Kook's Tour (1970)
Good for Stooge Fans
This movie would be appreciated by Stooge fans only. The movie starts out by showing some clips of some Stooge movies, all with Curly Jo. We then see the Stooges, in full color talking about their careers and now that they are retired, they will take a vacation and enjoy the places that they have been to but couldn't enjoy because of having to perform. I have to hand it to the camera crew. There are some beautiful landscape shots that are an enjoyment to me. The Stooges travel to some state parks and fish with their dog "Moose". Larry cannot catch a fish and they are poking fun at him because of this. The Stooges use some old lines and there are just a few times that they get hit but that is more for nostalgia than any thing. I think that the funniest part of the movie is when Larry dresses up in a camouflage outfit in order to get a picture of a deer. They loose their dog so they go out to try to find him and no one can see Larry because he blends in with the scenery. Larry never does catch a fish and because of that, Larry speaks his final words on film; "I quit". Larry suffered a stroke during the filming and was unable to finish the project so Norman Maurer had to piece together this hour long film using his own hands to dub for Larry. I gave it a 9 because this film is of great value to us die hard Stooge Fans
Devil Doll (1964)
Pretty Good
I really liked this movie for several reasons. I thought that the special effects were very good for the time, 1964, the hypnotist was excellent. He played the part perfectly. It was a great story line. I think that the movie was under rated. The writer should have gotten special notice. Last but not least, when I first saw this movie I was 13 and my male hormones went nuts over the assistant who showed off her butt. The movie had a great atmosphere that I wish modern day movie directors would take notice of. There was no slash, no gore and no bad language. Instead of showing all the blood and guts of todays horror movies, they should take notice of movies like this.
