Cult Classic For The Ages


BARBARELLA:

"Who can save the universe?"

Barbarella can!
Tasked by the 41st Century President of Earch with finding and defeating the evil Durand-Durand, Barbarella must travel to the planet Lythion and the city of Sogo. Once there, and in fact while trying to get there, Barbarella (Jane Fonda) encounters the widest array of characters and villains with the most outlandish talents and evil schemes I have ever seen.
A truly revolutionary epic, Barbarella entered the halls of cult classics before it was even released in 1968. Co-starring John Phillip Law (Danger: Diabolik!) as Pygar the blind angel and Milo O'Shea as Durand Durand, this movie rocked my world when saw it as a young adult.
And through the grapevine, I have read about hints of a remake. I don't know if the viewing public is ready for that, but they better shape up fast because I want to see the remake if they make one!
You will simply have to trust me that you should rent this if you like classic science fiction, Jane Fonda, movies like Heavy Metal, The Fifth Element and the original Superman, or all of the above.

A Movie That Will Never Fade


BAREFOOT IN THE PARK:

This movie is the essence of a 'feel good movie'. It has romance, it has humor, it even has a little action here and there, although nothing gets blown up or demolished, and most importantly; it will never get old.
What's more, this movie is honest. Honesty plays a big part in my movie selections for the simple reason that if a movie cannot be honest about aspects of life that are indeed fit for the screen, then a movie has no reason to be honest with anything else. Without honesty, all genres would eventually require leaps of faith to watch. There would be no grounding anymore.
Moving back to the film, this movie is the chronicle of two young people, played by Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, newlywed and beginning a new portion of their lives. What follows is not so straight forward. Life isn't what they expected; it has surprises that neither of the them could have predicted; like having to sleep in a twin size bed together. Coupled with a varied and hilarious community of supporting actors and actresses, this movie presents a close perception of what love could truly mean between two people, and that in itself brings hope to its viewers.
