	The Candy Eye Factory, The Mallorys Go Black Market,13 min, $8 Unabashedly poppy and seemingly superficial, The Mallorys offers a funky flashback to young women's closets of the 1980s. The film's three heroines mock and marvel at the decade's boldest stylistic hits and misses while selecting profitable pieces to sell to style-starved, Russian teenagers. Greed, jealousy, and materialism soon invade The Mallorys' once-innocent scheme and suddenly a supposedly shallow story about parachute pants and polo shirts deepens into a surprisingly affecting exploration of assertion and empowerment. The Mallorys Go Black Market suggests that the shallow and the superficial are, in fact, sometimes the quickest fix for emotional bruises. For some people, style actually is substance.
	Ben Russell, The Unknown Part of the World, DVD, $10 We re-stocked a super limited amount of DVDs from GUGGENHEIM fellow. We still have a few of these, they look so good and the films/videos are even better. Powerful assortment from a man making videos for a decade.
	Kerri Koch, Don't Need You, DVD, $17.99 Don't Need You is a documentary film that tells the story of the origins of Riot Grrrl in the American independent music scene of the 1990's, and how this feminist movement evolved into a revolutionary underground network of education and self-awareness through music, writing, activism and women-friendly community. The film gives audiences a chance to meet key figures in the development of riot grrrl and see for themselves how these women have changed the history of music and feminism forerver. The film features one-on-one interviews interspersed with rare, archival materials, including orginal riot grrrl fanzines, flyers and photographs, as well as seldom seen footage from pioneering riot grrl bands like Bikini Kill, Heavens to Betsy and Bratmobile. Includes interview footage with Kathleen Hanna, Allison Wolfe, Corin Tucker, Sharon Cheslow, Madigan Shive, Julie Lary, Ramdasha Bikceem, Natalie Cox, Mark Anderson and Ian Mackaye.
	Stranger Than Films, THAX, $20 "Thax Douglas is a laconic man trapped in a loud body. He's also a man frighteningly at ease with his carry; we watch him tread slowly down faceless streets, the same trundling step wherever he goes, with whatever he says." See the trailer.
