I like films those kinds of films from the era you're reviewing, Psi-Fi. I look forward to watching some of them. Keep the reviews coming!

Psy-Fi

Moving up a couple of decades from the last one...




Crime flick about a detective agency comprised of 3 women, hired by the head of a criminal gang to find out who's behind a series of attacks and robberies targeting his organization. Sort of a ripoff of a Pam Grier flick combined with 'Charlies Angels.' Lousy script, lousy acting, mediocre (at best) directing, and ridiculously cartoonish fight scenes comprised of the type of kung fu fighting which was popular in a lot of action movies at that time. Disappointing to say the least. The poster is by far the best thing about this movie.

Psy-Fi

Action/war film about a commanding officer assigned to replace the well-liked commanding officer of a Navy underwater demolition team, who died in combat. The new commander starts out with a strict no-nonsense approach which the men under his command see as being too rigid and impersonal. He eventually relaxes his demeanor and proves himself to be a selfless leader, earning the respect of the rest of his men and the crew aboard the ship they are assigned to.

Psy-Fi

B&W British sci-fi flick from the 50's. A spaceship crash-lands in Scotland after colliding with a plane. The sole inhabitant of the spaceship emerges soon afterwards, looking like a cross between a vampire and a dominatrix. The martian visits the inhabitants of a nearby inn and announces that Mars is running out of men capable of procreation, and, as a female Martian, she has come from the planet Mars to look for suitable males to bring back to Mars for breeding.

Ridiculous but entertaining enough to watch to the end. The poster shows 3 spaceships but there's only 1 in the movie, and the robot-creature shown in the poster looks far more menacing and interesting than the one that actually appears in the film. A 3 star movie with a 5 star poster.

As a fan of movies so good they're bad, this sounds every bit as enjoyable as Mars Needs Women. I'll have to check it out.

One of my favorites, it never gets old.

^ Any movie I've ever seen, that Ray Harryhausen was involved in, has been worth watching.


And as long as I'm here...




B&W sci-fi thriller about an unusual object which appears on the viewer of a scientist's telescope, enters the Earth's atmosphere, and crashes into the ocean off the coast of Mexico. A large robotic machine eventually emerges from the ocean and runs amok, sucking up electrical energy from power plants, while on its way to a stockpile of nuclear weapons in America.

Psy-Fi

War-action flick told in flashback style. The Commander of aircraft operations on an aircraft carrier in the Korean war, reminisces about his time serving as Fighter Squadron Commander on the same carrier during WWII, while fighting the Japanese in the Pacific. A good bit of actual combat footage from WWII is added to the movie, but it's blended into the action quite well and doesn't interfere with the story or vibe like it sometimes does in other war films which use that same technique.
