Check out Keen Cinema for the latest reviews

Launched by filmmaker R. J. Chmiel, this site boasts new reviews of films just hitting the theater - given his independent spirit when it comes to his own films - his reviews are great write ups swaying from his own personal philosophy to the social context the film displays.  If you're questioning what to see in the current cesspool of cinema hop on over to Keen Cinema

You can also see trailers for the directors work over at: Suzy Dirge Productions

Check out "Song For Lindy" one of the most impressive debuts to come out of Chicago recently.  We hope to interview the director in a later post.

Everything You Never Wanted To Know About The Original I Spit On Your Grave

*This post has been flagged for adult content. Apparently this analysis of I Spit On Your Grave, like the film itself, is rated R for adults only.   In 1978 Meir Zarchi released I Spit On Your Grave another in the line of rape-revenge films.  A film that would have never been made without Last House on the Left , and Deliverance , but this time they centered on the rape and the revenge without any social context interweaved into the plot.  The tagline for I Spit On Your Grave was: This woman has just chopped, crippled and mutilated four men beyond recognition...  but no jury in America would ever convict her!  The second title for the film read: Day of the Woman .  This film shows the strength within womankind to stand up for themselves when they are mistreated.  The main problem with I Spit On Your Grave as being a feminist piece is that Zarchi draws out the rape scene for way too long.  The four men each get a separate chance to take advan...

The Fireworks Man is a 1975 Porno – a new arena to CineNiche .  When you search this film, Abe Snake comes up as its director.  No one has ever came forth to declare the name, instead speculation falls under two possibilities: Peter Locke, the film’s producer or the more likely candidate Wes Craven who has a cameo in the film.  While interviewing Porn Kid from Odd Obsession we learned a myriad of seedy facts about our beloved horror maker.  After Wes quit teaching and met Sean Cunningham they made a soft core sex mockumentary called Together (1971), which Sean calls a piece of sh*t and will never release in the...

I did an ungodly amount of research about Cannon films and Orion films. The characters in my book were curating battling film festivals. One festival was celebrating Cannon and watching New Years Evil, Lifeforce, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Highlander, Missing In Action, and Masters Of The Universe . The other festival celebrated Orion films and the characters watched Silence of the Lambs, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, Monty Python’s Life of Brian, Caddyshack, First Blood...
