LISTEN TO IT AT DORKSHELF! On this week’s episode of Loose Cannons, Justin and Mathew watch the soul-crushing, virginity-losing anthology film SLUMBER PARTY ’57. As they both describe the film, they cling to life, trying to find reasons to go on. Does it make it into...
I published a pocket zine called THE CHRISTMAS CINEMA filled with under seen Holiday films in honor of our screening of GAME OVER (Code Pere Noel 3615) last Wednesday at the Royal Cinema. I am currently stunned by the marathon watch it took to complete the project....
BLOOD BEAT must have been made made by people who have never seen a film in their lives. It's directed/written/shot/composed by a Frenchman in the snowy land of Wisconsin, populated by non-actors stiffly delivering lines, and it stars a glowing killer samurai. It...
