CELLULOID DREAMS 7/15/21 -- THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Fresh old stuff for our 25th Anniversary year! 

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH is the film version of the hit Off-Broadway musical created, written by and starring John Cameron Mitchell, who added "director" to his duties for the big screen version. It's just your average gender-queer punk rock-singer-from-East-Berlin-on-tour-in-the-U.S.-with-her-band story, really. In 2001, we sat down with Frank DeMarco, the cinematographer for HEDWIG, discussing the changes between the stage and movie interpretations, the year of pre-production, choosing projects, Kubrick and philosophies on filmmaking, among other things.

Lured by its iconic landmark, the venerable Old Mill, a movie crew takes over a small town in Vermont, bringing Hollywood egos, actor difficulties and scandal that disrupts the lives of its citizens. Too bad the Old Mill burned down decades ago! Written and directed by David Mamet, STATE AND MAIN is movie fan entertainment with a stellar ensemble cast that includes David Paymer (MR. SATURDAY NIGHT), who joined us by phone in 2000.

Plus: ALL-NEW "Screen Scene" movie reviews (theaters or VOD if not specified) including SUMMERTIME; MAMA WEED; ROADRUNNER; PIG; ALMOST FAMOUS [4K HD][Paramount Home Video]; THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE: SPONGE ON THE RUN [Paramount Home Video]; WRATH OF MAN [Warner Home Entertainment] and SIBERIA [Lionsgate Home Video].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/25/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: It's all in our heads! 

A manic experimental filmmaker (played by the writer and director of the film Philip Jozef Brubaker, who actually undergoes psychosis onscreen) summons a manifestation of Stanley Kubrick into his apartment to confront the famous filmmaker on the negative depiction of mental illness in his filmography. The two directors go on a feverish journey through Kubrick's oeuvre, as the master director is confronted for his negative portrayal of the burden of insanity. Characters from DR. STRANGELOVE, THE SHINING and FULL METAL JACKET are re-evaluated as Brubaker demands the recalcitrant Kubrick admit to his bias against the mentally ill. And it's a documentary! Philip Józef Brubaker discusses his unmistakably-titled HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK. 

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿HARD MILES [also VOD]; THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE; ABIGAIL; RIPLEY [Netflix] and HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK.
