The Terrornauts * (1967, Simon Oates, Zena Marshall, Charles Hawtrey, Patricia Hayes, Stanley Meadows, Max Adrian) – Classic Movie Review 4408

Director Montgomery Tully’s insipid 1967 science fiction film The Terrornauts for Amicus Productions was released with They Came from Beyond Space in a flop double bill famously comprising ‘the two worst films the company ever produced’. Zena Marshall stars as Sandy […]

Dr Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine * (1965, Vincent Price, Frankie Avalon, Dwayne Hickman, Fred Clark, Susan Hart) – Classic Movie Review 4225

This ridiculous Sixties parody sci-fi comedy wastes Vincent Price, who shows his always eager-to-please good nature in his readiness to appear in absolutely anything. Price relishes hugely over-playing the mad doctor Goldfoot, who makes girlie robots […]

The fondly remembered Irwin Allen 1965-68 family sci-fi TV series lives again in director Stephen Hopkins’s daft but likeable mega-budget ($90million) 1998 big-screen re-creation. A cast of actors rather than stars take the parts of the […]

Ratchet and Clank ** (2016, voices of James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, Jim Ward, Paul Giamatti) – Movie Review

Ready to kick some asteroid? Directors Kevin Munroe and Jericca Cleland’s animated sci-fi video game adaptation is packed full of fast paced action and sarcastic one-liners. But, though it has plenty of energy and is likeable enough, it […]
