FRUIT OF THE VINE (Skate Documentary) 2002; DVD
Skate/Documentary/Skateboard DVD, Used
Long after most Hollywood films have faded into obscurity, Fruit of the Vine will stand as a vital, independent document of a thriving American subculture. We're talking skateboarding here--specifically, the maverick bicoastal pursuit of empty swimming pools to be ridden and mastered by expert skateboarders, some of whom have been perfecting their sport for 25 years or more. Codirectors Coan Nichols and Rick Charnosky have perfectly matched their subject with the grainy aesthetic of Super-8mm film, resulting in a no-frills work of art that captures, with time-capsule longevity, the obsessive mindset of those who pool skate despite numerous physical and legal obstacles. Fueled by a driving punk soundtrack, this is a loving portrait of outcast rebellion, embodied by such featured skaters as Tony Alva, Pat "Q-Man" Quirk, Mark Hubbard, and others who've turned skateboarding into a working-class religion. Simultaneously, Fruit of the Vine surveys a depressed American landscape, rotting and ripe for the infusion of energy that pool skating provides.

AMERICAN GRINDHOUSE (2010); DVD
Documentary/Grindhouse/Exploitation/Sleaze DVD, Used
A documentary about the history of exploitation movies, from the silent movie era to the 1970s. This film begins with people debating on what a grindhouse film really is and after the release of the film GRINDHOUSE it seems like everyone was debating the true definition. This documentary covers pretty much everything that wasn't accepted by the mainstream. We cover a wide range of films starting with some early silents from Edison and then moving to Hollywood movies like FREAKS as well as trashier things like MANIAC, REEFER MADNESS and then going through other decades. Included are the "birth" films from the 40s, the nudist films of the 60s, the gore period starting with Herschell Gordon Lewis and then moving through the 70s with stuff like THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT and the blaxploitation pictures. John Landis, William Lustig, Ted V. Mikels, Herschell Gordon Lewis, Joe Dante, Kim Morgan, Fred Olen Ray, Fred Williamson, Allison Anders, Larry Cohen, David Hess, Don Edmonds and Jack Hill are just a few of the people interviewed here and they too have a wide range of opinions on the films covered here. The film also does a nice job at showing how certain production rules in Hollywood is what helped change the exploitation filmmakers and how Hollywood eventually had to drop what they were doing and offer people what they wanted.
NOMADS AND NO-ZONES Documentary; DVD
Documentary/Underground/Culture/Outsider/Punk DVD Rare
Drawn from the raw material of their drifts and detours, here's an album of radical diaries and personal documentaries from two of the West's bravest makers. Gritty glimpses of edgy experience in marginalized cultures, their authentic film stories afford rare access and insight into the lived poetry of a dozen-plus autonomous zones. A road-savvy Snider freight-hops her way up and down the Coast, tracking from Frisco punk rockers to apocalyptic messengers of the Sonoran desert, gambling and engaging with the losers and visionaries that she meets along the way. Criss-crossing her paths are the barefoot pilgrimages of Portand-based Renwick, whose wise eye and wild heart celebrate the secret meanings of animals and humble things, the agonies and ecstasies of outsider life.
