You can't fault this film for being dated--- like all blockbuster hits, it's a product of it's time. Neither of the leads can act well, but for a brainless romantic tearjerker, they're certainly attractive enough. And the score is indeed beautiful.
But this film's assertion that dying of cancer at a young age is "romantic" has got to be one of the most offensive, disgusting stunts ever pulled in a major Hollywood movie. Anyone who has survived cancer or lost a loved one to cancer knows how ugly and painful this horrible disease is. There is nothing romantic about it.
The filmakers should be ashamed of themselves, and DVDs of this trash should be boycotted.

You know that a film is not meant to be taken seriously when the cast list includes names like Doris Fish, Miss X and Jennifer Blowdryer. This no budget opus, shot in somebody's apartment with a hand held camera, is clearly meant to be a goof. A gay/camp/drag homage to Ed Wood, and to ALL bad grade Z sci-fi films, it was clearly made by people who think they're really clever. They are not.
The film tries so hard to be campy and bad that it succeeds beyond it's wildest dreams. Every single double entendre falls flat, as do all the other jokes, which seemed childish and forced. What makes Ed Wood films so charming now was Wood's total sincerity in his work, and the fact that he had NO IDEA that he was making bad films.
Vegas In Space was made by trendy hipsters who think their inside jokes and deliberately cheap production values are the last word in chic, downtown humor. That they are so impressed with their own fabulousness is painfully obvious and annoying.

Alexandra Isles, who as Alexandra Moltke played Victoria Winters on the cult classic "Dark Shadows", shows herself to be a brilliant documentary filmaker. This film is about the Danish resistance during the Holocaust. The Danish people, including Isles' own father, were actively involved in hiding Jews from the Nazis, as well as in underground railroads to get Jews out of the country. This film documents the courage of the Danish people during those horrible years, and includes interviews with both Jewish & Danish survivors, plus archival footage. The Power of Conscience is an important historical record in the lives and histories of two peoples. Isles should be proud.
