Today, DVD Verdict posted reviews of ALIEN APOCALYPSE, ANGEL ON THE
RIGHT, ANNIE / ANNIE: A ROYAL ADVENTURE (DOUBLE FEATURE), GAY
REPUBLICANS, HOLLYWOOD RIVALS: JOAN CRAWFORD VS. BETTE DAVIS, RAZOR
BLADE SMILE, TERROR BY NIGHT, WASABI TUNA, and YOUNG GODS:
ALIEN APOCALYPSE (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 83/100):
"Just read the synopsis again: alien termites force people to work in
sawmills so they can sell the wood and make money. Who's going to take
that seriously?"

ANGEL ON THE RIGHT (reviewed by Rob Lineberger, overall score 71/100):
"Angel on the Right is an unsympathetic but comic tale that touches on
powerful human themes. It is uneven in tone and lacks a clear narrative
thrust, but compensates with great cinematography, good acting, and
cultural interest."

ANNIE / ANNIE: A ROYAL ADVENTURE (DOUBLE FEATURE) (reviewed by Bryan
Pope, overall score 78/100):
"One worries that Annie's energy level peaks too early with the
energetic 'Hard Knock Life.' With its relentless army of moppets uniting
in sister solidarity to rally against such unpleasantries as cold mush
and no Santa Claus, the number is a flurry of imaginative, lively
choreography."

GAY REPUBLICANS (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall score 83/100):
"With numerous states passing laws to ban gay marriage, and with
President George W. Bush proposing a constitutional amendment to ban gay
marriage, how does a homosexual reconcile the fact that their party, in
no other easier term, hates them? How can you belong to a party in which
you are not welcomed, shunned, and seen as less than an equal?"

HOLLYWOOD RIVALS: JOAN CRAWFORD VS. BETTE DAVIS (reviewed by Brett
Cullum, overall score 75/100):
"Honestly, both women scare me. I was convinced as a child that if they
lifted their skirts high enough it would reveal male genitalia, and I
had nightmares about it. The thought of these two dames meeting in a
dark alley to duke things out is a frightening prospect."

RAZOR BLADE SMILE (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 68/100):
"As far as the mayhem goes...well, it doesn't go so far. For a movie
about a vampire hitwoman, Razor Blade Smile sports some static, boring
action sequences."

TERROR BY NIGHT (reviewed by Ian Visser, overall score 70/100):
"You have to admire Rathbone for not simply phoning in his performance
in Terror By Night. As always, Rathbone gives us a Holmes that is quick-
witted and focused, able to deduce what mere mortals cannot."

WASABI TUNA (reviewed by Aaron Bossig, overall score 82/100):
"I admit, I was getting close to giving up when the transvestite Anna
Nicole Smith clones got into a brawl with the kung-fu chicks, but..."

YOUNG GODS (reviewed by Eric Profancik, overall score 75/100):
"Not knowing this film is based on a Finnish urban legend did leave me
confused, but putting that spin on it helped clear everything up. I
realized there wasn't a hidden subtext; there wasn't an attempt to
teach kids to be less sexual. Nope. It was just an easy springboard
for a story."
