Animal Protector, a review by GSyren


TitleAnimal Protector (7-393608-570208)
DirectorMats Helge, Anders Nilsson
Actors
Produced1988 in Sweden
Runtime97 minutes
AudioEnglish Dolby Digital 5.1, English Dolby Digital 2-Channel Stereo
SubtitlesSwedish
OverviewA group of animal rights activists get wind of an island where terrible experiments on animals are made in hope of developing new biological weapons. They go there with the mission of freeing the animals, but all does not go accordingto plan, and soon they realize that they may be the only ones that can stop a world wide disaster.
My thoughtsAnimal Protector really interested in Swedish B-movies, or you are a die hard fan of David Carradine, there is very little reason to watch this film. And I strongly suspect that the same goes for the other two Mats Helge / David Carradine movies (The Mad Bunch and Fatal Secret). I doubt that any of them are available outside of Sweden anyway.

Road to Singapore, a review by Danae Cassandra




Road to Singapore
Year of Release: 1940
Directed By: Victor Schertzinger
Starring: Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Musical

Overview:Road to SingaporeSingapore was the initial entry in the legendary Hope-Crosby-Lamour Road series that delighted movie goers for over 20 fun-filled years.

My Thoughts:
This is a fun bit of funny, escapist fluff.  Our heroes, two chaps looking for nothing but good times, run away from marriage, work and high society to live as island bums.  There they meet a girl who just might make them change their bachelor ways, if only she didn't make them both feel that way.  The jokes are funny, and Crosby and Hope have great chemistry together and their banter is clever.  Lamour works well with both of them, and is probably about as believably exotic as they were going to cast in 1940.  It feels like there are a lot of songs for the short runtime, but other than that, no complaints.  If you're looking for an amusing little film, and you like old movies, Bing Crosby and/or Bob Hope, this isn't a bad choice.

Bechdel Test: Fail

Overall: 3/5
