"99% of those who carried out the murders in the Holocaust were never prosecuted. Why not?" Guerilla Films in the UK has unveiled a trailer for a provocative new documentary film called Getting Away with Murder(s), the latest from English doc director David Wilkinson. If you think that title is referring to the Holocaust, you're right. That's exactly what it's asking about. Everyone knows about the Nuremberg Trials, and the London Agreement of August 1945. But why were so many of those involved with the Nazis never prosecuted? Discover the profound and distressing untold story of the Holocaust... Being released 75 years to the day of the International Military Tribunal sentencing. This looks like an uncomfortable film to watch because it's going to poke and prod at questions that none of us want to answer, including whether being complicit in something that everyone else is complicit in really makes them worthy of being prosecuted.

Thirty years ago, shortly after Kurt Cobain sold the Pixies to the masses by marrying them with Led Zeppelin, a kid named Rivers Cuomo showed up to make bank on the equally subversive revelation that alt-rock’s poker-faced affliction could go just fine with the spit-polished pump of the Eighties arena-rock that Cobain and his grousing, punk-liking kin were supposed to have vanquished. Cuomo understood that the hair-metal-to-grunge shift was less a seismic cultural tremor than a great communal shoulder shrug: One day Warrant was on MTV, then the next day Alice in Chains was,...

As Disney quietly disappears huge swathes of film history into its vaults, I've spent 2020 celebrating Twentieth Century Fox and the Fox Film Corporation's films, what one might call their output if only someone were putting it out. This is the final Forgotten By Fox entry."Have you ever seen any of your victims?" Robert Shaw is asked mid-way through End of the Game (1975), a line borrowed from The Third Man (1949). This I take to be author Friedrich Dürrenmatt's revenge, on behalf of his native Switzerland, for Orson Welles' celebrated crack about the cuckoo clock in Carol Reed's thriller, which appeared just before he wrote the book this film is based on.End of the Game is adapted from Dürrenmatt's 1950 novel The Judge and His Hangman by the author himself and Maximilian Schell, who also directs, inventively if a little inconsistently. Some scenes have the correct tragic force...

Carlos de la Garza can “count on one hand” the number of alternative rock records being green-lit by major labels right now.
De la Garza, a drummer-turned-producer who also mixes and engineers and has worked with everyone from Bad Religion to Best Coast, remembers a more lucrative time: 10 to 15 years ago, he says, record labels had much bigger budgets for rock and alternative acts. Those budgets have since shifted toward other genres — resulting in fewer album releases and fewer opportunities for rock-focused producers every year. “Everyone’s fighting for those same few records,...

Actor Adam Devine tries some maniacal and ethically dubious psychotherapy techniques in the new video for Weezer’s “California Snow.”
The track appears in the new film, Spell, about an illustrator who goes to Iceland after the sudden death of his fiancée and finds himself on an increasingly supernatural — or possibly just psychological — journey. The new clip boasts footage from the film, but it also finds Spell star and director Brendan Walter (who also helmed the clip) working through his grief with a peculiar therapist played by Devine.

Just as unsettling as the Tall Man's sinister stroll down the sidewalk in Don Coscarelli's Phantasm is the music that accompanies his steady strides. Over 35 years after Phantasm first hit theaters, the folks at Mondo have announced they will release Fred Myrow and Malcolm Seagrave's iconic horror score on a new vinyl that will be available to purchase at a 35mm screening of Phantasm this weekend with the cast and crew in attendance, as well as at Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas. A new 24"x36" Phantasm poster from Mike Saputo will also be released this weekend.
Press Release (via Badass Digest) -- "Both the vinyl and poster will be available at Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson, TX as part of a 35Mm screening with filmmaker and cast in attendance as well as the Texas Frightmare Weekend in Dallas. If this news doesn’t excite you… You’re Already Dead!

In 2013, Michael Mendheim tried to bring back one of the most beloved (and wacky) sports titles from the retro era on KickStarter. While the campaign for Mutant Football League ultimately failed, the creators weren't about to give up. Now they've announced the game will be landing on the PS4 and Xbox One, and I got the chance to talk with Michael about the game's return, along with some brand new screenshots from the game. Come inside to check it all out!
The classic 16-bit game is finally making a return! One of my favorite sports titles (pretty impressive considering how much I really don't care for sports games) has always been Mutant League Football, and when the original developer of the game, Michale Mendheim, revealed a reboot of sorts, for the title on Kickstarter, I couldn't back it fast enough. Sadly, the funding never reached it's goal, but gamers shouldn't be disheartened.

Although Christopher Showerman is a very fit actor (having swung from a vine wearing only a loincloth and muscles in the George of the Jungle sequel, to mention just one rather physical role), he spends most of his time in the new horror movie Vitals unconscious, semi-conscious, and about to be knocked unconscious.
He plays Richard Carson, a man who’s taken his wife on vacation to India in hopes of fixing their severed marriage… unfortunately, it’s he who is severed when he runs afoul of some nasty organ-snatchers who kidnap him and start a’cutting.
Dread Central: How’d you first hear about this role?
Christopher Showerman: They sent me the script when I was on vacation in another state, and it showed up on my phone.
DC: It would have been better if it was in another country. Next time, adjust your story. Like, “Yes, I...

Maximilian Schell movie director (photo: Maximilian Schell and Maria Schell) (See previous post: “Maximilian Schell Dies: Best Actor Oscar Winner for ‘Judgment at Nuremberg.’”) Maximilian Schell’s first film as a director was the 1970 (dubbed) German-language release First Love / Erste Liebe, adapted from Igor Turgenev’s novella, and starring Englishman John Moulder-Brown, Frenchwoman Dominique Sanda, and Schell in this tale about a doomed love affair in Czarist Russia. Italian Valentina Cortese and British Marius Goring provided support. Directed by a former Best Actor Oscar winner, First Love, a movie that could just as easily have been dubbed into Swedish or Swahili (or English), ended up nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award. Three years later, nominated in that same category was Schell’s second feature film as a director, The Pedestrian / Der Fußgänger, in which a car accident forces a German businessman to delve deep into his past.

Jacqueline Bisset won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries, or TV Movie. Bisset won for her role in the British series Dancing on the Edge, which aired on Starz last year. Bisset took her time ascending to the stage, briefly stopping to say hello to her End of the Game costar Jon Voight. Then her speech started. Kind of. A very emotional Bisset looked a bit shocked, offered a meandering thank-you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
Midway through, she appeared to chastise herself: “Scottish Background to the Front!” After a “sh–” slipped through,...
