Synopsis: The setting is the planet Lythion in the year 40,000, when Barbarella (Jane Fonda) makes a forced landing while traveling through space. She acts like a female James Bond, vanquishing evil in the forms of robots and monsters. She also rewards, in an uninhibited manner, the handsome men who assist her in the adventure. Whether she is wrestling with Black Guards, the evil Queen, or the Angel Pygar, she just can’t seem to avoid losing at least a part of her skin-tight space suit!
.
Bottom Line: If you’ve never seen this movie, you must. It’s fun, campy, and Jane Fonda looks pretty good in a skin-tight space suit. This is one that every cult movie fan must own in their collection — OWN IT!

Synopsis: Frank (Joel Murray) has had enough of the downward spiral of American culture. Divorced, recently fired, and possibly terminally ill, Frank feels he has nothing left to live for. However, instead of taking his own life, he embarks on a killing spree with cohort Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr), who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement, and together they embark on a nation-wide assault on our country s dumbest, most irritating celebrities.
.
Bottom Line: If you didn’t get a chance to see this one in the theaters don’t feel bad, I don’t think anyone did because it was in such limited release due to the independent nature of the film and the darkly comic subject matter. But for a guy who ran a blog called “Thinning the Herd,” dedicated to imagining a world where the people we can’t stand didn’t exist, this is right up my alley — RENT IT!

Synopsis: Buckle your swash and jolly your roger for the ultimate musical comedy pirate adventure! Kristy McNichol (Little Darlings) and Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon) star as dreamy young lovers in this uproarious update of Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates Of Penzance, filled with virtuous maidens and shirtless cutthroats, savage swordplay and buried treasure, a dashing Pirate King (Ted Hamilton) and a modern Major General (Bill Kerr), plus plenty of pillaging, plundering, plank-walking fun!
.
Bottom Line: Okay, so this movie is pretty terrible, but it has a certain nostalgic, guilty pleasure from my youth association with it. If you can get past how ridiculous it is, you might even have a good time — RENT IT!
