Baberellas

I rented this movie because I like the main actress, Julie K. Smith (she's getting older and won't be making many more movies so every one counts). The title "B-movie Queen" is batted around a bit too loosely but she definitely qualifies as one of the 90's best. Too bad she's being offered sub-par flicks like this. Special effects are not supposed to take up most of the time in one of these movies for the simple reason that they cant afford anything good. However, the directors of this flick seemed to think that they were making the next Star Wars.They also tried to cash in on the title of Jane Fonda's classic "Barbarella" and fool buyers into thinking it was some kind of parody, it's not even close. I did chuckle at two or three scenes but most of the time I just felt cheated. Not funny, sexy, erotic, interesting or worthy of more than a curious look. I would really be kicking myself(hard) if Julie wasn't in it. As it is, this movie is only worth watching if someone else is paying or you're really, REALLY bored.
