Founded in 1999 by Barry Hogan, the All of Tomorrow's Parties, or ATP, music festival began as an alternative to the standard corporate music concert. Each year one group or artist is chosen to curate the festival and select its performers.

A perfect parody of Blaxploitation, Black Dynamite is so well made that it pays homage to the genre as much as it satirizes. The film opens up with a commerical for Anaconda Malt Liquor which apparently give you the Ooooooooooh.
With Picture Me, model Sara Ziff and filmmaker Ole Schnell have done just that. Imagine yourself at fourteen. Were you finishing 8th grade? Worrying about what to wear to school the next day? Now imagine yourself at fourteen – as a model. Your agency has flown you to Paris, the costs of which, along with your hotel and driver, are being billed back to you. You’re told where to show up, but not what to do, exactly - except smile and make everyone like you.
We've all done it. Sat in the car stuck in traffic after a bad day, imagining the verbal lashing we should've, would've or could've given to whichever clueless moron had done us wrong most recently. All of a sudden we are witty, bold, we, as James Brown would say,"don't take no mess."
This LA FILM FESTIVAL movie romp takes us through three distinct independent movies and genres: Mid Afternoon Lunch (Italian slice of life comedy), Harmony and Me (Love sick semi-improvised comedy), and No Impact Man (One family’s real life Eco-Documentary). All were funny, which helped pull Ann (my lovely woman) and I through a wonderful evening of film. I gave the first film a Good (3) rating and so did Ann, but by the end of the night Ann wanted to downgrade it to a Poor (2) - that means the films get better as this article jumps onward.
“It’s sort of notorious for being the worst horror film ever made. And it is really atrociously bad,” laughs Rooftop Films Program Director Dan Nuxoll of the film Troll 2. Other critics’ descriptions of the flick include: “majestic badness,” “a travesty,” “it's so bad it's fantastic,” “absolute trash,” and then unexpectedly, “one of the most unintentionally brilliant accomplishments in cinema.”
I’m going back to Cali, by way of a Quantic soundtrack and motion picture story telling by director Brian Cross. In this descriptive, visual demographic flip book, B+ does it again, by expressing alternative truths in the absence of words. Sure, it’s easy to capture obvious beauty and scenery, as well as the ordinary horse's ass. But can you capture Electric Jesus, Black Mary, and musical moving chairs?
