Rising Son – The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi – Review

May 11, 2007

His story is one of dreams, heartbreak, adrenaline, and legend. Out of prison and drug-free, Hosoi has gotten back to pro skating, when not doing pastor work.

Savage Harvest – Review

July 7, 2006

A nice, dripping-screwdriver-to-the-forehead stabbing, a penetrating tongue encounter, and a cool vulture demon who sneaks mouthfuls of people’s entrails.

Kiss – Rock The Nation Live – Review

May 5, 2006

A no-nonsense live DVD of a pretty damn inspiring Kiss show. The stage set is classy and modern. Paul and Gene take their responsibilities seriously.

X – The Unheard Music – Review

April 28, 2006

Hands down my favorite rock bio/movie. Even if you’re not a fan, this’ll tell you a ton about the record industry, rock music, punk rock, and the spirit of DIY.

Henry Rollins – Shock & Awe – Review

April 28, 2006

Edgeplay – A Film about The Runaways – Review

June 13, 2005

A great movie. Being in their mid-teens, female, and not known to each other before the band’s creation was tough enough. Add ass-nut Kim Fowley to the mix.

Ramones- Raw – Review

March 7, 2005

The live footage varies drastically in quality, but the good stuff is tremendous. Other footage, casting a light into the band’s personal life, is boring.

Bikini Bandits Experience – Review

May 23, 2004

I didn’t need the cover art to tell me that MTV had something to do with this. It’s precisely the kind of self-conscious, slumming, incomprehensible attempt at “hipness” they’re constantly trying to sell.

Coroner’s Corner – Column

May 23, 2004

Eclectic DVD has tracked down some rare prints for us true fans. While many of their releases may be lacking the extras and commentaries we’ve begun to expect, at least the effort is there.

February 2, 2004

We’re taken through each film, with comments by actors, directors, Satanists, and other experts. Circumstances about the infamous “Omen Curse” are addressed.
