Common Law Cabin (1967) a.k.a How Much Loving Does a Normal Couple Need?


































  Dewey Hoople runs a tourist trap along the Colorado River with his wife Babette and their daughter Coral. Normally, he pays a local alcoholic to entice tourists to come to his place. Barney Rickett, an ex-detective that has stolen a fortune in unclaimed jewellery, arrives and everything changes...
  Originally scheduled and written to be filmed in a Hawaiian tourist paradise but due to budget cuts (of course) set in Arizona, this film certainly delivers what it promises. Russ Meyer, even after his plans and visions had to be changed, does not fail to deliver once again the doses of exploitation we all need. For me, it may have been better that the settings were like that. The everyday vices of everyday people that Meyer portrays can be realized better with the deserted scenery as a background.
   A parade of classic exploitation actors here too! Jackie Moran, Babette Bardot, Adele Rein,  Frank Bolger, Ken Swofford, Alaina Capri and John Furlong. They all blend perfectly good in the given environment and seem to look good with the famous Eastman Color! Unbelievably real characters and unbelievable reactions!
Must watch this :  in deep summer, with a Mojito in hand,cigarettes, sunglasses and sexy company!

Cherry, Harry & Raquel! (1970)


































  Harry, small town sheriff and marijuana smuggler, lives with his girlfriend Cherry while having sex on the side with Raquel and doing deeds with Enrique for Mr. Franklin, a local politician. When a certain "Apache" starts claiming his share on the marijuana market, war breaks out and everyone is left either dead or having sex...
  Russ Meyer in yet another raunchy classic exploitation film! Personalities, characters and profits crash and collide with each other under the influence of the scorching desert sun and the haze of money and weed! Everything you expect from Meyer is there ; fierce violence, buxotic women living for nothing except for seduction, strong men and their vain motives, fast cars and lots of desert dust! Oh yeah, I feel alive just by thinking of it!
  Charles Napier is the corrupt police officer and politician's helping hand, Linda Ashton is his nurse girlfriend and Larissa Ely is lady-of-the-lake Raquel. Bert Santos, John Milo, Frank Bolger and legendary Uschi Digard complete the rest of the cast in their own delinquent way. Cheesy acting, funny at some times but straight edge at other times, this is must watch for any man and woman!
Must watch this : with a good joint, a mojito and a lady that you want to get in bed with.Set the mood with that saucy bastard and some psychedelic dancing. If the combination doesn't help you I really don't know what can!
Something close to a trailer

Mudhoney (1965)


































  1933. U.S.A in Depression and Prohibition. Calif, a stranger with a hidden past on his way to California, is hired by Lute Wade in Missouri in order to get some traveling money. Calif falls in love with Lute's daughter, Hannah, but her no-good drunk husband, Sidney, stands in the way. Sidney soon turns the town against Calif with the help of a mad preacher, while he is out to get Lute's inheritance. Violence and passions breaks out!
  Yet another classic by master Russ Meyer. All the classic elements of Meyer-istic film-making dance around in this film too but it somehow feels a little bit different. Maybe because there is an extra touch of drama and desperation, blending perfectly with the era of the story. A must-see for self-respecting viewers.
  Standard Meyer cast! Hal Hopper, John Furlong, Antoinette Cristiani, Stuart Lancaster and Frank Bolger. Run-down characters in a messed-up time trying to find their way to salvation! My personal highlight is the preacher's wife, Lee Ballard! Ultra hot and buxotic. My personal fantasy!
Must watch this :  on a hot Saturday night, right before you go out, with some good bourbon on the rocks. Nothing beats that feeling.

Lorna (1964)


































  Lorna, married to Jim for a year.Jim, hard-working straight-shooting fellow who loves his wife more than anything. Luther and Jonah, Jim's co-workers who love to give him a good tease. It all goes wrong when the sexually unsatisfied Lorna is raped by an escaped convict and she finds herself in love with him. Jim is brought to his limits and violence follows.
  One of Russ Meyer's better films, this one here deals with everything that you love about this director. Action and reaction, sin and retribution, moral equilibrium and lots of sex and violence. The vicious circle of violence and hate engulfs each character in their own way and no one gets out unharmed, some more than others. Dive into the very depths of human soul and its fucked-up complexes and find out how quickly violence solves everything. No man, no problem.
  Top-notch cast here as always. Russ Meyer never disappoints with his choice of actors, especially with the female ones. Lorna Maitland (as voluptuous Lorna), James Rucker as Jim, master Hal Hopper as Luther, Doc Scortt as Jonah and Mark Bradley as the raping convict. Each magnificent in their unique style, each exploring the depths of their characters' soul. Each ready to break from the pressure of their feelings, each a painting of normal people's feelings and a reminder that violence may not be right but it is certainly needed. Lorna, though, gets what she deserves!
Must watch this : with female companion over a fine dinner. After the film talk about gender equality in our days.

Good Morning...and Goodbye! (1967)


































  Eleven different people, eleven different twists in the same story. Burt isn't enough for Angel, Angel finds another guy whom he catches with another woman. Angel finds Justin who finds another gal, Burt and Angel fight and Burt is seduced by a sorceress leaving Angel with Ray!
  And then I thought crap like 90210 has a lot of inter-character relationships ! This is different. This is Russ Meyer. With Russ Meyer it's poetic, it's an ode to free love and free-er people. A nostalgic and romantic approach to the depths of human existence and its reasons for sex and violence. All organically bound together under the influence of smooth music in a rough environment!
  Russ Meyer is known for picking out the best actors to incarnate his characters. We've said those things again. Stuart Lancaster, an actor who deserves more respect, is the man who can't get his wife, Alaina Capri, enough. Haji, the seducing sorceress, and a number of other talanted actors fill in the gaps. Strong characters, manly men and curvy women all portrayed by actors forgotten in the mists of time and infinite celluloid! Don't let it slip away!
Must watch this : watch this before you go on a date, on a really long and hot summer afternoon. You can use the lines you will pick up from this film on your date. The excitement combined with the heat will make you a different person!
Trailer enough

Motor Psycho (1965)


































  Three motorcyclists get their groove on by raping women and causing chaos, under the leadership of an ex-Vietnam violent maniac. After they rape a quiet veterinarian's wife, he puts aside his personality and goes on to take his revenge with the help of a Cajun woman, whose husband was murdered by the gang. Who will kill who?
  There is not a single movie by Russ Meyer that I can characterize as not perfect! His movies have everything an open mind can seek in cinema ; thrills, dialogues, special characters, a normal story of violence in a picturesque place. Russ Meyer makes me want to live in his magic universe of seductive everyday women, dusty old places and muscle cars! Damn, I hate reality.
  Every actor in this film (and in any other Meyer film) is carefully chosen and it would take long to analyze each character's progress. Alex Rocco and Haji are the protagonist duo and the flame and passion of their lust for violent vengeance is all around the film. They even have an awkward fling thing going on! Must-watch if you respect yourself!
Must watch this : Russ Meyer is all about macho, sophisticated men and smart, curvacious women so watch this, overload your sexual identity and then start a long steamy conversation with solid statements leading up to sex! Must be an insufferably hot summer night, with a glass of Southern Comfort and the company of a classy, curvy lady (or your pick of a guy if you are a girl).
No trailer but it will do

Mondo Topless (1966)


































  Not so much of a story here! Actually there is no story here. Only interviews of strippers and go-go girls of the 60's era (mostly American), with teasing videos of them in desert scenes and some smooth swing jazz-psychedelic rock n' roll by The Alladins in the background.That's mondo for you!
  Introducing the genre of mondos (or mockumentaries) : documentary-like films but with the only difference that they deal with taboo subjects or subjects that do not usually make a documentary theme (who else has seen a documentary on strippers???). They most certain thing is that you can't take them seriously but in a more light-hearted way. Actually, I have come to find myself learning a lot from such films but maybe that's just me.
  Russ Meyer does not need an introduction, especially not from someone like me. It isn't his most remembered film either but it shows his intentions and what's to happen later on his career. He takes some strippers and go-go girls, asks their opinion on some "hot" topics, throws them in the desert, adds some smooth tasteful music (one of my most favorite soundtracks so far) and lets the voyeur inside us appear! A vast quantity (and quality) of buxoms appears in our screens from women who seem to be long gone in the decades and strips of celluloid! Don't treat this as porn or you will lose the meaning, unless you are 12!
Must watch this : definitely in the summer, most probably when the sun hits the highest spot with a cold beer in each hand!
