1.5 Stars
Year Released: 2003
MPAA Rating: PG-13

IN LIMITED RELEASE! “The Triplets of Belleville” is probably the worst animated feature film I’ve ever seen. I went into the screening of this film expecting to be blown away and left dismayed over the junk I saw on the screen…

Like a musician who can’t hit a sour note even if he tries, the crew at Pixar simply can’t produce a lousy movie, at least so far…

MY FLESH AND BLOOD

4 Stars
Year Released: 2003
MPAA Rating: Unrated
Running Time: 83 minutes

IN LIMITED RELEASE! there are kids who are retarded, girls who are missing limbs, and one young man whose skin blisters and falls off when touched. The footage of these children isn’t always pleasant to watch, but it’s my feelings toward the family that really started to bother me…

Channel 101 in Los Angeles has been inviting filmmakers to create a five minute pilot to the show of their dreams to be possibly screened at one of their live events.

2.5 Stars
Year Released: 2003
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 99 minutes

IN THEATERS! With “The Haunted Mansion,” Eddie Murphy continues in a long line of family film stinkers. This era in his career is going to be remembered for movies that come and go without much note. Eddie better start reading his scripts better and picking his projects with some more integrity or he’ll end up like Kevin Costner…

LAIR OF THE SCHLOCK WORM

Any words of advice for indie filmmakers? Well, I suspect a lot of people wouldn’t want to work like we do. But, if someone out there really wants to make a movie for under $500, I can tell you our secret. Only work with what you’ve got. Don’t write your script and then try to [...]

LAIR OF THE SCHLOCK WORM

Did you design the DVD for Stabbing yourself? I can’t imagine you were responsible for the artwork – I thought for sure I was going to be stuck with a “Scream” parody. Gah! The “Scream” parody. No, we had nothing to do with the cover design. Sub Rosa sent us the artwork after it had [...]

LAIR OF THE SCHLOCK WORM

In the middle of shooting Stabbing, one of your actors moved to another state, leaving no forwarding address and no phone number he could be reached at. Great story. Got any others? Yes, in fact, I do, but first I feel I should give a slight correction on the Jack Shreck story. He did not [...]

THE BOOTLEG FILES: “THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL”

Here is what can be disclosed: Chewbacca’s family consists of his wife Malla (wearing an apron to designate her femininity), his father Itchy (a stooped, grey Wookie) and his son Lumpy (a mini-Wookie showing early signs of a weight problem). Roughly five minutes at the start of “The Star Wars Holiday Special” is spent with [...]

THE BOOTLEG FILES: “THE STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL”

The recent death of Art Carney found obituaries citing the beloved actor’s triumphant work in films (his Oscar-winning “Harry and Tonto”), theater (as Felix Unger in the original Broadway production of “The Odd Couple”) and, of course, television (as the immortal Ed Norton on “The Honeymooners”). Strangely, most obituaries failed to mention his performance as [...]
