WHAT GOES ON HERE?
-Some of the most interesting films are sometimes forgotten temporarily. Some are are orphaned by the mainstream. Some are destined to be cult classics, some have achieved that status already. Some have just been flat out enjoyable for years and are deserving of a new generation of audiences. And some are deserving to have more opinions, info, and commentary written about them.You will find all of these here. Enjoy.Hope you find something new, or something you have forgotten about and want to watch again or just add to your collection.
thanks,
TJPARSONS

CURRENT REVIEWERS:
TJPARSONS -The founder of Uddershiet Films and film enthusiast, maintains a fun collection of movies that he regularly references for technical examples, discussions with colleagues, friends, students, and production staff. Although there are particular films, shorts, and videos that he prefers over others, seldom is there a movie that he doesn't like.
R.R.MOORE -A earnest student of Art films, R.R. Moore was struck by an idea after watching Leaving Las Vegas. It was a brilliant film, he thought, but he did not enjoy watching it at all. That was when he realized that capital A Art was just something you suffered through so you could show how deep you were to other navel gazers and was reborn in the light of "The Drive In Jesus". Never again would he sit through some pretentious foreign film about the day to day lives of Mexican Sombrero farmers just to say he had watched it and "it really made him think". Never again would Meryl Streep darken his door and his heart. He had forgotten the golden rule of movies, Thou Shalt Be Entertained, but he would never forget again.
STARSHIP ED - Landing on earth roughly before the time of beta-max, Starship Ed grew up maintaining a surrounding of props, movie set pieces, memorabilia and an infinite taste for time saving and cost effective ideas for producers like TJPARSONS. His talents are currently on call to anyone with the worthy cause of creating entertainment for the public. His connections to various art scenes and hidden circles have been proven to know no bounds.

One of the earliest and best of Nikkatsu Studios' "Sea Tribe" films
which form a sort of cultural corollary to the American teen angst
films coming out at that same time. Still, it's a little bit shocking
to consider a film made just eleven years after Hiroshima and Nagasaki
should be about essentially spoiled upper middle class teens who
discuss and dismiss Marx in favor of trendy Western consumption, joke
about adopting boredom as a manifesto. They're punks who look l...

RUNNING TIME: 87 minutes

FORMAT: DVD
SCRIPT: Benjamin Christensen
DIRECTOR: Benjamin Christensen
STARRING: Benjamin Christensen, Elisabeth Christensen, Maren Pederson
In the mid-twenties a Swedish director named Victor Sjostrom , who directed in America as Victor Seastrom, convinced Louis B. Mayer to watch a print of the movie Haxan . Impressed but slightly shaken, Mayer remarked that the director was either a genius or a madman. Watching it today, you still find yourself asking the same question.
Haxan was a Swedish film directed by a Dane, Benjamin Christensen, who stumbled across a copy of the book Malleus Maleficarum in a German bookstore while selling his first hit film the Mysterious X.&n...

I don't go the movies all that often. Maybe I'm cheap, maybe it's
just because the local multiplex just doesn't bring the type of movies
that flick my Bic. I don't know. Went to see Shaun of the Dead. Had
to go about an hour to do so, but my gut said it would be worth it and
it was. I did see Hot Fuzz one of the few days it played around here.
Me, my buddy and the other four people in the theater had one hell of a
time.
What I am saying is that I don't go out and pay damn near 10 bucks
to see a ...
