THE HELP – Tate Taylor
The Help is about a young writer, Skeeter (played by Emma Stone), who just came back to her hometown in 1960′s Mississippi from college. More than anything she wants to be a published writer. As she get’s a small job working for the local newspaper, she feels that she can do more with her life and her talent. After seeing how the African-American Help are treated at one of her friends of high society party’s, she get’s the idea to write a book based on the stories of the Help that cook, clean, take care of white babies, and put up with a lot of racism.
VERSIPELLIS – Donatello Della Pepa
Twins inside mother’s womb (a symbol of serenity and life), they become assassins in the same place, devouring one of the three of them as to survive. Giulio and Francesco suffer with congenital defects, the first one undergoing deformed backbone, the second one changing himself into a werewolf. Two brothers following different roads, destined for an inescapable encounter, after a terrible sequence of murderers.
THE DEAD – Howard Ford, Jonathan Ford
Being a huge fan of living dead films and of Night of the Living Dead, it is hard to watch these type of films because you know going in that it won’t be as good as NOTLD or that they are just gonna try and copy it somehow. Well, I was completely wrong when it came to this film. I was blown away by The Dead. It is original, heart-warming, and for once it takes place in another country! Finally something different, but it doesn’t stop there with its originality.
RED STATE – Kevin Smith
When it comes to 90′s Generation/Independent Icon director, Kevin Smith, a few things come to mind. Low budget, great comedy, Jay & Silent Bob, the ‘Jersey’ film trilogy, and Pop Culture overdose. What doesn’t come to mind is ….horror film? Kevin Smith has entertained us for over 2 decades. Starting his career with the ultimate Independent Comedy film, CLERKS. Filmed in black and white, a shoe-string budget, and staring most of his friends – Smith took Hollywood by storm with his fast dialogue, witty humor, and colorful and unforgettable characters.
STEPHEN KING’s comic books
This was a time when comic books had a completely different look, feel, and art design. The days of the old newspaper style, chessey art, and simple comics of yesterday were over. It was all about style, violence, and sex. Well, maybe not in those two titles, but in comics in general. Dark Horse stopped the Indiana Jones series by early 2000′s and Star Wars continue’s today. I, personally, don’t collect them anymore because I don’t find them very interesting in any way and it’s mostly the Clone Wars time frame. Since then, I have collected a new set of comic books that started back in 2007. A series of comics that could be drawn to my attention by only one man: Stephen King.
WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE – Todd Solondz
Welcome to the Dollhouse is not like a regular comedy, it’s a “dark comedy”. It’s also a low budget film & an Independent which I believe is some of the best films out there because they depend on acting, writing, and a vision as say, a big budget-all CGI-3D- big studio release type of film might not be. I saw this film WAY back in 1995, bought the DVD a year ago, & JUST watched it after all this time (hence the new catagory name). It is … different, that’s for sure.
