A cultural crusader strikes in L.A. Slasher, now streaming on Screambox.
Directed by Martin Owen and produced by Jeffrey Wright and Daniel Sollinger, the black comedy stars Mischa Barton (“The O.C.”), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Danny Trejo (Machete), and comedian Andy Dick as the voice of the killer.
L.A. Slasher is “a biting, social satire about reality TV and the glorification of people who are famous for simply being famous.”
The film also “explores why it has become acceptable and even admirable for people to become influential and wealthy based on no merit or talent – purely through notoriety achieved through shameful behavior.
“Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them.”
Here’s the trailer.

The many clones Tatiana Maslany played on Orphan Black banded together to fight Neolution, and this was when it mainly was a belief for people who’d undergone technological enhancements, like tails. The Immortality or Bust trailer follows the man who invented volcano surfing as he rides a transhuman wave to Washington.
On The Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Major’s astronaut Steve Austin was rebuilt into the world’s first bionic man. Government scientists made him “better, stronger and faster” through biotechnical enhancements. The man at the center of Immortality or Bust wants to take that one step further. “Do you want to live forever and become a cyborg,” asks the official website. “In the last Presidential election, one man embarked on an impossible expedition to defeat aging and forever change the human being through science.

Celebrity culture and reality TV obsession come under fire in a new horror film directed by Martin Owen called L.A. Slasher. After a few months of teaser images and posters, a trailer has finally made its online debut. I got to say: It works. I'll be curious to see what directions it goes in and I hope it doesn't become too preachy, but I'm game to check this out.
Jeffrey Wright and Daniel Sollinger produced the film.
Incensed by the tabloid culture which celebrates it, the L.A. Slasher publicly abducts a series of reality TV stars, while the media and general public in turn begin to question if society is better off without them.
The post The L.A. Slasher’s Message is Loud and Clear in This Trailer Debut appeared first on Shock Till You Drop.

With Anchor Bay Films’ psychological rape/revenge feature Girls Against Boys opening theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on February 1st, we recently conducted an interview with co-producer Daniel Sollinger. Read on for his take on the project and a new exclusive still.
Writer/director Austin Chick’s Girls Against Boys (review here), which lands on Blu-ray and DVD on February 26th, stars Danielle Panabaker (2009’s Friday the 13th), Nicole Laliberte (“Dexter”), Liam Aiken (Road to Perdition), Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield), and Andrew Howard (2010’s I Spit On Your Grave). The film revolves around the character of Shae (Panabaker), a naïve New York college student, who, after being tormented by several men in a matter of days, reaches her breaking point and is drawn into co-worker Lu’s (Laliberte) twisted plan for revenge.

In his lively feature documentary debut, "Rhyme & Reason," producer-director Peter Spirer (nominated for an Academy Award in 1994 for his short "Blood Ties: The Life and Work of Sally Mann") investigates and chronicles the hip-hop culture and its close relative, rap music.
Fast and informative, the crowd-pleasing Miramax release features plenty of tunes and stars, including a few brief moments with the late Tupac Shakur. While the language is often raw and there's a limit to the film's appeal, "Rhyme & Reason" will draw good crowds in select theaters and go on to heavy rotation as a video rental.
The distinction between hip-hop and rap is made clear early on. The former is a lifestyle encompassing clothes, language, graffiti and rap music. "Rap is something being done; hip-hop is something being lived," sums up KRS-ONE.
It's a situation that recalls many popular cultural movements of the past, and Spirer ambitiously probes the wide world of hip-hop with a historical perspective that leads to some genuine insight from the many artists interviewed.
From members of the Wu-Tang Clan to Ice-T, there is plenty of tough talk about life in the big-city slums, where rap moved "from project to project." In its early days in the South Bronx, the streetwise poetry with a pounding rhythm was a personal or group expression.
The "scratching" of records was eventually introduced, and DJs in clubs and at parties became part of the hip-hop scene. Break-dancing and elaborate graffiti painting were energetic responses to the urban environment, while rap became the means to express one's mind.
Over time, rap has become a $3 billion-a-year industry but has been plagued by scandals, tragedies and its wide perception as "gangster" music. The film addresses these and more issues -- such as the rivalry between East Coast and West Coast rappers -- but no definitive conclusions are reached.
For hip-hop fans, however, there are many highlights. Newer acts such as Nas, the Pharcyde and Busta Rhymes are included along with such veterans as Dr. Dre, Biz Markie and Salt-N-Pepa.
From these interviewees and many others, Spirer and crew have created a cultural portrait that argues persuasively, in the words of Speech (formerly of Arrested Development), that hip-hop music is "a voice for oppressed people who, in many ways, don't have any other voice."
