Amazon Women on the Moon

Saw this movie last night too. Yup -- three movies, one night. This one was a blast from the past, as I had seen it way back then. I think I actually saw it on TV in the late 80s -- it had it's theatrical release in 1987. I remember it being very funny. Maybe my tastes have been refined (honed?) over the years -- or memory is a lair -- either way, it wasn't as funny this time around. That's not to say it was without humour. It had its moments, and is definitely one of those movies you want to watch late at night when there's absolutely nothing else on.

This time around, it was interesting catching the many now familiar faces, when they were younger, and were desperate for a gig. There was Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joe Pantoliano (still without hair, but wearing a rug), Lana Clarkson, David Alan Grier (lacking any soul), B.B. King (trying to save Blacks without Soul), Rosanna Arquette, Steve Gutenberg, Robert Picardo (with hair), and the list goes on and on. The movie is a spoof of 1950s SciFi movies -- this one being played on TV, uninterrupted -- except the station keeps having technical difficulties. The technical difficulties are filled with comedy sketches like "Blacks Without Soul," "Titan Man," "Video Date," "First Lady of the Evening," "Son of the Invisible Man," and "Bullshit or Not" -- to name a few. Each had their moments, but aren't necessarily linked together.

Watchable, and will help pass the time.
