Wow, well maybe the other Santa Claus movie with MST or Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny (This movie is so bad that it's basically an avant-garde art house film without even trying to be) with Rifftrax would turn out better?

It's bad and boring if you suffer through it without MST3K, the episode with this is one of my favorites.

I know I've seen that. That's about the only thing I do remember about this film. Just that I've seen it. I usually can recall a few key things/scenes about any movie I've seen even going back years. There are a few exceptions and this is one of them.

 This movie has a cult following among certain kinds of movie nerds because it's supposed to be one of those "so bad it's good" movies, like "Plan 9 From Outer Space". It isn't. It's just bad. Bad and boring, and a total waste of time.

 As expected, not a patch on Hitchcock's version. Generally lacking in the same psychological tension and near gothic horror atmosphere. I know there's some truth to saying that you can't beat the classics, but a part of me thinks that with all the modern advances in filmmaking and acting techniques a film like this should improve upon an 80 year old original, not seem a poor imitation of it.

 This was brilliant. I read a couple of Leslie Thomas' Virgin Soldier books many years ago (when I was still at high school!), and this film does justice to Thomas' tragi-comic style. Hywel Bennett makes a great Brigg. An added highlight was the discovery of a young Geoffrey Hughes (Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances, Twiggy from The Royle Family) playing Lantry.  |

James Bond vs James T. Kirk #13
 I can see why George Lazenby didn't last. He's a perfectly adequate Bond, but Bond needs to be more than that. Some brilliantly silly chases and fights to distract from Lazenby's adequacy. Diana Rigg and Telly Savalas were wasted by being given sub-par characters to play. And who the fuck thought it was a good idea for Bond to get married?

You're really left wondering just who was more off their head in this one.
