Gammera the Invincible (1966)
A Pepsi and Popcorn Movie
I purchased "Gammera the Invincible" at Suncoast Videos for $5.99 plus tax. It was on the sale rack, and I was honestly shocked because I think this movie is a gem to own for those who love monster movies. It's one of those flicks that you watch late at night, with a 2-liter of Pepsi and a bowl of popcorn. Better still, this is the kind of movie you watch on a lazy day after Thanksgiving, with a Turkey sandwich and a Coke.
Anyone looking for serious things from this movie is going to be disappointed. These kind of movies as best enjoyed with an open mind. The special effects for the year this flick was made are actually very decent.
From Russia with Love (1963)
From Russia With Love-A Credible Bond Film
From Russia With Love is the only Bond film that can pass for a credible spy flick. It has all the classical makings of credible spy flick. Among all of the Bond films, this one is the most cerebral. There are no fancy gadgets. The field briefcase in the film could actually be real spy equipment. No laser ray wristwatches.
My favorite Bond movie used to be Goldfinger, then it changed to Thunderball, but the more I watch From Russia With Love, the more I appreciate the simplicity by which it was filmed. I also think that FROWL is the best acting that Sean Connery did of any of his Bond appearances.
