The Magic Voyage of Sinbad (1952, 1962) fantasy adventure added 19 Aug 09
Sinbad seeks to release the people of the city of Covasan from tyranny.
This film originally created in 1952 in Russian, was re-cut and dubbed with the oversight of James Landis for an American release in 1962. Elaborate sets and costumes, very interesting for that alone. Not a Harryhausen movie, but if you like him, you'll love this.

When the Earth is threatened with annihilation by the evil Galactic Emperor Ming, only Flash Gordon can save the day. This movie has more muscles than five gyms, a sadistic emperor, a mad scientist and a catfight between two beautiful women! Who could ask for anything more? In spite of all that, it's a family film, nothing extreme.

starring Vince Edwards, David Mendenhall, Patsy Pease, Thom Christopher
produced by Roger Corman
A young boy stows away on a pirates' spaceship. The pirates take to him and decide to try to return him home even though no ransom is offered.
Warning: Roger Corman is known for sometimes producing really bad junk. This is one of his better efforts. The aliens are at least different. The acting is passable although the film is still filled with Corman standards like emotional close-ups that don't fit the scene, plot elements left unexplained, long silent sequences and some jumpy cutting. But hey, all-in-all, it's not too bad.
