ULTIMATE CHRISTIAN WRESTLING (2010) – playing at Korean American Film Festival in NYC – June 8th & 10th
June 2nd, 2012 by Mr. C
——————————————————————————————————————–
Director: Jae-Ho Chang and Tara Autovino
Stars: Modern Day Warrior (Rob Adonis), God’s Property (Billy Jack), Custodial Crippler (Justin Dirt)
Genre: Documentary – wrestling, religion
——————————————————————————————————————–
The thought of preaching christian faith through the ranks of professional wrestling may seem like a foreign idea but the more and more I thought about it, this progressive method doesn’t sound so strange after all. Everyone knows that professional wrestling is part super human feat and part acting – playing a role. Wrestlers who have devoted their soul to christianity have a strong mind and body so why not use them to relay the message of the gospel especially when a lot of our youths look up to the sport? This is the exact case with ULTIMATE CHRISTIAN WRESTLING, a professional organization based in Georgia with wrestling in mind but with the teachings of Jesus in the heart. They perform at free shows in small towns throughout Georgia. Rob Adonis – the Modern Day Warrior is a wrestler/founder of UCW who uses wrestling as a vehicle to spread the teachings of Jesus through reenactments before & after the matches. The UCW mixes ministry with wrestling. As Adonis recites John 3:16, he also reminds his wrestlers that a modern day 3:16 for him while working out in the gym can also mean 3 sets – 16 reps!
This documentary would follow 3 members of the UCW around to show us the day in the life of a devout christian worshiper while also revealing their more personal side as well as other everyday musings with relationships and other day to day hardships. The trio that got spotlighted in and out of the ring are: Rob Adonis (Founder of UCW), Billy Jack (God’s Property) & his young son Kody, & Justin Dirt (Custodial Crippler).
The film does not really go too in depth with the faith but rather it exposed individual relationships to us viewers in order to reveal the nuts and bolts, the guts of who they really are whether a father, a brother, a husband, a modern day christian warrior, a person with strong faith, or just a young man trying to find their channels in life while abiding by the teachings of the bible wholeheartedly.
The Modern Day Warrior – the founder of UCW, Rob Adonis is the driving force behind this movement, this unique organization. He is ultimately responsible for keeping the UCW boat afloat while also mentoring his younger christian warriors like the Custodial Crippler. There are struggles with trying to find sponsors and hosts for this rag-tag wrestling ministry but if anyone can do it – Adonis can!
The 2nd person that we would get to know is Billy Jack aka God’s Property. Billy is a blue collar worker currently employed as a handyman at Dr. Fix It. Kody – Billy Jack’s young son is a wrestling fanatic and is ‘religiously’ involved with his dad in the UCW. Unfortunately, Kody is caught between a crossfire custody battle between the mom and pops. Billy is also struggling financially with paying his mortgage. He carries about $36 in his pocket with a savings account that barely equals that. The father and son relationship will tug at most hearts.
Last but not least is 22 year old Justin also known at the Custodial Crippler in the ring. He works the grill at the Waffle House when not suplexing his opponents in the square. He is portrayed as a genuinely nice kid with great values deeply steeped in Christ. Justin’s relationship with his younger brother is also of merit even though they don’t share the same religious beliefs. The Custodial Crippler struggles with finding a niche for himself in the working society. He contemplates a life in the armed forces.
Ultimate Christian Wrestling broke my mold and perception of the overly obsessive, religious type and intimidating physical creatures that these athletes could be as I find myself cheering them onto better pastures in god’s country while they do the good deed spreading the holy fight with words and examples leading to the salvation led by our saviour – Jesus Christ. Even more than that – though as I look around to make sure lightning does not strike upon me, I found myself feeling quite sympathetic with the main characters as they struggled living day to day with things such as family dynamics, relationships, money, and “finding” themselves. It was quite impressive though that through their religious beliefs, they maintain a certain resolve, a certain pride, and morality to not steer to the dark side when things get tough. I think we need a UCW in every major city!
Ultimate Christian Wrestling screens at the Korean American Film Festival in NYC on June 8th – 7pm at the Anthology Film Archives and also on June 10th at 6pm with the Directors on hand for a Q&A after the film at both screenings!

GIRL WALK // ALL DAY screening at the Korean American Film Festival in NYC – June 6
June 1st, 2012 by Mr. C
—————————————————————————————————————–
Director: Jacob Krupnick
Stars: Anne Marsen, John Doyle, Daisuke Omiya
—————————————————————————————————————–
I wasn’t sure what to expect with GIRL WALK // ALL DAY – a feature length dance music film shot in the streets and public spaces of NYC, but as soon as the visuals and the music unfolded on the screen – I started to get the fever for the flava’! Can I kick it? Yes – you can! Can I kick it? You most certainly can!
The movie follows three dancers around the city : The Girl (Anne Marsen), The Creep (John Doyle), and The Gentlemen (Daisuke Omiya) as they unleash impromptu dance moves to serenade the unexpecting crowds to the entertaining mashup-mixtape soundtrack – ALL DAY by GIRL TALK with an insidious blend of tunes from the pop, rock, rap, metal, & punk genre’s! The 3 performers in the film specialize in different styles of dance such as The Girl who blends ballet with street and modern dance. The Gentlemen has a hybrid specialty of the pitter-patter, light on your feet, tap dance grooves with a modern broadway flare while The Creep’s style is all about urban swagger while freestyling to the beats of the streets offering signature pop and lock moves with a B-Boy stance as well as other modern day hip hop gyrations!
More importantly though, each of these three performers’ main goal in my mind at least was to invoke emotions of dance and the freedom of expression to the concrete masses. There’s a time for organization and structure within the everyday grind but with Girl Walk, it was time to let the hair down and boogie! The film delivered a subtle message and maybe to even a bigger extent – a movement to just enjoy life, let loose, and just be happy in general to have the privilege to roam planet earth while creatively expressing yourself in a constructive fashion! And who can find a better way to have a flashdance attack while taking the viewers on a tour of the greatest city in the world, New York – New York! Some sights that the fleet footed dancers would take us on included: The Highline Park, Wall Street area, Madison Square Park, Red Hook, The Williamsburg Bridge, Staten Island Ferry, Yankee Stadium, Harlem, the L Train, Grand Central Station, and the Chinatown shops on East Broadway underneath the Manhattan Bridge! We would watch the trio get busy struttin’ their stuff to the wonderful mashup mixes with millions of miles of samples fused together by Girl Talk! Some of these well known tunes & samples would include Black Sabbath’s – War Pigs, Ludacris – Move Bitch, N.W.A. – Express yourself, Fat Joe – Lean Back, Portishead – Sour Times, The Toadies – Possum Kingdom, INXS – Need you tonight, U2 – With or Without You, and De La Soul – Me, Myself, & I to just name a few! Some of my favorite mashup mixes from All Day includes Black Sabbath – War of Pigs with Ludacris’ – Move Bitch, Radiohead’s – Creep with ODB’s – Shimmy Shimmy Ya, Young MC’s – Bust a move with Kylie Minogue’s – La La La, and Depeche Mode’s – I just can’t get enough with Sugar Hill Gang’s – Rappers Delight.
Some of my favorite segments from the film came on Chapter 7 // High and Low – when The Gentlemen had some outlaw run ins with a Parkour performer before proceeding to literally run into a Rage Against the Machine lady with a vengeance! Luckily, the Gentlemen was saved by the Buster Keaton-Charlie Chaplin like – fun & goofy style of The Girl. It truly was a high voltage scene enhanced by the music and performances!
To put it quite simply, Girl Walk // All Day is an infectious, contagious, & collective work of art that makes you want to just get up, appreciate life, and dance! Now, pass that along and get your freak on!
Girl Walk // All Day screens at the Korean American Film Festival in New York on June 6th at 8pm at the White Box in the Lower East Side of Manhattan! Bring your dancing shoes and attitude to match! The director and producer of the film are scheduled to be in attendance for a Q&A after the screening.
Other screenings for KAFFNY are held at the Anthology Film Archives on 2nd avenue!

POK DONG (2006) – part of the KAFFNY – L.A. Riots 20th Anniversary Program – June 10th
June 1st, 2012 by Mr. C
——————————————————————————————————–
Directer: Alex Dongwan Ko
Producer: Jarrett Lee Conaway and Joseph Suh
——————————————————————————————————–
I couldn’t find a better way to celebrate KAFFNY by acknowledging the Korean-American experience by wrapping my eyes around POK DONG, a no frills documentary telling the story of Alex Ko’s (director) family and their life changing experience during/after the 1992 L.A. Riots as narrated by him and his parents. No – this was not a controversial in your face short film to blow your mind but rather a subtle & honest look at an immigrant family from Korea and their struggle with life while living the american dream. The documentary was a bridge of sorts for the family to open up their feelings, relive their experience to let go of the past, and to learn from their emotional scars in order to move on to a new rhyme and verse. Old family photos and video footage would help tell their tale. It’s less about a story of the riots and more about the aftereffects of the family dynamics resulting from it.
The Ko family had moved away from Korea to escape the chaos in their own country only to experience a bit of chaos in the streets of L.A. after the unjust verdict of the Rodney King case on April 29th, 1992. The Ko’s american dream with their video store that they had opened up in 1985 on Catalina & 3rd in Los Angeles began to slowly fizzle away on April 29th, 1992 – literally. The desecration of their store after the L.A. Riots had also destroyed a bit of their soul & spirits which left deep scars even a decade later. The parents fought constantly which left a gaping wound of emotions to ponder about for their children. This documentary was served up and directed by the son – Alex Ko which seemed to provide a nice therapy session for the family in order to fully come to grips with their ordeal. The parents had a zen like aura about them at the time of filming with their life of ‘building a new dream’. Some hard hitting quotes from the film included:
“In life, the only thing you truly have is family.”
“Don’t give up to hardships, there’s always another chance.”
“It’s not the end of the world. You have to live with determination.”
“I have to be buried here. This is my country too!”
The Ko’s story shares a similiar tale to many 1st and 2nd generation immigrants coming to America to plant a better seed of life for their children. It’s certainly a story that will hit home!
Pok Dong screens at the Korean American Film Festival in New York on June 10th at 12:00pm (Free): Part of the L.A. Riots 20th Anniversary Program. The screening will be held at the Anthology Film Archives in Manhattan.

Adventures of an Autograph Hound Part Deux
May 31st, 2012 by chocko
One of my favorite French street artists, Fafi made an appearance at The Hole Shop (312 Bowery) in New York last week for a signing of her new graphic novel from Rizzoli titled The Carmine Vault. There were also prints for sale, along with a limited edition tote bag for $25. Fafi signed and sketched for fans who were also treated to free drinks next door in the Hole Gallery. For future events at The Hole…theholenyc.com.
Gregg Allman was at a signing for his new book, an autobiography titled My Cross To Bear at Barnes & Noble in Union Square NYC last week. The blues (Muddy Waters In Effect) pumped through the speakers while the huge turnout got their books signed. Gregg only signed the book, fans with Allman Brothers albums and guitars got rejected at the table. The signing took place a day after it was announced that he was engaged to his 24-year-old girlfriend. Good luck to Mr. Allman and wifey #7!
Lloyd Kaufman of Troma Entertainment stopped by Forbidden Planet in NYC to sign the LIMITED EDITION BIG BOX VHS of The Toxic Avenger. No need to adjust your tracking…yup, VHS is back. This release is only limited to 300. All you tapeheads, grab ’em while you can! These ain’t cheap, at 30 bucks a pop. Save up that allowance money, kids! Mr. Kaufman, the president of Troma and the creator of The Toxic Avenger signed and talked with fans of the 1984 cult classic. He signed a copy for me along with a bunch of other Troma movies. He mentioned that a remake of Class of Nuke’Em High was being filmed this summer in the NY/NJ area. There is an open casting call, so if you think you got what it takes to be in a Troma film…check out their website for more info.
Micky Ward, a retired professional boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts, signed copies of his book A Warrior’s Heart at Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ. You may know him as being the main character in the 2010 movie based on his career, The Fighter starring Mark Wahlberg. To boxing fans, we’ll always remember the epic battles he had with Arturo Gatti in the boxing ring. Chocko brought the camera, but forgot the memory card! Thanks to Mr. C, not only did we get our books and DVD (bootleg?) signed but we also posed for pics in our best wannabe-boxer poses.

OFF! played The Bell House
May 31st, 2012 by chocko
OFF! played a last minute show with The Bronx at the Bell House in Brooklyn, NYC last night. It was a day after they played the Bowery Ballroom and the show was easy on the wallet…FREE! All you had to do was show up and pick up a wristband to get you in. Chocko had some time to kill, so wandering around Park Slope and shopping for some comic books was a no-brainer. Bergen Street Comics at 470 Bergen Street is a recommended spot if you’re in the area. Chocko bought some books including Ben Marra stuff (his art was hanging on the walls…cool!) and the new Super Crooks by Mark Millar and drawn by Leinil Yu. Millar and his crew recently made a trip to The Philippines to do a signing at The National Bookstore. Check out the story behind “The Milla in Manila” here.
10:30 p.m. rolled around. Keith Morris, the dreadlocked, insane lead singer of OFF! and a direct descendant of the legendary West Coast bands BLACK FLAG and CIRCLE JERKS, taped up the set lists and the rest of the band emerged from the back stage. The other band members of OFF! consists of Dimitri Coats (guitar), Steven McDonald (bass) and Mario Rubalcaba (drums), who’ve all been in other bands including Red Kross, Burning Brides and Rocket From The Crypt. Once the pleasantries were out of the way…it was down to business and blowing the roof off the place…old school L.A. punk style. Keith Morris yelled and screamed all night, stopping only to tell brief stories including one of his old friend Jeffrey Lee Pierce (The Gun Club) who tragically passed away in 1996.
OFF! songs are fast and furious…some clocking in at less than a minute. They played a lot of songs from their first four EP’s and it wasn’t until the eighth song in their set that they played a track off their new self titled album which is highly recommended. The new album delivers and is the musical equivalent of a roundhouse kick to the face. Brutal stuff. It looks like OFF! have a busy summer ahead of them…tons of shows in Europe, back in NYC and the East Coast in July and opening for the Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Staples Center in Los Angeles in August. The Bronx played after. I’m sure it rocked but Chocko needed to escape from New York and get back to the cave for some serious slumber.

Throwback Thursdays: Planet Chocko Issue 3 – Fall/Winter 1997
May 30th, 2012 by Mr. C
Let’s take this muthership back – way back to the fall of 1997 to issue 3 of Planet Chocko when we chit chatted with our favorite live action anime girl – APOLLO SMILE. By the way, Apollo Smile can sing, dance, and kick your ass, too! And not necessarily in that order! We also had the privilege to talk to one of America’s finest in the KiNg of SlEaZe realm with filming/producing B-Movies, gore, exploitation, & sexploitation flicks of the low fi variety – DAVID FRIEDMAN (R.I.P.)
Chocko also shared some of his rad photos of Jerry Only from The Misfits (Misfits/Sick of It All show at Birch Hill in Old Bridge,NJ), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) + Geezer (Black Sabbath) from their Coney Island High Show on St. Marks Place – October 1, 1997!
Please enjoy the artwork on the front/back zine covers by our very own caveboy resident – Mr. Chocko! Now sit back – smoke a bone, roll up a crepe with nutella & bananas, eat a bloody rare steak, or just enjoy your vegan treats as we flashback to some repugnant writeups – planet chocko style! Please secure the safety of all women, senior citizens, and children!
Enjoy your day – freaks, ghouls, & fiends!!

east village and lower east side street art + graffiti
May 26th, 2012 by chocko
Chocko took the photos above at Second Ave. and Houston St. in NYC. Beware of the gaping hellmouth the size of Illinois behind the fence.
This Eviar piece is near the old Mars Bar location on 1st St. and 2nd Ave.
Music Machine by Sonni is located at Artist Alley behind the original location of the legendary CBGB. Sonni got his start painting murals in Buenos Aires, Argentina but now NYC is home base for this talented artist. Check out Music Machine located at Extra Place and E 1 st.
Here are some shots of the Centre-Fuge public art project located on East 1st St. between First and Second Avenue. The trailer will be home to different murals for the next couple of months. Nice job on the Beastie Boys tribute mural by Danielle Mastrion. R.I.P. Adam “MCA” Yauch.

The Planet Chocko Zine skeletons — October & November 1997
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
About once a week or maybe even more – depending on if we have to run the TPS reports at the Office Space or shrink wrap the pallets in the warehouse, we’re gonna drop a few Kaity Tong updates from our dusty & crusty planet chocko vaults. This week Chocko gave us the 411 on Chiller Theatre from October 1997 in Secaucus, NJ and also his 3 hour wait outside of Tower Records on 4th & Broadway on a cold, cold November 25th, 1997 night – waiting for THE RAMONES! Without further adieu – Hey Ho – Let’s Go!

KILLER SWAG: Posters from After Dark Action!
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
I just wanted to drop a big AFTER DARK ACTION elbow and HI-FIVE to the guys and gals at After Dark Films for sending us some killer promotional posters signed by the cast members of the recently released films including sigs from Cung Le from DRAGON EYES, the beautiful – Yvette Yates from EL GRINGO, Devon Sawa & Wes Chatham from the PHILLY KID, Elisabeth Röhm & Antonio Negret (Director) from TRANSIT, and a signature from STASH HOUSE that I couldn’t quite make out, but I KNOW it’s not Dolph Lundgren – darn! Now I’m on a mad hunt to get Jean Cleade Van Damme, Scott Adkins, Christian Slater, & Dolph Lundgren’s autograph to complete my collection!
After Dark Action (After Dark Films + Silver Pictures) released these 5 exclusive action packed movies on May 11th which played at select theatres. After Dark usually specializes in horror films but they took a swan dive into the action world! Please continue to make martial arts and action films – AFTER DARK FILMS! You can catch DRAGON EYES, EL GRINGO, PHILLY KID, TRANSIT, and STASH HOUSE on video on demand such as Amazon or iTunes as well as on DVD soon! I watched 3 out of the 5 so far (Dragon Eyes, Stash House, & El Gringo). Philly Kid & Transit – I see you!

REEWIND: The 43rd Chamber
May 25th, 2012 by Mr. C
Just came about some old flyers from one of our favorite kung fu video stores (VHS format) from the late 1980’s and 1990’s on 43rd street not too far from the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC – The one and only – THE 43rd CHAMBER. They had an awesome stock of classic kung fu movies – Shaw Brothers and modern HK action as well. The 43rd Chamber also stocked instructional martial art videos. I remembered buying the Benny “The Jet” Urquidez kickboxing set which I still have in the planet chocko vaults. The 43rd’s poster collection was very extensive to boot. The awesome thing that I remembered about this shop was that they allowed you to preview the film on VHS before buying. The guys behind the counter had a quick nack for fast forwarding right to the extraordinary fight scenes while all the customers started to chat and revel about the movie! “Damn – Lo Lieh’s footwork was amazing!” It definitely was the place to be for the kung fu movie fanboy!
I don’t remember exactly when they closed their doors but I think it was shortly after the triple XXX cleanup and the Disney invasion of Times Square. Of course, the prominence of DVD’s and the internet also led to their demise. There were plenty of other Hell’s Kitchen video stores that stocked kung fu movie gems A LA – ahem – cough, cough – the XXX video-peep show joints but the people frequenting those mutha’s weren’t quite the same as the raggamuffins at the 43rd! Hey – Pee Wee Herman – how the hell are you?

The Great GoogaMooga 2012
May 24th, 2012 by chocko
The Great GoogaMooga (An Amusement Park of Food & Drink) weekend happened last week in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. Shout out to Joey Teacups for hooking me up with a ticket for Saturday! Yeah, I know you’ve all heard about the “disaster” that was Googa…spotty cellphone service, waiting on a line for 45 minutes for a bite to eat or for Googamoola, the preferred form of payment at the Beer and Wine Pavillions. Oh no! Would you like some cheese with that whine? This is probably coming from the same folks that will wait on a line for the same amount of time for a Double Shack and fries. Yes, there were plenty of lines, but nobody starved at the FREE event and there were lots of great bands and activities to keep us entertained and distracted from the rumbly in the tumbly. My only beef was trying to get into the Extra Mooga section of the festival, but apparently that V.I.P. Wonderland was only inclusive to the people crazy enough to fork over $250 for the weekend. They all got their tickets refunded due to the lack of heaping plates of food they were promised. Those of us in the lower ranks of the Mooga caste system stayed in the freebie areas where the bands were playing. I caught most of the Holy Ghost! set. Synth melodies and dance music heavy on the hooks got most of the crowd shaking and baking.
A view from inside the Wine Tasting Pavilion. Lots of Sommeliers and Wineries represented. Gitoff…definitely not the scene for the raggedy looking Chocko who was outta there faster than you can say “Pinot Noir.”
This is more like it…and no need for quarters at these machines! I played free games of Ms. Pacman and Burger Time ’til I got dizzy! I also picked up a lot of free bubble gum from the Orbit girls walking around. Score!
There were a lotta hot chicitas in the park lounging out on blankets and noshing and munching. “Hey Boo-Boo what’s in the picnic basket”?
The Urbarn featured watermelon sculptures (nice melons!) and a Seed Bomb booth brought to you by Just Food, an organization that “connects communities and local farmers with the resources and support they need to make fresh, locally grown food accessible to all New Yorkers.” Hooray!
Chocko caught a couple songs by Unchained, a Van Halen (David Lee Roth era) cover band. They ruled! Next time they’re playing, I’m there. Pictured above is Bear Hands at the Hamageddon Stage where the crowd worked off the pounds in the hipster-punk mosh pit. People were walking around with plates of bacon. Chocko got inspired and went to the Porchetta booth for a $7 moist, and tasty, boneless pork roast sandwich. It was pretty small for the hefty price and I housed it in about 3 bites.
The crowning jewel of the carnivore friendly (sorry vegans!) Hamageddon area was the “This Lil Piggy” steel sculpture which featured a whole pig getting roasted and toasted. If that wasn’t enough…flames shot out of that sucker too. It was a sight to behold! Props to the sculptor Charlie Smith and Crew at Sparseland Studios from Atlanta, Georgia.
My adventure ended with some songs by an amazing hip hop band out of Philly, the Roots. Black Thought was cold crushin’ on the microphone, Questlove on the drums is always a sight to see and a pleasure to the eardrums. The rest of the band was super hyped, hopping and running all over the stage. They started out the gates with their version of a Slick Rick song, “La Di Da Di” and dedicated the song to the late, great Godfather of Go-Go, Chuck Brown. They performed some of Kool and The Gang’s “Jungle Boogie” (check out the video below!) and some of the hits including “You Got Me.” Adios and see you next year, GoogaMooga!

Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver
May 22nd, 2012 by Mr. C
While still on the pedestrian bridge tip after recently visiting the Walkway over the Hudson in New York State, we figured we might as well add some photos of a more death defying and cooler bridge that the Planet Chocko freaks have quivered across in February of 2009 while in Vancouver for a Broken Social Scene and Tegan & Sara concert at the Orpheum. Here she is – the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge originally built in 1889 which stretches 450 feet across the Capilano River! There were also some very neat smaller suspension bridges that we crossed over from tree-top to tree-top!
