Documenting Paul Mawhinney, the man with the world’s largest record collection

Wow, this guy has over 2 million pieces of vinyl in his collection. I’m not even sure if fully comprehend a number like that. That would take a lot of Ikea shelves and milk crates and stuff. He even has the very first flat record that came out in 1881. The library of congress even […]

Quite possibly the scariest film since Glitter

How nobody has stepped up to make a documentary like this is hard to believe, but given the trailer it seems respected documentary filmmaker Chris Atkins (Taking Liberties) may have really put together something truly groundbreaking: “Star Suckers is a feature documentary about the celebrity obsessed media, that uncovers the real reasons behind our addiction […]

A lot like The Coven, but metal

One of my favorite movies of all time is American Movie — u seen it? It’s the one where this dude Mark Borchardt and his buddy (Mike Schank = awesome) struggle through all types of hell — mostly self-created — to film their dream horror movie, The Coven. I love that flick so much because […]

Homeless men racing shopping carts down really steep hills

If you’ve got 60-minutes to kill, do it right here watching Murray Siple’s feature-length documentary, Carts of Darkness. Pretty fucking amazing, if you ask me. The documentary takes place in the picture-postcard community of North Vancouver, where the filmmaker follows homeless men who have turned bottle-picking, their primary source of income, into the extreme sport […]

Documenting Bronx Street Gang Culture

I’m no cinephile, so maybe Flyin’ Cut Sleeves is already a cult classic. I’ve never heard of it. And I’m not sure it ever really came out. The film was completed in ’93, though. The project grew out of the experiences of Rita Fecher, the film’s co-producer (together with Henry Chalfant, Style Wars fame), who […]

You got it, relax, forget it, go to sleep

Here’s a short video someone took of Charles Bukowski driving around his old haunts of Hollywood & Western, and talking about all the characters that informed his stories. And life. Hookers, killers, thieves, barflies, the whole lot. Why? Cos it teaches you where humanity is…you never quite wanna forget who they are, where they come […]

Is Gravity In This Guy’s Dictionary?

Don’t know what rock I’ve been living under, but I just saw the RJD2 video for “Work It Out” this weekend and discovered Bill Shannon (aka “Crutch Master”) in the process. If you haven’t been right there with me, you probably already know about the documentary, Crutch. It’s been available on DVD for a minute […]

Featuring Belle And Sebastian, Portishead, Sonic Youth, Animal Collective, Grinderman & More At The Los Angeles Film Festival
