So I needed some mindless diversion..."Beyond Valley Of The Dolls" fit the need.

[Rabblevox]

This movie, a shameless exploitation film by Russ Meyers from 1970 hits all the right notes. It's got evil queers, cute dykes, the horrors of drugs and music and sex and violence. Shit, it just doesn't get much better.

1. Isn't that the one Roger Ebert wrote?

Or do I have it confused with another movie?

[Rabblevox]

4. Yes, Roger Ebert wrote this (I didn't know until the credits)...

That might explain why for a trashy exploitation film, it's actually kinda smart.

2. You need this!

And to answer the other question...yes, BTVOTD was written by Roger Ebert.

Rabblevox: you definitely need this pile o' mindless diversion. 32 trashy movies for only $14.99! Can't beat that. I have this collection. And I'm savoring it as I would a collection of fine vintage wines, watching one or two occasionally.

3. Oh hellz yeah! My next unemployment check, I''m on that one!, and could I recc this?...

these are of the "so bad they're wonderful" variety. Just the 1st one (Horror Of Spider Island) is worth the price. Studs with guns, babes in bikinis, motion-captured monsters, and incredibly bad voice-overs!

What's not to love?
