Month: December 2024

Sav Rodgers’ documentary Chasing Chasing Amy premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Festival and has been making the festival rounds ever since, screening at 76 festivals around the world to date. Level 33 Entertainment gave the film a theatrical release last month, and now we’ve learned that Chasing Chasing Amy will be available to rent or own on VOD as of next Tuesday, December 17th!

MediaPlayNews reports that in the documentary, filmmaker Sav Rodgers takes a journey of self-discovery while making a documentary about Kevin Smith’s 1997 film Chasing Amy and its polarizing reputation among LGBTQ+ people. They go on to reveal that Chasing Chasing Amy explores the transformational impact of the ’90s cult classic on a 12-year-old queer kid from Kansas, coming of age and to terms with his identity. For young Sav Rodgers, the Kevin Smith cult classic became a life raft. As Rodgers examines the film and its making as a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ cinema, he finds himself at a complicated crossroads. The documentary is basically a feature expansion of a TED Talk that Rodgers gave several years ago.

Kevin Smith’s Chasing Amy has the following synopsis: Holden’s been looking for the perfect woman — funny, bright, and attractive. When he finally meets Alyssa, the woman of his dreams, she has someone a little different in mind — another woman! But together, Holden and Alyssa share the kind of relationship they’ve been looking for all along… and soon discover that the confusing ups and downs of love, sex, and friendship in the ’90s have never been so complicated… or so funny! The film stars Ben Affleck, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Lee, Dwight Ewell, Jason Mewes, and Smith himself, with appearances by Casey Affleck, Ethan Suplee, Matt Damon, Brian O’Halloran, Guinevere Turner, and producer Scott Mosier.

Chasing Chasing Amy features exclusive interviews with Kevin Smith, Joey Lauren Adams, Jason Lee, Guinevere Turner, Scott Mosier, Andrew Ahn, Robert Hawk, Princess Weekes, and Kevin Willmott.

I have been a fan of Kevin Smith for nearly thirty years now and love Chasing Amy, which ranks highly among my favorites, so I’m very interested in checking out Chasing Chasing Amy. I will definitely be watching it on VOD.

Vision Films has announced that they’ll be giving the creature feature DinoGator, directed by legendary B-movie maker Jim Wynorski, a VOD on January 14th – and with that date just one month away, we’ve gotten our hands on the trailer for the film! You can check it out in the embed above.

DinoGator has the following synopsis: When a gigantic, mutated reptile gets loose in the swampy wilderness, the murky waters suddenly become an all-you-can-eat human buffet! Now the scientist that created the beast, a big-game hunter, and a group of tourists must stop it from devouring the entire comunity. With their numbers dwindling, and the hungry creature closing in, they’ll have to use their wits to avoid becoming its next meal.

The film stars Michael Madsen (Kill Bill), Grace West (Waiting for Dracula), Aaron Groben (Art of the Dead), Lauren Parkinson (Murderbot), Jesse Bernstein (The Rookie), Paul Logan (The Horde), Bryan Clark (Amityville Uprising), and newcomer Savannah Goldstein. It has a running time of 82 minutes, so it’s not asking to take up too much of your day.

When I first saw the title, I would have sworn that this was a movie Wynorski made a decade ago – but while it will certainly fit right in with his past creature features like CobraGator, Sharkansas Women’s Prison Massacre, Piranhaconda, Dinocroc vs. Supergator, and Komodo vs. Cobra, this one is brand new. Wynorski has over 100 directing credits to his name (although he used different names on several of his movies), stretching back to 1980s classics like Chopping Mall, Deathstalker II, and The Return of Swamp Thing. (Some of his ’90s credits include Sorority House Massacre II, Hard to Die, and Ghoulies IV.) His most recent directing credit was on the Full Moon release Murderbot. He has made a lot of really fun movies, and Chopping Mall is my favorite of the bunch.

Are you a fan of the works of Jim Wynorski and/or this type of creature feature, and will you be watching DinoGator when it reaches VOD next month? Check out the trailer, then let us know by leaving a comment below.
