Soviet sci-fi....
A narrator introduces the cosmonauts that will be in the story.... Then one of them plays a song for his girlfriend, which somehow makes it across space to a group of aliens, who decide it's reason enough to fly to earth & check us out.... But, right around Mars, they crash....
The aliens manage to send a distress call to Earth, & they decide to step up production on a new space ship, & another song ensues.....
The ending is pretty confusing....
Fans will recognize various elements recycled for Queen Of Blood (1966)
Due to the short runtime, I was gonna try & make it a twofer, but this one was exhausting enough, Then again, an infected tooth makes everything pretty exhausting....

Made in Czechoslovakia during the cold war, fifty years after world war 3, an elderly woman leads a group of younger women around the country side looking for whatever they can use, & ways to try & break the monotony....
Then, about forty five minutes in, they find & kill a cow (pretty graphic scene).... The noise attracts the attention of an elderly man, who takes them back to a hotel, where he has everything they need, but no other men...

Tonight's Stinker: Hearts And Armour (1983)
Tonight's Stinker
Hearts And Armour (1983)
https://youtu.be/6rEYz-vJX-0?si=7pPEewIGdtuVesKH
Italian knights this time...
As Christians & moors prepare for war, a young woman gets a prophecy that she will fall for a moor prince, but a Christian knight will kill him... She's then, rescued from a gang by a knight who gives her a magic set of armor... Later on she rescues a moor princess, but doesn't reveal her identity until after she meets the Christian knight, whom it turns out, is already in love with the princess...
Meanwhile, the moor prince sets out to rescue his sister, where we find out he & another woman are already in love...
As love & war, this movie gets very convoluted, with lots of long drawn out fight scenes that could've used some of that '80s synth music that dominates the soundtrack....

The Sword of the Barbarians (1982)
https://youtu.be/BDPSjiKuSnw?si=JkG8JCTPFErGhQpN
Italian Sword & sandal flick, with some goofy gore & gratuitous nudity....
Opens with a long narrative, which (for me) distracted from what was happening on screen.... I got the gist that a warlord wiped out the hero, but while he was a baby, then he grows up to lead a group of people around the country side looking for a place to settle down...
He finds a place, but it's already occupied by peaceful villagers who take them in, and a warlord who's goddess demands revenge after the hero kills some of his goons...
Confused yet? There's also some tension between the hero's girlfriend & the daughter of the chief that takes them in....
The warlord comes back & destroys the village & kills the girlfriend, but the chief's daughter escapes, they meet an Asian archer & a quest begins....
I have a headache, and I blame this movie...
