Puma Man Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The 4 stars are for being such an ridiculously bad film you can't help but laugh your hinder off, whether it's the MST3K version or the "unadulterated" version. Donald Plesance is the villain that looks like an earlier version of Dr. Evil. He steals an Aztec mask from a sacred cave (from Pumaland, no doubt), A hulking Aztec named Vadinho, journeys to England to find the Puma Man. Why is this Puma Man in England, where nothing resembling a Puma has ever been noted. Oh well, the movie tells us he's there so I'll play along. So how do you find a Puma Man? Yellow Pages, Personal Ad, perhaps stake out a lamb in an open field? Nah. Just throw out some poor shmoe from a high rise building and if he doesn't go splat, you get yer man (no joke)!
After a few noted failures to fill the Puma Man position, a paleontologist named Tony is found an acceptable applicant. Tony has the disposition of a 3 year old; whiny and annoying. After much cajoling and bullying, Vadinho convinces Tony to take on our villain bent on World domination (again Dr. Evil-esque). The other reviewers have already noted his unorthodox method of flying (Pumas can fly?!?), so nuf ced about that.

Of course every Puma Man has to have a ditzy blonde bimbo girlfriend with a penchant for wearing WWI fighter pilot cap minus the goggles- doesn't every super hero? If this chick has more than 5 brain cells, then Michael Jackson is normal.
Every aspect of this film, is laugh-out-loud bad! Of the Sci-Fi era Mystery Science Theater episodes, this is one of the best. Rhino must release Werewolf, Jack Frost and Puma Man on DVD. Classics must be preserved.

Green Lantern: First Flight (Two-Disc Special Edition) (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Green Lantern: First Flight is an awesome film. It doesn't waste a lot of time on the origin (which takes place in the first few minutes) and heads straight to the action. Some people might see this as detrimental, but I like how the DC animated projects a lot of the time will just assume that you know the basics of what is going on. It saves a lot of time and allows the movie to start getting to the point.
First off, I was surprised at how brutal some of the violence was for this cartoon. I know that these releases are not necessarily tailor-made for children, but this is no JLU episode. People are impaled, shot, torn through walls into the vacuum of space, and there is pretty much non-stop fighting through most of the 120 minutes. I don't have any problem with that, but it might not be to everyone's liking.
Plot-wise, it's not Shakespeare, but we are talking about an action cartoon here. There is a hero, a villain and lots of cool use of the Green Lantern rings. Those were the only prerequisites I was looking for going in to this thing, and I was not disappointed.
The voice cast did a great job as well. If there is one thing that DC always does right, it is casting their voices. Michael Madsen as Kilowog was my personal favorite. Too bad he didn't have more voice time.
This might possibly be my favorite DVD project of theirs, which is saying a lot considering the fantastic Wonder Woman, New Frontier, and Gotham Knight DVD films. I sincerely hope they continue putting out quality releases like this one.

Batman and Robin - The Complete 1949 Movie Serial Collection (1949) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upon viewing the first chapter, it's obvious that "Batman and Robin" (1949) will not emerge as one of the all-time great serials. With producer Sam Katzman at the helm, it's bargain-basement all the way - right down to the cheap costumes and an incredibly poor excuse for a Batmobile. Despite low-budget shortcomings, there's plenty of hokey fun as Batman and Robin face one contrived cliffhanger after another. The mysterious Wizard makes for an interesting villain, since he never appeared in the comic books. Robert Lowery does a good job as Batman, but John Duncan's Boy Wonder looks like a juvenile delinquent. It's nice to see character actor Lyle Talbot as Commissioner Gordon, even though he has a tendency to activate the Bat Signal in broad daylight. Flaws and all, "Batman and Robin" is an undeniable guilty pleasure.
