Review: The Midnight Special: Legendary Performances
The Midnight Special: Legendary Performances Guthy-Renker Street 08.01 One of the more spectacular music shows to ever run on late-night television was the Midnight Special. Bankrolled by Burt Sugarman, and running through most of the 70s and into the early 80s, the Midnight Special was the closest think that we in the US ever had
Review: Freemasonry Revealed
Freemasonry Revealed The Secret History of the Freemasons Koch Entertainment Street: 09.11 The secretive nature of Masonry, the ties it has in the Latter Day Saint church’s history and history in general have always enticed a great deal of curiosity in me. When I picked it up, Freemasonry Revealed was still wrapped in its original

Review: Darzamat
Darzamat Live Profanity (Visiting the Graves of Heretics) Metal Mind Street: 08.28 I had never heard of Darzamat before, the name sounds like some sort of chemical or something.

Review: A Few Days In September
A Few Days In September Santiago Amigorena Koch Lorber Street: 09.06 This movie is French! Or just kind of French.

Wired For Sound – A Guitar Odyssey Mpi Home Video Street: 06.26 Wired For Sound documents the role of the Gibson guitar throughout the evolution of rock music.

Review: Your Mommy Kills Animals
Your Mommy Kills Animals Curt Johnson Street: 2007 Don’t be fooled by the title; this is not another “shockumentary” exploiting animals even further by showing horrible abuse footage. It is not an ad for vegetarianism, PETA or anything of the sort. Your Mommy Kills Animals actually exposes companies like PETA and other “animal loving” corporations
