If you grew up in the ’80s, you’ll have plenty of memories of clicking around the cable box and finding The Beastmaster. The fantasy movie seemed like it aired every night. Whether it be on one of the pay channels like HBO or the regular cable tier like TBS. The Beastmaster was there for you. There was a joke that TBS stood for The Beastmaster Station. The film wasn’t a theatrical hit when it was released at the end of the summer of ’82. The cable love made it seem like a blockbuster. This was the perfect movie for teenagers who were getting hooked on Dungeons & Dragons during the mid-80s. There was more sword and magic action that you can shake two 20-sided dice to. Even better was that you didn’t have to buy a movie ticket to see The Beastmaster.

DVD Review: The Beastmaster

Part of independent filmmaking is figuring out anyway you can achieve your vision. You’re not spending months pitching to major producers for a $100 million budget. In the digital age, you’re just hustling for pals who can act and locations that fit your needs. Plus you might beg mom to make sandwiches for the crew. Blake Eckard is an indie filmmaker who understands the whatever it takes credo. Intensely Independent: The Micro-Budget Films of Blake Eckard brings together two of his films that were made two different ways. Bubba Moon Face was shot over five days. Coyotes Kill for Fun took three years. But what matters is that Blake was able to finish both films and now you watch them both at home when the DVD comes out in September. Here’s the press release from Synapse Films:

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”

The unthinkable has happened. Again. A gunman has taken multiple lives. The difference this time? It happened here, in Alameda. We are an island, both physically and psychologically. I spend a lot of time explaining to people that our focus is Alameda, and Alameda alone, so our coverage doesn’t usually include stories as horrific as this one.

It Happened Again. Here.
