Obscure One-Sheet: March 2014
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Dirty Old New York aka Fun City, Part V. This is the conclusion. Of the Dirty Old New York Subway / aka Fun City. That I started working on nearly two years ago. I think I've got the obsession- at least in this format- out of my system. Barbara Streisand ventures out to Fun City in Irvin Kershner's Up the Sandbox. The video begins with a Rocky. There is some nudity in Part V. So it may be NSFW depending on where you work. Master playlist from Subway. Thru Fun City I. I, the Jury.

Obscure One-Sheet: Lolly-Madonna XXX (1972, Richard C. Sarafian)
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2015/01/lolly-madonna-xxx-1972-richard-c.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. Lolly-Madonna XXX (1972, Richard C. Sarafian). Until the Warner Archive released Richard C. Sarafian's. In late 2014, the film was m.i.a. on home video for over 40 years. It's this sort of cinematic "rescue" that lovers of obscure films like this one cherish the Warner Archive for. We're still waiting for the likes of Last Summer. And China 9, Liberty 37. I'm not sure what kept Lolly-Madonna XXX. Aka The Lolly-Madonna War. Aka Fire in the Meadow. And Randy Quaid) away from their...

Skip to main content. July 1, 2015. Invisible Borders: An Interview With Ala Kheir. What follows are his words, adapted from our conversation. On His 2011 Invisible Borders Experience. Unfortunately, I could not go to Venice [for the Biennale]. The visa process was a little bit longer, and I could not get my visa on time. I had a lot of photos. The series that I showed in Venice was called From Khartoum to Addis, which is trying to show this transition between the two places. On Becoming a Photographer.

Obscure One-Sheet: The Killer Elite (1975, Sam Peckinpah)
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-killer-elite-1975-sam-peckinpah.html
Sunday, October 12, 2014. The Killer Elite (1975, Sam Peckinpah). Like Clint Eastwood's The Eiger Sanction. Sam Peckinpah's The Killer Elite. Is considered a minor work of a legendary director. Both were released in 1975 to little acclaim and remain buried near the bottom of each filmmaker's oeuvre. That said, I recently watched the Peckinpah film for the first time via Twilight Time's new Blu-ray. And found myself enjoying it for the same reasons I so enjoyed The Eiger Sanction. Is at its best when Clin...

Obscure One-Sheet: The Blob (1988, Chuck Russell)
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2014/11/the-blob-1988-chuck-russell.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2014. The Blob (1988, Chuck Russell). Aside from Kevin Dillon's godawful mullet, I really can't say too many bad things about Chuck Russell's. It was while watching the interview (at the Cinefamily) with Chuck Russell. On the TT disc, that I was reminded that Russell directed not only The Blob. But also the much-beloved Elm Street. Sequel, Dream Warriors. Yet another '80s horror classic that Pop-Pop took me to. Anyway.back to The Blob. Of all movies and, as the movie went on, I not...

Obscure One-Sheet: January 2014
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 31, 2014. Trailer Not on the DVD: Star 80 (1983, Bob Fosse). I posted a Star 80. TV spot a few years ago. Now, from the Warner Archive VOD YouTube channel. We have what appears to be a theatrical trailer (sans billing block). Hopefully, a widescreen Blu-ray (we can dream) or DVD of Fosse's final film is coming soon from Warner Archive. There is an ancient, full-frame, feature-less DVD. Which now seems to be OOP and quite pricey. Love the American Gigolo. Vibe of the shopping scene. This m...

Obscure One-Sheet: February 2014
http://knifeinthehead.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 14, 2014. Who is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me (1971, Ulu Grosbard). Transforming Hoffman into hardened criminal Max Dembo, they fail spectacularly with Harry Kellerman. The goofy DVD cover, which appears to be trying to evoke Napolean Dynamite's. Marketing campaign, includes an image that does not appear in the film. I initially thought it was a photoshop job, but then considered that it might have come from a publicity still. Sure enough. In anothe...
