Bikini Time Machine (4 Stars)

I admit it. I'm on a Fred Olen Ray kick at the moment. I just can't get enough of his films. This is the fifth film directed by him that I've watched in the last two weeks, and I'm sure more will follow. Sure, they're low budget films, and they might not be to everyone's taste, but they're a load of fun. They're not meant to be taken seriously.

A university professor has invented a device to cast a person's thought waves and a replica of his body into the past. A side effect of the procedure is that while in the past the person is unable to resist having sex with the first person they meet. At the same time Laura, a restaurant owner, is threatened with eviction unless she can pay $15,000 to renew her lease by the end of the week. The professor visits the restaurant looking for people he can hire to test his machine. Maybe they can reach an agreement that will help everyone.

The film features Fred's regular actors, Tony Marino, Nick Manning and Ted Newsom. A welcome newcomer is TJ Cummings, who plays the leaseholder's son Teddy. I hope to see more of him in future. As usual, the lesbian scenes are more erotic than the boy-girl scenes. That's typical for soft porn. Keep making films, Fred. One day you will find recognition for your life's work.
