Mmmmm Betsy Russel, March 1, 2001

Monty Moonlight (TX) -

This review is from: Private School [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm giving this movie 3 stars, purely for Betsy Russel, not that Phoebe Cates doesn't deserve some hottie points too. But man, I remember watching this as a kid on USA, and even late at night on CBS, falling in love with Betsy Russel and dying to see this movie unedited. I finally rented it recently and the shower scene is to die for! Not enough Betsy Russel skin but everything else was sweet! Did she come out in anything else? Anyway, watch this movie if you just want to see a stupid, hot 80's movie! This is as legendary as Cheryl Smith's Cinderella, which I have yet to see again since I was a kid watching it on scrambled Cinemax.

Betsy Russell - Unbelievable, July 20, 2002

"helms8" (CA) -

If you're looking for gratuitous T&A, this is one of the best of all time. Betsy Russell in this movie might quite possibly be the most stunning performance by any actress ever. Her bareback horseriding scene, the seduction scene, and the stained clothes so I better take them off and let them soak scene are all nothing short of awe inspiring. Add that to a bunch or other bombshell schoolgirls walking around naked (the shower scene is just... wow), plus the fact you've got Phoebe Cates staring and I don't know what more you could ask for in this type of movie. Plotwise it's also pretty amusing with many laugh out load moments (although it's hard to stay focused on that with what you're looking at).

Truly awful film...so why the 3 stars?, March 12, 2007

Carlos (NJ) -

This review is from: Private School (DVD)

I have fond memories of being a horny 13 year old and catching Private School on cable back in the mid-80's and it had always been a movie I longed to see have a DVD release. Well...that day has finally arrived and I'm here to tell you that I must have been dumb as a rock at 13 cuz Private School might be one of the worst pieces of drek to crawl out of the 80's teen sex comedy toilet you'll ever see...and it's wonderful. See, movies can sometimes be an entirely subjective thing if you have memories attatched to them. Viewing this film nearly 25 years later I was instantly transported back to my teenage years and I spent more time reminiscing about the 80's, my first crush, the kids I hung out with, etc. than paying attention to the flick. That's not a bad thing really. The script is atrocious, the actors are painfully unfunny (especially the guy who plays Bubba who I recall stinking up a lot of these teen movies) and the cheese-ometer gets cranked up a few notches when a song sung by Phoebe Cates plays over a montage that makes Baywatch look classy.
Which brings me to Phoebe Cates...the sole reason this film even exists. Has there ever been another actress whose good looks radiate charisma when she herself is'nt really doing much of anything? Don't get me wrong she turned out to be a fine actress and her previous film "Fast Times At Ridgemont High" is about a zillion times better than Private School but truth is Phoebe Cates might have the most beautiful face ever committed to film (which may explain why the Phoebe-Cult continued to this day).
And yet....it's Betsy Russelll who delivers the goods, who actually provides Private School with it's truly sexy moments. Just watch the scene where she tries to seduce Matthew Modine by flaunting her perfectly toned legs in his face and tell me that she might not be the queen seductress of all time.
So if you've never seen this movie (and you're under 30) you'll probably wonder what all the fuss was about but if you remember 1983 and you remember waiting on line to play Pac-Man at the arcade, chances are you love this film for reasons good taste can't explain.

Comment on cat shock collar? by love2bake&eat

the shock collar sounds a bit drastic
have you tried using water to discipline him?
all you have to do is squirt him with water when he does something inappropriate, it works for all 3 of my cats

Jack sounds like a great cat!
I would not recommend a shock collar, simply because I think that it would confuse him. Getting zapped when he plays with Bella would just make him fearful or possibly aggressive.
Can you get Jack more exercise away from Bella? Possibly outside on a harness? Or put Bella in another room while you play with Jack? He’s just a big playful kitten and he means no harm, he just wants a playmate. If you can be that playmate and wear him out some, maybe he won’t be as rough with Bella. Would it be possible to add another big cat to the family to be a buddy for Jack? Or a puppy? Of course, that would probably cause Bella even more stress and they might both gang up on her. So never mind on that. Hmmm….
I know you said you tried the water bottle…maybe add a little vinegar to the water. Problem is, you have to be careful not to spray it in his eyes…but they generally hate the smell and it can be more of a deterrent than plain water. (Some of my cats and dogs in the past loved water so I had to add the vinegar!)
It can be hard to get critters to get along together. Right now I have 4 cats and 3 dogs…but I’ve been lucky, no real problems besides an occasional spat.
I wish you the best of luck!

Okay, that is just MEAN. That would be like putting a shock collar on kids and zapping them when they do something wrong. Just wrong!! Why don’t you try a squirt bottle of plain water before resorting to shock therapy. *sigh*

Simple answer:
If you had two children and the same problem, would you put a shock collar on the big child?

I should hope not and that you could think of another solution. Please try the same here. Cats are bright animals and it is possible to teach them what is and what isn’t acceptable without resorting to inhumane measures. Good luck!

I wouldn’t use a shock collar on a cat (or anything for that matter). I’m sure it would cause alot of pain and behavioural problems. My suggestion is to re-direct him when he starts playing to rough, throw a toy or get his attention with something like a laser pointer on the wall. He needs to burn off some energy. I’m sure if he’s hurting her she will let him know but if you think it’s too rough just distract him.
Good luck
