DUEL (DVD)
|
  Year Released: 1971 MPAA Rating: PG Running Time: 90 minutes |
Par for the course, there is no commentary track from Spielberg, but in its place we do get three terrific documentaries made exclusively for the DVD that provide fascinating insight into the making of the TV movie…

|
  Year Released: 1961 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 87 minutes |

SUSPECT ZERO
|
  Year Released: 2004 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 99 minutes |
IN THEATERS! If you dream up an implausible idea for a movie, that’s fine, you just have to wrap so many plausible details around it that the audience will suspend their disbelief and buy it. “Suspect Zero” makes no effort at this whatsoever. It assumes that copying the look and feel of other, better films like “Silence of The Lambs” or “Seven” will be enough…

THE MEDIUM (DVD)
|
  Year Released: 1951 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 80 minutes |
Opera lovers will happily drink in Menotti’s sublime music. But perhaps it is better to buy a CD soundtrack or to seek out a live performance of “The Medium” than to experience this uneven movie misfire…

FROM SPONGEBOB TO MORRISSEY – ANDREW OVERTOOM WORKS WITH THE BEST
How did you cast your film? I used a lot of cast and crew from “Spongebob” — I’m a big John Waters fan and I love how he cast his early films by just using the big personalities he had around him. So I went for the same thing, which is why so many people [...]

FROM SPONGEBOB TO MORRISSEY – ANDREW OVERTOOM WORKS WITH THE BEST
Well, Andrew hasn’t really worked with Morrissey, you know – the mopey guy from The Smiths, but he has worked with Spongebob. He spent time at Nickelodeon as an animation director on “Spongebob Squarepants” before deciding to take the plunge into feature film directing. And that’s where Morrissey comes in…

THE BOOTLEG FILES: “BUSCH ADVERTISING 1967″
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the good folks at Anheuser-Busch decided to oomph up their industrial films with Hollywood star talent. Jack Benny, Johnny Carson and even Bette Davis were brought in to star in promotional films designed exclusively for the Anheuser-Busch distributors. The films were never meant to be seen by the [...]

EXCESS HOLLYWOOD: SEX IN THE CINEMA
There are some sexy films that come from this country, but most of the stuff meant to be “erotic” is painful to watch. A bare breast here. A hint of sadism there. Maybe a casual line about a blow job. Yawn…

ENTER THE DEN OF SIN: MEIKO KAJI KICKS SUPREME ASS
Three weeks later we reconvened to show “Female Prisoner #701” and “Female Slave Ship” and were greeted with hugs by our buddy Graeme because he had missed movie nights so much while we’d been gone. It was a good crowd with 12 people in attendance although we almost booted Bob for his lack of cell [...]
