What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
Jamaine Clement, know from the television show Flight Of The Concords at the top of his game. Three original vampires reveal insights into their daily life. This is good comedy. Wether it is about their routines in their flat-sharing community, going out to festivals like the unholy masquerade, or “winning” new allies or falling in love.

American Splendor (2003)
For all the comic heads out there. And all other people too. A moving story about the introvert underground comic fan Harvey Pekar, who gains popularity in the 1970s, after he meet Robert Crumb, a cartoonist who portraits his ultra-normal life and times. Nicely done, because the original Harvey Pekar plays its part too, besides the actor hired to play him in some flashback scenes.

The Case of the Three Sided Dream (2014)
Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Normal people don’t know this name. Jazz entusiasts might know him, or at least have heard of him. An outstanding blind musician, who always persuited his own dreams and ideas, somewhere between Moon Dog and Sun Ra (but more jazzy), mostly playing several instruments at once and having unorthodox ideas for compositions. Documentary.

Fremont (2023)
This film lives trough its characters. There is Donya, the main character, a refugee from Afghanistan, lost, sometimes sad, but strong. There is the magificently ambivalent chinese employer of Donya. You never know if he is serious or not. And Dr. Anthony, the psychologist. Great character. Despite the tough topic about a PTSD diagnosed refugee the whole film is carried by a sublime and truely unique humor. Like.

Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow (1978)
This can be considered a cult and a classic. After the death of Bruce Lee many tried to follow his footsteps and ultimately Jackie Chan succeded with classics like this one or Drunken Master, bringing a little bit of fun to the scene. In this movie it is all about the Snake Style vs. the Eagle’s Claw Kung-Fu fighting style. And of course it’s about good vs. evil. Classic Eastern.

Quadrophenia (1973)
A classic cult movie set in England. The Modernists movement (or Mods for short) is a subculture centered around music, parties, drugs and most important of all self customised Lambretta scooters. Young Jimmy is in the middle of it all, trying to make sense out of it all. While doing so he encounters girls, Rockers (archenemies), the establishment and cops. An emotional rollercoaster which might end well. Or not.

Choke (2008)
Being a sex-addict is not easy. Victor Mancini has several thing to work out in his life. There is this “Choke-Neurosis”. There is his hospialized mother Ida, which is a mad character. There is Paige, the young and attractive doctor, which Victor falls for. And there is Jesus’ foreskin… This all comes together in the final part of the film. Pretty dark humor all together.

Bettina (2022)
This is a strong documentary about the east German song wirter Bettina Wegner. Her upcoming in East Germany, her early career and her struggle and conflicts with the political system. It is strikening that it is 100% Bettina Wegner speaking in this movie. No old friends or allies, or other musicians praising her, like you have it in so many other documentaries.

One of the first sequels of film history. The poor old and lonely monster is still around. Doctor Septimus Pretorius teams up with Henry Frankenstein in order to create a mate for the original monster. A couple of mad scientific experiments later the job is done. But does this put things back to normal? find out for yourself.

The Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
College Humor? Debatable. However the genre has a long tradition. This movie gives it a nice twist, because it puts the nerds in charge. And as we know, there are always nerds around in university and collage. This flick caught my attention when it was explicitly mentioned in American Splendor, another film suppsed to be introduced here.

Enter The Clones Of Bruce (2023)
When Bruce Lee died in 1973 he was on top of is game. He was in heavy demand and he left a void. And producers tried to make up for it (or make money out of it), employing martial arts artist, who looked like Bruce Lee and acted like Bruce Lee. And gave them stage names like Bruce Le, Bruce Li or Bruce Lai, just to make it more appealing. This documentary talks to about a dozen of clones and tells their story.

The Whiskey Bandit (2017)
This is a fast paced action drama, which is told basically through flashbacks. Based on a true story, obviously. The interesting part is that it is set in Hungary, which gives the movie a nice eastern European flair. There are some banks to be robbed, love affairs to be lived, people you care about to be disapointed and there are some intersting turns in the plot. As the title suggests, liquor plays its part too.

Disco Godfather (1979)
This is one out of five Rudy Ray Moore 1970s Blaxploitaion Classics. The actor itself is unique and one of the few queer black cinema artists of the 70ies, who actually made it. The ex-cop, now club owner and badass dance machine Tucker Williams needs to solve a case, which involves some Angel Dust pushers making trouble. Awesome dancing actions guranteed.

Forbidden Planet (1956)
Despite the high praise this move gets on some internet portals, I believe it is “just a solid” mid 50ies science fiction movie. Robby the robot is definitly a fine character, but what catches me most on this film is the soundtrack, presumably the first purely electronically sythesized score. The soundtrack and the composers behind it have their own facinating story to follow. Money quote: “When the Krell [a sort of evil antique mysterious underground super computer] died, the electical circuit making the sound[track] died.”

Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2003)
This documentary clearly romanticizes the dirty old american south. However it doesn’t miss it’s point. How the southern part of the US is, or was in 2003, but probably it didn’t change to much over the years. Special feature guest is author Harry Crews, protagonist of the film is Jim White, who actually did a good album in 1997 inspiring the documentary.
