LAST SEEN: Available for viewing on several Net sites. AMERICAN HOME VIDEO: Only on public domain dupes. REASON FOR DISAPPEARANCE: Suppressed by the U.S. Army for 35 years, then released to an underwhelming response. CHANCES OF SEEING A DVD RELEASE: As an orphaned film, there is no interest in coordinating a much-needed restoration. Mental health therapy and treatment continues to hold a nasty stigma, even in today’s allegedly sophisticated world....

At its simplest explanation, the film is about the filming of an independent film, from the giddy celebration of preparation to the meandering days of production to the somewhat unfortunate and bitter end. As we see snippets from the film being made, we also get a documentary-style view of the production and then, at the widest distance, we get an entirely fuller view of events that even the documentary look is missing....

Director Michael Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer used to go together like beans and cornbread. Every film Bay has ever directed, whether it was “Bad Boys” or the unbearable “Pearl Harbor,” Bruckheimer was the man behind the man behind the camera. He was like the George character in “Of Mice and Men,” constantly looking out for his pal Lennie. It must have been time for George to let Lennie go; “The Island” marks Bay’s first directorial outing without him and “The Island” ends up being a poor man’s attempt at futuristic sci-fi smarts along the lines of “Logan’s Run” or “THX-1138” From a literary standpoint, it’s obvious that “The Island” was influenced by the utopian works of Orwell and Huxley, only this film briefly touches on the deep moral issues these authors’ novels covered so well....

But, in fairness, it is difficult to judge “Atoll K” fairly because there is no definitive version of the film: four different theatrical versions were sent into release in France, Italy, Great Britain and the U.S. The American version was considered the worst of the bunch: retitled “Utopia,” it cut substantial amounts of footage from the European prints and used an incompetent English-dubbed soundtrack. The resulting presentation was often incoherent to follow and a nightmare on the eyes and ears....

We’re introduced to a man with three special women in his life: his girlfriend, her best friend, and the “other one.” Through Adam and Kirsty’s interactions it becomes clear that these important women, in particular, “the one who stayed,” have set quite a high bar for his current girlfriend. Through a unique blend of inner-thought monologues, emotional exchanges, and montages, the young couple works through their difficult tensions. Neville’s fifth film (which he wrote, produced, directed, edited, and starred in) was shot on location in London and makes due with an extremely small budget....

Mark Daniels’ mindblowing, 17 minute grindhouse flick, Too Late to Quit, is not a movie to be taken lightly. Nor is his principal actor, Brook Hall, who portrays the almighty Dr. B. Savage in all his diabolical glory. Savage wasn’t always the embittered, disfigured, violent hack we see in his later years. He started out ok—really. He preached softly and devotedly to small children, patients with lung cancer, obese, cigar smoking business tycoons, and even his cheating, whoring excuse for a wife....

Unfrosted is the not-so-true origin of the Pop Tart. Bob Cabana (Jerry Seinfeld) is the executive marketing director at Kellogg’s and works directly under it’s current owner, Edsel Kellogg III (Jim Gaffigan). As Kellogg’s celebrates a banner year in the cereal game, their rival, Marjorie Post (Amy Schumer) of Post fame, has stolen the formula for a fruity pastry that can be cooked in a toaster from Kellogg. Now, Post and Kellogg are in a race to get their fruit-filled pastry first to market....

Setting out into the streets in one of the most pleasant drug trip scenes ever made, Burke’s (Locorriere) adored by everyone he sees and when he meets a pretty woman named Sarafina (Hill), he hooks up with her and they have drug-fueled sex for days and days. Life is pretty great when you’ve got meth. That is, until you start robbing liquor stores and lighting people on fire. It’s easy to focus on the dangers of cooking meth: handling hazardous materials, getting robbed by tweakers, and getting lit on fire....

Her sister Blair (Palughi) also lives in the Enclave, holding yoga workshops as well as decorating Yeti cups with Bible verses and sparkles. However, the Enclave is in need of funds to continue, as many houses are still empty and dark mountains are closing in. So Moni has reached out to sites like Reddit, offering donors the opportunity to put their own modifications on the neighborhood. This took off, but in no time, Moni and Blair noticed that many of the changes were not what they were expecting....

Christina Vinsick’s Whisper Me A Lullaby is a tragic character study of a person lost within themselves. As the film goes along, you get hope from time to time that Charlie will be able to climb out of her darkness as easily as she climbs a rock, but ultimately depression isn’t something that operates on simple logic and reasoning. If it did, it wouldn’t make sense that Charlie is so sad all the time....

Is time the linear, clock-measured construct that most believe, or do past, present and future recurrently overlap in one dimension? Can events interrupt time’s rhythm, cause a glitch and be corrected? Is time travel really possible? These inquiries baffling scientists, philosophers, artists and poets from time immemorial are precisely those tackled by auteur, Linda L Larson in A Cabin in Time. However, if so many films and T.V. productions address such issues (Lost Horizon (1937), Portrait of Jenny (1948), Somewhere in Time (1980), Mulholland Drive (2001), Lost Highway (1997), Twilight Zone (1959-1964) and Ghost Whisperer (2005-), to name just a few in the U....

Alhaji also has a girlfriend named Cori, whom he has dated for seven years and plans to marry soon. Over the course of their weekend together, we get a deep glimpse into the two brothers’ relationship. Most of the film is just their free-flowing banter....

What’s rather funny is that when someone says they “slept like a baby,” they’re trying to say they had a good night’s sleep. Such individuals have clearly never had an infant in their house! Babies wake up constantly during the night in need of diaper changes, food, and cuddles. So, the next time someone throws out that old trope, tease them by inferring they wet the bed several times and woke up crying for their momma....

Cara (Iverson) lives in her grandpa’s cabin to hide out for a while. She’s off the grid due to an impending sexual harassment suit against her former boss. But trying to spare her parents, Cara lies to them and claims she’s burnt out. Since Cara is a coder, she still works on her algorithm from the cabin. Aside from her parents, her only contact with the outside world is fellow programmer Llamaz (William Benedict), whom she calls for anything....

This rises above many other rock documentaries. The inner dynamics of a band filled with strong personalities is shown warts and all. Whole ranges of emotions are displayed. There are similarities to “Anvil! The Story of Anvil” in how it’s very much like a family with love and resentment intermingled with heavy drama and long standing respect. But elements unique to Fishbone are just as interesting. The original six members met in junior high school....

As Thress wanders through the devastation, he is confronted by a dark force he’s never seen before. Fall of Hammerdome is a quite impressive indie animated short. It’s 2D animation harkens back to the old Hobbit television special. The characters are hand-drawn and nicely designed. Limited animation techniques are used for movement....

“Flesh for the Beast” was definitely made with love by director West. Though in the DVD’s featurette, the producers cite Fulci and Argento, the director that West seems to be evoking most here is Jean Rollin (if I may go out on a limb, here). And there are a number of really disturbing set pieces that really set the audience on edge – the opening sequence culminating in a man being dragged quickly into the darkness by unseen hands springs immediately to mind....

Massachusetts-based D.J. Beauregard was initially a staunch conservative, but realized he would have more career leverage in his state as a Democrat – thus, he happily switched sides and worked on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Virginian Ben Trump keeps his conservative ideals in place, even though he finds most of his peers abhor his brand of politics. And Pennsylvanian Nick Troiano drifts from his Republican beliefs to an Independent realm that becomes fairly shaky in a divided partisan environment....
