There are bad movies that
are just plain bad. And then there are
bad movies that are good simply because they are so incredibly bad. These are called “guilty pleasures.”
Now you can debate which
is which all day long. It is often the
case that one individual’s trash can very well be another’s vision of cinematic
gold. But when 99.9 percent of genre
fans agree on bad being good, or even great, then it is a GUILTY PLEASURE. And that is very good … home entertainment
libraries are built on such films!
MVD Entertainment Group
has a new promotional banner — in addition to its popular Marquee Collection
and MVD Rewind Collection line of products — and this is simply titled (pure,
simple and direct to the point, that is) MVD Classics.
The first two entries
into the MVD Classics mix — and it is important to note — are making their
debut as Blu-ray releases and are certainly so bad that they are geniune guilty
pleasures. Both films are two from the
late cult filmmaker Jesus Franco, which is another sure sign that MVD has
chosen well in assigning them MVD Classic status.
Both films will be
available on Sept. 11, so that will be known as “upgrade” day for genre fans
with a taste for the bad (you can go ahead and bury those VHS and DVD versions
that you covet in the backyard on Sept. 11, with reverence of course). These are, Diamonds of Kilimandjaro
(1983) and Golden Temple Amazons (started in 1984 and finished with a
little help from Alain Petit).
Naked women — Analía
Ivars and Katja Bienert — cannibals, naked women, violence, naked women, jungle
creatures, naked women and all brought to you courtesy of Jesus Franco. MVD Entertainment Group has gold with these
two Blu-ray collectibles on Sept. 11 and a solid launch to the MVD Classics
line!
