Screen Reviews
Aaltra
Bob Ham squirms and laughs his way through this surreal comedy about two wheelchair-bound men on the road in Europe.
Golden Days
Andrew Ellis reviews Golden Days, a documentary about NYC band The Damnwells, which expertly brings to life Hunter S Thompson's famous observation about the perils of the music industry.
Obituary: Frozen Alive
Bleuuuuuuurghroarrrr! Matthew Moyer is overjoyed to find Obituary just as primitive and bloodthirsty as when he first heard them, in this recent concert dvd. Change is overrated.
Smash the State: The Raw Original D.O.A.
Despite muffled sound and the occasional camera work that makes your mom's home movies look like Wellesian epics, Andrew Coulon can't help but recommend this compilation of classic footage from Canada's rudest punks.
The Dialogue
Screenwriter John Hamburg discusses his career with host Mike De Luca as part of this dvd interview series with Hollywood's top scribes. Carl F Gauze wants to do lunch.
The Weathered Underground
This new interactive film allows you to choose the path of Eric, a young pizza delivery man. Carl F Gauze is softly cursing himself for continuously cheating on his Choose Your Own Adventure books, many years ago.
Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America
A pseudo pseudo-documentary about aliens living in the hollow earth and their ties to the CIA and Fidel Castro. Carl F Gauze knows for a fact that tinfoil makes the most comfy of hats.
Viva Cuba
Two children run away from their mothers in Havana to save their budding romance; Carl F Gauze advises against an Amber Alert and recommends you settle in and watch this gorgeous near-travelogue through the Cuban countryside.
