Princess of Mars 2009. A painful adaptation to watch. Watching this will bring on Lovecraftian levels of madness.
The Corman Fantastic Four--it's well-made for a such a rush job--better than the 2005 version.
But it is cheap and the fire fx are bad cgi although not so bad for the time they were done.
The cast was good.
After its release, science fiction author Robert A. Heinlein sued for plagiarism, asking for damages of $150,000, claiming that The Brain Eaters was based on his 1951 novel The Puppet Masters. Corman insisted that he was unfamiliar with Heinlein's work, both while reading the script and during the film's production. He did, however, see the obvious comparisons once he read the novel, so Corman settled out of court for $5,000 and acceded to Heinlein's demand that he receive no screen credit, as the author found the film "wanting". The lawsuit that resulted halted actor John Payne's intention of producing a film based on Heinlein's novel.
Their version of Sherlock Holmes -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes -- was on the TV not that long ago. Not bad enough to be good, and not good enough by a long way.The Asylum.
That the acting of all involved was bloodless...?What can you say about a movie about swamp people being attacked by two stuntmen dressed in bad rubber leech costumes

Attack of the Giant Leeches 1959. What can you say about a movie about swamp people being attacked by two stuntmen dressed in bad rubber leech costumes.
The Giant Gila Monster 1959 In this one you have rampaging 70 foot gila monster going around the Texas desert feasting on the locals the locals. So, this teen takes his hot rod car , put nitro in it , tracks down the giant marauding Lizard and sends his car crashing into the monster killing it . It's a pretty silly film with cheap production values but, creepy musical score , it's fun to watch.
What's interesting about this one is the sweaty, sultry, Tennessee Williams feeling to the setting. And the cheating wife in her leopard print underwear.
