Blood Orgy Of The She-Devils (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What can I say about this Satanic film hmm. Well the pakaging is a little miss leading. At first glance your thinking this is a satanic porn film with hot girls dancing COMPLEATLY naked and stabbing men with spears. First of all there are only two sacrifice scenes in the whole film and the girls are not as blood thirsty as you might think. The story focuses on a witch named Mara who teaches people how to read their past lives. She acts more like a WICCAN coven leader than a Satanic witch however. It must also be known that the coven also display an anti male WICCAN feel to it as well. The film earns most of it's shock value to the past life flash backs, one scene includes a pocessed girl being stoned to death, another shows a torture and then a burning scene. If you like movies about witchcraft then try it out, but don't get it if your looking for sleazy gore and sex because your not going to find it here. By this time in cenema the witches in this movie should at least be naked as most cult films featured in the 1970s.

Mermaids (1990) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cher plays a free-spirited, uninhibited and saucy mother of two. Charlotte (Winona Ryder) and Kate (Christina Ricci), who are about 15- and 8-years old respectively, are her daughters. Cher's behavior and appearance is an embarrassment to Charlotte who is trying to think "pure thoughts" on her way to becoming a nun. Ironically (considering Ryder's recent troubles) the part she plays has no interest in new clothes and even refuses new shoes, content with her old square boots that look like they were made in the former Soviet Union during the reign of Stalin. This is a nice (but increasingly familiar) switch on the mother who is embarrassed by her daughter's precocious sexuality, and Cher and Ryder play their parts well.
The story, from a novel by Patty Dann, begins with the trio moving into yet another town, this time somewhere in New England. They are always on the run, so to speak, because Cher is afraid of commitment or of staying around long enough to lose her heart to some guy. Enter predictably a man (Bob Hoskins) with the right stuff to win her over and a cute guy (Michael Schoeffing) to rearrange Charlotte's priorities. Director Richard Benjamin plays it as a romantic comedy ... coming of ager with wit and charm. Ryder is adorably cute as a conservative Christian miss goody two shoes who is always lecturing mom while Cher is voluptuous as the kind of woman who says yes, early and often, but underneath it all has strength and a kind of intuitive wisdom about herself and the people around her. Little Ricci really is the mermaid since she likes to practice holding her breath under water.
Part of the strength of the film is in the dialogue and the sharp repartee between Ryder and Cher. My favorite line is from Charlotte who is always dialoging with God. After seeing Schoeffing, who drives the school bus, and realizing what she is feeling, prays "Oh please God, don't make me fall in love and want to do disgusting things!"
