Sheena has a hokey premise, but beautiful cinematography, adequate to decent acting and the fine-figured/photogenic Tanya Roberts make it eminently watchable. The leading man played by Ted Vass does a decent job and the villains are adequately villainy.

So if you can overlook a mediocre plot and average acting you still get a lot of fun scenes, a bunch of beautiful African scenery, some decent action and Tanya Roberts.

If half stars were supported I would have given it a 5.5.

Season of the Witch was an enjoyable watch from beginning to end. Cage and Perlman were very credible a war-weary, disillusioned veterans of the crusades who take on task for the Church they had rejected.

Nothing particularly special about this film, but it a very decent effort that does a good job in laying a foundation for the heroes actions and has a very intense climax.

Good, evil and redemption - For an evening of entertainment you could do far worse.

And yes, there can be a difference in serving God versus serving the Church.

Atomic Testing creates a monster. Perhaps an overused premise for science fiction, but Giant Behemoth does a very credible job in exploiting this premise. The film does a much better job in detailing the scientific investigation that methodically uncovers the nature of the beast than most films - past or present.

The characters are likable and believable.

The acting ranges from competent to very good.

This is a well-directed, well acted film.

Assuming you buy into the ability of radiation to create monsters, the plot line is quite credible.

The special effects and the monster are decent for 1959, but vastly inferior to what we get today.

Still it is a much better film than most modern sci-fi films.
