Collection Recommendation: Mr. Lobo's Cinema Insomnia (Set 2) on Alpha DVD
Three, new entries of Mr. Lobo's "Cinema Insomnia" are now available through Alpha Video (oldies.com). Each presents exceptional, DVD entertainment, certain to satisfy one's offbeat and "misunderstood" urges.
There's "Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome", a big-time favorite among fans, which spotlights the suave Ralph Byrd as the famous, comic-strip detective and the great Boris Karloff as Tracy's angry antagonist. Mr. Lobo injects cheerful charm into this one, per his dry wit and irreverent perspective. (There's even a special appearance from sexy Lady Skankenstein.)
Next we have "(Gappa) Monster from a Prehistoric Planet": a Toho/Rodan-ish wannabe (and "Gorgo" variant) that more than matches the keenest, kaiju stompers. Thanks to Mr. Lobo, this quirky submission gets an ebullient face lift, with weird, exotic fillers woven throughout its apocalyptic run.
Our final submission is the uplifting "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians": a low-budget labor of love that's been misunderstood for decades. This Cold War entry sports sentimentality, sci-fi hi jinks and one helluva catchy theme song. Mr. Lobo's celebratory, tongue-in-cheek exclamations make the production's colorful, cosmic concept all the jollier.
Add these cool, "Cinema Insomnia" additions to your library today:
