Rogue Cinema - July 2009
An Interview with Mike Conway By Duane L. Martin
I've known Mike Conway for a while now. Since I'm a reviewer and he's a film maker, I bet you can guess how we first came into contact with one another. His film making talent is well known in certain indie circles, and with every new film he makes, he breaks new ground and always comes out of it with lots of great new stories to tell. Recently I interviewed Mike about his new film Exile, in which things on the production end didn't exactly go as planned. In the following interview, Mike talks about those production issues, how he overcame them, his future plans and a whole lot more.Read...
An Interview with Christopher R. Mihm By Duane L. Martin

In this interview, I ask Christopher about his previous films, his current film, Terror From Beneath the Earth, his future film plans and a whole lot more. Read...

An Interview with Scott Goldberg By Brian Morton
There are few filmmakers today with the passion of Scott Goldberg, which is something Brian can safely say after having spoken with him quite a few times and having seen most (if not all) of his films. Scott is passionate about filmmaking and about using his films to better the world. He’s not the kind of guy who wants to be the next Steven Speilberg, he’s just an indie filmmaker who wants to make movies that people will see, enjoy and maybe think about, which is refreshing today. Brian recently had a chance to catch up with Scott, find out all about what he’s working on now, get his opinions about the current political climate and whatever else has been going on with this talented, opinionated filmmaker.

An Interview with Paul Kratka By Scott Goldberg (With foreward and afterward by Brian Morton)
Since he began writing for Rogue Cinema, Brian Morton has had the chance to talk to so many directors, actors, producers and writers that at times, he gets the feeling he's been repeating himself, or asking the same questions over and over, so he thought it might be cool to have one of these filmmakers do the interviewing for a change. To that end, this time around we asked Scott Goldberg to sit down for a chat with Paul Kratka. The two have worked together on several projects and have recently travelled to New York for Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors. Read...

An Interview with Jackeline Oliver By Nic Brown
With her exotic looks and winning smile it would be easy for actress Jackeline Olivier to build a career around playing the classic Latina beauty. But that isn’t the road Jackeline chooses to travel. Best known for playing Vicky, the self-centered junkie from Day of the Dead 2: Contagium and Rita, the sadistic prison guard in Werewolf in a Women's Prison, Jackeline looks for challenging roles with complex characters both in films and in her first love, the theatre. Described by colleagues as a “passionate pursuer of the dramatic arts”, Jackeline brings her energy and love of acting to the stage and screen. She has also started working behind the camera, taking on the role of producer for a number of films she’s also appeared in. Now Jackeline is talking to B Movie Man Nic Brown about her work in film, her love of the theatre, and why playing an evil prison guard was a liberating experience for her! Read...

I Love Bad Movies By James A. Roberson

Also in this issue...
Philip Smolen brings us another fantastic article this month! We all have movies that delight us even though they are not class A productions - movies maybe we wouldn’t even admit to liking in social company for fear of the reaction we’d get. Maybe there’s a cheesy air about them. Maybe most of the performances are not particularly memorable. Maybe the director was a famous hyper speed guy like Lee “Roll em” Scholem or Eddie Cahn. Perhaps the special effects are really chintzy with obvious wires supporting the monster. But, no matter what, you like them. They’re part of you now. They’re the movies you return to watch year after year, decade after decade. As Bill Warren points out in Keep Watching the Skies, these films help us “recapture the uncritical receptive reactions we had at that young age.” You now laugh at the clunky dialogue, you can smile at the obviousness, and you’re aware of the silliness, but it doesn’t matter. You still like these movies. Read...
Cary Conley is a first-time contributor to Rogue Cinema. For his first article, he reminisces about the bootleg video scene of years gone by. Remember the weeks and months spent tracking down an uncut, watchable version of a cult genre film you were dying to see? With the advent of the DVD format, just about everything that was ever committed to celluloid can be cheaply transferred to DVD. That’s a good thing, right? Well, maybe not… Read...
