Film / Video
Reviews:
- Virgin
Suicides: **** This film almost has it. We start in middle
class affluent America of the 70's. The beautiful innocent young
America with its catholic naivety and young cherubs bursting
with anticipation for love.
- Supernova:
* This film with fairly unknown actors is about a fairly remote
portion of the galaxy and should have been made in Italy, because
that's about as close it gets to a supernova. The young and
sexually exuberant crew of the paramedic ship receives a distress
call from a rogue moon.
- The
Return of Nothing: The esoteric masterpiece in the process
of being produced that will have the art critics raving. 'The
Return of Nothing', a satire on 'the second coming of Jesus',
coming back now and going insane only to be saved by Tibetan
monks, rejecting them as corrupted and setting up the new religion
combining East and West which leads him back to his home planet
KLON, now owned by Apple-IBM-Microsoft: 'The Trinity'.
