Cinema Suicide

Sad news on sunday.  The disco godfather, human tornado, standup comic, blaxploitation legend and underground sensation, Rudy Ray Moore died from complications related to diabetes.
Moore is a man who needs no introduction. As Dolemite he was the flyest pimp the world had ever seen. A comic with a staggering degree of self-assurance and a man [...]

Cinema Suicide has had a close and loving relationship with Richard Griffin and Ted Marr’s production company Scorpio Releases ever since we interviewed Richard about his movie Beyond the Dunwich Horror back in May.  Since then, the crew has shown the film numerous times to packed theatres, created their faux nunsploitation trailer for Nun of [...]

I wasn’t going to post this because I don’t think that it qualifies for Cinema Suicide but this is funny and it features the greatest cult underdog of recent memory, Nathan Fillion, and I know how some of you drop everything whenever that name is mentioned. John over at our friends Blood Good Horror blogged [...]

I have no idea how this show managed to slip through the Sci-Fi fandom cracks.  This was some sweet shit right here! Aliens descend to Earth with nothing but goodwill and the promise of sharing their technology in exchange for some resources needed to help their homeworld out.  But it turns out that they’re actually [...]

One of our awesome readers hit me with something I hadn’t seen yet and I think this is the shit.
What are you doing this Halloween?  Going to be in or around Oregon?  Want to get all gussied up and drink a metric shitload of booze in the hotel that stood as the exterior location for [...]

Listen. I’m sure that I’m too old to be playing zombie tag and that most observers would judge the fuck out of me but honestly, who gives a shit?  If you had the option to make this happen, an epic game of zombies vs. humans, wouldn’t you make like a juvenile ass and run wild [...]

New England has a fairly reputable stable of writers and in recent years, a few of them have risen out of the Seacoast community of Exeter, New Hampshire.  Among them, Dan Brown.  Maybe you’re familiar.  He’s the one who wrote that massively popular book about Leonardo Da Vinci, his secret codes and all this overt [...]

Here we go again with more local news but this is some sweet shit, so pay attention.  If you don’t have one of these mobs in your area, you should consider organizing your own because it sounds like a lot of fun and who doesn’t like zombies, right?
Cinema S contributor Larry Clow hit me with [...]

I realize the futility of posting this sort of thing, relevant to people on the Seacoast of New Hampshire on a blog read by people in places like Israel and New Zealand but I get a lot of readership from the locale thanks to a reasonably heavy marketing push over the last couple of months [...]

You know me. Not only am I all about honoring the little guy but I loves me some local artists.  Adding Lovecraft to the mix is like Mrs. Dash.  It goes good on everything.  So here’s some news for your ass:
Filmmaker and Dover, NH native, Jeff Palmer submitted his feature-length screenplay, The Sleeping Deep, to [...]

I’ll tell you what, it’s been a little depressing up in here these last few weeks.  I sweep the news feeds looking for interesting stuff to syndicate and comment on but I find very little worth talking about.  In spite of the coming Autumn, there just isn’t much news happening.  So finding these photos over [...]

I don’t give Icons of Fright enough props up in this bitch, but I really should.  Of all the bigger sites out there reporting on horror, these guys are the real deal.  They’re fans talking horror and you’ll never get the feeling that they’re being paid to say this or that about a movie.  That [...]

If taking in a Broadway show didn’t require me to take a second mortgage, I might actually go see some of these shows but right about now, that second mortgage is looking pretty good.
Ellis’ original novel was a satire of money driven yuppie culture in the mid-80’s and as I’ve said before in other reviews [...]

I don’t typically cover a lot of toys up in this piece as I’m sure you’re aware.  I don’t see much reason to. The big horror sites fall all over themselves at every newsbite about a new Pinhead action figure or Leatherface bobblehead and, quite frankly, I think they’re retarded. I, too, was once retarded [...]

If the world needs one thing right now, it’s a tournament style martial arts movie.  I’m talking straight Master of the Flying Guillotine/Enter The Dragon style kung fu fighting.  Many styles represented, a parade of ass kicking by a variety of exotic martial arts.  There’s always your standard Hung Gar guy and some quiet dude [...]

It was only a matter of time before Korea became a viable source of property in Hollywood and there’s no better director to kick the wave off with than Chan Wook Park, director of the savagely beautiful, JSA and, of course, the Revenge Trilogy, which includes one of my all time favorite pictures, Oldboy. Yes, [...]

In the movie world, $5 million doesn’t sound like a lot of money but from my own experiences with trying to gather a few bucks to put on some community-related shows out and around the Seacoast, I can tell you that unless you can guarantee some kind of return on investment based on some stupid [...]

One of these days I’m going to stop talking about it and actually take a little weekend vacation to one of these slick cities that host the sort of film festival that Cinema Suicide would be interested in.  From where I sit now, Montreal is only a few hours away. You’d think that one of [...]

There’s an ongoing dispute among horror fans about the “filmability” of H.P. Lovecraft.  An entire camp of fans steadfastly defend their position that Lovecraft’s shorts are so abstract and strange that there just isn’t any way to accurately adapt them to the screen.  Those people have never really read a Lovecraft story.  Of course Loveecraft [...]

If you’ve never seen Tokyo Drifter or Branded To Kill, you should make it a point to track both of them down and check them out.  You have not ever, nor will you ever again see two Yakuza moves like them.  They’re colorful, psychedelic experiments in crime movies and ultimately resulted in Suzuki getting canned [...]
