By Bears Rebecca Fonte There is no point in the running time that CHAINED FOR LIFE is an easy film. Writer-director Aaron Schimberg fills every minute with a sort of uncomfortable tension that assaults the viewer with their own prejudices. It is a fairly active viewing process that forces the audience to constantly reassess their

Review By Bears Rebecca Fonte At the heart of Justin McConnell's horror flick LIFECHANGER is a love story, the forlorn fiction of one man returning to visit his last hope again and again only to have her never remember him. The reason she doesn't remember him is that he always comes to her in a

Special to AMFM Magazine from The Auto Trader When you think of some of the most exciting films that you’ve watched, there has almost always been a scene or two that features an exciting car chase, particularly in action movies.

I am more than willing to admit when something is clearly not for me.  I will just say if you watch 3 minutes of CRISIS JUNG and loved it you will love the entire film. This is one of those intentionally crazy animated films done in the style of HEAVY METAL meets Anime. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the Parisian Studio Bobbypills fills every second and every inch of the frame with mayhem and blood. I just reread the description of the film on the Fantasia website and it actually praises the film for cranking the intensity up to 11.…

Review By Bears Fonte Every year I get the privilege of covering Fantasia in Montreal, the largest genre Festival in North America, and certainly one of the most important. Usually I just enjoy a great number of screeners here in Austin, but every once in a while a film comes across my giant flat screen

Johnette Napolitano – bass, vocals, guitar James Mankey – guitars, bass, vocals Gabriel Ramirez Quezada – drums, vocals “The thing right now for me,” says Johnette Napolitano, “is to figure out how everything in my life fits together.” The Concrete Blonde singer-songwriter-bassist goes on to say she just graduated tattoo school and a “sewing thing.” It sounds just like what a retired musician might do with herself after decades spent on a record-tour-record cycle. Except Concrete Blonde’s future has never been so cemented. While the critically-lauded trio took two six-year breaks since forming in 1982, they always came back around.…
