Not the best movie I've ever seen.......2000-05-05

I found the movie hard to follow and it didnt have the greatest plot. I wouldnt pay $10 for it.

Excellent film; visually stunning and great acting, story........2000-01-05

This film (theatrical release 1988, video release date April 1999) will prove to be a favorite of Jeff Fahey fans, and general movie-goers alike. It was filmed in Australia, and is visually stunning. Story revolves around a teenage girl's life and the people and situations she encounters in turn of the century Australia. Her character, Alice May Richards (played by Tushka Bergen) grows up on a horse ranch; has to deal with the farm going bankrupt, her father's death, getting shipped off to the city away from the life and horses she loves. Meanwhile she meets Ben Creed (Jeff Fahey) a dashing, hardworking broker, who falls for her, but her attentions are focused on a macho and less interesting horseman on her ranch...I won't spoil it for you, but this movie is highly interesting for character development and the twists and turns of the plot. This was probably a huge hit in Australia...I have purchased this video a total of seven times for gifts since I originally viewed it in June of 1999. Excellent choice for young girls who are horse lovers...and a very excellent effort by Jeff Fahey as well. Again, the visual aspects of the beautiful countryside, the horses, characters costumed perfectly in turn of the century clothing, and great plot and all round acting makes this film a real winner! Enjoy! (Note: no nudity, or situations unsuitable for a G audience!) A real GEM!

Description

Robert Altman presents teen angst with a twist. Based on characters from National Lampoon Magazine, O.C. and Stiggs aren't your average unhappy teenagers. They not only despise their suburban surroundings, they plot against it. They seek revenge against the middle class Schwab family, who embody all they detest: middle class. In a film armed with vicious satire and hilarious surprises, suburbia will never be the same.

Poor transfer, weak movie.......2007-08-09

It's a little shocking to see that studios are still releasing non-anamorphic transfers of widescreen movies this late in the game. But I suppose with this movie, it was non-anamorphic or nothing at all, since this doesn't seem like a DVD that's likely to sell millions of copies. I assume that the transfer comes from an earlier laserdisc version or something.

At any rate, it's nice to be able to see Altman's full widescreen images, even in a poor transfer, but the truth is that this is probably his worst movie. He takes the unredeemable sociopathic dirtbags from the original National Lampoon stories and tries to transform them into the suburban 80s version of Hawkeye and Trapper John. The original O.C. & Stiggs didn't care whether Schwab had cancelled someone's insurance unfairly; they just hated him because he had a funny name.

The transformation of O.C. & Stiggs into "heroes" severely waters-down the original stories, whereas the weakness of the original material gives Altman virtually nothing to work with. We're left with a sorry mish-mash of aborted social commentary and truly awful attempts at "zany" humor (e.g. "boing" sound effects whenever someone gets stuck by a cactus, or the musical spoof of the "Pink Panther Theme" when the boys are sneaking into Schwab's back yard).

This gets one extra star because even the worst of Altman's work is worth a look to fans, but this is truly one of the most misbegotten movies that director ever made.

Fun Unknown Altman.......2007-01-10

Mostly unknown Altman that is a whole lot of fun, featuring a great Dennis Hopper working off of his Apocalypse Now character.

Altman was brave, and never got the credit........2007-01-10

This is a freakin' funny film. If you have even half a sense of humor, see it.

I will leave it to the critics to comment on the film itself........2006-03-13

All I want to say is that I can barely believe that no one has
commented on the atrocious transfer on the DVD. It looks like
a bad video on a TV screen glimpsed through a dirty window. It
is not even "barely watchable" - it is utterly unwatchable.

This may not be one of Altman's best, but surely it deserves
better treatment than this, if only for those of us who want
to be able to view this auteur's complete body of work. Whoever
produced this DVD ought to be ashamed of themselves.

I have bought both the US and UK disks in the hope that one
of them might be better than the other. No such luck - they
are both the same crappy junk. Money down the drain.

We've been had. And the thought of somebody actually making
money off selling this inferior product is distressing.

Repeat Viewings Bring Out the Brilliance.......2006-01-14

O.C. and Stiggs is a pure gem. The other reviews give you background, but what needs to be emphasized is that this film is filled with Robert Altman's special layered dialogue. O.C. and Stiggs can be watched a dozen times and still the viewer will notice some little tidbit of cleverness that wasn't obvious the first time. Do yourself a favor and buy this film so you can watch it again whenever the mood strikes you.

Careers falling.......2006-05-01

The story is a bit thin. Audie England's character (Eve) escapes from some kind of prison - the kind where the prison keepers don't even know who they're keeping, and the kind with a high-tech alarm system with more holes than a Swiss cheese. Even with that kind of start, the strain on one's credulity just keeps getting worse as the movie rolls on.

The biggest attraction may be in the moments when Audie appears wearing only Audie - and I have to say she wears it well. Those scenes are much too brief to make up for the weaknesses elsewhere in the movie, though. I wouldn't run if I saw this movie being shown again, but I probably wouldn't pay much attention, either.

Poor plot, poor acting, poor FX.......2005-08-11

Venus Rising is a thriller set in the near future, where an island prison has been abandoned by the authorities and the inmates left to starve. Years later, three inmates make an escape from the island and find themselves on Pacifica, an island paradise where bored rich people find stimulation in virtual reality. Murder and identity switching ensue, as the authorities hunt for the escapees.
This movie basically steals plot elements from Wild Palms and Strange Days and does a worse job than either of those two movies. For a start, the acting is weak, with a bunch of third tier talent like Billy Wirth and Costas Mandylor. Morgan Fairchild serves no purpose in this movie. The only actor with some salt was Audie England, whose only other roles seem to be in Zalman King type erotica.
This movie also obviously had a lousy budget. Even the scenes where they are meant to be entering virtual reality are hokey.

Venus Rising.......2005-07-28

This film was a waste of time. I skimmed through looking for someone I was led to believe played in it, but did not!
I'd give it 0 stars if I could. The acting was pitiful, at best.

dissapointing........2005-07-17

All i have to say is this movie was not very good period and even having Jessica Alba in it doesn't help as she's in the movie for like one scene that lasts maybe 2minutes. I'd pass on this movie.

You can't go wrong with Jessica Alba.......2000-11-08

To some this movie will not appeal. Some might even go as far to say that it is completely beyond redemption because of its views of the future and its terrible plot line. But I say its got one huge redeming quality and that is Jessica Alba.

could have seen better on TV.......2005-12-30

This movie is trying to show how little April, and her younger sister May (I'm not making up those names) turned to a life of crime; well, April at least.
When they were little girls they had a drug fiend for a mother. Some worthless guy she shaked up with sold both girls for 5000 dollars, and she cound stop him. Their mother tried to stop him and he killed her. (Unrealistic)
May goes to a nice family in England and has a good life; her sister April (who started out hispanic) gets brought up by a US biker gang (also unrealistic).
They kill the man who killed their mother and May gets caught and goes to prison (never seen a prison like that)

I was mislead!! The reviews said there was lesbian sex (NO); it also said that a lesbian warden granted her special favors for her doing stuff with her. I never saw that.
The only thing that makes this an R movie is because there's brief frontal nudity, and foul laungage.
TV could quickly edit that out and this would make another LAME sunday movie.

NOT erotic! I was very disappointed! .......2004-12-04

For a women-in-prison film to be any good it's GOT to have at least ONE of the ESSENTIAL scenes listed below:

1) A kinky lesbian female warden preying upon her pretty young female inmates.

2) An evil, decadent lesbian guard turning pretty female inmates into her sexual playthings.

3) Tough, dominant female inmates having sex with the pretty new female inmates.

4) An obligatory lesbian shower scene.

This flick has NONE OF THE ABOVE!!! It's NOT EROTIC! Yes, there's some nudity. Yes, the casting is excellent. But NO, the eroticism DOESN'T EXIST! Instead there's some fist-fighting, shooting, and stabbing. Not erotic. Why did they make a women-in-prison film with no girl-girl stuff? What is their problem?

There's a moment late in this video when innocent pretty blonde May (Gail Harris) beats up evil dykey Manny (Jenna Bodner), but then declines to finish her off, telling her: "You're not worth it you piece of sh*t!" Well, that's exactly how I felt about this video after watching it. Exactly.

Erotica behind bars.......2004-09-04

I admit it: the primary domain of this movie lies within the category of male fantasy. Yes, there is an actual & real-live plot, but there is no question as to whom the "target-audience" of this film is intended to be.

The film details two sisters who are "sold" off by their useless father. Their names are April & May (not sure if that's supposed to be funny or not?). May ends up in England and is raised by a cultered & nurturing family. Sadly, April is sent to an abusive home and ends up in an outlaw biker gang.

[I stress that this PARTICULAR biker gang is full of renegades as, obviously, calling all biker gangs outlaws is an absurd and unwarranted stereotype].

Back to the story. About 16 years after being separated, April tracks down May (both are now in their early 20s) and the two re-unite in California. Unfortunately, April makes the less than wise decision of killing their father out of revenge, and May gets pinned with the blame.

For a "B" movie, the plot of this film is pretty decent. Not Academy Award calibre to be sure, but decent. More importantly, the film delivers on its tacit promise of plenty of nudity of several women. Except for a handful of extras, basically every attractive woman in the film takes her clothes off at least once.

On the downside, some of the acting is pretty pathetic. Also, the action scenes are dismal and certainly don't have anything on Jet Li movies. There are also some holes in the plot, such as April being depicted as a Hispanic as a little girl, but miraculously turning into a blonde years later.

In the end, however, if babes in prison is your thing, then you're certain to be satisfied by this flick. Gail Harris is stunning as May, and she even does a credible acting job. Not sure if this is the type of film she would WANT to put on her resume, but I wouldn't mind seeing her in more flicks.

Pretty awful.......2001-04-13

I'm sorry, but I thought this movie was pretty awful. In my opinion the only reason to see it is to see Annie Wood (of Bzzz! fame) topless.

Cool looking prison flick.......2000-01-27

It's like a life action pulp fiction cover. Girls in jail, cat fights and lot's of action. Prison has never looked this good.

Description

In the name of profits, the tomb is opened. In the name of vengeance, the curse springs alive. From ancient ashes and mummified wrappings a mysterious being arises and becomes flesh. "I am the protector of the dead," he intones. But he will do more than play Grim Reaper to mortals who defy the tomb's sanctity. He wants to reclaim the woman he loves. Past and present converge with terrifying results in this gripping tale inspired by horror master Edgar Allan Poe's Some Words with a Mummy. Tony Curtis plays Dr. Mohassid, a reincarnated soul whose undying love has deadly consequences. Since his arrival, venemous serpents writhe, phantoms stalk and a certain young woman's nightmares erupt into even more frightful days. The tomb is open. Enter at your own risk!

Customer Reviews:

Worth a look at dicount prices.......2005-12-03

Certainly not one of Tony's best efforts. Much of the script is laughable, but the story line is better than comparable low budget films from this period.

You know the plot. Ancient Egyptian Princess and Priest fall in love, break the rules, get burried alive only to be resurected when archeologists find the un-marked tomb. Like the original Karlof, this mummy looks pretty much normal once the bandages come off.

I can't give this one more than 2 stars, but it still has a spot in my movie cabinet!
