Walking to a preview screening last week of Grindhouse, I got a whiff (fetid, of course) of the exploitation-movie past. The screening was on 12th Street in Manhattan's East Village, and my walk took me along 14th Street past a prime grind house, the Metropolitan Theatre - or rather past the hole in the ground where the Metropolitan once stood. There used to be a film stills shop next door: Movie Star News, whose proprietor, Irving Klaw, supplemented his income by making and selling films of bondage princess Bettie Page...

Speaking to a small gathering of film aficionados at the Carpenter Center, Hoberman offered a preview of his next book, which will focus on the role of “movies as political events and political events as movies” in the 1950s. Hoberman, a visiting lecturer on visual and environmental studies, said the book will focus on the films that he believes reflect...
