There are a lot of Czech fairy tale movie which were also quite popular in Germany. I have reviewed a few before. This one is a much more faithful adaption of "Little Mermaid" than the Disney version, including the tragic ending. But I didn't enjoy this movie. It was very boring for me. It took about 40 minutes until the mermaid finally met the prince (about half of the total runtime). And even after that it was painful to watch. Mostly because of the horrible German dub I assume. Maybe it would have been better to hear more natural voices. But sadly this DVD release does not have the original Czech audio track.

Just for the hell of it/The blast-off girls, a review by Jimmy

Sorry if this one takes more time than usual, but for this experience I need to have almost 4 hours of free time. You probably ask yourself what I'm talking about. This is what is call a drive-in experience and what is this : 2 movies, a lot of trailers, intermission short and drive-in announcement. For this one I will make it differently, I hope that you will appreciate.


It's saturday night and what's better than going to our local drive-in (a lot more, but we are in the year 1968). After a look of what play tonight we decide to go see the new Hershell Gordon Lewis movie and the second feature is one of his other movie from last year.

Our program for tonight


We arrive at seven o'clock, a little bit soon but we have to find a good place to park the car. We are not the first here, but the place is good. So we install the speakers on the car and we wait (I'm with my girlfriend, so use your imagination).

Finally it start, it was about time the clients were starting to be impatients. No, we have seven minutes of publicity to listen. This is for the refreshment stand and this make me hungry. Gaze at hot dog, hamburger, fries, chilly dilly (a big pickle ) and Italian meatball sandwich for seven minutes have this effect on me. So after my visit at the concession stand I'm 5$ short (don't forget we are in 68). I came with this too, it looks like something fun to play with



Not ready yet, we have to watch the trailers. This is what will come in the next week at the drive-in...

Just for the hell of it (This is the one that we will see tonight)

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

Star Trek: The Animated Series
Season 1.02 Yesteryear
Writer: Gene Roddenberry (Original Characters By), D. C. Fontana (Writer)
Director: Hal Sutherland
Cast: William Shatner (Capt. Kirk), Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock), DeForest Kelley (Dr. McCoy), George Takei (Mr. Sulu), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), Majel Barrett (Nurse Chapel), James Doohan (Scotty)

I can't believe it has been a year already since I left off this marathon.
It is time now to watch the time-travel episodes of the animated series. This episode is probably one of the more famous ones from the animated series. In it time is changed and Spock doesn't exist anymore. He has to travel back in time and save himself as child from death. It is a rather good episode.
