectedly cold welcome from the villagers, who are plagued by a deadly curse-and from her cousin, who hides a deadly secret of his own.

Suppose to be made for teenagers
Not a bad retelling of the story for teenagers. Some scares, but I find it awfully hard to allow any ofensive language in movie that are specifically designed for the younger audiences. Our children may be using the language and hearing it, but does it make it right. As far as gore, there is very little to none. I rated it a 1 for the main fact of the language. Outside of that I would give it a 3.

WereWolf Reborn..for a half an hour film..
Ok..well..I saw the movie(duh)..i rented it..it was ok..not of what i was expecting..the story was good..they could have made it a little longer an better..the werewolf effects were advrage..better than the howling 2,3,4,5..atleast werewolf reborn showed the werewolf..but it is an entertianing movie..i say make your 5 (possibly 4) year old to 7 or/& 9 year old watch it..(an the ages inbetween)..i think those ages would get frightend out of it..but ages that are older..would either hate it or rate it ok.

Gypsies, Pentagrams, and Silver, Oh My!
They claimed to have tried hard, yet, they did so little. "Werewolf Reborn" is a hackneyed attempt at a werewolf movie, using the old cliche of gypsies, and pentagrams (though no wolfsbane). There was nothing original about the movie, not to mention that the werewolf looked lousy (just a guy with big, furry ears).

THE WEREWOLF REBORN!
This is a truly entertaining movie, especially for those new to the world of classic horror, though this is new.It stars actors from popular tv series. The makers of this movie are true horror fans who love wahat they're doing. The story is about right for a werewolf movie. A girl is visiting her werewolf uncle in a faraway village. She learns he's a werewolf and tries to help him - until he turns on her and she knows what she must do. The werewolf itself is scary(not too scary), and the transformation is wonderfully done. Not destined for fame, THE WEREWOLF REBORN made me remember that there still are people who still appreciate the good ol days of monster movies. ... Read more

If the casting couch could talk
Casting Couch doesn't really need a lot of explanation. What kind of things can you imagine taking place on a casting couch? Yep, you got it. Just add a reasonably attractive hostess leading you from one story to the next, and you've got Casting Couch all figured out. This little film does come from the fine folks at Surrender Cinema, but I'm afraid you won't see any of their real stars putting in an appearance. Sadly, that means no Jacqueline Lovell or Venesa Taylor. The girls in these "auditions" aren't bad, though, and just for those who would complain about the exploitation of young actresses, even in a fictionalized portrayal such as this, there is one scene wherein a woman does a little exploiting of a man and, of course, another scene featuring a woman casting director trying to make sure an actress is going to be comfortable with the type of scene she is auditioning for. I'll give this effort three stars, with one point deducted for the lack of any real Surrender Cinema starlets and another point deducted for the fact that I saw a little more than I really wanted to see of the actors (if you know what I mean).

A lengthy erotic masterpiece.
Casting Couch isn't really a movie. It basically stars Holly Sampson as a casting agent who tells little stories about aspiring actresses who do some naughty things to get into a movie. The results are some truly steamy and very explicit sex scenes that are among the most erotic I've seen to date (rivaling those in Femalien and Alien Files). Yeah, the lighting often stinks and the audio is pretty bad, but these scenes work as the uninhibited fantasies they are. The standout scene is probably the one between the Brits, a very graphic scene that almost crosses the line to hardcore (and the raven-haired woman in this scene is extremely hot). The unbearably pretty Holly Sampson gets a very explicit masturbation scene, coming at the very end, which might be a long wait for her fans, since this movie runs over 2-and-a-half hours!

steamiest surrender cinema yet
This is the steamiest Surrender Cinema offering yet. You won't see it in this version on cable. There is no plot to speak of, simply one scene after another of "casting couch" auditions. There are a couple of very hot lesbian scenes, but the majority of the scenes are straight. All the scenes are very explicit with respect to genital nudity, including full frontal male nudity and some very explicit female frontal and rear shots. While the sexual activity is tame compared to standard XXX, it crosses the line of what you could see on cinemax (explicit masturbation for example). some of the standard actresses from Surrender, including Kim Yates, who looks like she has gotten a nose job (a mistake on her part)obviously relishing her lesbian scene. A must buy for late night viewing. ... Read more

Different. Definately different.
I love bad movies. I have dozens of truly silly flicks and this one just fits right in. The special effects were considerably better than I expected, as was the acting. As usual, Jacqueline Lovell took what was given to her and made the best of it. Not nearly as bad as BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS (which is in my opinion THE worst movie ever made) but still fun.

Let's face it, people, if you want to enjoy yourself and watch these movies you need a great sense of humor, a willingness to overlook flawed material, and a good stiff drink. Otherwise, you're wasting your time. This ain't Oscar material. This is sit back with your friends, crank up the sound, relax and get ready to laugh your butt off. That's what bad movies are all about. This one will do just fine, thank you.

not weird enough
I thought this diverting little effort could have been pushed a lot further. Indeed, I was hoping for it to be a genuine cult item but I was left a little disappointed.
Not bad though and cheap enough to add your collection.
Now, where's The Dark Backward when you need it on dvd ?

Small Town Mutants
The Stackpooles are different from the rest of the town. They have money. They keep themselves apart from the town except when stocking up supplies. They are also quadruplets mutated in unusual ways.

One brother is dumb but super-strong. Another brother has super-senses (and really big eyes), the sister has unresistable powers of sexuality. The last brother, Myron, has all of the brains. He is the head of the family with a head as big as most peoples' torsos. They are also connected telepathically.

Grifters, infidelity and bribery drive a plot that reveals what the Stackpooles are up to in their isolated home. But Myron really hates not being in control and the battle of wills and tortures begins.

With liberal amounts of nudity, sex, and colorful characters this is an enjoyable and sometimes silly horror film that is very light on the blood and guts (although there is some finger breaking). I found it to be quite rewatchable and one of the better thought out Full Moon films. Myron is a wonderful evil genius.

Funny Movie If You Like Big Heads
This movie is about people backmailling a family of freaks who
do brain operations on people. These poor blackmailers do not know what they got themselves in for. If you like B horror movies then you will like this one. No one in this movie is normal.

Quality Viewing For Aeroflot Passengers Only
Question: How low can a movie go? Answer: VERY!

Initially, I was looking forward to seeing this flick, one that promised 'head over heels' fun in the tradition of Re-animator & Basket Case. But I should have known better.

With a box cover catchphrase of 'upset the head, and you're dead', this video nasty failed to live up even to MY extremely low expectations.

Set in a hicksville town called Nob Hollow....yes, that's right....Nob Hollow, the Stackpool family is up to the usual no good. While lacking the finesse of the Klopecs, this collection of circus sideshow oddities & mutants is bound to amuse. These oddballs are led by a psychic brainiac called Myron (better known as the head of the family). You see, Myron's exactly that...a horribly deformed gigantic head in a chair. Obviously a graduate of the 'Hideous Human Experimentation' University. Judging by his collection of grotesquely deformed & lobotomised victims, I'd say with full honours. Now here's a movie spot that even Eric Roberts would have rejected....er....well maybe. The special effects are cheap....I mean you have to convert the budget into Indian Rupee to be even slightly impressed. The plot's hardly worth mentioning suffice to say that the head is big and severely brain damaged. Save your bucks and buy a chuppa chup instead. ... Read more

I recommend it !!!
Unlike other "time travel" movies, this one takes you to the olden times instead of the future. Two women are involved, stars Amy Lindsay and Kim Yates. Together they show cowboys how to enjoy life . Get the uncut version. ... Read more

entertaining
Great directing of actors who are really into the story. Funny moments and scary moments. Great computer effects of dragons and flying actors. Had a great evening watching it.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!!
I just love Kris Lemche. I think he is a great actor. I just loved the way Peter handle things in the movie. He was smart and very cute.

This movie is a great movie to watch with your family. It is one of the best family movies I have seen in a while. The rest of the cast were great as well. Peter and Benjamin just had me rolling. The only word to describe their come backs is Sacrasm. I just love it.

This is a great film...
I recommend this film to anyone who loves Science Fiction and a good adventure. The cast is amazing, especially Kristopher Lemche, who plays the lead character Peter. The special effects are great and the story never drags. It's one adventure after another...with a touch of humor and sarcasm. Movies don't get much better than this! ... Read more

When one of the curious kids accidentally pushes a wrong button and gets launched back in time, the space-time continuum is severely disrupted.

Great Movie! Stop bashing stuff like this!
ATTENTION:

Consider the fact that when any movie is made by Full Moon Entertainment, IT WILL BE A POORLY DONE MOVIE! (Excluding the Puppet Master Series)

B-Movies are in a class of their own and need not be critisized! Do not wast your time even watching a Full Moon Video unless you are into this kind of thing. If you decide to try it and don't like it, DO NOT BASH IT WITH BAD REVIEWS BECAUSE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BAD ...!!!!!!!!

This is a wonderful piece of cinematic fiction and should be purchased right away! FULL MOON ENTERTAINMENT RULES!!

dOn'T bUy ThIs MoViE!
it doesn't get any worse than this. If you are reading this review to decide whether or not to buy it, check out the movie "The Stuff." It's on an equally bad level, without the script of a ten year old.

THE WORST MOVIE OF ALL TIME
i can't express enough how bad this movie is. the acting is terrible the effects are even worse and the camera angles make "the stupids" look like a masterpiece. ... Read more

Average sex movie
This movie is just the same as any other sex movie just differnet actors. Plenty of sex to please erotic fans. One sex scnene i don't know was fake or not. A woman is talking on the phone and she looks over the stairs and sees two people kissing. They undress and have sex on the stairs with their bare feet touching. Then she looks away and then looks back and their gone. Never explains that scene. Usual sex movie which earns 3 stars.

EXCLLENT SOFT CORE EROTICA
Landon Hall is an exceptionally beautiful woman and her talents are highlighted in this film. She has very hot lesbian scene with another woman.
The movie also has a performance ny Taylor St. Claire, a hardcore porno queen.
I could do without Dutch Flaherty though

Not your average soft-core
While taking a gander at this "soft-core" film, I soon realized it was one of a kind. For my husband there were beautiful women on display, and for both of us there were outrageous sex scenes. I really enjoyed the use of multiple positions which I don't often see in other soft-core movies. The only gripe I had was the use of classical-type music overlapping any vocal displays of "affection" in this movie. All in all it did a very good job to start some affection in our house. ...
