This one on the other hand I didn't care for at all. They didn't succeed in making me care about the characters in the least and the story was extremely slow and weird. I found myself struggling to get through this film. I almost got up and walked away from this one on a few occassions. They only thing that stopped me was the fact that my injured knee was bothering me and I didn't want to go through the physical pain of getting up.

Faster Pussycat...Kill! Kill!, a review by Jimmy

Title: Faster Pussycat...Kill! Kill! (1965)

Genre: Action
Director: Russ Meyer
Rating: 18 (British dvd)
Length: 1h23
Video: Full Frame (it's the original theatrical ratio)
Audio: English
Subtitles: None

Stars:
Tura Satana
Haji   
Lori Williams
Sue Bernard
Stuart Lancaster

Plot:
Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill! is the story of a new breed of superwomen...three buxom go-go girls: Varla, Rosie, and Billie, wildly dancing the watusi before the leers jeers and lecherous come-ons of their drooling all-male audience. The violence, implicit in the girls' tease, is quickly moved out of the microcosmic bar into the outside world as they literally let go of themselves, embarking on a wild, violent, deadly journey of vengeance on all men. Varla, the outrageously abundant karate master leader of the pack, breaks the arms and back of one man, runs her Porsche over two others, grinds a fourth, a muscleman, against a wall and, eventually, deliberately goes down the path of her own self-destruction, dragging her two buxotic cohorts along with her.

This is probably the most known of the Russ Meyer's movies, not my favorite personally (Vixen and Good Morning... and Goodbye! are) but this is a great film anyway. As you can understand from the synopsis this is a girl power movie and in 1965 that was not something common. Those girls are sure tough and can defend themselves (Tura Satana beat the crap of all the men in this film with her bare hand, she really does the fight herself and those fight are great) and are sure good looking also (ok not really miss Satana), by the way Haji is French Canadian so it's a natural (common after the Asian, our women are the most beautifull one in the world). Surprisingly for a Russ Meyer's film there are no nudity in this film at all, but I don't feel it was necessary for this movie since it's about how those girls can kick ass. The acting without being great is corect, but the bad italian accent that Haji use sure make her lines very hard to understand for me

Maybe the fact it's a black and white film will make some people run from it, but let me tell you one thing : If you do this you will miss one of the best drive-in movie ever made.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

17. REAPER
Angel of mercy or death? After a Kryptonite-related incident gives a young man the ability to kill via mere touch, he sets out to use his newfound power on people who are gravely ill.

My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. enjoyed every minute of it. Though I do feel the ending left some to be desired. I just didn't care for how the Freak of the Week was stopped.

18. DRONE
running on the platform of "truth, justice and... other stuff," Clark vias for class president. But a beekeeping rival contender vows Clark and the other aspirants will feel the sting of her candidacy.

My Thoughts:
Another good episode but nothing really in it that I would call special. Just a good 45min of Smallville entertainment.

19. CRUSH
After a hit-and-run accident that destroys his drawing hand, a cartoonist is left with bitterness, pain... and an unexpected gift of telekinesis that he turns into an instrument of revenge.

My Thoughts:
This is a really good episode that had a lot to do with my favorite character (Chloe). I also liked the effects of the drawing of Chloe with the telekinesis. I remember when this season originally aired I hoped to see Clark and Chloe to get together.. at least for a while.

20. OBSCURA
Lana has eerie visions involving a kidnapping of Chloe. Lex's ongoing inquiry into the mystery surrounding Clark takes an intriguing turn when a crop duster reveals what he saw fall from the sky during the Smallville Meteor shower.

My Thoughts:
Going from Chloe being emotionally hurt to her being physically in trouble. This is an excellent episode... one of my favorites of the season. This is also the first look at the metal octagon that becomes so important in the series.
