If a musical sci-fi satire about an alien transvestite named Frank-n-Furter, who is building the perfect man while playing sexual games with his virginal visitors, sounds like an intriguing premise for a movie, then you're in for a treat. Not only … see full wiki

I REMEMBER...DOING THE TIME WARP!

**** out of **** Characterized by its signature catchy lyrics, dancing trannies, midnight movie stylistics, and blood-red pouty lips on the common poster; "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" was an unmistakable cult phenomenon that took the world by storm in 1975 by introducing something new: audience participation. Since it's the characters and the songs that the fans of the musical film would remember most fondly; they would often come to midnight screenings and otherwise dressed … more

Rocky Horror Picture Show

This particular movie is a movie that everyone needs to see at least once in their lifetime. It's very fun and very campy but also very weird and at times a little unpleasant. Those unpleasant scenes and unpleasant concepts such as incest and cannibalism are the things that prevent me from giving this a 100 purely based on its camp value. That being said, this movie probably wouldn't have gotten made in this day and age and the big question it brings up is...just, why? That question can … more

Rocky Horror Picture Show - 1975

Pros: a visual treat for those that dare to explore Cons: none for me The Bottom Line: "It's just a jump_to_the_left And then a step_to_the_right With your hands on_your_hips You bring your knees_in_tight But it's the pelvic thrust That really drives you insane" ~O'Brien When I received an email from Talyseon asking me to join the write-off to pay … more

35 Years Later, and We're Still Doing the Time Warp

I was ten years old when I first saw “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” at home. Those were the days of VHS, and I didn’t have access to the commercial version sold in stores. I instead watched a grainy copy my parents had taped off of cable TV some years before I was born. I pestered them for months, and they finally consented. But even then, they were convinced that I was too young. Before giving me permission, they would refer to it in whispers as “that kind of movie.” … more

Don't Dream It....Be It!

How many campy cult classics can you count on one hand that dominated the midnite cinema for nearly a decade or longer? Here is a perfect example of a musical which has never left our heads and seems to do well with each new generation. Probability suggests that rocky horror picture show will never go out of style and purchasing this DVD is the next best thing to seeing it in your local theatre on Halloween night. Having had purchased several videotapes through … more

Everyone loves a good musical, right? Me, I love a warped musical, a "Time Warp"-ed musical. Simply one of the greatest cult films ever.

Much better than it pretends to be

Conceived, written, scored, acted and directed by a hairdresser from Hamilton, New Zealand, the stunning thing about The Rocky Horror Picture Show Soundtrack was not how accurate it is as a send up of seventies pop culture (and it was), but how, despite that, it stands on its own as a damn good rock record - funny, sure, but also sexy, bombastic, funky, swaggering and even moving in places. For all its splendour, there isn't a great deal of rock music from the time (or for that matter since) which … more
