Vampire in Vegas (2009)

A Big Wast of One Hour and a Half ...

[1/10 · 4 December 2009]

This must be the worst movie this year, 2009, but what had I really expected from a director like Jim Wynorski? Take only The Pandora Project [ 1998 ] as a deterrent example.

That producers give Jim Wynorski money to direct films is for me a mystery. But what can you expect from producers as Bryan Sexton and Julie K. Smith?

Isn't Julie K. Smith a former scream queen, slash soft porn star? Now crap movie producer?

In the epilogue you can see a lot of interesting facts, that the associate producer Steve Goldenberg also are Best Boy and Rigging Gaffer, and that associate producer Rob Sanchez, who played the Security Guard number 2, also work as the movie sets gaffer.

Who payed for this?

The Pandora Project (1998)

Just a Plain Crappy Flick ...

[1/10 · 4 December 2009]

A silly movie. Thirty minutes into the movie the B-actor Daniel Baldwin borrows an old car with a platform somewhere in Latin America, and after three minutes the engine starts hacking. Daniel Baldwin plays a top CIA agent, but he tries to solve the problem by radically shake the steering wheel. Suddenly the engine stopped, of course, and Daniel Baldwin discovers after a few moments that fuel gauge showing empty tank. Has Daniel Baldwin as a top-trained CIA agent never understand that a gasoline engine requires gas to operate? As usual in these crap movies by action fiction the good character has his chance to shoot the villain in the penultimate scene, but fail to make them stand and talk old memories for a while. Villain Richard Tyson manage to escape but he is of course killed by Daniel Baldwin in the so-called violent final scene.

Daniel Baldwin looks like Alec Baldwin but played even worse. Erika Eleniak and Tony Todd playing in there sleep. The only one that performs more than what the script requires is Richard Tyson who played the defected CIA agent William Stenwick.

That producers give Jim Wynorski money to direct films is for me a mystery. Take only Vampire in Vegas [2009] as a deterrent example.
