The Sandra West Diaries

Sandra West is back in her own series, after having fought side by side with Superseven in "The Adventures Of Superseven". I just saw the pilot episode, "Silencers And Mini Skirts" and was blown away. Everything I expected in a Sandra West series. They throw a lot into the 17 minute inaugural episode and the only things missing are a giant monster attack and someone getting hit by a kitchen sink. The story? Sandra West has to do a routine pick up of a secret chip (Is there any other kind?), from an agent of Y.E.N.T.A.. T.H.E.Y. agents also arrive on the scene and the routine exchange turns into chaos (No pun intended!). Including a really good fight scene! Olivia is awesome and seems born to play "Sandra West", the world's hottest and lethal free lance secret agent. The entire cast delivers and so do the filmmakers. Scott Rhodes really has a handle on the 60's spy parody thing, that many people of my generation love. It is clearly a love letter to the genre and such shows as "Get Smart", "The Man From UNCLE", "The Avengers", "I, Spy", Flint, Matt Helm and many more! I love the quirky characters and can only hope that some of the Superseven characters will make an appearance. The first episode was a blast and I hope it is the first of a long run.

First of all, thank you Big O for a new series of live skirts who become dead skirts. The shootings of the two sexy wows was terrific. Keep shooting more of them. The more the better, and sensationally dressed, or undressed. Could you please have Sandra West get very tired, she falls asleep, and she gets shot several times, during her dream. Sandra West could be shot several times and she survives. My favorite. Sandra West could be shot several times but her bullet proof bra and panties saves her life.I think there is a pattern here, somewhere.Sandra West is the Star and she dies very nicely and convincingly, when she is shot. She is my favorite victim, and I really like it very much when she has been or is shot again.The other stars get shot and that is wonderful too. They all seem to die so great.

You can tell that these guys (and gals) are doing this for the love of the craft. The fact they give it away free on YouTube says everything. They're making an entertaining and funny show with well written gags and well thought out plot concepts. Once you get into the style you can overlook the obvious budget restrictions and enjoy it for what it is. Given a proper TV budget this would be a fantastically entertaining mainstream show. Low production values aside, you can tell these guys have experience and know the trade very well. This isn't just a bunch of kids learning how to make videos and shooting any silly idea that pops into their heads.

The Sandra West Diaries (and The Adventures Of Superseven before it) are wonderful and entertaining shows and are well worth the effort of watching for free, clicking thumbs up, liking and sharing! I encourage all to spread the word and perhaps what we're seeing here, with our support, could be the start of something bigger and better yet to come!

FULL DISCLOSURE: I contribute music to the show (for free) because I see the value in supporting these types of endeavours. The independent artistic community needs all the support it can get in this age of instant free gratification. It takes very little effort to support creative people with big ideas yet few resources to achieve these goals. Show some love, it's totally worth it.

Anyone who is a fan of the Adam West Batman series, Man/Girl from Uncle or even Get Smart, will adore this and its companion series, Super 7.

A real enjoyable hoot from start to finish, with nods to all the various 60's spy thrillers and spoofs to boot. It's enough to inspire Austin Powers back for a 4th part to his trilogy!

I honestly do urge everyone who comes across this little gem to try it out, you won't be disappointed. It is twenty minutes of pure escapist fun and nostalgia.

Olivia Dunkley is sexy, sophisticated and sassy, with plenty of streetwise cred and access to a whole arsenal of... unusual weapons. And, like Clint Eastwood, she seems incapable of missing no matter how difficult the shot.

"Who died and made you obergruppenfuhrer!" and "No Sushi!"....Just two of my favorite lines in this awesome new spy parody series. I was born in 1950 and was an impressionable teen during the 1960's spy craze. I grew up on "Man From U.N.C.L.E.", "Get Smart", "The Avengers", "Secret Agent", "Wild, Wild West" and those hundreds of spy films that permeated the decade. This series and the subsequent "Adventures Of Superseven", are wonderful homages to that bygone era, while keeping it 2000's fresh! These 2 shows are a wink and a nod to all of us who were glued to our sets watching the adventures of Ilya and Solo. The series is filled with action, absurd plots, gadgets Some of which are spy toys I had as a kid!) and hot, glamorous women...A staple of the 1960's spy genre. Olivia Dunkley is hott and awesome as the renegade, freelance secret agent, who plays by her own rule and shoots, kicks and leaves a hefty body count through these series. As an impressionable teen, I was also glued to the spy shows/movies because of the beautiful women and Ms. Dunkley can easily take ranks with the screens most beautiful and capable agents! There are laugh out loud moments and one sequence in particular between Sandra and a wounded agent of Y.E.N.T.A. almost had soda come up my nose. More, please!
