Out of the Darkness: The Reviews of Writer/Director Alex Cox

Alex Cox, the writer/director probably best known for the punk-themed Repo Man and Sid & Nancy, recently published his diary of filmmaking, X Films, available from Soft Skull Press. In several parts of the book, Cox reiterates the nuisance of dealing with bureacracies, and in particular those that have been created by the Studios  (and continue to survive). As an advocate of reducing the strains of the abomination known as modern copyright law, it’s no surprise that some of his materials are available to freely download from his website. Among them, film fans, is a guide to mostly obscure cult films (see the Moviedrome Guides 1 and 2 on his website).
