Big Man Japan (2007)

So, I tend to watch a lot of strange films (anyone that knows me can attest to this), so I’m always up for anything that’s not mainstream, or that just comes off as odd. That said, watching Big Man Japan was quite an experience. It goes from a documentary to a giant monster movie in the vein of Godzilla and then switches gears, and somewhere along the line becomes a parody of Power Rangers (or at least I hope that’s what it was). Big Man Japan is quite a ride, but I can see how many people might not dig it.

Barbarella (1968)

I’d love to know what director, Roger Vadim, was thinking when he directed the 1968 cult-classic, Barbarella. Were there drugs involved? Was it made as a vehicle for his ‘then-lover’ Jane Fonda? Were the comic books just as cheesy? I watched Barbarella with no expectations, and lucky for me, every last one of them was met. What I got was probably the silliest outer space flick I’ve ever seen, and it came with a heavy dose of hotness and a smidgen of partial nudity.
