Blood
and the Straw - The Legend of Lucky
A black
comedy set in Rural America. A farmer finds a chicken
box which fell from a passing chicken ranch truck. The
little chicken, looking a lot like a young man, is raised
by the farm family. One day a chicken rancher arrives
to recover his lost chick-turned-rooster and the young man
learns his true heritage and why he has a natural ability
to fight. Perhaps the most unique martial arts film
ever produced.

Ball
High school
is over, and everybody in the small town just up the Hudson
from New York City where Jim lives has made plans and moved
on -- everybody except Jim. While his buddies head off to
one Ivy League college or another, Jim rejects their upwardly-mobile
choices and takes a job driving for the local cab company
instead, which allows him plenty of free time to hang out,
drink with the locals at John's Bar & Grill, and think
back on the love affair with a married woman that, for the
exquisite moment it lasted, brought passion and meaning to
his life.

of the Astro Zombies
Invaders
from outer space are up to no good, human villainess and her
henchman are up to no good, and the good guys are trying to
get a handle on it all. The joy of this film is in its amusing
dialog and wonderful cast. Brinke Stevens is pretty as a picture
and makes a very warm and appealing heroine. Tura Satan, perhaps
best remembered from the cult classic FASTER, PUSSYCAT, KILL,
KILL, is a welcome and delightfully wicked "dragon lady" type,
whether wielding threatening weapons or slapping the bejeezus
out of her dull-witted comic (but dangerous) sidekick, which
she does frequently. It’s wonderful to see another cult classic
actress, Liz Renay, as the kooky, publicity-seeking "I was
attacked by aliens!" gal. And you get a little bonus in this
film, too...check out a brief scene by director Mikels himself
as a mad, mad, mad scientist who converses with "the head
of Dr. De Marco". Lots of laughs! (www.imdb.com)

min., California, USA, Director: Ted V. Mikels, Music: The

Returning
Mickey Stern
On an
exotic island so close to the Big Apple, Mickey Stern (Joseph
Bologna) is about to discover his past in someone else's future.
1950: Mickey Stern (Joshua Fishbein), a wildly naive 17 year
old kid, discovers the magical Fire Island for the first time.
There, he meets his true love, Leah (Kylie Delre), and courts
her. Mickey wants the American Dream - to wear pinstripes
as a New York Yankee, to find riches and fame and love, and
to fight the "Commies" in Korea. But, their love doesn't overcome
everything, and he and Leah go their separate ways. Full of
regrets, Mickey finds himself wishing he could turn back time...
FIFTY YEARS LATER: Mickey (Joseph Bologna) still has dreams
of playing for the Bronx Bombers and bringing the world's
last remaining "Commies" to justice. He returns to Fire Island
with his best friend Harry (Tom Bosley), the New York Bagel
Czar. Mickey discovers that the magic has not left Fire Island.
He meets a young woman named Ilana, who bears an uncanny resemblance
to Leah. But even more shockingly, he meets a young man who
is, quite literally, a 17 year old version of himself.
This is Mickey's chance to right past wrongs, and he has just
one week to do it. He teaches Michael how to become a better
ball player and how to be a better man. But with slicked-back
hair and hormones in maximum overdrive, Michael might not
have what it takes to romance Ilana. Ultimately, Mickey discovers
that love cannot be forced, it must be earned, and sometimes,
love can be found in the strangest of places.
(97
min., 35mm, USA, 2002, Director/producer/script: Michael Prywes,
Cast: Joseph Bologna, Tom Bosley, Kylie Delre, Michael Oberlander,
Sarah Schoenberg, Kristina Sisco, John Sloan, Connie Stevens,
Brett Tabisel, Renee Taylor, and introducing Joshua Fishbein
as "M. Stern")

Revolution
#9
Life is
great for yuppie Jackson and his fiancée Kim. Until
objects start moving mysteriously. And sinister emails begin
to arrive. And a TV commercial is broadcast with secret messages
intended only for Jackson. But are these anomalies really
happening? Or is Jackson imagining it all? This psychological
thriller that begins like a conventional suspense film then
evolves into a chilling examination of schizophrenia, but
this is no sensational or exploitative melodrama. It is a
restrained and intense immersion into lives gone haywire.
As Jackson's world breaks apart, clever picture effects and
sound design carry us along with him into encroaching insanity.
While Kim struggles to hold the pieces together, mixed signals
allow us to believe with her that everything might turn out
okay.
