A provocative quote in the Atlantic Monthly stating “You can learn more about America watching one half-hour of Let’s Make a Deal than watching [CBS Evening News anchorman] Walter Cronkite for a month” probably was the inspiration for Deal (1978), a feature-length documentary on the iconically ’70s game show, where contestants dressed in wild costumes hoping for a chance to trade innocuous items (”from aardvarks to zithers”) for valuable merchandise hidden behind three curtains while avoiding “zonks” of worthless junk.*
Directed by E.J. Vaughn and John Schott, in collaboration with cinematographer Robert Young, Deal was described by Film Comment’s Amos Vogel as “hilarious, horrifying, apoplectic, bizarre, [it] attempts nothing less t…Read the entire review

You have to give Canadian filmmaker Brett Kelly credit. It’s not every struggling artist who would allow his less than successful efforts to see the light of day, let alone permit them to be marketed as clever, campy comedies. As a director, Kelly conforms to the 50/50 school of cinematic savants. On the one hand, he has made some excellent outsider efforts (My Dead Girlfriend, The Feral Man). But then there are those films that should have stayed under wraps (the rather weak Bonesetter series), viewed only by those with a real passion for the man’s past catalog. In this regard, Tempe has released The Spacemen and Go-Go Girls Double Feature, a DVD showcasing two of Kelly’s short schlock homages. While weak in execution, there is still something strangely likable about this pair of peculiar efforts.

The three Daimajin films that came out of Daiei’s studio in the late sixties are an interesting mix of period samurai drama and the type of monster mash mayhem that Kaiju fans enjoy. Unique in that they play around with Japanese folk legends rather than opt for a sci-fi style creature feature, the trilogy was set in feudal times and as such they were period films shot mostly on soundstages and sets. Although each of the movies would introduce various human elements, the real reason to watch these films was for the final act where inevitably the Daimajin or Giant Majin, would come to live and smite those who angered him. AIP’s television department bought the American broadcast rights to the first two films in the series in the late sixties and had the films dubbed into English by professional voice actors so that they’d appeal to their target demographic kids. They were…Read the entire review

Wanderlust, an IFC/Netflix documentary chronicling the “road picture” genre in movies, works in fits and starts, particularly when it sticks to letting actual clips from celebrated road films speak for themselves. But gradually, the documentary becomes less and less interesting as the generalities and cliches pile up, bogging down in its own one-sided aesthetic and political viewpoints.

Wanderlust works best when it lets the films discussed, speak for themselves. Generous clips from movies as diverse as The Grapes of Wrath, Detour and Vanishing Point more than get across their own points about America’s restless love affair with the road, with freedom, and with speed. Unfortunately, the directors of Wanderlust, Robert Pulcini and Shari S…Read the entire review

It’s about time that the mainstream recognizes the efforts of Luke and Andy Campbell. Since the late ’90s, these Ohio adolescents, working with a gang of pals under the Splatter Rampage Productions moniker (now Compound Films), have created some of the cleverest, most endearing homemade horror/comedy mash-ups in all of the outsider oeuvre. Beginning with their pro wrestling homage (the truly insane Splatter Rampage Wrestling) and working through a hilarious serial killer spoof (Midnight Skater) and a slightly more serious teen melodrama monster movie (Demon Summer), the boys have benefited from smart scripting, appealing amateur performances, and a real feel for how movies are made. Now comes their most ambitious project yet, the gang vs. zombie spectacle called The Red Skulls. Representing a real growth in the guy’s cinematic language, there is still …Read the entire review
