I am trying to get members of TAPS to call in to defend the show but not sure if that will happen. We welcome intelligent debate but will disconnect anyone who calls in to just be hateful.

Legend Of God’s Gun

In the spaghetti like western Legend of God’s Gun, a gun toting priest walks his way back to the town Playa Diablo to avenge the notorious scorpion venom drinking bandit El Sobero. El Sobero is never alone, he is always flanked with his loyal band of heathens that are ready to crawl or drawl for this lead outlaw. Now add in a goofy bounty hunter who gets looped and lays in the dirt while his catch is hog tied and ready to be delivered to town for the 1000 reward.

The hard looking sheriff named Colt just can’t seem to get a smile on his face. Could the fact that his two timing wife is sleeping with the deputy have anyting to do with it? Maybe Colt should just go over to the whore house and kick it with that black eyed hooker with her front tooth missing. But don’t mess with her because she packs a hell of a punch.

Can the bounty hunter make it back to get his cash or will he become another victim claimed by the dry desert? Can Colt go on without confronting his sleazy wife or should he just let it go since he doesn’t seem to really care about it? It comes to a showdown where Colt and El Sobero stand facing each other ready to draw their pistols to prove he is the baddest of them all.

We’ll all miss Colt but you have to remember if you mess with the best your going to get burned. The priest comes out of hiding and reveals himself ending up in a gun showdown with El Sobero. Who will be the quick drawl that will claim the others life? Should you put your money on the line of just leave it in your pocket where it belongs? Always know when you should throw in the towel!

Cannibal Lovers-Tara e.

It’s the end of the World as you know it, but you don’t feel fine! You feel exhausted, full of despair and drained of all hope. How long will you and your mate be able to survive? The cold cement floor has a small mattress that you both huddle on hoping for a miracle. As you lie there you can hear the chaos that surrounds you but so far you have been lucky and nothing has broken in to feast upon your flesh. The guttural noises you hear outside makes you want put your fingers in your ears to try and block it out.

But as you lay there you envision those monsters out there getting to you and that’s all there is too it. How many days can you as a couple make it with no food or water? Both of your belly’s burn with hunger to the point of when you sleep your dreaming of cheeseburgers and hot fudge sundaes. What wouldn’t you do for a simply candy bar right now? You’re ready to sell your soul to fill the void inside you. But there is no one here offering you anything in order for you to do so. How far would you go to live another day?

Robert Newman Interview

1. What film did you see that made you want to get involved in directing?

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you…Home Alone. I remember being 11 and sitting in the theatre just watching this little kid running around on screen, and the audience’s reaction to him. I was thinking I could do that. That was until I found out I have no acting ability. Somehow from that movie, I was able to harness an appreciation for being behind the camera, instead of in front of it…and a collective sigh of relief was heard everywhere.

2. What were the movies you won awards for about?

The most recent one was “Ghost Hunters, Inc. Presents: The Graveyard Shift”. At the time, I went the artsy-fartsy route and decided to infuse documentary footage within a wraparound story. The film itself is about Ghost Hunters, Inc. A group of teens in Northeastern Pennsylvania who were stirring up the paranormal communities with their unorthodox methods for seeking out the supernatural. Part of the film’s success has led them onto bigger, and more exciting things. The film has been praised and criticized for the style of filmmaking, but you can’t please everyone.

3. What’s your favorite horror movie and why?

That’s a tough one. I like several for different reasons. If I had to pick one…maybe two, I’d say the original Dawn of the Dead. I am a big fan of George Romero’s work and I haven’t seen any film quite match it’s excellence, despite how much the film has aged by today’s standards. I also enjoy Pet Semetary, for the simple reason, it’s still the only horror film that genuinely gives me the creeps, and it was well put together.

4. Why do they call you Spot?

I wish I could lay down some ground-breaking story, or at least something halfway cool. I have a patch of silver hair, that started growing when I was three. In Elementary school, my much older brothers (bless them) told me to tell everybody that I stuck my genitals in a light socket. I earned every one of those discipline slips. There you have it. Phenomenal.

5. You have directed over 20 shorts and two features, do you have a favorite out of all of them?

They all have their own charms, but honestly I’ll have to go with the cliche’d answer and say “Clown”. Not only has it been the most impressive based on it’s tiny budget, but remembering all of the challenges, and everything that has come to be from it, it’s got a special place in my heart…right next to the Doritos and Molly Ringwald.

6. You are also musically inclined. Have you ever contributed your music to your films?

As much as possible actually. When you’ve been stuck with low-budgets and having to use all of that for cam rental and feeding your cast and crew, there usually isn’t much left for music licensing. It’s tragic, because there is a lot of good music out there I would enjoy having in one of my films.

7. You sing, play guitar and bang on the drums! Are you in a band?

Only in my head…I’m not kidding.

8. Clown was a pretty nifty little film. Are you pleased with peoples reaction to it?

I have had some damn good reviews, and there has been nothing better than sitting at the premiere and second screening in a full house theatre, and watching people laugh at the right moments and jump at the right moments.

9. Are you in the middle of filming anything now?

Right now we are in talks to reshoot the beginning of The Graveyard Shift with a much bigger budget
as well as splicing in all new interviews, 5 years after we wrapped filming, and then re-releasing it.

10. Any exciting plans for the future?Well besides Clown being released on DVD next month, and reshooting parts of The Graveyard Shift, I’m working on two different scripts. One being a possible sequel to Clown, and the other being a “road” comedy. We’ll see which one gets to be made first.

Meloncholy Baby-Sean Hood

16 Minutes
Director- Sean Hood

A skitzed out man named Zacharia sits in a barely lit room separating screws, pennies, pebbles, you name it- he’s dividing it. Watching this man makes me realize he must have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I feel for him, I have OCD myself and it’s like living in your own personal hell. Not everyone has the same symptoms but they sure as hell have the same overbearing anxiety. It sucks trying to live like nothings wrong with while your insides are totally fuckin tortured.

OCD will consume you if you let it, it’ll have you acting out these ridiculas rituals like suddenly thinking you left your curling iron on. Now even though you know damn well you shut that thing off, your brain still forces you to you bug out go back and check…again! Is it a chemical imbalance? They say it is but I honestly hope that someone cures this awful mind disease. A pretty young woman moves in and Zacharia secretly spies on her while she goes out to hang up laundry or even when she is getting changed.

Zachariah slowly develops a fixation of her, it’s possible he might even love her. He is living in recluse so it’s not like he is ever going to act upon it. He can’t even cross the threshold of the door to get his mail or even the bags of food that is delivered for him. You have to keep how powerful the brain really is in mind. It can completely debilitate you and cripple you from every day activities. So one day the woman’s estranged boyfriend shows up to hurt her. Will Zacharia be able to leave that room to help? Or will his mental disorder keep in the house ignoring the situation with regret?

Clown (2008)

Clown (2008)
Directed by- Robert Newman

What’s better then getting together with a few close friends? A group of five end up taking a drive out to the remote wilderness where they sort of borrow a little quaint but weird cabin. The kids are forewarned by a leering pervert that they shouldn’t be there…trust me you just know trouble is coming when you get a load of this feak! Lewis the tall goofy tough guy of the group who dates dark haired Nancy pops his ass one and then they settle in for the night.

After drinking some beers and relaxing, Lewis and Nancy suddenly get a little frisky and head out to the car where they hope to get some privacy. Inside handsome passive Josh secretly crushes on Rachael while obnoxious Mark just gets the fuck on everyone’s nerves. Rachael seems to be a little anxious, slightly resembling a worry wart but just not as extreme.

Rachael decides to go outside and try and clear her head and she see’s this seriously creepy clown. He resembled one of my favorite bands The Smashing Pumpkins front man Billy Corgan. He was accompanied with the perfect creepy clown laugh. If I was at the cabin outside by myself and saw him, I would definitely not be sticking around to find out if he was real or not.

Josh doesn’t believe Rachael and basically tells her she needs to check herself before she wrecks herself! Is this clown real? The bodies that are piling up are insisting that he is. Why would a clown be here in the woods with them? Does there really need to be a reason…people are messed up and you could probably see a clown at Kmart. Can Rachael survive this terrifying nightmare that has taken over her life?

Spiker

It’s another beautiful morning in Long Island and little do the town’s folks know that the convicted monster of a serial killer called The Spiker is being transported from the local prison to an asylum. This albino freak looked funny- sticking out like a sore thumb on the barge shackled in his bright orange prison garb. Well Lisa Shaw is a relative of the town’s horrific murder victim, it’s her aunt and since they think Spiker is locked up they decide to go party in the old house where it all happened.

Every town has one. The local urban legend or even the true story of a murder so horrific that it sticks around for decades torturing the neighborhood children’s brains. Jess and her party ready friends are at the house and the witch wannabe Erin decides to hold a séance inviting Jess’s aunt to come speak with them. Lisa suddenly sees a ghost dressed in a white as snow wedding dress with brilliant stains of bright red blood. She follows her and finds a diary that gives her clues as to how the Spiker and her aunt were involved.

I really liked this flick, it was creepy as hell the way Spiker would rapidly walk clanging those railroad spikes together to make this chilling clanking sound. You knew as he traveled he had one thing on his mind and that was to head back to the house and murder anyone who even comes close to it. I liked the whole ghost story that played out in this otherwise slasher story. Will anyone survive the night? Can Lisa and her cheerleading pals manage to get out of there alive?

Can’t these poor tortured ghosts rest in peace? Elizabeth’s grave is on the property with her house, could this be why the bride still haunts the home? Spiker just might of had more on his mind then we thought he did. What will become the fate of the escaped albino prisoner? Will he fulfill his murderous rampage and live on? Or will he end up a victim himself? Maybe now the house with the grave has a few more soul less ghosts inhabiting the rooms that once held a home!

The Wonder of it All- A Jeffrey Roth film

82 Minutes
Directed by: Jeffrey Roth
J R Productions

The Wonder of it All was amazing to watch. You get to experience these brave men’s journey to outer space, to the moon. It was all inspired by president Kennedy who one day in 1961 said in his speech about how before the decade is out we should be able to land a man on the moon and return him home safely. This film is about just that, it’s about how the lives of 12 moonwalkers were changed forever.

Sit and watch as each man tells you of his experience of being involved in such a legendary situation. Looking thru footage of them on the moon it can’t help but make you smile. They are like little kids, so excited to be there that they are singing and jumping around enjoying the moon and what it has to offer. While the men were there they also had a job to do.

Bringing home some samples of rock, sand, and other required material so they can study it and help us gain more knowledge of this mysterious place. It was a magical trip for all that were involved. The Wonder of it All is a fine example of our history that is very insightful as well as being nostalgic. It left me in awe of how dedicated these men were to science, dying was a risk that none were afraid to take.

I am not a science buff or someone who would ever really choose to watch this film as a form of entertainment. I would of missed out on all of the great things these men have done. People like myself have to start breaking out of the box and start trying new films instead of just watching what our favorite genre has to give. The Wonder of it All
has so much to offer it’s viewers so I really hope you decide to give it a chance.

Emerald Cowboy

I dreaded watching this movie since I thought it was going to flat out boring, I was proved wrong. I am proved wrong a lot of the time but we all know how we pick films and books by the cover. It’s what catches our attention first then we read what the flicks about on the back. Emerald Cowboy surprised me by making me want to know more about the whole emerald trade.

This is a true story about a very motivated Japanese business man who sets out to conquer the emerald trade. What was great about him was that he refused to do anything illegal. If you came to him with legit business offers he would listen but if it was illegal he would refuse. He might of been ruthless but he had morals and abided the law- a truly honest man.

Suddenly the union members are extremely jealous of his success and decide that something must be down to stop him from owning the emerald trade. They were not happy seeing him thrive at being an honest, hard working man. As the union grows larger and stronger the hate for Mr. Hayata grows rapidly and they decide it’s war! It’s sad when that green eyed monster steps in and takes control.

I would of never picked this film off a shelf of movies at Blockbuster, and that’s a shame. I would of missed out on a totally new film experience to me. It was interesting, informative and well told. Never was there a moment where I thought “How much longer is this?” Emerald Cowboy has enough oomph to get you thru to the end with no problem. Totally enjoyable!
