These are reviews that I put very little time and effort into, but I wanted to get my views on these episodes out. There are probably a poopie load of grammatical errors (even more than my regular reviews).
405- Being from Another Planet The movie is about an alien mummy that comes back to life in 1981. This movie is filled with so many plot holes, Joe Don Baker could slip right through. Why does the alien go back to it's orignal form after being mummified? How does it come back to life again? Why did Ben Murphy want to go up in it? Why was the alien here? How did it die? Just so many plot holes, but for some reason the movie keeps me entertained, because it's mildly interesting, because it puts so much on the table (although that's why it has so many plot holes). Overall the episode is average on first viewing. Typical season four as the episode has a lot of esoteric comments. But it's a pretty good way to spend two hours. The invention exchange is exceptionally excellent. So overall, I'll give it **1/2, for the first viewing.
NEXT TIME, 305- The Stranger

Ah, now these are the kinds of reviews I like reading; they're short and to the point. Sort of like Maltin summaries, only they serve a purpose.

110- Robot Holocaust
This was both a great and bad episode. Great for what the MST3K gang did, but damn they could have done so much more. There was a sequence about Amazonian women who mate with their men, and they could have done much better riffing (I was thinking back to the Violent Years, and that episode of Futurama). There was a terrible comic relief robot, C3PO ripoff, that they didn't really address as annoying until the end credits, which in later season would have been torn a new a-hole. The riffing on the speech impedimented Valeria was okay, but nothing really clever. The end credits needed better riffing as they just sort of talked, then paused, and left the theater about a minute early. Way too many pauses. Honestly, this episode was both great and the biggest letdown. If MST3K EVER comes back this is the movie they should do. My rating would be probably *** on the laugh level, but I have to down grade it half a star for too many missed riffs.
Funniest line "In the future all robots will be like Don Knots"
On a side note, I don't know how to describe I feel about the movie, but it's a feeling that made me want to say something. It's such a weird special movie like Manos in that nothing is like it at all. Sure there have been other Mad Max ripoffs, but what I mean is this is the only movie with Valeria in it, this is the only movie with these stable of actors. I mean when you get a Bruno Vesota, he's everywhere in movies (I know there's a fat joke in there). Hal P. Warren will only be in one movie. Angelika Jagger (Valeria) will only be in one movie. It's just sort of a weird feeling, I get, almost deprssing that this is it, nothing else to ridicule them on. But then again, I'm one weird mamajamma.
What's the deal with Valeria being a robot?
What exactly was the Dark One? A robot? A computer? Another Avacado Man?
Is there any chance for Robot Holocaust 2? Come another there is another whole movie of crap!
