An okay movie with some nice ideas, but overall rather boring. I think this movie was made before Kristin Kreuk was cast in Smallville. Strange that she seems to be cast in roles which typically doesn't fit her look. Lana Lang was supposed to be a redhead. I didn't mind the change though. And Snow White is supposed to have very white skin. They had to use a lot of make-up here to achieve this effect. Her hair is the perfect fit for the role though.
Fun was the casting of Vincent Schiavelli as one of the dwarfs. He sticks out like a sore thumb, which of course was the joke.

My Brother's Wife, a review by Jimmy

Title : My Brother's Wife (1966)

Overview
Doris Wishman's ode to love, lust, and marital non-bliss, in which sweet little Mary falls in love with Frankie, the slimeball brother of her dull hubby Bob. But when Frankie suggests Mary get money so they can run away together, he neglects to mention his 'other' girlfriend, the marvelously sleazy Zena...

My Impression
Typical sixties New York sexploitation... Always a lot of fun to watch, since it's the first genre I've fell in love with because of the dvd. Of course those films aren't shocking anymore (they were popular more than 40 years ago) but at the time they were. Evidently like many of them this movie was filmed without sound and dub later in studio (kind of evident since the lip movement doesn't fit... but it's even more evident when we hear Darlene Bennett without her Brooklyn accent). The story isn't too much complicated (the end is easy to guess) and we sure see the actresses often in black lingeries.

I like those movies. You can turn your brain off and see what was scandalous when your father was a young adult...

The Flash Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

My Thoughts:
Brittany watched this episode with me... which means there was no skipping past the theme. Though any other time I do. Thankfully this set has the next chapter right after the opening theme. Britt and I both agree... Julio... for a scientist he is pretty dumb. In  several episodes he sees something that should make it easy for him to figure out Barry is The Flash. And this happens four (Yes Four!) times in this episode alone. I can't remember for anything in the world if Julio ever finds out the truth about Barry or not. But over all this is a good episode. It has an interesting story with a few laughs.
