Courtney Barnett, Alice Bag, Kathleen Hanna, and more artists have contributed to Hands Off!, a new limited-edition cassette compilation that was created as a response to the sexual misconduct allegations surrounding Burger Records.

The compilation was curated and produced by Miss Alex White of White Mystery, May McDonough of Psychedelic Cherry, LG from Thelma & the Sleaze, and Charlie Kaplan of Tapehead City. Along with Barnett, Bag, and Hanna, Hands Off! features tracks by L7,...

In Groupie, we have one of the more recent efforts from director Mark L. Lester. If his name rings a bell with film buffs out there, it’s because he is also responsible for such classics as Stephen King’s Firestarter and Commando. However, I would suggest not popping Groupie into your DVD player expecting another future classic along those lines. Although this film does contain Lester touches that reminded me of certain elements in those films, thus bringing back a pleasant bit of my childhood for me, this is nevertheless… not quite the same.
Groupie tells us the story of a rock band called The Dark Knights that may or may not be cursed thanks to a horrible tragedy that we as viewers are witnesses to at the very start of the film. You see, The Dark Knights are apparently just as well known for their...

My DVD collection contains some oddities, to say the least. I have stuff ranging from all of the seasons of Due South to the most complete collection of Snoopy cartoons I can amalgamate given current releases (which is pretty darn shockingly complete, if I may say so myself). So it’s honestly not a surprise to find some strange or obscure movies in there.
I recently ordered a copy of the movie Groupie and watched it over the weekend. I’m going to have to admit that the main reason that I bought the movie is because it’s got Hal Ozsan in it. Since he is one of the actors I currently really dig, it was kind of a no brainer when I realized that it would be released on June 14th and it was relatively inexpensive.
I’m also going to admit that I’m pretty easily entertained.

From the director of Firestarter, Class of 1999, Showdown in Little Tokyo, and Commando comes Groupie, a psycho thriller about a psychopathic rock groupie terrorizing a popular rock band on their comeback tour.
Groupie marks the first time Mark L. Lester has stepped behind the camera since 2005's highly rated Syfy original Pterodactyl. Taryn Manning (Hustle & Flow) stars as a mysterious groupie that hooks up with a famous rock band named "The Dark Knights" looking to rise again on their comeback tour. As she insinuates herself more and more into their lives and career, the more death and mayhem follows.
Hal Ozsan ("90210") co-stars at the band's troubled lead singer, along with Betsy Rue (famously naked in My Bloody Valentine 3D) and the venerable Eric Roberts as the band's almost assuredly soon-to-be-dead manager. Michael Feifer (Dracula's Guest) and Randall Frakes (Hell Comes to Frogtown) are credited with the screenplay.

Mark L. Lester is a friend to horror and wild cinema in general. Though his name may not be instantly recognizable to some, a quick look at his credentials will rectify that!
He produced and contributed to the script for Tobe Hooper’s wonderfully weird The Funhouse. As a director, his savage and prophetic Class of 1984 still disturbs to this day, for an unnerving amount of reasons. His adaptation of Firestarter captured a freakish tornado of both unintentional and deliberate violence. And the battering ram impact of Commando, his most successful feature, remains respected worldwide.
Recognize him now? And do you want a chance to win an autographed DVD of Class of 1984 or Commando (see details below)?
Indeed, Firestarter and Commando are lined up for remakin’. Surprise, surprise. While the two 80’s staples are being put back through the machine, Lester is staying busy ushering new films onto...

Ex-business-guy-turned-actor Michael Teh is one of those multicultural hotties we so rarely get to feast our eyes upon in horror and sci-fi movies like Megashark vs. Giant Octopus. This versatile and sexy Australian-born actor has been everyone from Jesus to a sexy Native American fighting off hordes of angry ghosts in the sci-fi/horror Wraiths of Roanoke to a member of a medieval Mongol horde. Michael gets to action-your-socks-off in his new movie White Wall - a futuristic thriller in which he displays tons of leather and ass-kicking. Hopefully a drop-kick or two. Maybe a shirtless scene? Michael joins us as Mr. June in our growing pantheon of Scary Studs. I hope you enjoy him as much as we do...
The 'sexy' brooding look
You can play Native American, Jesus, and Asian...but what is your real cultural heritage?
In Western iconography Jesus has always been portrayed as a white man,...

After 2002's Die Another Day was reviled by critics, many fans and by veteran Bond star Roger Moore - despite being the highest-grossing 007 adventure at that time - producers admitted they wanted to return to the traditional formula.
They hit reset and the result was 2006's Casino Royale with Daniel Craig as a more craggy, edgy 007.
It was swiftly followed by direct sequel Quantum of Solace. The next instalment - so far known only as Bond 23 - is on hold while studio MGM is up for sale so it's the perfect time to look back on Bond and find the winning formula for the next film.
In this guest article, actor/writer/producer and self-confessed movie and comic book geek Danny Arroyo - whose upcoming films include Kill Katie Malone, Groupie, and Repo Chick, which was featured on here last November - takes a look at which Bond movies deserve a licence to thrill.
