The films of Doris Wishman - The moonlight years (DVD BOX SET)

Doris Wishman was an american film director, screenwriter and producer. Doris was born in 1912 and passed away in 2002, leaving behind a massive amount of films and her adorable and iconic quote "When I die, I'll make movies in hell".

I've been completely "dorified" when a couple years ago I watched "Deadly Weapons" (1974) that had an incredible and interesting premise of a woman seeking revenge after her husband's murder. The gist of it is that she kills with her enormous breasts. Nevermind maternity, kill mobsters!

After that I was never the same, I was even more "alien" than usual and decided to look for more Doris Wishman's movies to apease my curiosity. From nudie cuties to roughies to a horror film ("A night to dismember") Doris seemed to be an extravagant pirate forever looting for treasure and I was joining her in these exotic cinematic adventures.

This DVD BOX SET (part of a series of 3) sheds lights on some of her mid-career films.

BAD GIRLS GO TO HELL is an iconic and surreal crime movie that features Doris's unusual camerawork and it has an audio commentary track by Frank Henenlotter (one of my favourite directors) who directed some great masterpieces like Brain Damage, Basket case and Frankenhooker.

INDECENT DESIRES is another charmer with very pertinent and interesting audio commentary track by Liz Purchell.

This amazing box set features 6 films completely restored in perfect conditions. I truly recommend you to be "dorified".

Comments

Aesop Rock - Labor days

Beautiful and abstract poetry from MC Aesop Rock in an assorted collection of complex and melodic beats. Stories are told and magnified by the spotless MC'S style of delivery, especially in themes like "No Regrets", a story about Lucy, an artist that embodies the spirit of individuality of doing what you really want and love and the anthem 9-5 er's about work and aspirations. It shapes and expands the border of hip-hop, an essential work of astract and conscious hip-hop.

Tiago Guillul - V

Indie pop by Tiago Guillul. Recorded in a studio and with guests like Rui Reininho, Tiago Guillul moves from his lo-fi days to a well produced and clean cut album. "A Febre em 1993" is a really adorable and catchy song that is one of the highlights of this album, using dancing and funky samples with some playful arrangements. "Nabucodonosor" named after one of the kings in the bible, is a really jangley song with collaborations from Rui Reininho in the vocals. Released by Florcaveira, this album has some religious inspired lyrics and most songs were built upon evangelical songs from all over the world, but that isn't exactly a surprise since it's Tiago Guillul. Overall, a candy bomb of an album of enjoyable and clever indie pop.

Roberta Kelly - Trouble maker

Very groovy and danceable hit Trouble-Maker by singer Roberta Kelly. The track was written and produced by Giorgio Moroder and Pete Belotte. It reached and gained enormous popularity when it was released in 1976. The second song is The Family, a more mellow disco sound with some catchy and funky bass lines and harmonious backup instrumentals. Roberta Kelly also did backup vocals for Thelma Houston and Donna Summer.
