Only once in a generation do we behold a classic such as this! The ’embiggened’ adventures of Nancy Archer lack technical sophistication, but good direction and a very direct story — female revenge writ large — grab us every time. Let the absurdities pile up, because Allison Hayes cuts a mean fifty-foot figure in that white two-piece, and saucy Yvette Vickers really warms up the clientele down at Tony’s place. It’s a terrific piece of late ’50s exploitation anti-art. The fantastic Reynold Brown poster is a key expression of the monsterrific worldview.

Premieres category a possibility. Gist: Based on the award-winning novel Someday This Pain Will Be Useful To You by Peter Cameron, is a funny and tender film about James Sveck (Toby Regbo), a vulnerable teenager with a deep appreciation for the world and...

Red Flag Releasing, a global distribution upstart helmed by Paul Federbush, Laura Kim, both former Warner Independent Picture executives, and Ron Stein, a financier and producer on The Kids Are All Right, have picked up We Were Here for their second theatrical release after last year’s 8: The Mormon Proposition. An official Sundance selection this year, We Were Here takes a somber, but hopeful look back at the AIDS epidemic that broke out within the homosexual community in San Francisco during the 1980s by following the remembrances of five people who lived through it. The film will grace Us theaters this September. Gist: In the early 1980s, AIDS was known as the “Gay Plague” when hundreds of homosexual people started dying of a then unknown immune deficiency disease. Thanks to San Francisco's unique progressive gay community, its heart found in the Castro Street neighborhood, helped the majority of the...
