Film Review: LAWS OF GRAVITY(1992) Before the Moustache Wax and Wool Caps
Laws of Gravity, the low-budget 1992 film written and directed by Nick Gomez, takes place in a decaying, pre-hipster Brooklyn. These streets are harsh.

Coming at you like a boat propeller churning through scared fish, Demons is a hardcore, heavy metal discotheque bloodbath.

That heavy metal industrial junkyard hangover digs in a little deeper come Christmas Time Cheap liquor melting your guts Synthesize them into reindeer road kill The lamentable sense of worthlessness Amplified Off key Christmas Carols spouted from annoying revelers ripping through busted speakers and chintzy microphones Embarrassment, Guilt and Mediocrity are my Three Wise Men...
