The Vinyl Solution: Factory 25 combines vinyl, DVD and art

Matt Connolly -
At a moment when DVD sales continue to decline and new releases can often be downloaded (legally or otherwise) days after their theatrical release, Matt Grady has taken a bit of a gamble. The 39-year-old founder of Factory 25, a new independent film and music label based out of Brooklyn, is betting that you’ll still shell out some money for a DVD—or even a vinyl record—so long as what you’re getting is more than just a disc in a plastic case. Read the full story here.

Vamp It Up

Mike Spence -
Otto Penzler’s new The Vampire Archives is a 900-page tome overflowing with stories of blood-sucking horror. The collection of tales is expansive, ranging from pre-Dracula 19th century legends to vampire stories told by modern masters. With teen-friendly vampires popping up everywhere these days, this collection of seriously terrifying stories, including contributions from Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft, comes along just in time.  New York Press caught up with Mr. Penzler to ask him a few questions about the walking dead.

Shankman set to 'Rock' Hollywood

Jordan Galloway -

Some of you might best know Adam Shankman as the director of Hairspray—that one where John Travolta does drag in a fat suit—but I prefer to think of him fondly as the judge most likely to burst into tears on So You Think You Can Dance. Where he registers on your pop culture radar is really neither here nor there. What's important is Shankman announced today his decision to put down the tissues and get back into the director's chair; he's been picked to take musical Rock of Ages from Broadway to the big screen.

Showgirls Part Two: Revenge of the Camp

Mike Spence -

Remember back in the day when a shitty movie at least had the decency to be so bad that it was worth watching? I’m talking about a film that’s so awful that when it crashes and burns it isn’t enough. This movie keeps stumbling around engulfed in flames, a beautiful walking inferno of campy goodness. I’m talking, of course, about Showgirls. Here is a film so powerful that ruined careers. And now, like an inept phoenix, Showgirls is back in the form of a (hopefully) horrible sequel.

Mike Spence -

The Great Recession has been the cause of some incredibly sad things. Mortgages are collapsing, 401Ks are sinking, credit card debt is popping out of the collective eyeballs of the nation, and all the while more and more people are unemployed. There is always a silver lining though, such as a middle-aged woman who decides to make a big career shift because of the harsh economic climate.
