10 (1979)

A Hollywood composer goes through a mid-life crisis and becomes infatuated with a sexy, newly married woman.

From memory:  On the surface an old-fashioned sex comedy, but the jokes utterly misfire behind  misogynist premise.

Halliwell (no star): "Randy farce which struck some, but not all, audiences as the funniest thing since sliced bread."

Maltin**: "Blake Edwards' idea of a real sophisticated movie; sporadically funny but tiresome, glib, and pompous."

Flash Gordon (1980)

A football player and his friends travel to the planet Mongo and find themselves fighting the tyranny of Ming the Merciless to save Earth.

Well produced and nicely designed attempt to make a campy version of the Flash Gordon saga; the intention is much too in-your-face, and the makers seem to ignore the fact that the original was more camp than they could ever achieve.

Halliwell (no star): "Lively comic strip addition to the increasing numbers of such things being restaged at enormous expense fifty years after their prime."

Maltin***: "Updated version of comic strip is better than expected, thanks to eye-filling production/costume design by Danilo Donati, amusing rock score by Queen. Jones and Anderson are liabilities..., but Muti's evil Princess Aura...leads a strong supporting cast."

Psychotronic/Michael Weldon: "Despite a repetitious rock score by Queen and a terrible campy attitude, this Flash Gordon...is often visually impressive, and Max von Sydow does a good Charles Middleton impression. Basically it's as good as Battlestar Galactica. Sam Jones is a pretty bad hero...His lines had to be dubbed over by another actor!"
