    Quote:
    The creators of the skateboarding magazine Big Brother go on an East Coast tour, and get into some pretty wild shenanigans.

    Quote:
    This is one of the most wild movies I think I’ve ever seen, there’s quite literally no way this would’ve gotten released today. Most of it is skateboarding videos and that’s fun but the rest is people doing stupid shit and it’s hilarious but so bad at the same time, it is quite literally a product of it’s timeRead More »

    Joe Spencer, a member of a motorcycle gang, is taking a shower. After his bout with personal hygiene, Joe encounters Andy Warhol’s “superstars,” who engage him in conversation.

    Quote:
    Sex, Hood, Skate, and Videotape shot, edited, and released by Ian Reid in 2006 is a legendary and infamous video that has been unavailable in it’s entirety for 10+ years.

    “I’m gonna take this time out to talk to you about Ian Reid’s video. It’s a timepiece that takes you on a trip from the bottom to the top. It was made amidst the streets of New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia and Los Angeles in the middle of skating with my friends, shootouts, sex, money and drugs. I’m here to adjust the game, to put the integrity back in skateboarding. The game’s all wrong- I’m gonna show you how to do this. Ian Reid’s video is 110% RAW and UNCUT. This is how a video should be made.”Read More »

Looking for help, the four happen upon the farmhouse of an elderly couple, Elvin (Richard Little) and May (Barbara Wilhide), which is located next to a huge barn. Elvin and May have already become lost in the darkness of the barn, and soon two of the lost travelers are suffering the same fate as they search for friendly strangers. However, while they can barely see a hand in front of their face, they discover they’re not alone in the barn, which has become home to a huge swarm of bloodthirsty bats. The Roost is framed by an introduction and postscript from a television horror show host, played by Tom Noonan. ~ Mark Deming, RoviRead More »
