"Seven meets Paranormal Activity." -- Independent Film Quarterly

LOS ANGELES - Feb. 1, 2009 - Three strangers. One killer. Find out who will live and who will die when 13teen slays DVD Feb. 16 from North American Motion Pictures.

Emeryville: population 73,250, including one feared serial killer on the loose who carves the number 13 into his victims' chests.

Sara is home alone on a stormy night when there is a knock at the door. Andrew, a real estate consultant, has stopped by regarding the sale of her house. Problem is, the house isn't for sale. Against her better judgment, she grants Andrew shelter from the rain.

But tension builds as Andrew, talking about his impending custody battle for his daughter, becomes more and more agitated. Sara finds herself in possible peril, until there is another knock at the door. John, a scripture-quoting home security technician, has stopped by to fix a fuse. But he may not be all he seems when a knife is found in his bag.

Cautious cat-and-mouse play ensues as the trio tries to determine just who the true threat is, while a surprise twist leaves you wondering just who it is that really needs to be saved …

13teen is presented in widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and 2.0 stereo. Special features include stills gallery and closed captioning.

To support the title in the marketplace, NAMP has announced a retail promotion: Buy three DVDs of 13teen and receive one free Blu-ray disc of the film (Blu-ray available only through this promotional offer).

BIG GUNS!! FAST CARS!! GIRLS GALORE!! -- "BITCH SLAP" On DVD March 2

The Jaw-Dropping and Outrageous Unrated Bitch-Sploitation DVD Hits On March 2 From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

LOS ANGELES, CA. – (Jan. 12, 2010) – Unlike any “B” movie ever seen! Assume the position and prepare to get slapped as bodacious bad girls, fervent brawls and slow-motion cat fights explode in the adrenaline-fueled, deliciously over-the-top Bitch Slap, coming to Unrated DVD March 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Trixie, Hel and Camero may look good on the outside, but they’re nothing but badass on the inside. When the tempting trio arrive in the desert to retrieve stolen jewels at a ruthless gangster’s hideout, they find themselves competing against an assortment of bizarre criminals – and each other. But what else can one expect from a down-on-her luck stripper, a drug-running killer and a ball-busting businesswoman? Bounding with violence and excess galore, Bitch Slap is a wildly explosive tribute to the sensationalistic style of the cult exploitation genre and a modern throwback to the “B” movie film genre.

The audacious and excessive action flick stars a sexy young cast, including Julia Voth, Erin Cummings, America Olivo, alongside tenacious cameos by Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Michael Hurst (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”) and Renee O’Connor (“Xena: Warrior Princess”). Already boasting a cult fan following and a #1 trailer spot on Hulu, the Bitch Slap Unrated DVD includes commentary by cast and crew and a behind-the-scenes documentary featurette and will be available for the suggested retail price of $22.98 U.S. Prebook is February 3.

Love is Hell … and Hell is Funny! -- "LO" on DVD January 9th

SKD USA Proudly Presents Award-Winning Comedy-Horror Flick "LO" Possessing DVD Feb. 9th

Feb. 1, 2010 - One man's love is put to the ultimate test in Lo, raising hell on DVD Feb. 9 from SKD USA (Distributed by Entertainment One).

Love is a tricky little devil, one with the power to command great sacrifice from those it touches. Enter Justin (Ward Roberts, My Big Fat Independent Movie, Dreamland, Doomed), a loser whose most exciting moment in any given day is the house salad/no dressing he orders on his lunch break from corporate HateMyJob.

But when a bizarre and curiously naïve woman named April (Sarah Lassez, The Brothel, Nowhere, In Pursuit, Mad Cowgirl) enters his life, he is forever changed. Suddenly the world is bright and full of hope and nothing could ever change … until April is mysteriously kidnapped by demons.

Finding an ancient spell book among April's things, Justin summons the demon Lo (Jeremiah Birkett, Evan Almighty, L.A. Confidential) to try and get her back. While Justin tries to keep control of the demon, Lo has other plans for the tasty human who sits mere inches away. From singing demons to talking hands, dancing bartenders and human-sized rats, Justin's love is put to the ultimate test-not to mention Lo's ego.

Co-stars Devin Barry (Adam and Eve, the upcoming National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus).

Directed by Travis Betz, Lo was a winner at the 2009 Las Vegas International Film Festival, 2009 Honolulu International Film Festival and 2009 Shriekfest Film Festival and was an official selection at the 2009 Austin Film Festival, 2009 Boston Underground Film Festival, 2009 Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival and 2009 Indianapolis International Film Festival.

ACCORDING TO GRETA -- DVD review by porfle

ACCORDING TO GRETA (2009) would seem to be a half-hearted "take me seriously" film for Hilary Duff, but as she takes a step into grown-up dramatic territory she still has one foot firmly planted in the world of poppy teen angst a la Disney, and the two sensibilities come together like ice cream and cigarettes.

Greta (Duff) is sent to live with her Grams and Gramps in Jersey for the summer so that her neglectful mom can get her third marriage started off right. From the git-go, the surly and resentful Greta finds the old folks' sedate lifestyle intolerable and chafes at being expected to adhere to any kind of discipline. This leads to various kinds of trouble, including nocturnal visits from the police and a "cry for help" suicide attempt or two, until finally one of the oldsters can't take it any more and keels over.

My main problem with the film is the title character. Rather than simply being cutely misunderstood, Greta is selfish, antisocial, and stupid, and I didn't like her. Her surly and dismissive attitude gets old quick, whether directed at her likable, well-meaning grandparents or the patrons at the restaurant where she actually bullies the boss into hiring her. We're supposed to buy the idea that her foul-tempered hostility proves irresistibly charming to the people she waits on, some of whom return specifically to enjoy being subjected to it again.

As Greta continues to flaunt her grandparents' good graces and push the buttons of those around her we're meant to excuse her behavior out of sympathy, which eventually proves too much effort to bother with. She's so single-mindedly hostile and inconsiderate to others that we're unable to relate to her either as a realistic character or as a humorously mixed-up "Alice Upside-Down" type--complete with a cutely cartoony diary that she records her self-indulgent thoughts in--especially when she's wallowing in pretend-suicidal angst.

Hilary gives it the old college try but fails to bring much depth to a role that really doesn't have any written into it. Evan Ross fares well as her would-be boyfriend Julie, a cook at the restaurant who takes a fancy to her and tries to help her shape up. Michael Murphy and Ellen Burstyn are a couple of old pros who manage to make Grams and Gramps fairly interesting characters. Burstyn, especially, brings her considerable talent to bear in giving her scenes some emotional heft. Entering the story toward the end, Melissa Leo of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and RIGHTEOUS KILL scores points as Greta's screwed-up mom.

The DVD from Anchor Bay is in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Surround 5.1 and English and Spanish subtitles. Extras include a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted and alternate scenes, and an alternate ending.

When Greta's irresponsible mom finally shows up and threatens to ship her away to a "boot camp" while she runs off to frolic with her third husband, we're given a good indication of why Greta's so messed up. But it isn't enough to make us care much about a character who is this big of a jerk, even when she undergoes the usual eleventh-hour transformation into a better person. With an abrupt resolution that's pretty hard to swallow, ACCORDING TO GRETA is an odd mix of ingredients that comes off half-baked.

ACCORDING TO GRETA -- DVD review by porfle

Carter Steven's Guide To TCM This Week (1/3-1/8)!

Week 2

3 Sunday

10:00 AM Americanization of Emily, The (1964) A British war widow falls for an opportunistic American sailor during World War II. Cast: James Garner, Julie Andrews, Melvyn Douglas. Dir: Arthur Hiller. BW-115 mins, TV-14, CC, Letterbox Format

One of the greatest anti war films ever made with dialog that could only have come from the nimble pen of Paddy Chayefsky who could write speeches that sounded like conversations.

4 Monday

4:15 PM My Favorite Year (1982) A flamboyant star throws a TV comedy show into chaos. Cast: Peter O'Toole, Mark Linn-Baker, Jessica Harper. Dir: Richard Benjamin. C-92 mins, TV-14, CC, Letterbox Format

A very funny “Jewish” comedy. Peter O'Toole plays a not very subtle version of Errol Flynn, Mark Linn-Baker an homage to Mel Brooks and with Joseph Bologna in a not very veiled portrayal of Sid Ceaser that almost steals the picture. Lainie Kazan plays the ultimate 50s New York Jewish Mother who is one RCH away from being a horrible stereotype except she is so spot on. First time or fortieth it's still a freakin' funny picture.

5 Tuesday

5:00 AM D.O.A. (1950) The victim of a slow-acting poison tracks down his own killer. Cast: Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Luther Adler. Dir: Rudolph Mate. BW-84 mins, TV-14

The plot summery says it all. Crank up that TiVo.

3:45 PM Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) An aging couple's liberal principles are tested when their daughter announces her engagement to a black doctor. Cast: Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn, Sidney Poitier. Dir: Stanley Kramer. C-108 mins, TV-PG, CC, Letterbox Format

NOT a great picture but worth watching just for the acting lesson of a (in real life) dying Spencer Tracy who shows how it's supposed to be done. On second thought just catch the last 15 minutes for Tracy's speech and Hepburn's tearful look.

7 Thursday

3:15 PM Back From Eternity (1956) When an airliner crashes in the jungle, the repaired plane can only hold five of the survivors. Cast: Robert Ryan, Anita Ekberg, Rod Steiger. Dir: John Farrow. BW-97 mins, TV-PG, CC

Never seen it, never heard of it but an interesting cast. I'm going to catch it.

8 Friday

Friday is Elvis day on TCM. Boy that man could sing, but the only film of his worth watching, King Creole isn't among the selections. (except for Viva Las Vegas at 6:15 which is only worth watching to ogle Ann-Margret)

10:00 PM Elvis: That's The Way It Is 2001 (2001) Restored version of the King's classic Vegas concert film. Cast: Elvis Presley. Dir: Denis Sanders. C-96 mins, TV-14, CC, Letterbox Format

I prefer the slim leather clad Elvis of the Comeback Special but even the Vegas Elvis is worth a listen.

FALLING UP -- DVD review by porfle

You know how sometimes you're hungry for a sandwich but you don't feel like going to the trouble of making one so you just settle for a piece of bread instead? FALLING UP (2009) is the cinematic equivalent of that piece of bread. (You can quote me on that.)

Joseph Cross (RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, MILK) plays Henry O'Shea, a nursing student who must leave school and get a job as a doorman in a ritzy Park Avenue apartment building to support his family after his father suffers a handball fatality. Sounds great already, but the part that must've really sold this premise to the backers comes when Henry uses his CPR training to save not only the resident blatantly-gay couple's dog, but also the boyfriend of a pretty young rich babe named Scarlett Dowling (Sarah Roemer, WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY, DISTURBIA) after he snorts too much coke during her 21st birthday party and has a seizure.

Henry's a hero to everyone in the building except snooty Mrs. Dowling (former Mrs. Tom Cruise, Mimi Rogers), who is horrified to discover that her daughter has become smitten with this common doorman and has him fired after they go out together. Well, there are certain things ya just know are going to happen in a rom-com situation like this, right? And they do. The end.

This is one of those perky and vaguely quirky little comedies that doesn't want to work up a sweat by being really funny, so it settles for cute. It's not so bad once you've settled into it, but once the plot gets going everything plops into place like one of those Playskool jigsaw puzzles with four or five pieces. The mildly amusing antics that we get seem to be acting as a placeholder for when the real comedy shows up, which it never does. Basically, FALLING UP is just a series of slightly amusing situations that never really amount to anything--it would probably have a heart attack if it turned a corner and ran into NIGHT SHIFT with Michael Keaton.

Scarlett, naturally, is fascinated by their cute new doorman right off the bat and, despite being a beautiful young girl with loads of money, seems wide open for business in the romance department. Which is exactly the way things like that never work out in real life but always do in chipper little romantic comedies. Sure, she's got a boyfriend, but "Buck" is a substance-abusing snob whose days are numbered as soon as Scarlett gets a load of Henry's blue-collar poor-guy charm.


The supporting cast boasts a few veterans who do what they can with their characters, including an under-utilized Joe Pantoliano as Henry's abrasive boss George and Annette O'Toole as his ditzy mom, who fits into her new job in a porno shop like she was working at an EZ Mart. Rachael Leigh Cook (BLONDE AMBITION, JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS) walks a lot of dogs as Henry's matchmaking sister, while Mimi Rogers as Scarlett's mom does the usual rich-bitch routine. Cross and Roemer are adequate but make pretty unexciting leads. Snoop Dogg, as Henry's slacker co-worker Raul, predictably seems rather blase' about the whole thing.

Production values are pretty good and director David M. Rosenthal does a capable but unremarkable job. The musical score by Mark Mothersbaugh sounds more like a string of bad MIDIs than something written by one of the masterminds behind Devo, with the occasional sappy emo ballad thrown in for effect.

The DVD from Anchor Bay is in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Surround 2.0 and English subtitles. The sole extra is an unilluminating three-minute peek behind-the-scenes.

Like a candy bar that doesn't have enough nuts in it, FALLING UP is pleasant but singularly unrewarding. Even when it tries to work up a little GRADUATE-style vibe at the end, it just doesn't have the heart to do anything that might seem too impolite. The fadeout, which comes at such an abruptly non-climactic moment that I could almost hear Marge Simpson saying "Whaaa?", wants to be a fist-in-the-air moment but barely manages a limp pinky.

Carter Steven's Guide To TCM This Week (12/29-1/1)!

HK and CULT FILM NEWS brings you a new weekly series, where acclaimed American film director and avid Turner Classic Movie fan Carter Stevens brings you his recommendations on what to watch on TCM and why. We hope you enjoy this new series and thank Carter Stevens for taking time out to give us his recommendations.

Tue December 29, 2009

7:00am High Noon (1952)
A retired Marshal must defend his town from a revengeful villain.
Cast: Gary Cooper, Thomas Mitchell, Lloyd Bridges, Katy Jurado Dir: Fred Zinnemann BW-85 mins, TV-PG

This one is for the TiVo or VCR. Too damn early to watch live. One of the greatest westerns ever with a score I dare you to try to forget. Gary Cooper at his lone hero standing against evil best.

10:30am Cameraman, The (1928)
In this silent film, a photographer takes up newsreel shooting to impress a movie queen.
Cast: Buster Keaton, Marceline Day, Harold Goodwin, Sidney Bracy Dir: Edward Sedgwick BW-76 mins, TV-G

Not my favorite Keaton by far but come on the hero is a movie Camerman how could I not recommend it.

8:00pm On The Waterfront(1954)
A young stevedore takes on the mobster who rules the docks.
Cast: Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Lee J. Cobb, Rod Steiger Dir: Elia Kazan BW-108 mins, TV-PG

I coulda been somebody, I coulda been a contender, instead of a bum, which is what I am. No Charlie it was you. Brando and Steiger out methoding each other and as legend has it improvising one of the greatest dramatic scenes in film.

2:15am Ice Station Zebra (1968)
A sub commander on a perilous mission must ferret out a Soviet agent on his ship.
Cast: Rock Hudson, Ernest Borgnine, Patrick McGoohan, Jim Brown Dir: John Sturges C-152 mins, TV-PG

I love this film. I don't know why. Maybe because I saw it in Cinerama when it opened. The Avatar of it's day.

Wed December 30, 2009

12:45pm Battle Circus (1953)
A doctor fights for his life during the Korean War.
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, June Allyson, Keenan Wynn, Robert Keith Dir: Richard Brooks BW-90 mins, TV-PG

M.A.S.H. ... first draft.

1:30am Caine Mutiny, The (1954)
Naval officers begin to suspect their captain of insanity.
Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Jose Ferrer, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurray Dir: Edward Dmytryk C-125 mins, TV-PG

Just in case you thought Humphrey Bogart was NOT really an “actor.” and just a “star”

Thu December 31, 2009

7:00AM to 8:00 PM Alfred Hitchcock all day and then from 8:00PM to 6:45AM the next morning The Thin Man

If you're the kind who stays in on New Years eve TCM has a movie for you.

Fri January 1, 2010

8:30am Anatomy Of A Murder (1959)
A small-town lawyer gets the case of a lifetime when a military man avenges an attack on his wife.
Cast: James Stewart, Lee Remick, Ben Gazzara, Arthur O'Connell Dir: Otto Preminger BW-161 mins, TV-PG

If you can even open your eyes New Years day watch the greatest courtroom drama ever filmed. And watch famous lawyer Joseph Welch teach all those high falutin' actors a thing a two about acting from the bench.

3:00pm Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The (1962)
An experienced gunman and a peace-loving tenderfoot clash with a Western bully.
Cast: James Stewart, John Wayne, Vera Miles, Lee Marvin Dir: John Ford BW-123 mins, TV-14

Read that cast list and the director. What more needs to be said.

GHOST MACHINE -- DVD review by porfle

Another in the ever-growing line of virtual reality thrillers, GHOST MACHINE (2009) is well-made and fun to watch. While it never completely scores a bullseye as an action-adventure or as a scary movie, at least it isn't yet another dumb slasher flick.

Geek dreamgirl Jess (Rachael Taylor, who has great eyebrows), a beautiful but tough blonde trying to get into the British Army's special forces, has been training inside a new virtual-reality program designed to place the participant into flawlessly convincing battle situations. The gizmo's head technician, Tom (Sean Faris, PEARL HARBOR), is a young American computer genius who "borrows" the equipment for a little personal gaming with his pals, including Jess' boyfriend Vic (Luke Ford of THE MUMMY: TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR), brash pubcrawler Benny (Jonathan Harden), and Iain (Sam Corry, "The Clinic"), a security guard at the spooky old abandoned prison where their night of computer fun is to take place.

A series of sensors mounted at points throughout the prison map the environment for use in the game. Unbeknownst to the lads, however, is the presence of a malevolent ghost--the spirit of a female terrorist who was tortured to death during questioning by the military in the prison's dark, spooky basement--who enters the gaming environment along with them. Prisoner K (Hatla Williams), as she is known, is able to totally control the game, and through it, the players' minds. And whatever happens to them in the game manifests itself physically, so they're in a heap of trouble.

The VR warfare scenes are well done without leaning too heavily on the simulated-videogame-graphics look--the effect is achieved mainly through jittery camerawork and editing, and intentionally obvious computer-generated blood splatter. I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little tired of the "first person shooter" thing, which is thankfully missing here. After awhile, the emphasis shifts away from this angle anyway when members of the group get lost in the program and Jess and Vic must enter the game to try and locate them before Prisoner K gets her mitts on them. Some late revelations about the nature of the game itself and Tom's motives for having them participate in it keep things fairly intriguing.

As Tom, Sean Faris has the sort of shark-like expression one associates with a cocky young Tom Cruise, which fits his cold and devious character well. The rest of the cast does a good job, especially Rachael Taylor as Jess. She's believable as a semi-tough soldier without having to act like Xena. Richard Dormer adds quite a bit of tension to the proceedings as stiff-necked military ogre Taggert, who not only sexually harasses Jess but eventually discovers the location of the illicit gaming session and throws a monkey wrench into everything. Lovely Hatla Williams doesn't have much to do as Prisoner K besides lurk around acting creepy but she's pretty good at it.

The DVD from Anchor Bay is in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen with Dolby Surround 5.1 and English subtitles. Extras include a making-of featurette, an interview with writer Sven Hughes, and a trailer.

The finale of GHOST MACHINE turns into a bit of a bad-CGI fest, but the story's interesting enough to make up for it and there's a nice twist ending that might remind you of David Cronenberg's EXISTENZ. This movie probably won't blow your socks off or anything, but it's a worthy effort and chances are you'll find it fairly entertaining as long as you don't go into it expecting a terrifying ghost story, a pulse-pounding action flick, or THE MATRIX.
