Jesus, Elvis impersonators, and the living dead all stumble their way through this campy and over-the-top independent comedy. Four bohemian actors from Seattle meet when they arrive at a theater only to find they haven't made the cut for a play for which they auditioned. On a whim, the foursome -- black nationalist Rahim (Jeff Gilbert), bisexual free-love advocate Sky (Tim Gouran), embittered feminist Jessie (Angie Louise), and geeky tumbling expert Joshua (Todd Licea) -- hop on motorcycles and set out for New York City, where they all hope to land the leading role in a production of Jesus Christ Superstar; however, en route they pass through Jackville, a small town that has little use for free-spirited types. When the would-be Jesuses learn that Mo Jack (Joseph Franklin), a elderly local, is being run off his land so a housing development can be built, the actors leap to his defense -- which lands them all in jail in short order, and a lynching looks to be in the cards until a platoon of zombies attack Jackville. Gory Gory Hallelujah was directed by Sue Corcoran and Angie Louise, who also bill themselves as the Von Piglet Sisters. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Paul Kostick wrote and directed this comedic commentary on the art world. Settling in at a Seattle art museum, impulsive loser Les Martin (Christian Ryser) sits and admires a Vermeer painting -- to such a degree that he rips it off the wall and steals it, telling his estranged wife Ray (Susan Tate) that he found it in a yard sale. When the media mistakenly interprets the theft as an act of a terrorist group, Les rises to the occasion by writing a manifesto. Continuing to paint himself into a corner and also developing paranoid notions, Les kicks Ray out of the house. Meanwhile, his friend artist Plastic Man (Matt Riedy) has an eye on the painting. Pablo Mayor and Ellington orchestra veteran Art Falbush supply the listenable trumpet-piano jazz score. Shown at the 1998 Seattle Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi
