Streaming on Freevee | imdb | trailer

Sorry, this movie is is no longer streaming on any of my usual services. However it is available on Freevee, Plex, and Kanopy (+Tubi in SD) as of 1.6.23.

I bet you’ve noticed I keep mentioning my love for seeing revival film screenings. This documentary will give you a good idea why. It’s focused on the New Beverly Cinema in LA, but talks about revival theaters in general as well. When I visited Los Angeles a couple of years back I got to see A Boy and His Dog there and it was really a special experience. I suggest if you’re ever in that neck of the woods you make time for a night at New Beverly. Between you and me, they won’t give you a hard time if you bring your own booze. Just be discreet. Well, more discreet than me. I was cracking beers like a total jerk. Don’t do that. Thanks New Bev for not kicking me out!

Not available on Blu-ray.

A Danish comedian looks into a conspiracy theory behind the mysterious 1961 death of the Secretary-General of the United Nations. The film starts out with a Spinal Tap feel and ends with some very real and disturbing discoveries. Highly recommended.

Not available on Blu-ray.

Burden (2016)

Chris Burden was one of the most notorious performance artists of all time. His later career focused more on installation and sculpture, but his work always remained fascinating. I saw a large exhibition of his work at The New Museum a few years back and loved it. Burden is a solid introduction to the artists’ work that I think would appeal to anyone that isn’t easily offended. I refuse to close this recommendation with “Give it a shot.” Nope. Won’t do it.

Not available on Blu-ray.

I saw an exhibition of Szukalski’s work at The Visionary Art Museum many years ago and became an instant fan. This documentary was a treat as I knew very little about the man. Yes, he worked for the Nazis, but I feel he redeemed himself. Even if you disagree with me, I feel this is an excellent movie worth watching. I give Struggle my highest recommendation.

Not available on Blu-ray.

The Killing of America (1981)

This is what I consider the best true crime documentary ever made. It covers street crime through serial killers. The highlight for me is a detailed on-camera interview with Edmund Kemper. Not recommended for the faint of heart. This is the restored Severin version which looks better than ever. Their Blu-ray is an excellent investment as it contains the longer alternate Japanese version of the movie with weirder / kitschy non-crime related sections.

Available on Blu-ray via Severin.
