B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH - LENA'S HOLIDAY (1991)

Felicity Waterman plays Lena, a German girl who, after the wall comes down, decides to move to Hollywood. Upon arrival she is thrown into a comic caper when her bags are switched. The second half of the movie morphs into rom-com as she gets involved with a cab driver (Chris Lemmon.) Waterman is excellent in her first picture as she's in every scene, it's a respectable performance in one of Crown International's last pictures. Lemmon, who looks so much like his dad it freaks me out is good here but lacks his dad's charm and sparkle. We have good ole Michael Sarrazin as a cop. Locations and the soundtrack are awesome and Waterman really does a great job carrying the whole picture. I say, give this one a chance if you can find it. Very rare, VHS about $35 and DVD $200. However, if you really want to see it, putchase the B-Movie Blast set of 50 movies from Millcreek which will set you back about $25 and you'll have a bunch of other movies. Enjoy. 2.75 stars/2.75

WRAPPING UP THE JUNE SUMMER ISSUE WITH "CAMP CUCAMONGA" (TV 1990) - JENNIFER ANISTON'S FIRST MOVIE

 
The basic idea behind this project was to gather as many big TV stars around in 1990 and use it as a vehicle for those names. Did it work? Negatory. 

A basic series of vignettes instead of a plot. Most the actors look out of place, it becomes a Gumball Rally kind of flick. When Sherman Hensley isn't even funny or enthused, you know you got problems. 

Point of interest here being Jennifer Aniston;'s first movie, third outing. Some alright locations, honestly I can't find much good to say about this one. Worth one watch for cinephiles.  1.0 stars/2.75

THE SUMMER FUN CONTINUES WITH JULY'S B-MOVIE OF THE MONTH
CAN YOU GUESS WHAT IT IS FROM THESE 3 CLUES?
1. A Crown International obscurity.
2. stars a pretty actress in her debut, she went on to become a star.
3. It has to deal with condoms and diamonds.
