My Thoughts:
This is one I enjoyed very much. I thought the whole story was well done. It is one that kept my interest from the beginning to the end. I also really liked the look they gave Gill-Man... and enjoyed the underwater scenes quite a bit. I was just recently given Creature from the Black Lagoon: The Legacy Collection... and I must say I am not disappointed in the least. The quality is very good (at least on my standard 24in. TV)... and there is a nice selection of extras. This is my third time watching this movie... but I never seen any of the sequels so I am thrilled I finally have this legacy collection release.

Bubba Ho-tep, a review by Rich

I've reached the Middle East   



Based on the Bram Stoker Award nominee short story by cult author Joe R. Lansdale, Bubba Ho-tep tells the "true" story of what really did become of Elvis Presley. We find Elvis (Bruce Campbell) as an elderly resident in an East Texas rest home, who switched identities with an Elvis impersonator years before his "death", then missed his chance to switch back. Elvis teams up with Jack (Ossie Davis), a fellow nursing home resident who thinks that he is actually President John F. Kennedy, and the two valiant old codgers sally forth to battle an evil Egyptian entity who has chosen their long-term care facility as his happy hunting grounds.

I don't really know what to say about this film     In places it was bloody hilarious, at other times ponderous. A dyed black JFK, toilet and erection humour, and satirical undertones, try to punch this low-budget horror in to an additional comedy genre. For a film it is a totally ridiculous idea but seems to work okay. A real 50/50 call, but I think people should watch it and I'd love to hear what they thought of this film. 5/10

This is a series which I had enjoyed watching but it kind of fizzled out during the third season which I still haven't finished watching.
The first episode is good but nothing really laugh out loud funny.
