A review of The Blue Light (1932)
Despite all of the numerous problematic details regarding her personal life and politics, Leni Riefenstahl remains one of the greatest (if not the greatest) documentary filmmakers of all time. She may have led a wonderful, horrible life, to borrow a phrase from fellow documentarian Ray MĂĽller, but her skills as a filmmaker were nonpareil. If she had done nothing else, TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, OLYMPIA PART ONE: FESTIVAL OF THE NATIONS, and OLYMPIA PART TWO: BEAUTY OF THE FESTIVAL would have cemented her lofty status for all time (leaving their ideological bent out the equation, which is an argument for

A review of Hair High (2004)
HAIR HIGH was Bill Plympton’s fourth feature-length animated film, and it represented something of a turning point for him. While the world of traditional cel animation had already moved into the digital realm by 2004, Plympton was still stubbornly sticking with his hand-crafted ways. Yet even his own process had evolved ever since his first feature THE TUNE in 1992, and while he was still handling all of the drawings personally, he was working with teams that dealt with other things like the inking and painting. HAIR HIGH was produced the same way, and yet it marked the end of

A review of Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity (1987)
SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY is an ultra-low budget science fiction exploitation film that was financed as a way for uncredited executive producer Charles Band to pay off a personal debt to writer/director Ken Dixon. (A substantial portion of Band’s career has arguably consisted of little more than either paying off debts or avoiding them altogether). While Band did give SLAVE GIRLS FROM BEYOND INFINITY a limited theatrical release in 1987 through his Urban Classics distribution company, most people would end up catching it for the first time on late night cable television – including the constituents of one prominent

This is really a parody of "professor" Jiang, but it works as a skewer of any TED talk or lecture. By the time he makes the argument that SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE winning Best Picture in 1999 was the beginning of the end of the American empire, it all starts to make sense.
