Marc Bolan burst onto the music scene in the late 1960s, an elfin hippie who sang otherworldly tunes about unicorns. Two years later, he formed legendary band T. Rex and pioneered glam rock in Britain. Co-written by Bolan’s first manager, this definitive biography traces Bolan’s life from the early struggles to his emergence as a teen idol on par with the Beatles, to his untimely death at age 29. Written with the cooperation of the Marc Bolan Fan Club and Bolan’s first wife, this book covers every corner of a blazing, too-brief life.

Remember that vicar in Peter Jackson's splatter classic Brain Dead who used his martial arts skills to smite zombies in the name of God? Well, here we have another fellow kicking undead arse for the Lord none other than the son of God himself, Jesus Christ (Marc Velasco), who takes extreme and very gory measures after accidentally starting a zombie outbreak while showing off his power to resurrect the dead. With a little help from pal Judas (Noé Blancafort), JC chops, saws, hacks, punches and kicks his way through an army of mouldy flesh-eaters (which includes Pharisian zombies, Roman zombies, and Cowboy zombies—yes, you read that right Cowboy zombies!) with only an endless supply of fish for weapons (it's that kind of film). Incredibly stupid but also incredibly entertaining, Fist of Jesus is fifteen minutes of pure, unadulterated gore-drenched fun, directed with plenty of flair and energy by Adrián Cardona and David Muñoz, whose irreverent splat-stick style has clearly been inspired by the early work of the aforementioned Mr. Jackson. Guts are ripped, bodies torn asunder, piranha fish thrown and heads crushed, with as much blood and body-parts chucked about in the process as the budget will allow. By the end of the film, Jesus's traditional white robes have turned bright red. Needless to say, devout Christians should probably give this a wide berth: a healthy sense of humour about all things Biblical is a must. Running time including extras - 80 minutes

Black Metal, Documentary, Pagan, Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Norway; Limited Edition 2 x DVD set (2010) - New
There has been more written in books/magazines and visually documented on film about the rise of black metal in the late '80s/early '90s than most would care to shake a stick at, much less a scythe. And almost all of it revolves around the infamous series of events that coincided with the rise of blasphemous form in Norway during the early '90s, including the anti-Christian/pro-Pagan rash of church burnings and MAYHEM's macabre carnival of murder and suicide. The difference with "Until the Light Takes Us" is that it serves at once as a history lesson, cultural treatise, and artistic statement during its 93 minutes, doing so without losing the viewer in a haze of minutiae or purposeless sensationalism. It also pays off by allowing people like Fenriz (DARKTHRONE) to offer an insightful view into the historical/musical side and the ever-controversial Varg Vikernes (BURZUM) to offer a lucid, downright logical explanation of the cultural, heritage-based appeal of the subgenre without spiraling into rants of an overtly National Socialist nature. A range of other scene stalwarts, such as IMMORTAL's Demonaz and Abbath and the ubiquitous Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg (ex-MAYHEM, et al), discuss their views of the personalities involved and the gruesome fates that befell people like Euronymous and Dead, as well as the artistically significant strides made in a Scandinavian region that gave birth to seminal acts like BATHORY, MAYHEM, IMMORTAL, SATYRICON, DARKTHRONE, ULVER, and BURZUM.
The limited two-disc DVD edition of "Until the Light Takes Us" offers the best bang for the BM junkie's buck. Included across both discs are outtakes, deleted scenes, and visits with several black metal musicians not featured in the film, including Ted "Nocturno Culto" Skjellum (DARKTHRONE) and Jon Necrobutcher (MAYHEM) and additional conversations with the movie's "stars." The 45-minute class on the history of black metal taught by Professor Fenriz on Disc 2 is the cake taker. It is difficult to make a DVD that reinvents the story of the Norwegian metal movement and "Until the Light Takes Us" doesn't do it either, but it sure as hell tells the tale from some different angles in a way that makes it a sweepingly gratifying film experience and a mandatory purchase for the curious and the devoted.
