I realized the other night that I had, one year earlier, posted my first review at Pajiba. Looking to celebrate the occasion in a unique way, I looked upon my DVD collection for a film to review. I had promised friends over the past couple months that I would review three films that I had somehow overlooked in my eight years as a Cinema and Media Studies student, specifically Rocky (1976), The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), and the original Karate Kid (also 1984). However, to review those films didn't feel quite right for the anniversary. No, given the occasion, a review of one of my favorite films was in order and few get as great and, in this case, personal as Chris Smith's documentary American Movie (1999).

When we started putting together a feature for Frankie Latina's Directorial Debut, Modus Operandi, we were looking at it as a feature for our Gorezone® website. You see, Modus is one of those films that can't be limited to just one genre. Sure there's the prerequisite gore to bring it into Fango territory, but there's also elements of hardcore exploitation, violence, and some good-old-fashioned nudity. Plus, it won over Fango's Matt Molgaard, so we're bringing this feature to Fangoria.
At last month's CineVegas Festival, The Hollywood Reporter said that Modus Operandi was "one of the world premieres to make a splash." With a cast that includes bad-ass Danny Trejo (MacHete) and American Movie's Mark Borchardt, why shouldn't it?
