Barbarella: Review

Primarily silly piece of sci-fi sexploitation based on the adult comic-strip created by French artist Jean-Claude Forest.

At the Movies: Fraser In, Weisz Out of Mummy 3 | Today's News: Our Take | 4/12/2007

Hate to say it, but Lindsay Lo just found a franchise (intelligence can always be faked).... Forest Whitaker has joined The Great Debaters, a fact-based drama directed by and featuring Denzel Washington as a small-town college debate-team coach. read more
Are there any plans to remake ... | Movie News | 7/14/2005

Question: Are there any plans to remake Barbarella or to make a big-screen Dr. Who movie? I think both would fare very well with today's renewed surge of sci-fi films.

Answer: Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure that Barbarella's (1968) cheese-and-tease formula is viable in today's feature-film market, although it might work on TV — I mean, what is Cleopatra 2525 if not a variation on that theme? Based on the naughty French comic series by Jean-Claude Forest, Barbarella chronicles the racy adventures of a scantily clad 41st-century adventuress (Jane Fonda) and her encounters with counterrevolutionary David Hemmings, killer dolls, blind alien angel John Phillip Law and nefar read more
