Oh The Humanity “Au Pair Girls”

OTH: Oh The Humanity No Comments

scan0079This category in this blog is for wayward works, works that flirt with  timeless dribble and jaw dropping uselessness. “Au Pair Girls” is a product of the go-go sixties (made in 72′), shamelessly peachy with that lightheaded soundtrack that splices racy lightly sung lyrics with an aimless jazzy rift.  Music for those to drive over cliffs. 

Now this was one of my first dvds, and a gift.  And there is talent within—Trevor Bannister and Harold Bennett of Are You Being Served fame.  John Standing from Rogue Male playing the swarthy (older) Brit brings snobbish class to the picture.  The rest of the cast, be they tea and crumpet Brits like Roger Avon and Ferdy Mayne, or Astrid Frank and Me Me Lai make this romp film very international, if pretty devoid of talent.  This is a silly, silly movie with breast and buffoonery, both lighthearted and very lightheaded.

Movie of the Month July 2008 “Shaun of the Dead”

Movie of the Month No Comments

Hey,  the zombies are here. A gritty comedy about a layabout in England who finds himself and his cohorts awash in brain eating zombies. Some truly unforgettable dialouge and sight gags. Give it a see.
