Tom Stern is one of those comedic geniuses that is always bubbling under the surface of a collective pop culture consciousness. He teamed up with Alex Winter to create the MTV cult show The Idiot Box which led to the feature film Freaked. Since Freaked was badly mishandled by the movie studio, Stern went back to television working on such bizarre shows as Thats My...

I first heard of Terry Zwigoff in the autobiographical stories of Harvey Pekar that were drawn by R. Crumb. I knew he was very into artwork, music and comic books. But I, like many others, didn't really get into him until he directed the documentary, Crumb, in the early 90's. Even though the brilliance of Zwigoff rolled off of that work we didn't get to...

Zwigoff can be as mean to his characters as Todd Solondzthe dramatized painting critiques (in which everyone gets an A) rival the idiocies of the creative-writing class in Solondz's Storytelling. But where Solondz is fastidious in his filmmaking, Zwigoff is indifferentArt School Confidential can be nearly avant-garde in its tone (deaf) shifts and spatial incoherence. And while Solondz's revulsion is cerebral, Zwigoff's is visceral. He may mock body art (along with conceptualism, minimalism, and every other '70s tendency) but his own dyspepsia suggests a kindred gut-based sensibility call it bilious, splenetic, jaundiced.

Zwigoff rules their movie about Robert Crumb is a must see! wink

If it wasn't for the band Celtic Frost, modern extreme metal/rock and roll. The seminal rock and roll is made up of Tom Gabriel Fischer and Martin Eric Ain. They have only put out a small number of albums but their second album, To Mega Therion, had a cover that was a painting by the legendary H.R. Giger. Their last album was released in...

John Gulager came to fame when he was selected to direct the horror movie Feast for the last Project Greenlight project. After an intense screening process, Gulager was eventually championed by the most famous Greenlight producers Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Project Greenlight showed the major trials and tribulations of making a low budget horror film and eventually Gulager rose to the occasion and Feast...

His season of Project Greenlight was the best. I'm glad I taped all the episodes, so I can re-watch the madness over and over again! Ha ha!

I'm glad Gulager got picked out of the finalist - I tend to root for the underdog!

Like so many Japanese horror novels, Parasite Eve has become an industry upon itself. Movies, videogames and comic books have all sprung up but we mustnt forget that Parasite Eve originally came from the mind of horror novelist Hideaki Sena. Sena was originally a science student when he came upon the idea of mitochondria [which contain the genetic material and many enzymes important for cell...

One of my favorite movies of 2005, Wolf Creek, has just been released on DVD in an unrated version. Wolf Creek is a brutal unrelenting horror film with an unusual structure. It spends nearly an entire hour building up the three main characters then the murders begin. Wolf Creek was made with an all Australian cast and crew based on Ivan Milat the infamous...

yeah well done, ofcourse you hate it. the reason why it's so good is coz it (pretty much) actually happened here in Australia, and god forbid, may be still happening. just coz you can't get used to the accents and that it's different to the normal lame shit america produces, doesn't mean it's crap.

John Perkins book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man is the most terrifying book you will ever read. There is no serial killer, no mass murderer, no nuclear apocalypse and no rapists, in fact it is scarier than all those things. The book tells the story of the people who make this world a worse place to live. "Economic hit men," John Perkins writes," are...

Shooter Jennings is part of that new wave of country rock thats been getting real popular lately. Legacies such as Jennings, son of Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams have been burning up the rock clubs lately. Cowboy hats have become a common sight in the East Village of late and thats why Jennings latest album, Electric Rodeo, has become such a big hit.

Buy Electric...
