The Cinema of Jon Fedele. Part One.

Wild Malibu Weekend starts with and ends with tanned young ladies in 90's style bikinis...or less. In the land of T&A, Wild Malibu Weekend reigns supreme. Lots of thong bikinis as well. Directed by the lead actor of Flesh Gordon, Jason Williams knows what the people want.
Tits!
The entire film deals with a bikini competition that is televised on some obscure Malibu cable station. The girls have to do various things like pop balloons, put condoms on cucumbers and play musical chairs. The bizarre part is we see the entirety of each game. I had no idea that a game of musical chairs could take so damned long.
Barbara Moore as the simple country girl is probably the cutest of the bunch. The one sex scene is played for laughs and takes about three seconds. The host of the show, Marv, played by Avery Masters is pretty good and it makes me wonder why this is his only flick.
The stage band, The Hypermatics is a pretty okay surf band that adds a lot to the proceeedings.
Our star, Jon Fedele plays a surly security guard and also does moldmaking behind the scenes.

March 20, 2012, New York, NY - Greetings from Tromaville! Fabien Martorell's 2009 documentary Tromatized: Meet Lloyd Kaufman, a portrait of Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma and creator of The Toxic Avenger, will have its online premiere this week at Prescreen.com.



Starring Stan Lee, Roger Corman, James Gunn, Eli Roth, Trey Parker, Joe Lynch, Count Smokula and many others, Tromatized: Meet Lloyd Kaufman is a biography of legendary and eccentric director/writer/producer Kaufman and his film company Troma Entertainment, which has specialized in independent movies for over 35 years. The film was awarded Best Biographical Documentary at New York International Independent Film & Video Festival by Festival President Abel Ferrara. Director Fabien Martorell is currently producing the feature film Snuff, based on the book by Chuck Palahniuk (best-selling author of Fight Club).

Established in 1974 by Yale friends Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz, Troma Entertainment is one of the longest-running independent movie studios in United States history, and one of the best-known names in the industry. World famous for movie classics like Kaufman's The Toxic Avenger, Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, Class of Nuke'em High, Mother's Day and Tromeo and Juliet, Troma's seminal films are now being remade as big budget mainstream productions by the likes of Brett Ratner, Richard Saperstein, Akiva Goldsman, and Steven Pink.

HELL'S HIGHWAY (2001)

I have watched trailers for this thing for years and finally decided to watch it. At first it just seems so formulaic, but I kept watching. Phoebe Dollar can keep your attention even if she is a little odd looking. Ron Jeremy's cameo was pretty funny, even for Ron, but I just knew where it was going.

Or so I thought.

This flick has the weirdest turn around ending I have seen in a long time.

I initially wanted to discuss it, but even an 11 year old flick deserves a spoiler free mention.

Here's the trailer;



We can discuss it in the comments if you want.
