So I burned up copies of the Jerkwadz DVD I produced for them to sell at the DVD premier. Producing full length DVD's for a band is nothing new for me but I did learn something cool about my studio. My computer can burn pretty good looking labels on DVD's so I will be using this feature in the future for sure. I am pretty proud of this DVD though. It has three music videos, two live performances, a interview, a Jerkwadz segment on a public access show and some extra bonus footage as well. It's about 50 minutes long. I think everyone is going to like it so if you get a chance be sure and buy a copy.
Movie reviews:
Breaking Glass - super cool drama about Kate, the leader singer of a band she describes as "influenced by punk, but better" who meets Danny, a street hustler who talks her into being her manager. He sets up a new band for her and gets them some shitty gigs at dive bars full of Nazi's and fights. Kate displays typical aversion to success at first but pretty soon she comes around. Danny talks to the right people and before you know it the band "Breaking Glass" signs a contract with a big time promoter and next a record contract. The band gets a fancy pants producer who inflates all their egos so bad that they won't do a encore for hundreds of fans chanting their name because the sound system sucks. Pretty soon Kate is a drugged out mess dressed as a robot doing huge stage productions before a thousand fans. The music in this film is totally awesome and I can't believe this isn't a huge cult phenomenon and that I have not seen it all ready or even heard about it. I stumbled across like 10 punk movies on netflix watch it now and this is the first I watched. Highly recommended!!
Petrified - Directed by Charles Band and distributed by Full Moon. I have been a fan of Full Moon since I was in my early teens. They always had the coolest most creative stuff on the video and created the "extra" way before DVD even came around. In this one a alien mummy terrifies a rehab for hot young female nymphomaniacs run by a mad scientist. The suspense works because you are thinking the whole time, "Damn Mummy! Don't kill those sexy chicks! They would fuck anybody!!!". Recommended.
A Scream in the Streets - sexploitation film from producer Harry Novak. Like a cop drama with a bunch of boring sex scenes thrown in. There is some sleaze like a massage parlor being assaulted by a guy who wants to beat his masseuse with a belt after he fucks her. Also a transvestite serial killer. But the sex scenes were really bad and long, kind a of inbetween soft and hardcore. I guess I was just not in the mood. I started fast forwarding to the cop shit but eventually turned it off before it was over. It was a Something Weird DVD so it had it had tons of previews and short films that were pretty entertaining. I would say pass on this one though.
