The Three Musketeers (1939), starring Don Ameche and the Ritz Brothers I’ve known of the Ritz Brothers for some time, although I’ve not seen many of their movies. Previously, the only one of their movies that I saw was The Gorilla (with Bela Lugosi). And I wasn’t...

Prehistoric Women (1967) – Hammer Films Hammer Films, having made One Million B.C., had all of these leftover sets — what to do with them? Make a very campy, rather silly, “Cavegirls in trouble” film, of course. It’s campy in the style of the 1960’s Batman TV series,...

Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla (1994) Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla is a campy Godzilla movie, in the style of “two guys in rubber suits pretending that they’re in the WWE”. I enjoyed it, but that’s the kind of monster movie that I grew up with; if you are in the...
