James Merendino returns to the wild world of Salt Lake City punk’s underground with his new feature Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2. Garnering a fan following, along with an Independent Spirit Award nomination, for his 1999 cult hit SLC Punk!, Merendino’s highly anticipated follow-up arrives on DVD, Digital HD and Video On Demand March 8 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM). Additionally, Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2 will also be available via early Digital Download February 16.   
 
Partially financed by a highly successful Indiegogo campaign, Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2 will be available exclusively February 11 through February 15 (and non-exclusively after that date) to audiences via Tugg screenings in theaters across the country.  Interested event hosts can visit www.tugg.com/titles/slc-punk-2 to request a Tugg screening for their community.  
 
Ben Schnetzer (Pride), Hannah Marks (The Amazing Spider-Man), rapper/musician Colson “Machine Gun Kelly” Baker (Beyond the Lights), and Sarah Clarke (Twilight, “Bosch”) star in this wildly entertaining exploration of anarchy in “SLC,” while original cast members Devon Sawa (Final Destination), Michael Goorjian (“Party of Five”), Adam Pascal (“Rent”) and James Duval (The Doom Generation), will reprise their roles from the original SLC Punk!
 
Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2 follows Ross (Schnetzer), the teenage love child of the late “Heroin Bob” (Goorjian) and Trish (Clarke), Penny (Marks) and Crash (Baker) on a rowdy road trip through the Utah hinterlands to see a huge punk show. During their odyssey, and with the help of a healthy dose of drugs, alcohol and punk music, Ross shreds his darkly Gothic outlook and embraces life. However, when his mother learns that he is in crisis, she recruits his “uncles,” Bob’s old SLC gang, to help find him. When all collide at the concert, they are forced to deal with their unresolved relationships with Bob.
 
“This is a movie made for the fans,” said Merendino. “It was through their funding the film was able to be completed, and now, with the help of Cinedigm, the story can continue.” He goes on to say “I am still a kid at heart which makes Punk’s Dead fresh, innovative and culturally relevant to a young audience. However I feel that I have grown up since SLC Punk!, so I approached the characters and story of Punk’s Dead with more maturity and honesty.”
 
Punk’s Dead: SLC Punk 2 was produced by Andrea Kreuzhage and co-producer Severine Ferrari, executively produced by John Bedell, with Branden Steineckert as co-executive producer.

Stream “Duel of the Fates” on SoundCloud

Williams is truly a master of Wagnerian-bombast and baroque composition, and when “Duel Of The Fates” kicks in, the Star Wars faithful can just sit there, listening and wishing that the theme was from a much better movie. The vinyl mastering on the release is also very good, and retains that certain warmth that you can’t get from the digital releases.” - A.V. Club

Recorded at Abbey Road studios over the course of a week, starting on February 10, 1999, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace was the first Star Wars score Williams had composed in over 16 years. The scores of the following two films in the prequel trilogy would rely heavily upon tracking from this score, a decision that Williams and George Lucas had made early into production of the film. The original album was released on CD to accompany the film (May 4, 1999), and was certified Platinum in the U.S. and Gold in the UK.

The limited edition vinyl release of Star Wars soundtracks marks I Am Shark’s emerging role as an independent label for Film, TV, and Video Game soundtracks. Future soundtracks from iconic pop culture and beloved indie releases will be announced in the coming months.

Invasion U.S.A (1985)


I cant praise this film up enough. It stands up against Rambo or anything the like. No need for all the normal things that make a complete film to get in the way here. No character development , not much dialogue, just B-rrrrrrrrrrr-atttttttt. Machine guns!

The plot hits a little too close to home. Stereotypical terrorists invade the USA and kill some Cubans along the way.  No explanation needed. Scene after scene of terrorists attacking Americans while they are playing baseball, during Christmas, at church, you know? Doing shit Ameicans do!! Stay tuned for the bazookas!

Chuck Norris is there to keep them under control though. Norris is utterly emotionless, and unfazed by being absurdly outnumbered by the terrorists, or anything they do. He never looks worried, concerned, hassled or even out of breath. At one point he drives his Chevy straight towards a dozen terrorists firing bazookas (did I mention the bazookas?)

Norris kicks the bad guy through a plate glass window with his own bazooka. The end. BAZOOOOOOKAS!

Like a true heterosexual male, Norris completely ignores the only chick in the film and focuses more on his one liners. There's about four.

New minimal HOME ALONE Posters! Awesome!

For 90’s kids everywhere, there wasn’t a braver soul than that of Kevin McCallister.
Sure; he did wish for his family’s disappearance – twice – but with a few paint cans, an iron and a large cheese pizza, McCallister successfully defended his house from the Wet Bandits. This holiday season, you don’t need to attach a cardboard cutout of Michael Jordan to a mechanical train if you want to rock around the Christmas tree. Click on the (FREE) posters below for printable versions.
Decorate accordingly as you celebrate the 25th anniversary of this iconic film with Costume Discounters!
