Special When Lit
What made more money than the entire American movie industry through the 50s and 60s? Pinball. Special When Lit rediscovers the lure of a lost pop icon. A product of the mechanical and electrical age, the American invention swept the world and defined cool. Now it is relegated to a nostalgic footnote deserving a better fate. Joining the fans, collectors, designers and champion players from across the globe who share a world many of us didn't know still existed.

Year of the Horse
Year of the Horse
Indie director Jim Jarmusch lenses a low-tech tribute to protean rocker Neil Young and his long-standing band, Crazy Horse. Stitched together from archival material shot in 1976 and 1986 along with candid scenes of Young and the band kicking back between shows, this rockumentary is as ragged as it is direct.

Helmut Newton: Frames from the Edge
A camera crew follows Helmut Newton, the fashion and ad photographer whose images of tall, blond, big-breasted women are part of the iconography of twentieth-century erotic fantasy. He's on the go from L.A., to Paris, to Monte-Carlo, to Berlin, where he was a youth until he escaped from the Nazis in 1936. We see him on shoots, interviewing models, and discussing his work.

MC5: A True Testimonial
MC5: A True Testimonial
This documentary, made over a period of eight years, tells the remarkable story of an extremely influential rock'n'roll band. Starting from their mid-60's garage band roots (sounding amazingly like the Sonics), the Motor City 5 deveoped into an icon for a brand of loud, crushing music reflecting their industrial roots. Even if you don't care for their music (and you're bound to like even a few of their songs), their story is fascinating. It combines 60's protest, youthful braggadocio, and a style of music that would help carry one to the likes of Iggy and the Stooges (not to mention certain aspects of punk rock). This film is clearly a labor of love, combining extraordinarily rare live shows, still shots, a nearly-continuous backdrop of MC5 tunes, penetrating interviews with the remaining members and their spouses, and even FBI surveillance shots. It's the ultimate testimonial to a band that only gains in stature as time goes on.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Secrets Galore Behind the Gore (2004) *** 1/2 (out of 4) Extremely entertaining featurette that can be found on the Friday THE 13TH box set. This documentary takes a look at the special effects in three of the movies. We start off with the original film as director Sean Cunningham talks about what they were going to try and do with the effects and then we hear from Tom Savini who goes through each effect one by one explaining how he did it. Savini is back with Friday THE 13TH: THE FINAL CHAPTER where he once again talks about his work and especially the finale where Jason finally gets what was coming to him. Next up is Friday THE 13TH PART VII with John Carl Buechler and Kane Hodder discussing the effects and stunts in the film. Fans of the series are certainly going to enjoy this, although I'm sure some could argue that the other five films in the Paramount series should have been discussed. What we do get here is pretty good and especially the stuff with Savini because we get some behind-the-scenes stuff plus an alternate and unused scene from part four. Also on hand is some footage of Savini working on the death scene of Jason, which is very interesting. The final portion deals with Savini's make-up school. The stuff with Hodder and Buechler is also fun as both of them talk about their favorite scenes and discuss how the special effects were pulled off. Hodder also talks about what he wanted to bring to the character.
