When Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller indicted Paul Manafort, President Trump’s White House downplayed its significance: Representatives said Manafort had only been the President’s campaign manager for two months. When the Trump campaign’s foreign policy adviso, George Papadopoulos, was indicted, the President pretended like he was errand boy he had never met.
When it comes to the just-indicted Rger Stone, however, President Trump will have a harder time publicly distancing himself from the significance of his longtime friend and political advisor. Stone, who was arrested this morning for lying about his communication with Wikileaks, is also the subject of a 2017 Netflix documentary, “Get Me Roger Stone,” in which Trump lays out his special history with the advisor.
In the documentary directed by Daniel Dimauro, Dylan Bank, and Morgan Pehme, Trump traces his 40-year relationship with Stone to their shared mentor, Senator Joseph McCarthy’s henchman Roy Cohn, and...

When it comes to social-issue documentaries, Netflix has the market cornered. In recent years, the streaming platform’s original documentaries and docuseries have tackled everything under the sun, from business and politics to drug abuse and public-health crises.
For Netflix’s newest installment, “Recovery Boys,” Academy Award–nominated director Elaine McMillion Sheldon (“Heroin(e)”) delivers a revealing look at the opioid epidemic through the lens of four young men struggling to move on after years of addiction. Available to stream now on Netflix, the film tracks the men, newly sober, as they undergo a traumatic recovery process at a farming-based rehabilitation center and the distressing years that follow.
Today, with all eyes on the opioid crisis, Sheldon’s documentary provides something rare and valuable: an intimate study of progress and pain that serves to humanize rather than alienate. Here are five more Netflix documentaries that take a deep dive into contemporary social issues,...

For over a year now progressives have wondered how Donald Trump managed to get himself elected president. The answer may be found in the documentary Get Me Roger Stone, directed by the trio of Morgan Pehme, Daniel Dimauro and Dylan Bank, a Netflix release that has qualified for Oscar consideration. It reveals how Stone—the gleefully Machiavellian Gop operative and master of the dirty trick—more than anyone else orchestrated Trump's political rise. "Roger first hatched…...

Since he claims to thrive on the hatred of those who think democracy is best served by honesty and decency in political campaigns, let's all shout this together: Roger Stone is a swell guy. Loves his mama. Snappy dresser. Has helped sell Americans on some of their finest statesmen, from Richard M. Nixon to Donald J. Trump. We love ya, Rog. Here's hoping our admiration doesn't shrivel your weirdly pumped-up, expensively clothed physique.

Roger Stone wasn’t part of the Q&A following the world premiere of the new documentary “Get Me Roger Stone” at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, but the infamous political consultant did sneak into the screening shortly after it began and took one question from his seat after it was over.

Asked if he still advises president Donald Trump, Stone replied that he talks to Trump “from time to time,” adding, “I certainly wouldn’t divulge the content of those conversations or they would end. The president needs to be able to get advice and not have it end up on the front page of The New York Times.”

You may not know Roger Stone’s name, but I absolutely guarantee that you’re familiar with his work. A self-described “agent provocateur” who’s dedicated his entire life to becoming (and remaining) the Machiavellian puppet-master of American politics, Stone is the closest thing that Washington D.C. has ever had to a genuine supervillain. Transformed by a chance encounter with a radioactive Barry Goldwater book when he was just a kid, Stone immediately began fashioning himself into a destructive force of nature. It would take a while before the body-building dandy started dressing like the Riddler, but in first grade he was already feeding his classmates disinformation about how a certain presidential candidate was in favor of school on Saturdays, and at 19 he became the youngest person named in the Watergate scandal (and he was proud of it).

Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming original documentary “Get Me Roger Stone.” The film explores the life and career of the longtime Donald Trump advisor, who helped launch his political run.

“Get Me Roger Stone” features interviews with the infamous political strategist and self-proclaimed “agent provacateur,” as well as with people who have followed and studied his career. The documentary explores the career of the man who sports a tattoo of President Nixon in his back as a badge of honor.
“Those who say I have no soul, those who say I have no principles are losers,” Stone says in the trailer, sounding a lot like Trump. “Those are bitter losers.”

Master manipulator, agent provocateur, political mastermind….it’s quite the mix of ingredients that make up the personality of Roger Stone, but it’s that concoction which makes him one of the most feared and respected players in the corridors of power.
Directed by Daniel Dimauro, Morgan Pehme, and Dylan Bank, “Get Me Roger Stone” explores the life of the titular political tactician, who changed the landscape of modern campaigning, and helped pave the way for the rise of Donald Trump.

Scavenger Killers’ Dylan Bank is the latest subject in our Q&A series, with the director telling us all about the making of his latest movie:
Thanks for taking the time to chat with us Dylan. Can you tell us how you got involved with “Scavenger Killers”?
No problem, I can talk about movies forever, just tell the guy standing right offstage with the big cane to yank me when my time is up. My first film, “Nightmare” played at Ken Del Vecchio’s Hoboken International Film Festival a few years back, and won some awards. Those were sweet awards to win, because they came with cash, and as someone who’d been around the block with festivals across the world, Ken’s festival was one of the best. I mean, he had a comedian hosting it, people getting roasted, clips from the movie, a whole red-carpet ceremony – it was impressive.

Arriving on DVD, VOD and for Digital Download from 1 July is director Dylan Bank's new crime spree horror 'Scavenger Killers'. Midnight Releasing will be unleashing the new feature which reinvents the 'Bonnie and Clyde' concept this time teaming up a judge and a defense attorney who both go on a 'killing rampage'. Bank helms from a script by co-writers Ken Del Vecchio and Rachael Robbins. The movie stars Eric Roberts, Charles Durning, Robert Loggia, Dustin Diamond, Robert Bogue, Kim Allen, Ken Del Vecchio, Suzi Lorraine and the sexy Rachael Robbins ('Bikini Bloodbath Car Wash'). Head below for the trailer and to check out the bizarre synopsis....

Before my screening of Captured Hearts, director Dylan Bank did a short introduction where he tried to express just how sinisterly fucked up his film is. Being the horror fan I am, I figured I’d seen it all before, but somewhere between Santa Clause (played by Charles Durning) exposing genitalia made out of Christmas decorations and a full-out on-screen orgy, I realized Dylan wasn’t messing around with his intro. I can’t even discuss some of the tamer material out of shame, just on the off-chance that a family member reads this review. Seriously, I’m still trying to wrap my mind around this sexually perverse “torture porn” cheese-fest. Ken? Rachael? What the hell did I just watch?

When looking over the cast for a little low budget horror flick, you don't usually see the names of Academy Award nominees. That rarely happens. Usually you get cats like Dustin Diamond, etc. Well, the upcoming flick Scavenger Killers inexplicably has them both and then some!
Dylan Bank directs from a screenplay by Kenneth Del Vecchio and Rachael Robbins. Now here's the neat thing... the cast! Eric Roberts, Robert Loggia, and Charles Durning all star along with Robert Bogue (The Good Guy, "Guiding Light"), Rachael Robbins (An Affirmative Act, Screaming Dead), Dustin Diamond ("Saved by the Bell"), Kim Allen ("Army Wives"), Angela Little (American Pie Bandcamp, The Life Zone), and Suzi Lorraine (Solid State, The Haunting of Pearson Place).
Take a look at the first trailer and artwork!

IFC Films’ Nightmare, directed by Dylan Blank and starring Jason Scott Campbell and Nicole Roderick, hit DVD on September 29, 2009. If you haven’t seen the film and like good cerebral horror, check it out!
Review originally published on February 24, 2009.
Nightmare melds the real with the surreal in this bizarre mystery about a student filmmaker (Jason Scott Campbell) who has a one-night stand with an actress named Natalya (Nicole Roderick), but when they wake the following morning they find a camcorder setup at the foot of the bed that wasn’t there the night before. They decide to watch the tape, but their curiosity quickly turns to fear and confusion as they discover themselves brutally murdering people in that very same bedroom. In an attempt to understand what’s happening and also benefit from his recent experiences, the filmmaker turns his living nightmare into his next film while the nightmare continues to haunt him.

Chicago – I love IFC Films. They release such a diverse, interesting slate of films every year that one never quite knows what they’re going to get with each individual offering. Five recent IFC titles are the subject of the latest DVD Round-Up, our regular column drawing attention to titles that may have otherwise gone unnoticed.
Titles in this very arthouse edition of the Round-Up include a stylish horror film called “Nightmare,” a twisted thriller called “Pvc-1,” a puzzle of a story known as “Fermat’s Room,” an Icelandic movie called “White Night Wedding,” and an odd flick directed by Madonna known as “Filth and Wisdom”. Art film fans should check them all out. Keep IFC going as strongly as they have lately. But if you need more information, official synopsis, cast, and tech details follow.

Call me country bumpkin, but I like to be able to understand the movies I watch, and Nightmare, the first cinematic venture of Dylan Bank and Morgan Pehme, just doesn’t cut it. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy films that are real "thinkers," but there's a difference between having to put a little extra cerebral effort into watching a movie and thinking "Wtf?" over and over. I could not wrap my head around this film. If all you're interested in is some violence and gore (naked violence and gore, in fact) and don't want to think too hard about what you're watching, you might want to pass on Nightmare.

Retail price is $24.98. In Fermat’S Room, a group of mathematicians are invited to a stranger’s home, where they find themselves trapped and forced to solve increasingly difficult puzzles as the walls literally close in on them. Federico Luppi from Guillermo del Toro’s Cronos...

When it comes to horror movies, I know lots of stuff but I’ve never claimed to be cutting edge. That’s usually because I’m so busy mining the past and revelling in vintage terror trends that I often miss the current product when it first sees the light of the projector beam or small screen. But that’s okay. To paraphrase Charles Foster Kane, they’ve been making horror films for over 100 years and I’ve only been watching for 30.
So forgive the fact that in 2009, I’m only now getting around to raving about a blood spattered modern day surrealist shocker that was lensed in 2005. That film is Nightmare directed by Dylan Bank and co-written by Morgan Pehme and Bank and man alive is it aboslutely insane, sleazy, unnerving, bizarre and boldly berserk. In other words, my kind of horror film. Cerebral yet utterly, proudly trashy. Yum.

Despite its deceptively generic title, Nightmare is anything but a generic horror film. In fact, this is the horror film that fans who claim to be sick of Hollywood re-selling them the same old stories over and over again should be clamoring for.
But first, a caveat.
Writer/director Dylan Bank name-drops David Lynch early in the film, and Lynch's influence is obvious as the film careens from one plot twist to the next. Any fan of surreal storytelling and endings that defiantly refuse to wrap-up the film's events for the audience is in for a treat.
If this is not the type of film you enjoy, then this film is not for you.
The appeal of this film has less to do with the plot than with the experience of following the protagonist's diorienting descent into madness.
