Did someone say TETSUO: THE IRON MAN? Hot damn!

So we have 13 films, 4 of which are premieres of some sort or the other.
That's pretty darn impressive!!!

I wish next weekend would hurry up and get here already!

WOW

13 features, no repeats.

WOW

4 premieres, all of which look interesting and don't appear to be time wasters like HELIX and such.

WOW

I must chek myself into a clinic and then go to the drycleaners, 'cause I just filled my pants! Ditto on what everyone else said. 4 premieres! NO repeats! 13 Films!

Automatons looks interesting. It was shot on 8mm or super 8mm and transfered to 35mm. It's only played New York, so Its....I guess...a Midwest Premiere. It has been getting glood reviews. See below, or just visit the website http://www.monsterpants.net/automatons/



"...the movie’s loving attention to light and shade transcends its hermetic setting and meager budget. At times the buzzing static and fizzy backlighting recall the glistening surrealism of the filmmaker Guy Maddin... enormously endearing"
-- Jeannette Catsoulis, NEW YORK TIMES

"AUTOMATONS is what happens when Eraserhead and Tetsuo the Iron Man bong themselves into oblivion and collaborate on a minimalist avant-garde sci-fi cheapie shot in a toolshed...
Robot radness achieved! Budgets are for bitches. "
-- Nathan Lee, VILLAGE VOICE


"Ed Wood, the notorious director of Plan 9 From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda, has risen from the dead and returned to filmmaking as James Felix McKenney... And I mean that as a compliment."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

"It's not a film of compromise but of sheer determination, refusing to be defined by its budget and liberated by a decision to overcome its bank account with sheer imagination."
-- S. James Snyder, NEW YORK SUN


"a chiaroscuro love child of Eraserhead and Team America: World Police ... Automatons fuses surging political critiques to experimental sci-fi in a gritty, grainy 8mm black-and-white that plants viewers squarely in its heroine's nightmare."
-- S.T. VanAirsdale, THE REELER

"AUTOMATONS is a smart, thought-provoking tale equipped with the moody ambiance and intellectual integrity of a classic episode of THE OUTER LIMITS. That's high praise indeed."
-- Steven Puchalski, SHOCK CINEMA

"The beautiful indie sci-fi film AUTOMATONS is a troubling vision of things to come.
Enough to make you think, worry and pray."
-- Louis Fowler, ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHRONICLE

"AUTOMATONS is a wonderfully made, socially conscious low budget film and I cannot recommend it enough."
-- Brian Harris, JOE HORROR.COM
