DON COSCARELLI – MONSTER MAKER
BEST OF 2004! No doubt you’ve caught wind of the storm blowing across the country called “Bubba Ho-tep.” We caught up with Don Coscarelli to talk with him about the Tall Man and his balls, Kenny and his Company, Elvis and Bubba…and what’s all this talk about “Bubba Sasquatch”?

ROB ZOMBIE AND THE REJECTS
BEST OF 2004! When lunch came and we still hadn’t had one interview yet, it became quiet apparent that press was just a nuisance to everyone, and it probably wasn’t the best day for us to be there. Oh well, fuck it. I drove up to Canyon Country, and I ain’t leavin’ till I get an interview…

A TALE OF TWO SISTERS
|
  Year Released: 2004 MPAA Rating: Unrated Running Time: 114 minutes |
IN LIMITED RELEASE, DECEMBER 17TH! Subtlety. That’s one of the things that really make this one stand out from the pack. “A Tale of Two Sisters” is more of a twisted family drama rather than a shock-filled ghost story. While those shocks and ghosts do exist, they’re very few and far between, but when they strike, they’re major doozies…

SUSAN LOWE: MEMOIRS OF A DREAMLANDER
BEST OF 2004! As Mole McHenry in “Desperate Living,” Susan Lowe scared a lot of teenagers, confused a lot of adults and pissed off a whole lot of lesbians. So it’s a bit surprising that the film, over 25 years later, is featured at many gay film festivals. It is no surprise, however, that Susan became one of John Waters’ most beloved Dreamlanders with her role as the scariest cinematic lesbian ever…

A LOVE SONG FOR BOBBY LONG
|
Year Released: 2004 MPAA Rating: R Running Time: 119 minutes |
IN THEATERS! This touching, beautiful, romantic, and funny film is hampered by nondescript cinematography and boring production design. With New Orleans at the tips of their fingers, the filmmakers lost many chances of using the city itself as a charcter by deciding to ignore the architecture and atmosphere around them…
