"Western Flickers" is R. J. Thomas' mock-documentary about a Texas lawman named T. J. Spikes, who, in 1913, came up with an ambitious plan to get into the history books. Anxious for notoriety after a lackluster career as a bounty hunter, Spikes asked the Western Flickers Motion Picture Company of Hollywood to come to Texas and film his pursuit (and, hopefully, capture) of the Cactus Kid, a notorious outlaw who had been robbing banks and trains for 30 years without being caught. "Western Flickers" is told in a documentary fashion a' la a 70's "In Search Of"-style show called "America's Legends and Mysteries. " The narration is straight, and the footage and illustrations are presented as though we are watching an intriguing, recently-discovered nugget of western history and silent-era Hollywood folklore. The motion picture that Spikes and the Western Flickers company made, dubbed "Hero of the Range," is seen in bits and pieces throughout the fake documentary. We are told that "Hero of the Range" was a hit in 1913, but through the years faded from memory, and by the end of the silent era no complete print of it could be found. [+]

AS SEEN ON THE ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK Far from the battlefields, but facing an equally treacherous enemy - the Artic winter - a schooner and its dedicated crew set out on a vital military mission. The year was 1940. Hitler's war machine had just invaded Denmark, and was threatening to take over the prized colony of Greenland. Not only could this strategic location provide an ideal refueling point for Hitler's U-boats, but it also contained an invaluable mining operation vital to the manufacture of alluminum and war planes. Anticipating a Nazi offensive, allied defense forces acted quickly to defend Greenland but lacked one crucial element for success - a communications vessel. The only ship capable of navigating the ice-strewn waters of the North Atlantic was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's 104 foot wooden schooner, the St. Roch. For the mission to succeed, one of the world's most accomplished polar navigators, Sgt. Henry Larson, and a crew of eight, set out to do what no one had ever done before - sail west to east through the treacherous Northwest Passage! Facing the crushing blows of Polar Ice flows, blinding snowstorms, starvation and frostbite, this daring adventure quickly turned into a 27 month struggle for survival. Journey with our crew as we retrace the original voyage, reliving its tension, drama and fear. [+]

Italian exploitation legend Umberto Lenzi birthed the cannibal subgenre of Italian horror with Deep River Savages, but he turned out one of the so-called classics of the genre with this 1981 effort, a blunt, brutal story of five New Yorkers who face the wrath of angry Amazon cannibals. Three completely clueless would-be anthropologists set out to disprove the racist myth of tribal cannibalism perpetuated by colonial Europeans. Turning a blind eye to danger at every turn, they join up with a pair of drug-crazed psychos on the run from supposed cannibals (in truth, the reign of terror has been perpetrated solely by greedy Americans) and then wait patiently for the bloody vengeance of the tribal survivors. Lenzi is no stylist, and his attempts at irony are crude at best, but he delivers all he promises (or threatens): evisceration, emasculation, gouged eyeballs, and a sick twist on the initiation scene from A Man Called Horse. His generous budget allowed him to shoot on location in South America and New York (where a police detective searches for the homicidal drug dealer in a subplot) and lavish attention on his carnage, elevating it to near cult status. More than simply gory, this is a sadistic, cynical, mean-spirited film, for hardcore fans of the genre only. Lenzi and star John Morghen (the only animated actor in the otherwise flat cast) offer commentary on an alternate track, but Lenzi is all but unintelligible through his thick accent at times. A supplemental interview with Lenzi is helpfully translated by his interviewer. -Sean Axmaker.
