Checkmate (1973)
7/10
"Pepper: Agent 00X" is the original title.
14 April 2022
Not sure where the tag "Checkmate" comes from. It should be listed as "Pepper".

Also, the star is Reagan Wilson (not Diana Wilson). She was Playmate of the Month for August 1967. She was also featured in "Blood Mania".

Jenny (1970)
1/10
Horrible premise, horrible movie
16 March 2021
The less said, the better. Even worse than Clint Eastwood's THE BEGUILED.

Butterbean's Café (2018–2020)
10/10
I can't speak too highly of this show!
29 April 2020
I know one reviewer was up in arms because no one said "Merry Christmas", but other than that and a few "new wave" ideas (like one minor character who "doesn't eat meat") this show is just too cute to rate negatively. I'm a 67 year old retiree with no kids and I don't know how I chanced upon this show, but it is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the Nick Jr. line-up.

Butterbean is "the very best boss" that you wish your boss was like! But her 6-year old sister Cricket is the real star of the show, always wanting to help out, but her inexperience in life can get her into bad situations.

The show teaches perseverance, teamwork (the catchy song "Let's Get Cooking!") and life skills, most notably a beginner's guide to cooking that should inspire youngsters to help out in the kitchen and put food on the table.

The 3D animation is masterful! All-in-all, Butterbean's Cafe is just plain CUTE, and I hope it continues!

International Showtime (1961–1965)
Don Ameche for 7-Up!
15 November 2017
I remember International Showtime as a summer replacement show for several years. I'm sure famed actor Don Ameche would rather be filming a sequel to Alexander GRAHAM BELL than sitting in the back row of a big European theater, introducing circus acts. But he did it well, and only occasionally had to show off a bottle of 7-Up, the program's sponsor, as I remember.

I think this is where this adolescent boy was introduced to the Kessler Twins! WOW!!!!

McKeever and the Colonel (1962–1963)
8/10
"McKeever" and "Ensign O'Toole"
25 June 2017
I remember these "military comedies" and their single season on NBC, playing back-to-back, early Sunday evenings, just before "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color".

While "Ensign O'Toole" starred Dean Jones and was about an Ensign Pulver-type character on a modern day Navy destroyer (the captain was played by the constantly grumpy Jack Albertson), "McKeever" was geared more to my pre-teen age group.

I had a "McKeever and the Colonel" comic book, probably a one-shot, and I seem to remember the story was an off-shoot of one of the episodes. Other than that, I don't remember much specifically, but I can still hum the catchy theme-song/march. :-)

Ensign O'Toole (1962–1963)
8/10
Dean Jones SINGS (!)
25 June 2017
The only episode I can remember involved a little runaway girl who stowed away on the ship. Dean Jones sang (not bad really!) "Thank Heaven For Little Girls" to her.

Great supporting cast with Jack Albertson as the captain, Harvey Lembeck, Jay C. Flippen, and even Beau Bridges (I knew I'd seen him somewhere before). :-)

The Great Adventure (1963–1964)
10/10
An enjoyable series!
11 January 2014
Although I specifically remember only one episode (Jackie Cooper in "The Hunley"), I can still hum the rousing theme march by Richard Rogers, a real toe-tapper!

The opening titles were a chronological panorama of historical scenes (Washington crossing the Delaware, etc.) ending with a rocket blasting off from Cape Canaveral. Very rousing!

Next to "Hawaii Five-O", probably my favorite main title.

I recall it coming on CBS late Sunday afternoons, after "The Twentieth Century" with Walter Cronkite.

This series deserves to be seen again.

Write CBS, Inc. and make your desires known!

A Bond chop-sockie with babes and Bond touches
19 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Katy Hickman (who is brunette... I've no idea why she is billed as "The Blonde") is the baby crocodile-loving archvillainess who also gets a nude rubdown from her henchgirl and battles Alex Fong in the climax, which proves the bullet is quicker than the knife.

The opening sequence with the heroes riding from the airport in a broken-down cab is hilarious. The cabbie has promised "air conditioning", "power windows" etc. which are only in his mind.

A fun movie.

Really. :-)

The featured video clip is WRONG
16 July 2011
The featured video trailer on this page claims it is from ELSA, FRAULEIN SS (which stars Malisa Longo and Patrizia Gori) but it is NOT. It is from HELL TRAIN, starring Monika Swinn. Whoever put the title on the trailer is mistaken.

The movies are similar, but ELSA (a.k.a FRAULEIN DEVIL) is superior to HELL TRAIN, largely because Ms. Longo and Ms. Gori are much easier to look at than Ms. Swinn.

ELSA seems better photographed than HELL TRAIN also.

Patrizia Gori and Malisa Longo play similar characters in SHE-WOLF OF SPILBERG.

a really wild weekend!
7 March 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The highlight of CHEERLEADERS' WILD WEEKEND for me was the hot MILF lesbian school nurse played by buxom blonde Courtney Sands (who is not listed as making any other movies :-( ). Her attempted seduction of one of the rich girls by giving her a bath is HOT. The poor girl is afraid and doesn't want to play... even after the villainess exposes her own monumental rib flaps to her! The interruption by one of the male kidnappers is maddening! One wonders if the older dyke would have been successful.

The clincher comes when the cheerleaders revolt and the kidnappers are tied up with the girls' underwear. The lesbian kidnapper has her mouth stuffed with her 'target''s panties (!!) and the girl tells her "that's as close as you'll ever get". (Cheers from the audience!)

A waste of Stella's talents SPOILER
20 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
If you searched out MISTER DEATHMAN hoping for a reprise of Stella Stevens again playing an evil "lipstick lesbian" dope queen (as she did admirably in CLEOPATRA JONES AND THE CASINO OF GOLD), battling black good guys, you will be disappointed.

Yes, she does play that kind of character ("Liz"... read "lez") but the extent of her sapphic scenes consists of nothing more than walking away with her arm around the waist of one of her girls in ONE scene! No nudity, no kissy-face lesbian scene. :-( Indeed, she wears the SAME costume thru the whole movie. It's a foxy riding habit with boots, but after the many costume changes in the Cleo Jones movie you would expect more.

Her violent action scenes are missing here too. When Stella finally gets her just desserts... blown to Hades while hiding behind a truck that is hit by a missile fired by the black hero... there is nothing left of her shown, except for her riding crop. Like I said... what a waste of a beautiful actress.

Huh???
18 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I have read the two previous "user comments" and am greatly befuddled! I have been looking for this movie for over 20 years, after seeing reviews in Adam Film World and other men's (adult) magazines. (One said the alternate title was "Linda".) I have NOT see it. But the reviews and pictures seem to be VERY different from the user comments read here (which don't seem to match each other!). Are we all talking about the same movie?? There does seem to be a lengthly whipping scene (as the first reviewer here noted) but that's where similarities seem to end. In the AFW review, the "man" in the title is a photographer who is shooting pics or was washed up on an island with a couple of his models. They find out that the island is controlled by 6 (do the math) man-hating lesbians. No spoiler in the review, but I'd guess the guy escapes with at least a few of the women.

From the previous user comments, we can't all be correct in the descriptions of this movie... if A MAN, 8 GIRLS (a.k.a. LINDA) is what we are talking about.

Has Something Weird Video or any others released this on DVD or tape?
