One of the funniest and most original films of the year, this absurd and surreal comedy from acclaimed director Roy Andersson takes an amusing left-of-centre look at a delightfully eccentric assortment of characters. Through a series of brilliantly entertaining sketches, Andersson observes with empathy and wry humour the highs, lows and tragicomic happenings that affect their everyday lives. Shot with highly distinctive visual flair, this unique and universally resonant snapshot of modern life is both touching and laugh-out- loud hilarious

His disapproving Father (Don Creech) wants him to minister as he did 2000 years ago. The Antichrist, in the guise of the New York City Park's Commissioner (Samuel Bruce Campbell), resurrects a legion of famous sinners to destroy him. And when the beautiful seamstress Molly (Celia A. Montgomery) tempts Ultrachrist with Earthly love, his own inner hang-ups guarantee that redemption will not come easily.

HEAVY METAL PARKING LOT is considered one of the greatest rock & roll movies of all time, although it's actually a hilarious documentary tribute to rock & roll's GREATEST FANS. Filmed in 1986 at a Maryland concert arena parking lot before a heavy metal show, HMPL is an unvarnished anthropological study of American metalheads in their mid-'80s glory. It is the quintessential '80s magnum opus, made complete with a vast display of muscle cars, spandex, bleach-blonde frizzy perms, bare-chested dudes, Mullets From Hell, faded denim metal chicks, and the largest collection of late '70s Camaros ever seen in one location. Virtually unknown to mainstream audiences for two decades, HMPL was a VHS bootleg favorite among musicians, movie stars and cult-video fanatics worldwide. This limited-edition DVD includes a pristine digital-video transfer of the original uncut 16-minute documentary, plus over two hours of exclusive content! Viewer discretion: explicit language, drug references and loud music.

So begins the otaku reign of Eriko Sato as anime's most buxom babe-android crime fighter, CUTIE HONEY! In this live-action adaptation, Sato portrays Honey Kisaragi, mild mannered Tokyo office lady by day. But when evil is afoot, Honey loads up on musubis for that last jolt of energy, touches her fly choker and (in true Shazam! style), screams those magic words and transforms into Cutie Honey! Evil comes in the form of the fabulous, semi-cross-dressing "Panther Claw" Gang, who kidnaps Honey's eccentric scientist uncle. Sato was clearly hired for her "assets" that contribute to the full embodiment of her character, but she does bring a sense of innocence and comic timing that raises the film above the genre. Is it hentai? Hardly. But you do get a visually stunning action comedy that easily transfers the tropes of anime into the live-action realm, borrowing motifs from henshin heroes of yore. Oh yeah, and Cutie Honey's hot!

Mystery Science Theater 3000- 20th Anniversary Edition” is a must own DVD set. It’s been over a year since it was announced that Rhino would no longer be handling “Mystery Science Theater 3000” DVDs and that Shout Factory would be releasing all future sets. Last week, Shout Factory released their first MST3K box set and I have to say it was absolutely worth the wait.
For those who are unaware of what “Mystery Science Theater 3000” is all about, it is a show in which evil scientists torture a helpless janitor (who is aboard a spaceship in deep space) and his robot pals with excruciatingly bad movies. The only way they get through the movies is to make fun of them. Included in this 20th anniversary set are the films “Laserblast,” “Werewolf,” “Future War,” and “First Spaceship On Venus.”
“First Spaceship On Venus” is a second season episode in which Joel Hodgson, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot riff on a dull sci-fi flick that revolves around a group of scientists who head to Venus to discover where a mysterious recording came from. As with most of the early season episodes, the riffing is a bit rough around the edges, but the ending boasts some truly hilarious jokes about Devo, the goofy robot, and so forth. The best part of this episode, however, is the host segments. I really got a kick out of the junk drawer invention exchange and the bizarre/gross dinner commercial of sorts.
The season seven finale episode “Laserblast” finds Mike Nelson, Crow, and Servo blasting apart a schlocky late 70’s science fiction clunker about a small town slacker who finds an alien weapon that transforms him into an alien killing machine. It’s near impossible not to laugh at the gang’s jokes about football, “Star Trek,” film critic Leonard Maltin, Jim Carrey or their mocking of the turtle-like aliens and the dumb cop characters.
As an added note, I must mention that this episode marks Trace Beaulieu’s final appearance as both Dr. Forrester and Crow T. Robot. I thought the “2001” ending was a great send-off myself.
The season nine episode “Werewolf” is hands down the gem of this set, but I may be biased as I am a huge fan of Bill Corbett as Crow. Personally, I find his witty one-liners and joke deliveries to be pitch perfect. His talent is especially evident in this episode in which he, Mike, and Servo trash this so-called horror film by cracking jokes about Joe Estevez, a character’s ever-changing hair styles, the editing, Billy Jack, foreign accents, dogs, and even Steven Tyler. One of the best moments, however, comes during the end credits of the film in which Mike, Crow, and Tom bust out a song medley.
And last, but not least, there is the season ten episode “Future War,” which centers around a slave from future Earth who is being tracked down by dinosaurs and cyborgs (yes, you read that right). While all of the films in this set are terrible, “Future War” is the worst. The movie is plagued by never ending credits, scenes filled with boxes, a Van Damme wannabe, laughable voice overs (and voice dubs), and an overall terrible script. Luckily, Mike, Crow, and Tom manage to make it watchable via their jokes.
“The Best Of Rifftrax Shorts Volume One” will cause fits of laughter. In their first DVD release, “Mystery Science Theater 3000” alumni Michael J. Nelson, Bill Corbett, and Kevin Murphy (AKA the “Rifftrax” gang) mercilessly make fun of 9 shorts titled “Buying Food,” “Drugs Are Like That,” “Right Or Wrong,” “Skipper Learns A Lesson,” “The Trouble With Women,” “Down And Out,” “Patriotism,” “It Must Be The Neighbors,” and a new DVD exclusive short “Shake Hands With Danger.” The shorts include such topics as how to prevent falling, patriotism (obviously), not impulse spending, a dog learning to be nice, moral choices, drug addiction, job safety, sexism and public health issues.
Seeing as how the Sci-Fi channel era of “MST3K” was my favorite, it was a no-brainer that I would find “Rifftrax” funny. I did, however, underestimate how funny it would actually be. While a few shorts are too short and thin in the comedy department (“Patriotism” and “Right Or Wrong”) many of them had me laughing quite a bit. In fact, as I watched “Skipper Learns A Lesson” and “Down And Out,” I was laughing so hard I was crying. For some odd reason, the jokes about sidewalk chalk, a jumpsuit, talking dogs, a racist dog, and Buckwheat really got to me.
One of the other elements I really enjoy about “Rifftrax” is that that Mike and gang are constantly making observations that I myself was thinking. There’s simply no denying the fact that Mike, Kevin and especially Bill are quick witted and know exactly when to crack a joke. Plus, they do it so well!
Note: “Shake Hands With Danger” includes an animated Mike, Bill and Kevin riffing on the short. It’s an interesting experiment, but I can’t say it works entirely well.
The fullscreen video quality is worse than usual. The shorts are in really bad shape and are plagued with lines and severe scratches. Still, it doesn’t really matter as the riffing is what counts here.
As for the video quality, some of the audio tracks for the shorts (namely “Drugs Are Like That”) are in bad shape, but at least the riffing sounds clear as day.
No extras unless you count the odd “Rifftones” songs during the menu.
Summary: “The Best Of Rifftrax Shorts Volume One” is an absolute must buy DVD. I hope we will see many more short film collections in the near future.
The wretched classic “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” is re-riffed just in time for the holidays. For those that have been fortune enough to avoid the actual movie, the plot of “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” revolves around a group of Martians who kidnap Santa Claus (and two Earth children) in order to spread the joy of Christmas to children on Mars. Naturally, the plan turns out to be a big fat failure.
As “Mystery Science Theater 3000” fans know, “Santa Claus Conquers The Martians” was previously riffed on in season 3 of the series. Now, the “Cinematic Titanic” gang has wisely decided to re-riff the movie in time for the holiday season. As it turns out, the second time is a charm as the riffs here are even sharper and funnier than the “MST3K” episode.
What really benefits this ‘Titanic’ release are a host of new jokes about recent celebs (and events) such as Perez Hilton, Comic-Con, Dane Cook and even John McCain again. Naturally, there are also plenty of timeless jokes about booze and religion as well as riffs about the lousy production values, the goofy costumes, and the painfully unfunny comic relief character known as Dropo.
Fans should also know that this ‘Titanic’ release contains a greatly improved new opening that introduces the cast. ‘Martians’ also contains the best sketch to date which sees Joel giving fake silhouette presents to the rest of the gang. Hopefully, we will see more amusing openings and sketches like this in future releases as it certainly makes the DVDs an even more enjoyable experience.
The video quality is hideous as the ‘Martians’ print is filled with scratches, dirt, ad grain. The audio quality is generally fine for both the film and the riffing.
Wholphin No 7 will feature the very accurately titled documentary “The Man Who Eats Badgers,” an Elmore Leonard adaptation, a short film from Richard Kelly, an award-winning stop-motion animation, and a highly controversial interactive scientific experiment in retroactive causality, in which the Wholphin audience, just by watching, will help to determine the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality. The issue will also include much, much more!

Here's a media-archaeological treasure trove of 16mm commercials, PSA�s, and TV ephemera from that delirious decade of polyester and smiley faces. From the classic iconography of the Marlboro Man to the absurd pitches for Jack LaLanne's "Glamour Stretchers", this outrageously retro review of funky, clunky clips offers more than campy fun. In fact, it allows us precious insight into a lost, impossibly innocent world of fondly remembered looks, styles, and attitudes, from way back in the good ol' 20th Century.
70s Remix Curated by Craig Baldwin and Noel Lawrence
The B-side of our disc is an amazing display of "recombinant" editing and audio design. Six of today's savviest celluloid scavengers take disposable industrial and educational films, and recycle them into uncanny collages, from the ridiculous to the sublime.

STREET TRASH is the subversive cult classic horror-comedy that rode the last wave of super-gore in the late '80s before the curtain fell on such outrageous material and we entered an era of safe, 'R' rated horror flicks and endless, unoriginal remakes.
A man pursues stand-up comedy encouraged by his fellow garbage man. Though his friend, who accompanies him on accordion, continues to tell him how great he is, he actually stinks. When the "comedian" grows a third arm out of his back, the friend uses this twist to get him signed up with a sleazy talent agent, and it begins to look like his career is on the move, even though his girlfriend has left him.
Oldie but goodie The VICE GUIDE TO TRAVEL is the first installment in VICE magazine’s new DVD series. The series will feature short documentaries arranged around a different theme.
For this edition we went to the kinds of places that nobody else wants to visit. We traveled to the corners of the world where news is happening, the forgotten locales where strange people and stories lie and where history is being made every day. This is the VICE idea of a vacation.
Rob Reiner’s directorial debut has developed into a cult phenomenon. The film that invented the “rockumentary” has now outlasted most of the bands it mocked. Following the ill-fated American comeback tour of an aging heavy-metal group, this film has joined the ranks of the greatest comedies ever made.
Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) and his wife Etheline (Anjelica Huston) had three children—Chas, Margot, and Richie—and then they separated. Chas (Ben Stiller) started buying real estate in his early teens and seemed to have an almost preternatural understanding of international finance. Margot (Gwyneth Paltrow) was a playwright and received a Braverman Grant of $50,000 in the ninth grade. Richie (Luke Wilson) was a junior champion tennis player and won the U.S. Nationals three years in a row. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. The Criterion Collection is proud to present Wes Anderson’s hilarious, touching, and brilliantly stylized study of melancholy and redemption.
Wes Anderson first illustrated his lovingly detailed, slightly surreal cinematic vision (with cowriter Owen Wilson) in this visually witty and warm portrait of three young misfits. Best friends Anthony (Luke Wilson), Dignan (Owen Wilson), and Bob (Robert Musgrave) stage a wildly complex, mildly successful robbery of a small bookstore, then go “on the lam.” During their adventures, Anthony falls in love with a South American housekeeper, Inez (Lumi Cavazos), and they befriend local thief extraordinaire Mr. Henry (James Caan). Bottle Rocket is a charming, hilarious, affectionate look at the folly of dreamers, shot against radiant southwestern backdrops, and the film that put Anderson and the Wilson brothers on the map.
This is an amazing series created by Sam Keith who re-invented the comic book series 'The Hulk', watching this reminded me of Liquid TV on MTV and how cutting edge that show was in early 90's, what happened MTV??????? also how fantastic comics were in the early 90's look at Macfarlanes spiderman series which is amazing, jim lee and the rise of Image Comics.
If anyone has Liquid TV series 1 and 2 on DVD and wants to sell it please send me an email!!!!!!!!.

I mean, Nostalgia!

In 1995, director Peter Jackson paid a visit to his mother's next-door neighbor and made a shocking discovery that would change the course of film history forever. Here, Jackson would begin to unravel the astonishing legacy of Colin McKenzie, the greatest unknown cinema genius of all time.
Through archive photos, rare film footage and interviews with such experts as critic Leonard Maltin, producer Harvey Weinstein and actor Sam Neill, Jackson and co-director Costa Botes uncover the trials, triumphs and tragedies behind this pioneer's brilliant life and career. These startling achievements include McKenzie's invention of the steam-powered projector, movie sound, color film and pornography, as well as the monumental discovery and restoration of the massive biblical epic that would ultimately destroy him. Nearly 70 years later, his talent can finally be told: This is the truly remarkable-though not entirely true-story of Forgotten Silver.
They Wanted To Be Stars... But Heaven Wouldn't Have Them. Documentary follows three young women as they progress through the adult film industry from taking nude photos to acting in hard core porno movies. Also features major adult film producers, directors and actors.

Remember that wacky southern California religious cult, the Heavens Gate? Remember all the males castrated themselves, and then they all killed themselves with poisoned pudding in order to catch a comet that was passing by that day? Yeah, those guys. Well, here is the tape they used to explain their agenda and prove that they were right and on the right track. The best part about this tape is how so-Cal it is. Instead of declaring their doctrine to be true and fact while damning all other religion and civilization, the leader, Doe, simply says "I'm really sorry about this, but I'm God", more or less. so if you want to spend an hour with a creepy old man who would eventually cut his dick off and end his life while wearing Nike's, then this is right up your alley. Also includes a few ABC reports with cult experts that are even freakier then the members!
To say that "Dunyayi Kurtaran Adam" is the greatest movie of all time, is to imply that other movies can reach the sheer genius of this film. You probably understand all the surface quirks of the film. It is a Turkish film. It is a sci-fi movie that is filmed on a budget which is so low, that one may consider the term shoe-string budget an insult to the tangible value of shoe-strings. In order to duplicate the visual quality offered in American cinema, the director (Celtin Inanc) literally uses (read: steals) film footage from Star Wars and runs it during the film. Unfortunately, sometimes this effect is mildly confusing (the movie begins with the tie fighter sequence but you cannot really tell if the heroes are supposed to be piloting the X-wing fighters OR the tie fighters) to frighteningly moronic (during the final battle, the visuals of the tie fighter sequence flash, almost subliminally across the screen with no rational reason for its use) You should also keep an open ear of the great bootlegged music (only 17 years before the invention of the MP3) that makes up the films brilliant soundtrack. Music from Star Wars, Flash Gordon, and Indiana Jones are used in this film. The highlights of the movie include the final battle that looks like a "Power Rangers" outtakes reel and fantastic martial arts training sequences that make the lead actors look like a couple of out of shape, drunk children. Includes English subtitles
Turkish cinema, gotta love it. Where else in the world can you get copyright infringement films that make you smile from ear to ear? In this film Marvel Comics hero Spiderman becomes a bad guy trying to take over the world. He is battled by Captain America (in possibly the best suit every put on screen) and Santo, the Mexican wrestler and movie star. The action is great as is some of nastiness that Spidey inflicts on his victims (The opening boat propeller to the face is a nice touch). Priceless statues are being stolen all over Istanbuhl(?). Looks like the work of that infamous, murdering Spiderman. The police call in special outside help in Captain America from the United States and the legendary Mexican wrestler Santo. It's anyone's guess why Spidey's turned to a life of crime, what the significance of all the stolen art is, or if those are his bangs or his eyebrows sticking out of the holes in his mask. He's also traded-in his web-shooters for a slick little switch-blade, and can quickly clone himself if he's killed. Captain America is missing his trusty shield and Santo's wrestling skills resemble Flintstone judo. In fact, nothing seems to make sense at all in this live-action cartoon that makes Tim Burton's 'Batman' look as tame as the 60's TV series. Dozens of people are killed needlessly, sudden jump-cuts take you to sleazy strip clubs, and there's a love scene that's interrupted by the Mr. Rogers' puppets. Even worse, it's all in Turkish. No version in English or English subtitles is available. I'm not painting a pretty pictures here, I know. But I can say it is, without a doubt , one of the BIGGEST film oddities the world over
Made in less than a month, this Star Wars rip off was released in Brazil a full 5 months before the original Star Wars hit Brazilian theaters, causing it to be a South American smash hit! Starring the Brazilian 3 Stooges, The Tramps; the film features just about every Star Wars character you can think of; as well as some of the most embarrassingly bad sets, special effects and disco dance numbers you will ever find in a movie. The majority of the movie feels like a throw away Sid & Marty Krofft show; complete with shot on video effects, amazingly retarded monster masks, and astoundingly stupefying musical numbers! A true must see bad movie rarity, and it’s actually much more fun to watch than any of the Star Wars movies. There aren't any subtitles but the "movie" barely has any dialogue anyway.
In the wake of the 'satanistic' hysteria of the 80's and early 90's, Bob Larson jumped on the bandwagon producing this bogus documentary which only succeeded in fanning the pyre of their own false accusations, and ironically contributing to the bright flame of Lucifer that would shine the light of speculation, eventually debunking the whole blindlighter facade.
Amidst a cavalcade of erstwhile 'Satanistic' symbols, Larson presents so-called "satanic survivors" who recount faerie-tales implanted in their minds by Christian the-rapists, which are really reflections into their own nightmarish psyches transferred onto their 'patients' {victims}; Even today, Larson continues to prey upon the gullible with his faux 'exorcisms', labeling childhood traumas 'demons' in a literal context, while siphoning thousands of dollars from his congregation.
Bob Larson is a radio and television evangelist, currently based in Colorado who gets really crazy/emotional about Satan and Christianity. The first episode features Bob going off on the 'evils of Halloween', saying that his daughter got a Halloween toy in a Happy Meal and how evil it is, among other things. At one point a Satanist calls into the show and talks about his new born daughter, the two of them get in a huge argument when Bobby boy tries to pray for it, The 2nd episode has a confessed homo gets up in front of Bob's gathering and Bob exorcises the 'demon of anger' that has caused the man to 'commit abominations'. If you like Christian nuts this guy pretty much takes the cake.
