«Here is a bold, beautiful, visually enchanting musical where we walk into the theater humming the songs. Julie Taymor's "Across the Universe" is an audacious marriage of cutting-edge visual techniques, heart-warming performances, 1960s history and the Beatles songbook. Sounds like a concept that m...

Frank Henenlotter and John Zacherle on the set of Frankenhooker. For lovers of sleazy cult cinema, writer-director Frank Henenlotter is a god... and not merely for the six whacked out films he's made in the past three decades. I can say without hesitation that there's a ton of movies that I never wo...

By the late '60s, the Hollywood studio system was crumbling and independent filmmakers were invading drive-ins with a vengeance.

Let me tell you a tale, a very scary tale, about two boys who were surfing one day, on a very weird beach 'round Dead Man's Point where there are haunted sea caves, they say... Following "Lidsville" came a vehicle for yet another rising teen heartthrob (who would soon be forgotten). "Sigmund and the...

"In the middle of a summer, in the middle of a park, there began a great adventure for a boy whose name was Mark..." Yes, on September 11, 1971 (whatta date!), the brothers Krofft premiered their legendary, whacked-out kiddie show, "Lidsville." The original Eddie Munster, Butch Patrick, played the a...
