Hi Gang!
After a lengthy absence, and due to a bout of (temporary) unemployment, I'm back in the blogging saddle. At least for now, until I run out of topics or you get sick of my ass.
Lets just get right into it... there's a shitload of events to cap off the month of March. First off...
NEAR DARK! If you're not familiar with this movie, all you need to know is that it's the first solo directorial effort from this year's Academy Award Winner for Best Director, (the uber hot) Kathryn Bigelow. Plus, its a vampire movie that doesn't involve shirtless, poncing, sparkly models from Details magazine pretending to be creatures of the night. The vamps in this one are of the freaky, southern-fried drifter variety - stone cold killers. As an added bonus, 1/3 of the cast of Aliens are featured.
Don't miss out on a rare 35mm screening of this horror classic, this Friday, March 26, 9PM at Metro Cinema. Tickets are only $10 and available at the box office. We'll have prizes to give away, and as always, drinks will be provided by Filthy McNasty's (where good people do bad things!).
Then on Saturday, we've got not one, but two events involving sexy, kickass girls. Whet your appetite for destruction with the Alberta Six Pack Roller Derby match, where the girls of Eville will take on Calgary in not one, but THREE matches.
The girls will be hitting the track at 6PM, but before that, you can check out Eville's new junior team, showing off their moxie at 5:45. There will be plenty of vendors on hand, and even a wrestling demonstration at halftime!
Tickets are available at all Happy Harbor Comics locations, Megatunes on Whyte Ave, NABI in St Albert, online at rollergirl.ca or email info@e-villederby.com. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. Kids 10 and under are FREE

Turkey Shoot: FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN!
Shopping for costumes stressing you out? Let off a little steam and have some fun with FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN!
This Warhol produced cult-classick is screening in 35mm for one night only! With live commentary from two of Edmonton's funniest film connaisseurs!
15 minutes of fame? Try 2 hours of crap! This 1970’s vintage 3-D horror extravaganza contains the classic line “To know death, Otto, you have to f**k life... in the gall bladder!” It’s well known that Dave Clarke has patterned his acting career after the work of Udo Kier, and Jeff Page is intrigued by any film that has a character named Nicholas, the stableboy. Say, boys and girls, let's shoot a turkey for Halloween!
October 28 @ 8PM at Metro Cinema!

Strigoi!
Hey gang! If, like myself, you simply can't wait until October 15 for DEDfest: Deadmonton's Horror Fest, check out some of the cool new genre flicks at this week's Edmonton International Film Fest.Tonight, we have a quirky vampire comedy from England called Strigoi. From the EIFF website:
"STRIGOI is a Vampire movie that defies categorization. Shedding a fantastic light on a post-communist Romanian village, the film introduces us to an ancient myth: Strigoi – the souls that rise again after death to seek justice if they’ve been wronged, their appetites intensified by a hunger for blood. Vlad (Catalin Paraschiv) investigates a mysterious death in his grandfather’s village that raises questions about land ownership in the community. The trail points to ex-communist bully, Constantin Tirescu, and his wife. But when Vlad confronts them, he discovers that the richest landowners in the village have become real bloodsuckers!"
Strigoi won the gold medal for Best Independent Feature at this year's Toronto After Dark Film Fest, so don't miss it's Edmonton premiere! Also, director Faye Jackson will be in attendance!

The Iggy Dead
Why am I posting an old Iggy Pop video from the '80's? It was brought to my attention my the Lascivious Lisa Ladouceur on Rue Morgue Radio that the video was directed by none other than Sam Raimi. You can definitely see his touch here. Plus, Iggy is cool as shit (although I'm not sure about the chainmail tank top).
"What's wrong with chainmail?"
