Night Flight - Short Cuts: "Frank Zappa"
-
Circa 1986, this Night Flight Short Cut captures Frank Zappa at the height of the PMRC controversy, challenging censorship, and arguing that every form of music has a right to exist:  "If you can't have it in every degree from the cheesiest to the most exalted because they all need to exist together. Without Louie Louie, a symphony is not quite so grand."
Beyond The 7th Door
-
More than 30 years later, it remains one of the most ambitious, sought-after and totally bizarre low-budget Canadian features of all: Yugoslavian-born actor Lazar Rockwood in a debut performance Canuxploitation.com calls "creepy, astonishingly uncharismatic, and displaying a complete disregard for the craft of acting" is Boris, an ex-con and career thief who convinces his ex-girlfriend (Bonnie Beck) to help him rob her wealthy boss' castle. But when Boris discovers that the eccentric millionaire has booby-trapped the building, they'll have to survive six riddle-triggered rooms of homicidal mayhem in order to claim the treasure. Writer/director (and future best-selling religious thriller author) B.D. Benedikt made his unforgettable filmmaking debut with this bottom-shelf VHS classic.

Desperate Teenage Lovedolls
-
REMASTERED: David Markey's Desperate Teenage Lovedolls chronicles the rise and fall of the fictitious all girl band, the Lovedolls. "Kind of an all-girl Spinal Tap" said the Los Angeles Reader at the time of release. The positive critical response didn't stop there. "This is worthy of a Joan Crawford vehicle" chimed The Village Voice. Made on a micro-budget and cast with members of the Los Angeles punk scene (Redd Kross, Black Flag etc.), shot guerrilla-style on the streets of Hollywood and Santa Monica and Venice. This was a true Do-It-Yourself effort, made for the ragged fellow travelers on the scene at the time.
