Phil Haney is one sick fuck. And trust me, that’s an ode of respect and praise to the man who created one of the best times I’ve had with an online short movie in a while. “The Kegger” is a film that seems obvious and yet will pretty much sweep the rug out from even the most cynical viewer who thinks they’re watching an “Animal House” wannabe. Even as a darkly demented frat house romp, “The Kegger” is rather hysterical with some great acting, and hilarious gags that left me breathless.

Marvel Zombies: The Movie Trailer (2007)
Directors Scotty Fiels and Jim Ojala are asking for litigation for their fan film, and you know what? I’d gladly testify and plead for their mercy in the court room, because not only are these two wack jobs balls enough to approach an ambitious concept as Marvel Zombies, but they do it so damn well, it’s shocking. “Marvel Zombies” is a wonderful series in the Marvel Universe that involves an unknown germ that arrives in space via the superhero The Sentry, who turns into a zombie and infects every single superhero in the Marvel Universe in the process. So, obviously outmatched, humanity falls under the wave of super powered invincible flesh eating zombies who bring Earth to its knees eating everything in their sights.
Red Princess Blues: Interview with Dan Cregan
Most recently, director Alex Ferrari has been pushing to fund his project “Red Princess Blues” and along with a bevy of crew members from Numb Robot, he’s pushed to fuel his potential film franchise and hopefully we’ll be granted another splatter series of “Kill Bill” proportions. Ferrari along with director Dan Cregan continue their strategic push for film funding by creating a short introduction into the universe of Princess, with “Red Princess Blues: The Book of Violence” an animated action short showing our title character as a child learning the tricks of her trade and gaining a fascination with knives, which Ferrari hopes will be the jumping point and potential hook for buyers and producers. He is not alone though, as he has gifted Special effect supervisor and storyboard artist Dan Cregan who took it upon himself to grab the preamble to the film series and hopefully spark interest creating an eye catching and exciting prologue to bait potential fans hoping to see more. As well, Ferrari and co. have movie star Paula Garces at the helm.
Red Princess Blues: Interview with Paula Garces
Garces is the gorgeous Latina actress who you may know from “Harold & Kumar go to White Castle,” “The Shield,” and “Man in the House,” who was confronted by Alex years ago to take part in the film production and inevitably she signed on to star with the character and ad campaign built around her image. She has also signed on as the producer and has now helped the team to look for buyers and producers to help create “Red Princess Blues” the live action movie. And the combined forces of the trio ensure that with any luck, “Red Princess Blues” can happen.
The Ninja Always Rings Once (2007)
I really wanted to like this. I really wanted to like it to the point where I was almost forcing myself to enjoy it, but damn it, I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have or should have. Comedy is a tough thing to create and surely enough “The Ninja Always Rings Once” proves that rule with a short story that not only really made no sense, but never sparked a laugh from yours truly.
Robot Bastard! (2001)
Nothing pisses me off more than discovering a movie I find to be one of the most unique and original creation in years to discover that it’s actually pretty old and quite well known. Not only do I feel more out of the loop than ever, at that moment, but I also kick myself for not looking into independent short flicks better. Life dictates my internet usage, I’ve accepted it. Thanks to a happy accident, I discovered “Robot Bastard!” for the first time and couldn’t believe my eyes. Here was a movie that was so weird, and so unusual, and yet so funny, and so damn cool.
Red Princess Blues, Animated: The Book of Violence (2007)
Okay, so here the dealio: Alex Ferrari, one of my current favorite indie directors is hoping to create his first big budget, or moderately budgeted action thriller, and has with him a pretty good star in the way of the luscious Paula Garces. Ferrari made “Cyn” which was a sort of prequel, and now we have the animated short “Red Princess Blues” which is a seven minute short being shopped around as a potential launching point for a live action revenge action thriller named “Red Princess Blues.” And you know what? I think Ferrari may pull it off.
