Movies

El planeta de las mujeres invasoras (1966) A flying saucer from the Planet of the Female Invaders lands at an amusement park in Mexico which has a Flight to the Moon ride that looks exactly like the flying saucer of the Female Invaders, so they replace it with their flying saucer to capture people to take back to their planet so they can use their lungs to make some kind of breathing machine which will allow the women to live on Earth because they can only breathe Earth air for a limited time, and eventually they find that adult lungs are too old so they have to capture a lot of Earth children to use their lungs for their nefarious purposes, but the wicked Queen of the planet has a twin sister who is as good as her sister is wicked (both played by the statuesque and leggy Lorena Vasquez) who helps the Earth people in their efforts to escape. Gloriously inexpensive, it shows how much use you can get out of a hallway set with a rear-projection screen at the far end - just change the background to a different piece of fantastic architecture and it's a whole different scene. The film is enhanced by subtitles which translate the dialogue, but not always entirely into English. I don't know why I ever bother trying to better myself watching highbrow intellectual stuff or even things that are supposed to be moderately good, when this sort of absurd primitive fantasy makes me SO HAPPY. This is perfectly wonderful throughout. 10/10

Off to Planet Sibila!
