A few weeks ago, I was made aware of a movie that was coming to the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City later this month. The film, Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives from director Israel Luna is a campy, low-to-no-budget send-up of revenge thrillers, molded in the style of blaxploitation films of the 1970s.
In the words of Luna, "The idea actually came up when a group of us were watching the Grindhouse movies that Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez did. After, we were just playing around and someone said I should do this with drag queens. That would be so much fun."
