The Copenhagen Test – An Exciting Spy Thriller By Miclpea I have said many times in the past, but it warrants saying it again, that we are currently in an era of exceptional television. In my opinion, for many years HBO was consistently the lone voice in the wilderness of great television but it was soon joined by many others from the streaming world. In previous articles, I have mentioned Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Paramount+,  Disney+, and Apple TV+.

FoCC Interview: Mockbuster with Director/Star Anthony Firth By Jason Delgado It was a pleasure to speak with Anthony about his awesome new documentary Mockbuster!

I asked Firth about his favorite movies, what ingredients are needed for a fun mockbuster, how he met directing legend Werner Herzog, if he's ever been to Comic Con, would he make another Asylum film, is Marvel kind of like a big budget Asylum, and what is more difficult, raising a child or making a movie in six days?! See the full interview below! See sbiff.org for more info and tickets!

FoCC Review: Mockbuster – Inmates running the Asylum By Jason Delgado  Ed Wood, a feature film about the so-called ‘world’s worst director of all-time’ (and his eccentric cast and crew) has been one of my favorite films since it was released in 1994. Instead of a feature film by Tim Burton, what if Wood himself made a documentary about the process of making such B-movie classics as Plan 9 From Outer Space?
