I love period pieces. I wish I could travel back in time to the fifties era. While I doubt it was far from the innocent 50's I always see in movies and comic books, they do paint a pretty nice, naive picture.

This leads to Betty Page, the symbol of that time, a pretty, naive picture.

Of course I have been aware of Betty Page since I probably ever became aware of girls, but I really didn't know much about her. I saw some facination in her, especially with goth chicks and stuff but I never took the time to really find out more.

The Notorious Betty Page has resolved that. In this picture you get a nice snapshot of the rise and disappearance of Betty Page. Her innocence and naive personality totally reflect the fifties era perfectly. Somehow, the film shows (just barely touching on it) Betty's abusing father (barely a hint) and her horrible gang rape. Most movies these days would have really focused on that tragedy and never gotten over it. But, apparently Betty did and so does this movie. Betty's personality stays sweet even after those incidents whereas many would have spiralled down in bottle of whisky and drugs. Not Betty, she just goes along for a neat, albeit controversial ride.

The original Butterfly Effect film was a surprise for me. I knew nothing about it and after seeing it loved it. This one is obviously tired. For one thing the going back in time and fixing things is old. For another, aside from the original jump to save his friends, the rest were so the guy could have a good job, money, sex, etc. While the first one dealt with saving his freind from child abuse, tc. This one was to save his girlfried from a life of being a fashion photographer. LAME.

Still, it wasn't awful to sit through, but mindless entertainment where I found the original thought provoking.

It is also nice to see a sci fi fans cast here. Erica Durance from Smallville, Gina Holden from many sci fi projects such as Buck Rogers and Smallville, and the hot Lindsey Maxwell from other sci fi stuff too (one of which I just saw last night, Decoys 2).

Nice to see an all-Canadian casting of babes here.

After mildly enjoying the first Decoys movie, I was actually looking forward to checking this out. Unfortunately it is bland. The last twenty or so minutes are when it really rocks though. The actors really begin to ham it up b-movie style, the...

After mildly enjoying the first Decoys movie, I was actually looking forward to checking this out. Unfortunately it is bland. The last twenty or so minutes are when it really rocks though. The actors really begin to ham it up b-movie style, the chicks drop their kits quite often, and it left me wishing the whole film was as good as the last twenty minutes. It wasn't... too bad.

This movie was total bunk. The last fifteen minutes is fine, but the entire rest of the movie is soooo slow going, the characters are boring, everything about this film is actually.
