CYXORK 7 , the hilarious and inventive movie about making a movie in a fading sci-fi franchise, coming May 15 from Monogram Releasing, is one of the Best Movies of 2008 you’ve never heard of, according to Popmatters and according to me, too. Prolific and amiable writer/director JOHN HUFF gave us the lowdown on this [...]
There are Legends, there are Icons, there are Super-women - and then there is TURA SATANA, the immortal star of Russ Meyer’s masterpiece Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! (1965) as well as many other cult classics, who boldly embodies all three attributes with stunning style, sensuality, wit and strength of character. I am privileged to know [...]
CHIP GUBERA is an educator, filmmaker, zombie song-writer and masked wrestler enabler, not necessarily in that order. In anticipation of the May 8 2009 regional theatrical release of his astounding zombie musical Song of the Dead, we caught up with this multi-talented maven of movie mayhem:
Will the Thrill: The first zombie musical was the late [...]
FRED OLEN RAY is a man of and for the people. People like us.

“These are not my pajamas”

The 60something Mexican icon gained international fame for his innovative wrestling techniques and flamboyant costumes in the ring, as well as for his colorful action film roles, including classics like Las [...]
JEFFREY UHLMANN is not an idiot, to put it plainly. He has a PhD in robot engineering from Oxford (the one over there, yes) and a M.S. in computer science and to top it off, a B.A. from the University of Missouri. So why did I contact him for an interview on a site about [...]

Monica Tiki Goddess, Ted V Mikels, Will the Thrill, Vegas, October 2001
The term “living legend” tends to get overused, but in the case of TED V. MIKELS, it can’t be overstated. Ted is the Energizer Bunny of grindhouse cinema, from the sublime sci-fi schlock of The Astro Zombies to the grrrl powered action of The [...]
This film is one of the UK’s best indie features to come out in a long time, and Guy Ritchie had better watch out - because these guys have got plenty of raw talent to back everything up! Not to sure about the detective character in the film, but then perhaps I am not meant [...]
