Marie, who works as a successful door-to-door encyclopedia salesperson, has been married to her husband Francois for 12 years and has a two-year-old son. Though she is relatively content with her life, she feels something is wanting. Enter 50-year old African-American Bill. Initially she is annoyed by his insouciance, but she finds that she is irresistibly attracted to him. Soon the two are in the midst of sordid illicit affair. She knows little about her new lover, and he seems uninterested in learning about her, but the long sessions of lovemaking are something else entirely. Feeling out of control, Marie is increasingly repelled by her own actions.

45 minute long slightly better than home movie about a scientist who sends three guys into the future where they meet space babes and Gary- a purple headed monster.Amusing up to a point its the sort of thing that you watch because it isn't as bad as you thought it would be. I know a glowing recommendation, but what can I say I picked it up because Patric Macnee was in it and I figured I've never really seen him in a bad movie... well one but we won't get into that. Not worth your time, but not so bad that if you get suckered into watching it you won't claw your own eyes out.5ish out of 10

If you're a fan of low budget monster films of the 50s and 60s, this fun, unique spoof is worth a look. It's got everything you've come to love in those old films, Spacebabes, lazers, spaceships, and a man in a monster mask. Oh, and I can't forget Patrick McNee... Check it out for some good comedic fun.

I saw the film twice and thought it was a lot of fun. Who wouldn't enjoy space amazons, william sanderson, a guy in a gorilla suit and an original tune from frank black. There were a lot of in-jokes relating to several B movies and B movie culture. The only "low budget" aspects of the film were done "by design" and were there for humor, (the spaghetti strainer mind reading device for example) and shouldn't be confused with the production value of the film which was high. The editing, directing, attention to detail in regards to set design, and post production all make it unique.

This is one of the most refreshingly creative shorts I have seen in a long time. It's smart-it's camp-it's funny. The film also features some of today's best character actors-Duane Whitaker, Daniel Roebuck and Jimmy Keene (the acting machine). Kathe Duba-Barnett's star is on the rise, if you get the chance...see this movie!
