Decompositions
Carl F Gauze takes an armchair tour through old Atlanta, courtesy of Zeus Henderson's super-8 camera.
Iron Man
X-ray vision is pretty useful, and the Batmobile is one sweet ride, but there's something about a high-flying, heavily-armored man with a drinking problem that really captures Steve Stav's imagination.
Life is Worth Losing
Did you know that George Carlin is the world's greatest rapper? Tim Wardyn found out on Carlin's latest DVD, Life is Worth Losing. He also discovered three dirty words people don't use enough and why The All-Suicide Channel would actually work.
School of Senses (Йrzйkek iskolбja)
An illicit romance goes horribly wrong in this Hungarian film, but the sex scenes are great. For lovers, enthuses Carl F Gauze.
The Gay Deceivers
Two friends avoid the draft in Vietnam by pretending to be gay, all while fending off the advances of their landlord and a nosy Mr. Furleyesque draft board member, in this late 60s comedy. Scott Adams is drafted into watching this for us. Sadly, no deferments here!
Tragic Ceremony
Carl F Gauze wanted atmospheric horror, instead he got a straight-faced version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. When faced with this, does he moan about the truncated gore, or compliment the pre-disco fashions? Read on...
Vera
A Mayan villager is killed in a mining accident and enters a surreal journey thorough the afterlife, ultimately resolving his life and death. Carl F Gauze finds here that Francisco Athié has revitalized the art of the surrealist film.
