VIDEOSCOPE #111
SUMMER DRIVE-IN EDITION

In VideoScope #111, our Summer Drive-in Edition, drive-in maven Rob Freese leads off with a visit to Pennsylvania’s legendary Mahoning Drive-in, for a chat with documentarian Alexander Monelli, whose new film, AT THE DRIVE-IN, chronicles this inspirational tale of movie love and devotion. Our dynamic dad/daughter duo, Terry & Tiffany DuFoe, catch up with drive-in diva Belinda Balaski, a welcome presence in such classic genre fare as BOBBIE JO AND THE OUTLAW, Bert I. (Mr. B.I.G.) Gordon’s FOOD OF THE GODS, and a pair of Joe Dante-directed faves, PIRANHA and THE HOWLING. Then it’s back to Rob for reviews of a wide range of vintage drive-in titles, from William Grefe’s shark shocker MAKO: JAWS OF DEATH to Greydon Clark’s mutant cat romp UNINVITED, making their Blu-ray debuts. Rob also checks in with actor/theater director Matt (THE MUTILATOR) Mitler, who recalls his gritty experiences on the indie front lines, from confronting aggravated anomalies in Frank Henenlotter’s BASKET CASE 2 to covering for an errant Cameron Mitchell in MUTANT WAR. Elsewhere, our roving cinema correspondent Joseph Perry reports on film fests in such far-flung locales as Boston and Brussels; Scott Voisin presents a sneak-peek excerpt from his upcoming Jon Polito biography, a harrowing on-set account of the Curse of THE CROW and the tragic death of star Brandon Lee; and voice actor Bill Timoney recalls his close encounter of the stern kind with filmmaker hero Woody Allen. Plus our crack crew of columnists and crix weigh in with their opinions and ruminations re the latest DVD and Blu-ray releases, from The Phantom’s NOIR GANG to Nancy Naglin’s ART-HOUSE VIDEO. All this and the usual much, much more in VideoScope #111, available now.
