Preview: Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel (2011)

Synopsis:

Exploring the life of indie producer/director Roger Corman and his pandering influence on modern filmmaking and filmmakers.

• Poster: B+

Review:

A bevy of images from Corman's many B films adds strength to an interesting, if unoriginal design.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Anyone who's a fan of film history should find something to compel their attendance, but for most audiences, I don't know that this will help them to want to stop in and watch a documentary.

Oscar Prospects:

It could be a Documentary Feature nominee, though the Academy is notoriously shy about recognizing its own history, so a nomination would be all the film could hope for, even after its subject received an honorary Oscar last year.

Release Date:

• December 16, 2011

Full Review Synopsis:
