DVD Review: The Exploding Girl
Film.com Movie Blog &bull Yesterday
The Exploding Girl is not a horror movie about a girl who explodes, nor is it an action movie or a spin-off of the Sci-Fi classic Scanners. Contrary to the film's misleading title, it's actually a quaint little independent romantic drama that somehow manages to exploit the angst-filled and awkward… Full Story »

Going Bionic: Distributing Independent Films Internationally - "The Budget Game"
Film Threat &bull Sep 7, 2010
During my time in international distribution, I've seen several $1,000,000 documentaries that should have been made for ten times less, and a few $100,000 features that should have been made for ten times more. In both scenarios, the producers always try to use their film's budget as leverage in negotiating sales. The problem is most producers never realize that unless their film is laced with a star-studded cast, their budget has little to do with the value of their film to distributors. For example, if a producer spends north of $1,000,000 on a documentary while other like-minded documentaries are being… Full Story »

[Review] Machete
The Film Stage &bull Sep 3, 2010
Machete should have just stayed at being that really fun trailer we all loved from Grindhouse. Instead, it's now a somewhat enjoyable, artificial ode to grindhouse films. It worked great as a two-minute joke, but it wears thin at 90 minutes. It's repetitive and only a few moments work. That said, when the film does work, it's… Full Story »
