Bonsai: The Karate Kid Documentary

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies, Multimedia

All famous directors started with a super 8 or VHS camcorder in their backyard filming their younger siblings, or maybe even their dog, in costume playing the part of some sort of action hero. For documentarians, the first step to their career goal may take place on youtube. Now I have no idea who Sean [...]

Extreme Recommendation

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies

I would never dare muddle your day with a review of a film who’s DVD was released a year ago, but this one is just so good. And if there is someone out there who is unaware, they need to be enlightened.

Published by dwhitney under Up and Coming

Whenever I went to Chuck E. Cheese’s as a kid, my mission was to play as many arcade games as possible. The pizza was nice too, but one thing I was not fond of, was the show. That fuzzy animatronic band at the Pizza Time Theater just freaked me out, and all i wanted to [...]

My VHS Love Story, Before You Read Another One

Published by dwhitney under Little Bit of That

Many video/music formats have come and gone, laserdiscs, minidiscs, floppy discs. And while you may not be able to buy a new VHS or cassette tape of the newest film or hottest song, I don’t think we have seen the last out of these plastic wonders. You see, for as long as they sell 1978 [...]

Dear Zachary Headed to the Small Screen

Published by dwhitney under Indie Movies, Up and Coming

I just can’t get enough of free film lately, i.e. Internet musicals and ESPN sports documentaries. It used to be that small art house films premiered at indie festivals and then played their limited engagement out in New York or LA, never to be heard from again.
