MY GOAL IS TO SEE 100 NEW (to me) MOVIES BY OCTOBER 24, 2008

New movies, old movies, made for TV, on dvd, on TV, in a theater... anything. I just want to increase my movie knowledge by 100 movies in 100 days.

Day 33, total films watched: 41

Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park -DVD- ***

I have always wanted to see this one! Produced in the late 1970s this features the legendary rockers as superheros (with actual superpowers) fighting a theme park magnate who creates evil robots.
The movie starts off super strong, but falls apart a little at the end. I actually found the story a bit tough to follow once it got towards the end. The Kiss members had talismen that gave them powers, but I didn't exactly get how that worked. Perhaps I need to see it again.
Anyway, think of it as Scooby-Doo combined Kiss... only Kiss can shoot lasers out of their eyes and teleport.

Snake rating: Unbe-snake-able.

There was a prop snake on stage and it breathed fire. It also helped Kiss beat robo-Kiss.

I can't believe you never saw this gem before! Next time watch closely, and you can see that the producers thought no one would be able to tell that one of the Kiss stunt doubles is African-American underneath the makeup. The producers were wrong.

 

RATINGS SCALE * Not very good/ ** Good/ *** Better than good/ **** Wow! Great movie/ ***** One of my all time favorites
