IFC News
IFC will launch “Henry’s Film Corner,” a movie review show hosted by
actor, author and former Black Flag singer Henry Rollins, on Saturday,
December 4.
Rollins will talk movies, showbiz and film culture with special guests
and ordinary people (including his mailman), with clips of upcoming
films, DVD releases and rediscovered classics providing fodder for
their spirited discussions.
Regular features will include: “Typecast,” which will examine how
various social and ethnic groups are portrayed in film; “What to
Watch,” a compilation of films organized by mood; and “Henry’s Picks,”
in which Rollins recommends what viewers should see.
According to Rollins, "'Henry's Film Corner' will not be some sanitized
'talk show' with polite commentary and everyone trying to be politcally
correct. I have very strong opinions on many subjects and I look
forward to many high-spirited, in-your-face debates on many different
issues, including things that piss me off. At the same time, I will be
offering our audience thorough reviews of upcoming films to help
provide some guidance on what to see and what to avoid."
Debbie DeMontreux, IFC’s Vice President of Development and Production,
described “Henry’s Film Corner” as “'Ebert & Roeper’ meet ‘Real
Time with Bill Maher’” and called Rollins “one of the entertainment
world’s most intriguing personalities, at times ferocious, facetious,
intolerable, brutal, hysterical, angry and jaded.” She said, “This
series will combine Henry’s love of film and his thoughtful reviews
with his and his guests’ frank and brutally honest opinions on
everything from the world of film to more complex and serious social
and political issues.”
The 10-part series joins IFC’s 2005 original programming slate, which
will include “Ultimate Film Fanatic Season 2,” “Dinner for Five” and
“Wanderlust,” a new documentary from the directors of “American
Splendor.”
"Henry's Film Corner" will premiere on Saturday, December 4, at
midnight (EST)/9 p.m. (PST). Each new 30-minute episode will air on the
first Saturday of the month.

going and so is VH1 with "I Love the '90s: Part Deux," the fifth
installment in VH1's "I Love The ... " franchise. From caller I.D. to
Moviefone, the Patch to The Club, and from Grumpy Old Men to grumpy

"The Usual Suspects" and more!
With the same style and charm as VH1's "I Love The '70s, '80s, '80s
Strikes Back, and '90s," VH1 is "tearin' da roof" off with another
intense look at the most slammin' decade on record. With "I Love the
'90s: Part Deux," viewers will get a chance to help VH1 celebrate its
'golden anniversary' as 1999 rings in as the 50th episode in the "I
Love The ... " franchise. So party like it's 1999 and pump up the jam
with every aspect of the '90s when it premieres on Monday-Friday,
January 17 - 21 At 9PM* every night.

through a single year, highlighting the grungiest decade ever through
retro clips from sitcoms, movies, music videos, TV commercials, network
news and other sources, plus new interviews with the people who
survived the decade that can best be described as "Da Bomb."

(airs every Sunday, 10 pm ET, re-runs on following Wednesday, 8 pm ET)
DVD released in the UK on June 16, 2003
Rollins: "Last April I was contacted by Cathy Rogers who co-hosted and co-produces "Junkyard Wars." She told me about a new show she was working on called "Full Metal Challenge." In short: Twenty-seven three man teams from all over the world are given one month and three thousand dollars to build a full-on endurance vehicle that will have to withstand the rigors put to it by the FMC vehicle breaking courses. At the end of twelve episodes, there’s only three teams left and they battle it out. Cathy asked me if I was interested in co-hosting it with her. I met with her and she showed me the sketches for the courses the cars will have to drive on. The whole thing was to shoot in England over a five week period and there was well over two hundred people building at the site. It looked totally insane. I was very interested. I screen tested with Cathy at the "Junkyard Wars" site and the two channels carrying the show, Channel 4 in England and TLC in America, gave it the green light. We did it. I got back here from five weeks in England two days ago. The show is really good and they let me say whatever I wanted to for the most part, I was winging it up there. The show hits TLC in October 2002 and the UK in early 2003. So, you stateside types, check it out this fall. When it gets closer to the first broadcast, we’ll let you know. It was a good time and I think the show holds up."
The region 2 DVD was released in the Uk on June 16, 2003. Extras include: Interactive games - presented using a multi-camera angle feature on your DVD player, enabling you to see first hand what the drivers are experiencing during a game.

segments, roundtables, and celebrities. In addition, guest field
reporters will check in from Hollywood and around the country -- and

About VH1 News Special: Inside Hate
Rock Hatecore: It's about violence,
it's about the overthrow of the US government, it's about a white
world. And it's become the leading tool to attract new followers to
some of America's most virulent racist groups.
"VH1 News Special: Inside Hate
Rock" uncovers the frightening allure and danger of the music known as
hatecore through the eyes of the bands who play it, the fans who listen
to it, and the demagogues who hawk it for political and financial
profit. The exclusive report explores the evolution of the
movement, tracing the story of hatecore pioneer George Burdi, who left
the movement, broadened his horizons and currently plays in a
multicultural band in Toronto, as well as examining the rock against
racism movement and the battle for the hearts and minds of young music
fans.

"Full Metal Challenge"
Channel
4 (UK) -
beginning April 6, 2003 5:30 pm
Rollins: "Last April I was contacted by Cathy Rogers who
co-hosted and co-produces "Junkyard Wars." She told me about a new show
she was working on called "Full Metal Challenge." In short:
Twenty-seven three man teams from all over the world are given one
month and three thousand dollars to build a full-on endurance vehicle
that will have to withstand the rigors put to it by the FMC vehicle
breaking courses. At the end of twelve episodes, there’s only three
teams left and they battle it out.
Cathy asked me if I was interested in co-hosting it with her. I met
with her and she showed me the sketches for the courses the cars will
have to drive on. The whole thing was to shoot in England over a five
week period and there was well over two hundred people building at the
site. It looked totally insane. I was very interested. I screen tested
with Cathy at the "Junkyard Wars" site and the two channels carrying
the show, Channel 4 in England and TLC in America, gave it the green
light.
We did it. I got back here from five weeks in England two days ago. The
show is really good and they let me say whatever I wanted to for the
most part, I was winging it up there. The show hits TLC in October 2002
and the UK in early 2003. So, you stateside types, check it out this
fall. When it gets closer to the first broadcast, we’ll let you know.
It was a good time and I think the show holds up."
