Quote:
  !SWORD OF SHERWOOD FOREST (1960). Terence Fisher directed Hammer film dealing with Robin Hoods adventures. Richard Greene, who was on the TV series, plays Robin, although He looks a little too podgy to be so athletic. The film looks good with other performers I like, such as Nigel Green (COUNTESS DRACULA), Niall McGiiness (NIGHT OF THE DEMON), Desmond Llwellyn ("Q" in the James Bond films), Oliver Reed (once again being anti-social and with an unusual speaking style) and of course, the Man, Peter Cushing as a pretty good Sheriff of Nottingham. Film overall is OK, but as far as Robin Hood goes, the 1938 Errol Flynn film is really all You need (Don't even get Me going on the Kevin Costner one  ). **1/2

The Terror (1963) ★★★
A fun little watch, not in the least because it pairs two absolute icons of cinema. And an entertaining film to boot. Nice atmos. Defintely up for a rewatch.

ISLAND OF THE LOST (1967). An abrasive Scientist travels with his family to the South Pacific, become shipwrecked and marvel at the strange wildlife found on said island. Ivan Tors (of FLIPPER fame) has his name on production, Ricou Browning (Titular underwater denizen of the CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON series and who also worked on FLIPPER) directs and the script is written by another CREATURE alumnus Richard Carlson (also in THEY CAME FROM OUTER SPACE and VALLEY OF GWANGI). There is some excellent underwater photography and interesting cast; Richard Greene (TV Robin Hood), Luke Halpin (FLIPPER, SHOCK WAVES), Robin Mattson (BONNIE'S KIDS and TV GENERAL HOSPITAL) and lovely Irene Tsu
.I liked IOTL as a little FD, but find it quite dull this time around. The scientist /Father is such an asshole, I'm surprised He wasn't pushed off the boat  !Probably a film that was more fun to make than it is to watch. **

BARBARELLA (1968). After winning two Oscars in the 70's, becoming a Fitness Queen in the 80;s and marrying Ted Turner, Jane Fonda would probably like to forget this campy sci-fi flick.
Barbarella is a Space explorer searching the universe and ending up in all kinds of misadventures with her usually in danger or a compromising position. Not bad overall, if You approach it with the right attitude. **1/2
