Plan 10 from Outer Space [VHS]
$79.99
Given what seems like obscure subject matter, this original, charming satire, is a triumph of talent over budget. It didn't matter to me that I knew nothing of Mormon doctrine; in the context of both science fiction (and a sometimes musical?!), it wonderfully parodies the absurdities of all religions, with their odd rituals, promises, and particular biases towards men. A young woman begins to question her religous upbringing, and with the onset of sexual awakening, discovers that to even scratch the surface of these tenuous ideologies will not only lay bare her own families oddities, but potentially bring the world crashing down amongst them. Yep the sky may literally fall! Or at least bring about a female apocalypse! And like all the Mormon guys (when they go to Heaven), she just wants to have a planet of her own too, as promised in the book of Mormon! If you got a kick out of such low budget gems as "Screamplay", "Vegas in Space", "Cannibal! The Musical", "Big Meat Eater", and the films of Frank Hennenlotter, (anything where "genre" is treated with gob smacking doses of irreverence!), then "Plan 10 From Outer Space" is sure to delight. I've seen this film a good half dozen times on a rented video, and now eagerly await it's dvd release. Here's to someone like Troma picking it up as distributor. Enjoy!

Introducing Easley Blackwood
$9.98
Masterful performances and wonderful recordings. There is an abundance of magic on this disc: Artistry , dedication and musical integrity can be felt throughout but in a warm embracing way . You get hit with lots and lots of notes in rapid succession but they are fluid and lyrical and create an impression that remains long after the last note has faded.
Varied and consistently excellent is how I would describe this offering. Very highly recommended. *****

Battle in Seattle
$14.98
This movie has incredible editing, sound, music, and especially content. The message is beyond powerful and it deals with some of the most important subject matter possible - human rights, creating a better world, and freedom and democracy. Having worked at Blockbuster Video for years, I've seen countless films, and this is in the top 10 I'd recommend to anyone. To me personally I'd put it at the top of the list. It's suspenseful, unpredictable, action packed, emotional, dramatic, and based on an incredible true story that happened in Seattle in 1999. This film can inspire anyone to join the movement to do their part for a better world!
