Good start, but then it gets ruined
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
View MoreAttack of the 60 Foot Centerfolds (1995) ** (out of 4) Decent take-off on ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN from cult director Fred Olen Ray. This time out centerfold Angel Grace (J.J. North) decides to take a special potion hoping that it will give her the edge over two other woman as they are trying to win Playmate of the Year. The potion certainly gives her a boost as it turns her into the title character. With a title like this and knowing that it's coming from Fred Olen Ray, one really shouldn't be expecting any sort of classic but if you're just wanting some cheap laughs and plenty of breasts then this here is just for you. I was really surprised to see that the movie's actually a lot better than one might expect. I thought there were some fun performances, the director keeps things moving fairly well and even the special effects are good. Again, we're not talking "classic" level here but for a "B" movie this isn't too bad. I thought North was extremely cute in the lead role and of course her willingness to get nude was a major plus. The supporting cast includes Russ Tamblyn, Tommy Kirk, Michelle Bauer as well as a cameo from Forrest J. Ackerman and SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE II favorite Peter Spellos. There's obviously not much of a "story" to talk about but instead of story there's just pretty much non-stop nudity with the three centerfolds constantly getting naked, which is the main reason for this movie to exist. It's worth noting that with a film like this you're wanting "giant" nudity and it is here. I was surprised at how well done the special effects were. They're not Oscar-worthy but they're certainly much better than what we see in ATTACK FOK THE 50FT WOMAN. At just 84-minutes the film goes by at a pretty good pace so fans of this type of stuff should at least be mildly entertained.
View MoreI and my friends have watched this several times. Its amusing with a couple vodka tonics and good friends. Additionally, it has JJ North and Tammy Parks. I would watch either one of the read the phone book. Sadly, JJ is out of the biz now, which really is sad since she had potential that went beyond just her natural good looks. However, the days of b-movie actresses rising above a steady diet of bad films are over. Rene Zellweger may have been the last. Who would have guess that one of the stars of Chicago started out in Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.In anycase, its fun and the women are gorgeous. Come back JJ.Where are you Kristine Debell?
View MoreFor a Roger Corman-produced film it was strangely tit(literally)illating. Sexy, involving, acting so bad it was nearly a comedy (Look for the man in a rat suit). If you like it, see the feminist "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" remake with Daryl Hannah as the woman with the giant breasts.
View MoreThis one leaves us with the age old question: which was worse the plot or the acting? Well, actually it was probably the directing or the editing. The highlight of this exercise in absurdity is the cameo appearances of Disney's Tommy Kirk, Stanley (My 3 Sons) Livingston, and Russ Tamblyn (who also was unfortunate enough to cameo in 'Cabin Boy').
