Released by: Sony Pictures Classics My Advice: Rent it if it's your thing. Thomas (Donovan) has amnesia. Then he meets up with Isabelle (Huppert). She's an ex-nun who has found her niche writing pornography. She vows to help him find out who he is and how he got amnesia. What he doesn't know is that he is a pornographer who has made his wife, Sophia (Lowensohn), into a world-famous porn queen. It seems she's been running because she thought she killed Thomas. His sordid past, not to mention some bloodthirsty henchmen, are going to go their best to kill him. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

12.24.06 by HTQ4 @ 4:09 am  Film: Written by Gerald Di Pego, based on the novel by A.E.W. Mason Features:
Released by: BFS Entertainment. Harry Faversham (Bridges) has been raised in a military household under a very domineering and heavy-handed father. After his mother passes away, there is no one to shield him from his father's outrages at his perceived inadequacies. As he is becoming a man, he is engaged to be married to the lovely Miss Ethne Eustace (Seymour) who is equally in love with him. He is not willing to let anything stand in their way of being married; not even his commitment to his father's beloved British Army. On the night of their engagement party, he receives telegrams for all of the officers present that they are to report for duty. They are going to be shipped out to Egypt. Rather than be separated from his fiancée, he burns the telegrams. However, when his friends discover what he has done, they send him white feathers to inform him they know of his cowardice. Both his father and his fiancée disown him. After they are shipped to Egypt, he follows along himself in the hopes that he will be able to prove his worth to his former friends and regain his dignity. Categorized as: DVD and Reviews

12.21.06 by Bob the Zombie @ 12:06 am  Holy raging Bellcrons! Do you like the feeling of your teeth hurting and your jaw locking-up in disbelief? Then this is not only a Bad B-Movie must-buy, but also a must-watch, and must-hide away until your friends come over. Then, by Rabirr's flabby buttocks, you will inflict it on them! In a world where hairy feet and unibrows have their own tunes of enthusiasm, the supply of make-up is limited, and "nudies" are a major no-no, the universe of the Kabijjian Evil Alien Conqueror is a place all bad B-Movie goers must go. Evil Alien Conquerors is so terrible it's great, not badass as in James Bond or awesome as in Ace Hunter mind you, but simply great. It is so bad that IMDB.com and Amazon.com don't even have the movie poster icon for it on their sites. Starring Diedrich Bader and Chris Parnell, the film follows two...wait for it...Evil Alien Conquerors from the planet Kabijj on their quest to decapitate all humans--all of them--in just two days. Stuck in Palmdale, California, they are aided by Kenny (Michael Weston) on their misadventures which includes the usual things aliens do when they invade: mowing lawns, getting blown up, battling a cow, and making infomercials.

12.19.06 by ScottC @ 3:19 am    Anatomy 2. Joachim is an ambitious driven medical intern full of idealism and disregard for bureaucracy. This draws the attention of Dr. Müller-LaRousse, the head innovator of the hospital. He and his little clique of medical acolytes invite Joachim into their special research. The main project is developing artificial muscles which will make you stronger, faster, better. The research group is so enthusiastic about their project that they implant the muscles in themselves. Now the students are busy shooting up with whatever meds they can get their hands on to counter the massive amounts of pain. They are also killing anyone who wants to expose their independent study project. If the project fails, it will destroy more than their GPA, it could destroy their lives. This German medical thriller comes with a commentary from the director and the cast, deleted scenes that come with commentary from the director, a making of featurette, a gallery of photos and production artwork, filmographies, screen tests, and trailers.

12.15.06 by Widge @ 8:48 am  Sloshing through the swamp of pop culture so you don't have to. We bring you ideas for how to waste your weekend. Of course, special thanks go out to Clutch for letting me use their absolutely badass song, "Promoter (of earthbound causes)" as my theme music for this. Buy Blast Tyrant, which is where you can find "Promoter". Buy their latest album, Pitchforks and Lost Needles. Send them love and coin. Also thanks to James Underberg, whose "The Moods of Man" bit of film score was available on PodSafe Audio and we snagged it for use in the intro. BTW, you iTunes subscriber types can nab this feed here. Or if you want to do something else with it, the feed feed is here. Categorized as: Books and DVD and Music and Podcasts and Recommendations

12.12.06 by ScottC @ 1:54 am  Released by: Docurama. As your Minister of Naughty Bits, one of my more pleasurable duties is issuing bulletins to keep the public advised of media that deals with the sexy. Because it's all about the sexy. And I've never had defective sexy to worry about. While all our bulletins focus on the naughty bits, today's selection is really about naughty bits. Specifically if you have the wrong naughty bits. The documentary/miniseries Transgeneration covers the lives of four young people, Raci (MTF), TJ (FTM), Gabbie (MTF), and Lucas (FTM) who are dealing with being transgender along with the usual headaches of attending college. The four subjects are all very different even though they all have issues with their gender. All come from very diverse backgrounds and all have very different attitudes to how they present themselves to family, friends, and lovers. For instance Raci hides her transgender status from her classmates while Gabbie is extremely open about the subject. The audience can get to see being transgender from several different angles and get a better view. And while the only extra in this Docurama release is some deleted scenes, watching these college students literally becoming new people is an education. Categorized as: DVD

12.06.06 by Widge @ 11:15 pm  Yes, we've got our Contests Lab up and going again. What happened? Well, contest spam. We were getting buried in fake entries, so that we spent all of our time trying to run down real people who had won. And we also had to sift through all the multiple entries to get to a real person who had actually followed the rules. So we went silent running, handed out the prizes we had to go out (which took forever, since we had so many people who apparently weren't real), and re-did the contests. Now they're on their own WordPress page, so they're more integrated with the site. And we've altered some rules to make them easier to manage without us getting overwhelmed if somebody tries to spam us again. First, most contests run for two weeks unless otherwise stated. And you can now, based on user feedback, enter more than once. In fact, you can enter once everyday if you feel like it. However, if you try to overwhelm us with eight entries a day (which is what some of you evil bastards were doing), we'll throw out all your entries and disqualify you. So if you want to play multiples, you do it by our rules. So give it a shot. If you run into bugs, let me know. Categorized as: Contests and DVD

11.24.06 by ScottC @ 1:34 pm Released by: Docurama.  As your Minister of Naughty Bits, just a quick reminder that the Ministry will be issuing bulletins to keep the public advised of media that deals with the sexy. Because it is and always shall be all about the sexy. It's good for you, got it? Now. Let's be honest, sex education in this country is a joke. And a bad one at that. You may learn what a vagina is, but you don't learn how to appreciate its beauty. You may learn what a penis is, but you don't learn about how attitudes towards it have changed throughout history. And God forbid people should learn that putting those two things together can be fun and enjoyable. So Docurama gives us Sexual Intelligence, presented by--who else--Kim Cattrall (Sex in the City).  She exposes us to the physical, mental, and even spiritual aspects of sex. While some may be disappointed that the focus is on the basics, remember you have to learn the missionary position before you can attempt the Venus Butterfly. And even I, your Minister of Naughty Bits, learned about 'ballooners' from this DVD. Extras added for your pleasure include a featurette on how the animations in the show were designed, a video of a song, "Speak Slow" by Tegan and Sara, feature in the show, and a brief biography of Kim Cattrall.
