“Auditorium Movendum Caveat Ab Hoc Cinematographico”: This film is flushed with graphic depictions of shredded jaws, self-harm and flagellation and reproach, physical cruelty, human combustion and other horrors. It should not be viewed by children, the elderly or, the gods forbid, the squeamish. – Article, Review by Gregg W. Morris
BAVC Media, formerly known as Bay Area Video Coalition, is a non-profit organization that works with media makers, activists, and community groups in the Bay Area and beyond to create, distribute, and preserve media. It’s a hub for media makers,…
Non-linear story telling techniques, phantasmagoric and kaleidoscopic imagery, surrealistism and an evocative, minimalistic soundscape (with occasional nuances of a fetus heartbeat), and a dab of cinematic accoutrements will have slews and slews of audience members gasping and fidgeting (literally and figuratively) on the edge of their seats. – By Gregg W.

A Rhapsodic, Kinetically Charged, Roller Coaster Ride of Relentless in Yer Face Action and Sanguineous Violence Opened April 25 in Theaters in the U.S. and Canada YADANG: THE SNITCH weaves the fates of three men: 1, an informant AKA as…
The film delves into the hidden world of criminal wheeling and dealing in South Korea, and centers on the enigmatic figure of Yadang, a major facilitator as a dime-dropping snitch in the underground drug trade. YADANG THE SNITCH Filmmakers insist that their movie is the first of its kind, setting it apart from conventional action crime film in South Korea. – Article, Review by Gregg W. Morris
“When I took the stage in Los Angeles yesterday (Saturday April 12, 2025) and looked out at the crowd, I could see people a half-mile away. Thirty-six thousand (36,000) people attended — it is the largest rally we have ever had.
And when I see the record crowds like the ones we had yesterday, or the ones in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, I believe it may just be possible that this country is on the brink of the political revolution we have been talking about for a long time.
These people are not showing up because I am running for something. There is no presidential campaign happening.
These are people attending in huge numbers who are not just saying NO to oligarchy, but they are saying YES to raising the minimum wage, YES to expanding Social Security, YES to guaranteeing health care as a human right, YES, to cutting the cost of prescription drugs, YES to paid family and medical leave, YES to equal pay for equal work, YES to more affordable housing, YES to making childcare and higher education affordable to all, YES to taking on the existential threat of climate change.
And most importantly they are saying YES to a government and an economy that works for all of us and not just the billionaire class and the Oligarchs.
Later today, we will be in Salt Lake City, Utah. Tomorrow we go to Boise, Idaho before returning to California on Tuesday for two rallies in districts held by Republicans and ending this leg of the tour in Missoula, Montana on Wednesday.
We will be streaming each rally on YouTube and Twitter, and I hope you will tune in to watch and share the links with your friends.

CALL OF THE VOID has received mixed reviews. It’s been pitched publicity-wise and marketing-wise and advertising-wise as a folk horror with Lovecraftian touches focusing on the grisly psychological impact of a strange hum and its connection to something otherworldly. – Review, Article by Gregg W.

THE HEIRLOOM is Heavy with a capitol H. “This is a true story” flashes briefly at the beginning of the film. It is a semi-autobiographical piece, drawing, heavily, on a couple’s real-life adoption of a rescue dog, Dilly, during the pandemic, and the strains on the couple’s relationship, according to numerous cyber film synopses and descriptions easily found on Google. This reviewer regards the COVID-19 Pandemic as an existential menace, that showed us what the gates of hell might look like. – Review, Article by Gregg W. Morris, Editor, Reviewer.
