The 2nd annual South Texas Underground Film Festival, running Oct. 3-6 in Corpus Christi, Texas, is a massive celebration of international alternative cinema, including plenty from Texas filmmakers, of course.
The fest opened on the 3rd with the drop-dead hilarious comedy Pictures of Superheroes by Austin filmmaker Don Swaynos.
But, there’s still plenty more to see throughout the jam-packed weekend wherein films screen from morning until, well, early into the next morning.
The film that’s absolutely not to be missed is the screening on the 6th at 10:30 a.m. of Savage Witches, the amazing celebration of the art of filmmaking by British directors Daniel Fawcett & Clara Pais. A colorful spectacle of multiple filmmaking styles, Savage Witches is a real joy to experience.

The missing piece of the Walter Schreifels reunion puzzle has at last fallen into place: Quicksand, the seminal post-hardcore band Schreifels led in the early ’90s, has announced a tour following a handful of reunion gigs, according to Exclaim. For years, Schreifels seemed content to move on from his bands just before they really took off. In the ’80s, it was his hardcore band Gorilla Biscuits. In the early ’90s, it was Quicksand. Around the millennium, it happened again with Rival Schools. At least Gorilla Biscuits and Quicksand went on to achieve “influential but unheralded” status. But in 2005, a ...

Okay. This is it. The big one. I don’t even know where to start. It’s like a giant sheet made of palaces and puzzles and toys—and there’s always a piece that’s new to be found, and a new mystery around every corner. The missing piece is the one thing that people always look for—that missing piece is what can make or break a review of this movie. Sometimes (yeah, y’know, on small occasions, now and then) called The Greatest Movie of All Time, Citizen Kane is considered to be so deep, so complex, so symbolic, so artful, so beautiful, so unimaginably fantastic, that a review of it can be a large undertaking. You’ve got a lot of competition, but sometimes numbers don’t really matter—like the value of the fortune of our movie’s central figure (neither a hero or villain...

Jersey Shore’s third season concluded last night with an utterly useless reunion show. The Situation wore an emo-hoodie that made him look like an evil supervillain lurking in his evil smush-cave. Snooki said that she didn’t love Vinny anymore. Awwwww. But only because he’s transformed from a lovable everyguy into a girl-crazy douche-rocket. You tell ‘em, Shnookums! Deena actually said ”Poop comes out of your butt.” (Science!) Good news: Sammi and Ronnie are still split up! Bad news: They still love each other! Ronnie explained that he felt betrayed when Sammi tried to hook up with...

Jersey Shore just wrapped up its third season with an aimless batch of nonsensical episodes featuring depressingly repetitive trips to nightclubs mixed in with depressingly repetitive relationship drama and depressingly copious alcohol consumption, which is coincidentally the exact plot description of the Italian film classic La Dolce Vita. So you would imagine that the Shore cast would fit right in over in Italy, where the fourth season is set to be shot. But you’d be wrong, dead wrong! As noted by Hollywood Reporter, the Italian media is beginning to sound off negatively about the impending invasion of the Shore tandroids.

The third season finale of MTV’s Jersey Shore helped fuel the return of The Hard Times of Rj Berger to new heights.
The second season debut of Berger has been promoted pretty relentlessly on the network — and it looks like the support paid off. The premiere drew 3.1 million viewers. Now, that’s still down quite a ways from Jersey Shore, but MTV doesn’t expect its efforts in the scripted drama genre to match its reality kingpin. Lead-in
Shore had its highest-rated finale yet, delivering 7.6 million viewers (though that can’t match the show’s crazy 8.8 million peak back...

From Texas to New York to Minnesota, and now, with True Grit, to the old west – the Coen brothers' career has been spent mapping the history and geography of America. Tom Shone meets them.
In the gilded hospitality suite of New York's Ritz-Carlton, the Coen brothers are pondering their success. "We are part of the system more than you would suspect," says Ethan, the younger, more combative (and, one suspects, more emotional) of the two brothers. "We are like Hollywood insiders now. It's really weird."
This draws a nod from Joel, the older, more laconic one. (You could imagine him playing bass for Patti Smith.) "One day you wake up and you realise that's happened and it's a shock," he says. "You find yourself at the Academy awards, or wherever the hell it is, and suddenly you know all these people. And you think: 'How the fuck did I get here?...
