Well the big news here at Mormo International is that this month's episode of our TV show "Mormo Zine" is the end of season one. The episode, "The End?" will air at 11PM on 3/17/11 and at midnight on 3/18 and 3/19. It features Love Songs for the Hated, Tony Bag 'O Doughnuts, Freshman Year, Darian Renee, Freezeout Hill, 3rd To Last, Jump Jets, Little Miss and some other stuff. The show will continue but with a new format. There are a few reasons for this and the main reason is that I cannot afford to make the trips to Boise needed to fill a half hour. The show will change from being a punk rock show with aspect of horror to being a horror themed show with aspects of punk rock. Mormo's role will change from being a VJ to being a horror host. There will be one band band per movie with one song/music video per half hour episode.
Question to bands. Would you rather record at TVCTV studio or get gas money to travel to Oregon to record and then get a gig at a local bar? My strategy of working with bands is going to change going into season 2. Instead of trying to get work from bands I will now offer bands opportunities to work which they can take or leave.
There are two movies I have my eye on for hosting right now. My next step is to write up contracts for the film makers to sign. I want to host indie no budget backyard movies rather then the public domain stuff that most horror host use. Eventually I want to produce a DVD to sell to distributors that I can make enough money to make the next episodes and pay the film makers so they can put the funds towards their next projects. Questions and comments about Mormo Zines new direction are welcomed!
Movie reviews:
I Spit On Your Grave remake - ISOYG the original is the one movie my father would not let me and my step sister see, so in my book it is one of the most fucked up movies ever made. I am not a big fan of the film but it definitely had some unforgettable moments. I've only seen it once but from what I can remember I think the remake is actually a better film. ISOYG is a rape/revenge movie. The gang rape in this film is hard enough to make you feel physically ill and in need of a shower but not so bad that you want to turn it off. It's the revenge scenes where this remakes really shines though. Really sick twisted tortured to death shit like I've never seen before. Alot of the stupidity of the original is corrected in this version as well. I will probably never watch it again but there is no denying that is a well made, powerful film.
Wicked Games AKA Truth or Dare 2 - This is my third Tim Ritter film and he is starting to seem like a one trick pony. People cheat on there spouses, someone goes crazy and kills people. The actor who played the killer in part 1 was what made the movie so awesome and the cast of the sequel is really lacking comparatively. Still, this movie delivers the nudity and creative kills. I will seek out the rest of Ritter's movies and hope he takes one of them in new direction. What's crazy is this Sub Rosa DVD had no menu. You had to play the movie all the way through then a special behind the scenes docu would play. They couldn't call this movie Truth or Dare 2 because of the Madonna movie.
