For three decades, the film canisters sat undisturbed in a cellar beneath the Swedish National Broadcasting Company. Inside was roll after roll of startlingly fresh and candid 16mm footage shot in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, all of it focused on the anti-war and Black Power movements. When filmmaker Göran Hugo Olsson […]

Turkey in the 1960s and 70s was one of the biggest producers of film in the world even though its film industry did not have enough written material to start with. In order to keep up with the demand, screenwriters and directors were copying scripts and remaking movies from all over the world. Name any […]
7/10 … They took his money. They took his family. And now, they’ve taken his hands. But they can never take his revenge! Exploding from the same hallucinogenic netherworld as TURKISH STAR WARS, THE SWORD AND THE CLAW stars Turkish genre legend Cüneyt Arkin in his most iconic role. It’s CONAN THE BARBARIAN meets The Three Stooges meets DOLEMITE with more lo-fi bloodshed, pop-art visuals, and bizarro dubbing than the boundaries of reality can handle.
In November 1971, Ginger Baker, the legendary drummer of Cream and Blind Faith, decided to set up a recording studio in Lagos, then the capital of Nigeria. Baker was one of the first rock musicians to realize the potential of African music. He also decided that it would be a rewarding musical experience to travel […]
7/10 … Finally a sex comedy from the female perspective instead of the same old horny teen dudes trying to score. Really refreshing! For some reason there’s still this f**ked up mentality that girls are either the virgin or the whore. Hopefully more movies like this, the decline of religious influence in society and education can change that. This one is a no holds barred, it doesn’t shy away from anything. So apart from showing nudity there’s nothing missing. Several funny moments, but I was hoping for even more…
2/10 … If any of these people where real actors when filming this then I’m Batman. Holy crap are they bad! I don’t think it’s possible to have more stiff dialogues. Next up, the blood. Okey, it’s not just this movie, why was it so hard to get a blood-red color that actually looks something like real blood? But as I said, it’s not just in this movie, but also in masterpieces by Argento and so on….
9/10 … Conspiracy/cover-up movies is probably my absolute favorite genre, especially if it’s based on a true story. I think these are the most important movies of them all, movies that shows the real face of men in power. The willingness to sacrifice human lives for not losing “face” or to enrich themselves. Although, my questions always stands after these exposures…
I love 1970 and 1980’s movie posters and artwork, especially the 80’s. And for some reason especially movie posters and covers from Asia. I always think their versions are the coolest. When I talk about movie posters I think it’s more or less always Horror and Action movies that stand out…

The Pentagon Papers, officially titled Report of the Office of the Secretary of Defense Vietnam Task Force, is a United States Department of Defense history of the United States’ political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967. The papers were released by Daniel Ellsberg, who had worked on the study; they were first brought to the attention of the […]
8/10 … I love New York, although I never been there. But I love the concept of a city that never sleeps, with people from all ethnic and social backgrounds, a melting pot with food from all the corners of the world. I’m especially love seedy New York and around the time 1975-1982.

This show is right up my alley, since I’m a sucker for things that have been made seriously, and then it just crashes and burn. This is extremely entertaining with a lot of stop-motion and a Spiderman running on an apparent floor, but we are supposed to think it’s walls or ceiling. Kids toys are we supposed to believe are real working robots or vehicles. Just awesome!
My favourite place to hang out when it comes to movies is on Letterboxd, here you can find a lot of things you wanna watch, follow people with the same taste as yourself and ofcourse comment and write your own reviews. ImDb is ofcourse the biggest one, but you get more of a social community […]
