Swamp Women (1955)

 Swamp Women (1955)

This 'Swamp Women' was one of the very first films Roger Corman directed 

(he was still in his 20's around the time it got released) but it 

immediately becomes clear how he built up of the reputation of being 

the 'King of the B's'. 

This follows the adventures of the notorious "Nardo Gang", an all-female 

criminal gang. The participants (Windsor, Garland, and Mathews) escape from 

prison and head for the swamp, where they have hidden a fortune in diamonds 

among the cypresses and alligators. Along the way they kidnap Mike Connors 

and his girlfriend.

Connors' girlfriend is unfortunately served as dinner to an alligator, so 

the gang keeps Connors as their boy toy while going deeper and deeper into 

the swamp. The digging up of the diamonds and the following action is as 

campy as possible.

The attraction of this movie has to be the characters played by Garland and 

Windsor. Garland plays certainly one of the most bitchy and disagreeable female 

prison escapees ever captured on film, while Windsor's character plays the steady, 

diplomatic one, all the while lusting after Connors...who is kept tied up most 

of the time. A very interesting film, worth watching for the three leads, and for 

the outrageous story. (IMDB)

Dr. Bizarro (1983)

Dr. Bizarro (1983)

Equal parts sleaze and humor, Dr. Bizarro  is a strange entry in an already strange 

genre of films. Director Phil Prince plays a whacked-out psychologist who walks us 

through a few of his "stranger" cases, dispensing completely inappropriate advice 

to his patients...

Dr. Bizarro is definitely bizarre - mixing un-PC humor with extreme rape, incest, 

and torture scenes. Payne's performance as the pedophile father is as strong and 

scummy as ever, and Prince as the Doctor is quite funny in his obviously misguided 

diagnoses of his patients. Good stuff for the roughie fan looking for something a 

little different... (IMDB  EVOL666) NV

raped by an unseen presence. Terrified of what's happening to her,

stop it? Based on a supposedly true story. (IMDB Jean-Marc Rocher)

Elephant (2003)

 Elephant (2003)

Several ordinary high school students go through their daily routine as two others prepare for something more malevolent. 

Winner of the Golden Palm at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, Elephant is a brilliant and deeply affecting film that makes a courageous attempt to grasp the malaise of today's youth culture. Van Sant does not attempt to explain Columbine or uncover its underlying causes, and there is no revealing epiphany. His film is a highly stylized, dreamlike tone poem that defies linear conventions and is almost surreal in its approach. Using flashbacks and recurring images from different points of view, the film captures the mood and tone of its adolescent world: its perceptions, its self-absorption, and ultimately its darkest instincts.
