Dynamic Black Heat

Ah! The good old days. So bad and so tough, but it was entertaining.
 Back in the day if anyone mentioned Blaxploitation , they'd be looked at funny. You know why? The word didn't exist. It was just pure exploitation and black cinema. Can U dig it, man! Black Heat wasn't the original title for this film. That don't matter anyways. What matters is that
Black Heat is an action film about a kick-ass detective named Kicks Carter. Think Richard Roundtree as Shaft, but without the budget. He's after the bad guys and he's got a mystery to solve. Solid!

Funny bottom of the barrel laughs.

Outtakes is what you would call "Bottom of the Barrel" , but it still provides hardy laughs when you least expect it too. I'm just kidding, Outtakes is sexy romp of movie spoofs. It's worth checking out.
Honest.

The Video Vault is closing.

Closing Doors For Good **After 25 Years*

I'm writing to share some sad news. After 25 years as a mainstay in Old Town
Alexandria and among movie-lovers and wackos nationwide,* Video Vault* will
soon be* finis*,* kaput*, closed forever.
What happened? Well, the story of packaged media (movies, but also music and
maybe books) is simple: It's all about* digits*. Too many digital downloads,
too many digits on that rent check.  My wife Jane and I always believed in
the value of good advice and customer service. In tough times, low cost and
convenience trump all that.
We haven't had any time to really look back over the 25 years, but we did
scrape up some of our favorite news articles about the Vault. Sorry to say,
the* National Enquirer* piece isn't available online, neither are the
*Entertainment
Weekly *or *Wall Street Journal*, but here's some stuff that helps tell our
story, a kind of virtual press kit:

Multimedia fansite about Video Vault
My wife Jane and I will be around the store until the end, telling our story
and selling off everything that will fit through the door, especially our
collection of 65,000 movie titles, ranging in quality from the great to the
good to the God-awful! Many titles in our inventory are impossible to find
elsewhere - we've prided ourselves on selection that no chain and no other
mom & pop store could beat.
Our* GOING OUT OF VIDNESS* sale starts today and runs until April 30. Come
see us, you never know what amusing title, anecdote, or graphic art might be
fodder for your reporting.
I'm in the store from 11-6 nearly every day. You can reach me at
703-549-8848. I'd love to hear from you, and tell a few stories, and yes,
get some more folks in the store at least one more time.

Support independent retail!

It's time to Kiss Kiss Kill Kill !

I was taught that outside of sex, hitting a female was verboten, but what if you were up against an all female army. Well,,,,what are you going to do? That's what Kommisor X is up against in this super slick super agent film Kiss Kiss Kill Kill. Double 07 wasn't the only super cool secret agent and Tony Kendall sets out to prove it in this first installment of his Kommisor X entry.

Zombies wanna have fun too.

This is a movie about Mardis Gras!

The Ghost of Alabama will play in the snow

Hey Folks. We're going to venture out into the snow to share this freaky deaky flick. It's crazy sunshine filled fun.

Exploitation Coming Attractions featuring Steve Buscemi

You can sit through a bunch of crap with your Netflix account or you can watch a compilation video where some actors watch them for you. That's what Film House Fever is all about. Sometimes the coming attractions are far more better than the actual movie so this will save you plenty of time.
Tonight's door prize will be a miniature Guitar Hero guitar that plays.
