Review: Cat-Women of the Moon, 1953: Marie Windsor is having serious problems keeping her mind on her job as navigator on a rocketship traveling toward the moon: compelling thoughts demand she land the craft at a certain spot on the far side of the familiar space orb. Once landed, they disembark and Windsor deftly maneuvers the male crew (the ship's two leaders are both secretly in love with her) toward a secret ruined city below the surface. There they discover a race of "cat-women" who run around in black leotard tights and who exercise a kind of mind-control skill that is at its most powerful when projected onto the female brain, that is, Windsor's. Meanwhile, the men are delighted to meet these beautiful denizens of an ancient space-empire, not suspecting the Cat-Woman have a master plan to swipe the rocketship and head to earth on a mission to conquor and repopulate their almost vanished species.

The line-up of May releases from Warner Archive, quite a few titles with excellent new 4K scans from quality film elements.

Fast Review: The Return of Swamp Thing - 1989: This film doesn't have much ambition other than to play sequel to the original film of 1982 and to try to underline every character and story element with an alternative meaning that is pure camp humor. Louis Jourdan plays a villain that seems somehow bored no matter how much mayhem is happening in his immediate surroundings, and our main star, a young and pretty Heather Locklear, seems to happily grin bigger and bigger as the preposterousness of the story builds. The special effects, writing and side-characters are much better than a straight-to-VHS-tape movie of the 1980s, but somehow The Return of Swamp Thing seems like it was truly made to reside on the shelf of some eternal Blockbuster Video store where it is always ten-minutes before closing on a Friday night and you've already seen all the other "better" titles.

Fast Review: The Divorce of Lady X, 1938: Laurence Olivier is an attorney in London who is a jaded veteran of divorce trials, and one night he is forced by circumstances of weather to stay overnight at a hotel teeming with women also stuck there and all dressed in elaborate costumes for an event at the hotel's dance hall. Mercilessly disregarding the plea of the hotel management to "double-up" on lodgings since there's not enough room for everyone, Olivier ends up getting outsmarted by a clever Merle Oberon who practically steals his bed out from under him, an action that leaves him sleaping uncomfortably in an outer room and also quite smitten.

Review: The Leech Woman, 1960: Colleen Gray spends part of this film under heavy age makeup, caught in a twisted variation on the “fountain of youth” story. In this case, a venal scientist (her husband!) is determined to make millions from an African tribe’s secret youth-restoring medicine. He pretends his efforts are meant to restore his much older wife’s health and beauty, but we can easily see this is merely a ploy to gain access to her wealth. When success comes, though, there's a price, one that catches the mendacious husband completely by surprise.
