"The Island of Dr. Moreau" 1977 PG 1h 39m
Disturbing subject matter, but a fair movie. I never liked Michael York, in his day. Thought he was pompous, overly dramatic, and gay. But surprisingly to me, he actually fits in this movie quite well. All the actors were good, but all of them were also a little stiff.
I would single out Barbara Carrera. Obviously she is the T&A; and I give her a 9 for that. But, she isn't a half bad actress. I kinda like the stuff she has done over the years.
I hate comparing adaptations and steenking books. I have never read the book, and I don't care. I am a movie buff. This 1997 version is a classic in it's own right. I remember it being widely discussed in 1977. It was quite the topic of conversation, for it's subject matter. I know. I was there.
I was also there when the '66 one came out, and when the '96 one came out. The '66 one caused quite the furor, also. But, we're not here to review those.
All aspects of the cinematography of '77 are excellent. The director strives to give it that feeling of the correct setting. The sets are costumes are well done, and period specific. Even the music harks back to the turn of the century. The photography is pretty good for 1977. If I was the King of Hollywood, back in '77, I would have insisted they adjust the screenplay. It seems like it stumbles along.
And guess what? Noflicks doesn't carry it. But, you can watch it free on YouTube!

"The Legend Of The Long Ranger" 1981 PG 1h 38m.
I never watched this movie until today. It was free on YouTube, and I watched bits and pieces. For 40 years, I refused to watch this movie. I still haven't forgotten how these studios, Eaves Movie Ranch and Incorporated Television Company (ITC) treated Clayton Moore. And I am pretty certain I remember Universal's name getting bandied about in the news, also. I know they had their fingers in it, as distributors.
Moore tried to get the role of the Ranger. The studios said, no. Then, Moore stepped on toes by appearing in his old Lone Ranger costume at grocery stores and malls. They brought suit against him, and legally restrained him from doing it again. Yeah, Moore was in the wrong . . . But man . . . Talk about deficating in your own boot. The studio could have paid him for doing appearances, and played it up! Imagine having Clayton Moore, in costume, at the premiere!!! They would have made millions! Instead, they abused Moore because of their childish, egotistical, boys in a sand box moves, and they lost millions. I know I was not the only person that boycotted this movie. It cost $18M. It grossed $13M. Too bad, so sad. That's what you get for tugging on the mask of The Lone Ranger.
I know what was going on. ITC is a British studio, and they were getting even with Americans for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Seriously. They were going to stick it an American icon, and take our money. Or so they thought. I don't know who's bigger; The Lone Ranger or Superman.
I don't know if it's good or bad, but they told parts of the story in a very different way than we've heard before.
Almost as strange, is listening to Merle Haggard narrate the story. His voice and accent is just wrong for this.
Then they cast Christopher Lloyd as Cavendish, the bad guy. And that is a little hard to take. I will give it to Lloyd, he does a really good job. It's just hard to picture him as a bad guy, in a western, after seeing him as the stoner, taxicab driver, Jim Ignatowski ("Taxi" 1978).
The movie isn't half bad. And it has great photography in it. But man, this will go down in history as a giant FUp.
Oh gee. Noflicks doesn't carry it!

"The Dirty Outlaws" 1967 R 1h 43m
Original title: El desperado
AKA: Big Ripoff
Release in the U. S. in 1971
It's a paella and spaghetti western.
It's actually a pretty good yarn, with half decent acting. But, let's not carried away with these 8/10 ratings. I mean, you put this above the Eastwood spaghetti movies? Really? The dubbing alone drags this one down to a 7. LOL The acting isn't terrible, but it isn't really all that good either. The directing is typical of spaghetti westerns. If fact I think spaghetti westerns were a way of laughing at American westerns.
All in all, I liked this movie. There is believeable tension between the characters, and there is sexual tension between Steve, Katy, and Lucy. But, it's not a fairy tale ending for the girls.
