Today, DVD Verdict posted reviews of CHARLIE CHAN IN THE SECRET SERVICE,
GIRL IN TROUBLE / GOOD TIME WITH A BAD GIRL / BAD GIRLS DO CRY, LANCELOT
OF THE LAKE, MISS FIRECRACKER, THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS (AND HOW TO GET
INTO IT), WHOLLY MOSES!, and THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ: ANIMATED
COLLECTION:


CHARLIE CHAN IN THE SECRET SERVICE (reviewed by Paul Corupe, overall
score 74/100):
"Fox reportedly dropped the Charlie Chan series because World War II had
broken out, so it's interesting that Monogram's first production,
Charlie Chan in the Secret Service, reinvents the character to solve
crimes and battle spies; an unflappable G-Man with superior powers of
deduction."

GIRL IN TROUBLE / GOOD TIME WITH A BAD GIRL / BAD GIRLS DO CRY (reviewed
by Bill Gibron, overall score 40/100):
"With titles that tell more than they ever show, the Teen Turmoil Triple
Feature from Something Weird Video is about as slutty as a weeping paper
cut and as promiscuous as a paraplegic wombat."

LANCELOT OF THE LAKE (reviewed by Neil Dorsett, overall score 71/100):
"It is refreshing to see the Arthur legend used in a serious context, no
matter what the particulars. The experience is largely academic, but it
is possible to catch the rhythm of this film and enjoy its tragic tale
at gut level. It's just not easy and for most people may not be worth
the effort."

MISS FIRECRACKER (reviewed by Amanda DeWees, overall score 76/100):
"Every now and then a movie comes along that makes me wonder: Have I
become a curmudgeon?"

THE TROUBLE WITH GIRLS (AND HOW TO GET INTO IT) (reviewed by Bill
Treadway, overall score 73/100):
"As much of an Elvis fan as I am, I wasn't all that enraptured with The
Trouble With Girls. I'm known as the guy who liked Speedway and Stay
Away Joe, two of Elvis's most reviled films, so that has to say
something."

WHOLLY MOSES! (reviewed by Patrick Naugle, overall score 77/100):
"I enjoyed Wholly Moses! and its skewered take on religion (to a point),
even if the comedy often feels like it's two notches short of where it
ought to be."

THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ: ANIMATED COLLECTION (reviewed by Paul
Corupe, overall score 63/100):
"It's inevitable that any adaptation of the Oz books will be judged
against MGM's classic 1939 musical of The Wizard of Oz, and this series
of animated films barely cuts it."
