A fascinating documentary on a very contentious topic, The Executioners will take you through the history of mankind's ultimate form of punishment. The entire 3 part series is captured here on one DVD: Part 1: Hangman: As late as the 1960's, Britain was still executing convicted murderers. The method: death by hanging. Part 2: Dynasties of Death: The groom, Henri Desfourneaux, is a killer. To his left, Anatole Deibler Desfourneaux, another. Two rows back another... Between them, they would killed more than a thousand men. Part 3: The American Way of Death: For much of the world, it was the rope or the blade. But in its short history, America has experimented with a bewildering array of execution methods.

Mike Diana, Shocking, Transgressive, Indie, Cult, Underground, Rare; DVD - Cover and Disc Signed by Mike D - 120mins (New)
An exceptional, entirely unique, wildly important, batshit insane, consistently entertaining trashvomit epic; in fact it's probably the quintessential entry in the canon. Diana presents a brutally straightforward and scathing critique of American culture and its obsession with guns and cars and babies and Jesus and Baby Jesus. Caring so much about all of that bullshit seems like such a waste of time when you have a pup as sweet as Daisy to lick Alpo out of roasted-carved-and-splattered plastic Baby Jesus's cunt. Yes, much of this is solely meant to shock the puritanical Republicans that had it out for Diana in the early 90s, but in doing so it reveals just how corrupt and absurd the are systems through which the powers-that-be operate. It’s all nicely summarized by what seems to be the inclusion of an encounter between Diana and a few yuppie wastes. He lets their ridiculousness speak for themselves, especially when one dude claims, as Diana pushes in closer and closer, that it is illegal to take his “picture” because he is a U.S. soldier and it goes against the regulations of “military intelligence.” Young Mike was definitely out there to push buttons, but more than anything he’s pushing back.
Totally transcendent viewing experience.
Cinema Sewer, Disturbing, Fetish, Shockumentary, Mixtape; 2 x DVD (RARE!) with hand drawn DVD art and 8 page zine - Ex Used condition
Anyone Googling "Video Mixtape" will be immediately exposed to links and references to the Retard-O-Tron mixtapes – possibly the most controversial and popular mixtapes around, already banned in the US, Canada and Ireland. Made in league with Robin Bougie’s excellent publication Cinema Sewer which scours the seedy underbelly of fringe cinema’s underbelly. Of course, porn aside, many of these mixtapes can hardly be considered legal. Who knows how many instances of copyright infringement there are in each one – dozens would seem conservative – but since the mixtape scene is still fairly focused and most of the source material so obscure, the creators seem to be largely left alone. Spewing forth a frothy overload of unbelievable, uncomfortable and at times totally embarrassing clips harvested from the deepest, dankest VHS dungeons and other unnameable appalling archives. Stitching together over an hour and a half of public access atrocities, loveably ludicrous fight scenes, gross-outs galore and some of the sleaziest, slimiest XXX insanity to ever penetrate your brain, editor Roelewapper often flips the clips, juxtaposing them against ironic, inappropriate and absolutely hilarious audio, sending the material into a completely backwards and bonkers context. All of this vile video vindication congealed with an impressive array of video editing skills makes this mix-tape most nauseating entertainment... but the real question is: can you stomach the avalanche of sordid perversion and perpetual uneasy feeling this collection presents? Just in case you didn’t get the message – the ROT mixtapes are NOT for kids or anyone easily offended. Absolutely, categorically NSFW – you have been warned.

"The genius of this film is impossible to put into words. There are times when the celestial bodies which rule our fates like the machined cogs of so many gears in an enormous and ethereal mechanism come together at one moment of perfect alignment to produce an event of such staggering proportions that it stands out like a beacon of what it means to be human. Such is the nature of this film. The script, acting, special effects, and the music - oh the music! - are all sublime. The direction is GENIUS. This, surely, is cinema at its very greatest." --- Ernesto Guerriero

The delicious Anne Sparrow – in her first and understandably only screen role – co-stars in this towering achievement in graphic depravity, now fully restored from a 35mm print discovered hidden in a janitor’s closet at the Danish Film Institute!
Gaspar Noe, Disturbing, Violent, Revenge; DVD - Used
'I Stand Alone' goes where few movies dare these days. It presents a portrait of hatred, disgust, despair and nihilism. Many would probably not like to face up to the fact that people like "The Butcher" exist in our society, but they do. By ignoring them we compound the problems they present and represent. Philippe Nahon plays a middle aged unemployed French butcher who is trapped in a loveless relationship with his pregnant girlfriend (Frankye Pain). She has some money and uses it as a power trip, promising to set him up with a new shop. When that doesn't eventuate he attacks her in a fit of rage, and leaves with a gun and three bullets. He heads back to Paris with no money and no prospects. As he sinks lower and lower into hopelessness his anger intensifies, and his mind races with fantasies of violence and revenge.
This is a confronting and profoundly disturbing movie, mainly because of it's realism and believability. While it certainly features some scenes of extreme violence, and one scene of explicit pornography (blurred in the print I watched), most of what makes it so powerful and horrible is the almost non-stop venomous monologues of "The Butcher". Director Gaspar Noe self consciously apes Scorsese's 'Taxi Driver' in several scenes, but this movie is a truly original vision. Highly recommended for movie buffs with strong stomachs, and the ability to deal with dark and troubling material.
