The Pottsville Horror

The cast is good in this film, but that's about all. It seems that a beast (created from nuclear waste, no less) is terrorizing Pottsville, Idaho. The film sat around on the shelves for about three years before being let out to terrorize the public.

| | One of the best comedies I've ever seen. | anonymous 06/18/2007 | | This movie stars a great variety of comedians. The diversity of personalities and their comic styles makes it possible for me to watch it over and over again. My VHS is wearing out. How I wish it was on DVD. The comedy is always in good taste, focasing on the lives of loosers just trying to get the most out of life. |

The Villain 1979 PG, 93 min.
Genre: Western
Director: Hal Needham
Cast: Kirk Douglas, Ann - Margret, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul Lynde, Strother Martin, Ruth Buzzi, Jack Elam, Foster Brooks, Robert Tessier, Mel Tillis
In this very funny flick the bad guy, Cactus Jack (Kirk Douglas), just cannot manage to get the attention of Charming Jones (Ann-Margret) who has her sights set on Handsome Stranger (Arnold Schwarzenegger) who is too innocent for his own good. Panned by many, this reviewer thinks this live-action roadrunner film is just what you need when you want to relax and have fun and a few laughs.
