    Visit the ‘Planet of the Rapes’ with Captain Mother and her sultry crew of sadistic lesbians in this campy ‘peek into the year 2069.

    A man is in bed reading Sci-Fi mags, and his wife seduces him. He then falls asleep, and the rest is his dream.
    He is from an alternate world, and disguises himself as an alien, then boards their ship, to keep them from attacking his planet.
    The captain is a woman, who has two lesbian encounters with her crew, and whips one of them for trying to have sex with our hero.
    All of the women are anxious to seduce our hero, as the other two men on the ship are not very exciting.
    Our hero forces a landing on an asteroid (actually the outskirts of Palmdale, California) and everyone runs around topless and has sex. He then blows up the alien ship in the worst special effects explosion.Read More »

  • Jean-Luc Godard – Alphaville, une étrange aventure de Lemmy Caution AKA Alphaville, a Strange Adventure of Lemmy Caution (1965)

    1961-1970FranceJean-Luc GodardMysterySci-Fi

    29f7c043f76a2bde437fd0d52a185152

    Quote:
    Jean-Luc Godard, the unabashed enfant terrible of French cinema, creates a lighthearted, bizarre and atmospheric utopia in Alphaville. Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine), an Outland agent, checks into an Alphaville hotel as Ivan Johnson, a reporter from Figaro-Pravda (the first of many unusual alliances). The hotel manager assigns him a room, a Seductress and a bottle of tranquilizers for the evening. A disembodied voice, the synthetic voice of the ubiquitous Alpha 60 supercomputer, announces room availability and incoming telephone calls, and monitors every inhabitant’s behavior. Refusing the services of the ever-obliging Seductress, he briefly struggles with an unknown assailant, but is eventually left alone to study his mission: to locate a missing agent named Henry Dickson (Akim Tamiroff), and the elusive Professor Vonbraun (Howard Vernon), creator of Alpha 60. He arranges a meeting with Natascha Vonbraun (Anna Karina), who knows nothing of her father, and enlists her as his guide through the logically crafted nightmare of Alphaville.Read More »

  • Konstantin Lopushansky – Pisma myortvogo cheloveka AKA Letters from a Dead Man (1986)

    1981-1990ArthouseKonstantin LopushanskySci-FiUSSR

    Quote:
    Letters from a Dead Man is another film that deals with the theme of the nuclear nightmare. It falls into a mini-genre of nuclear holocaust film along with others such as On the Beach (1959), Dr Strangelove or, How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), Fail-Safe (1964), The War Game (1965) et al. But what makes Letters from a Dead Man unique in this case is that the treatment is one that comes from the opposite side of the Iron Curtain. Every single other treatment of the nuclear holocaust theme was made in the West and comes based on the speculation (or at least implication) of what would happen if the bombs falling were coming from the Soviet side; this is one which shows everything from the other perspective. In both cases though, the films are almost identical in their treatment of the subject matter and are certainly agreed upon what an horrific experience the nuclear holocaust would be.Read More »

    Quote:
    “The Bad Batch” turns a completely ridiculous premise — dystopian warfare in a sun-bleached desert filled with cannibals, a raving cult leader, desperate thieves and LSD — into a warm, at times even elegant salute to the transformative power of companionship. This should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with writer-director Ana Lily Amirpour’s sleek debut “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night,” another creepy premise given fresh life. With “The Bad Batch,” Amirpour pairs elements of “Mad Max” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” with western flavor for another beguiling ride. The scale has expanded and there are a few more recognizable faces this time around, but nothing about the movie’s inspired wackiness bears the whiff of compromise.Read More »
