With the release of Arrow Video’s The Annihilators, read film historian and author Chris Poggiali’s introduction into New World Pictures – Roger Corman’s now legendary cult movie production company that brought it to life….
When Roger Corman cut the ribbon on New World Pictures in May of 1970, he was in the right place at the right time with the right idea in mind for his latest business venture: a production and distribution company that would provide a training ground for young filmmakers eager to get into the business. Less than a year after the release of Easy Rider, every studio in town was trying to duplicate its success by seeking out independent filmmakers with an eye on the youth market and all things counterculture. This was the height of the New Hollywood era, which Corman himself had helped usher in with his trailblazing 1966 smash The Wild Angels. Mostly known as a producer-director,...

Grimm, Season 3, Episode 6, “Stories We Tell Our Young”
Written by Michael Duggan
Directed by Aaron Lipstadt
Airs Fridays at 9pm Est on NBC
This week, on Grimm: Capt. Renard goes to visit family, Rosalee calls the Council, and Nick learns how to spell eukaryotic
After last week’s delightfully straightforward fallout to the email from Nick’s mom, “Stories We Tell Our Young” gives viewers another episode that refreshingly bucks procedural conventions. When Nick and Hank look to be dealing with the closest thing the Wesen world has to demon possession, the answer to the bizarre phenomena they witness is unsurprisingly found in science, thanks to Juliette. Rather than Star Trek the explanation though, writer Michael Duggan adds complexity, starting with the basics and layering on scientific specifics. We don’t get a load of technobabble from Juliette which is then pared down so the simple folk can understand,...

Elementary, Season 2: Episode 10 – “Tremors
Written by Liz Friedman
Directed be Aaron Lipstadt
Airs Thursday nights at 10 on CBS
Continuing with the previous Elementary episode’s concerns of challenging Sherlock and Joan’s methods of catching bad guys, “Tremors” raises the philosophical and emotional stakes much higher by having Detective Bell get caught in the crossfire. As stated in the script, it isn’t a direct cause of Sherlock’s almost immature ways of handling his suspects and decisions, but Sherlock and every other person close to the situation knows that Bell getting shot with the possibility of permanently losing function in his arm wouldn’t have happened if Sherlock had been more careful or at least less carefree (in the sense that he does not anticipate the repercussions to his callousness and arrogance). Sherlock, though, doesn’t do things by the book by design. He and Joan exist in the grey areas,...

Never mind where Marlowe is. Where's a writer or director when you really need one? "Where's Marlowe?" is a wannabe mockumentary so bereft of a reason to exist as to make you wonder how it found its way into a movie house.
Apparently, most of the film was shot in 1996 as a one-hour series pilot for ABC and Paramount Television that was wisely rejected. Then, a year and a half ago, more footage was shot to pad the material to feature length. Now Paramount Classics is stuck with something that is neither fish nor fowl. The only sure thing is that it won't last long in theaters.
How does this log line grab you? Two failed documentarians decide to film a failed Los Angeles detective as he looks into dubious, ill-paying cases. When, in a lift from "The Maltese Falcon", the detective's partner is murdered, he is forced to enlist the filmmakers as his temporary partners to solve the crime. They prove as inept at sleuthing as they are at filmmaking.
Directed by Daniel Pyne from a script he co-wrote with John Mankiewicz, the film is virtually mirthless. The first genuine laugh -- when the detective snaps a credit card in half trying to pick a motel room lock -- occurs about 75 minutes into the movie.
Veteran actor Miguel Ferrer displays dogged determination in the central role, but he lacks the gift for satire so crucial to this kind of parody.
It goes without saying that technical credits are poor, since that's the whole point. But 97 minutes of it does make one squirm.
