GreenCine Presents Mau Mau Sex Sex at the Yerba Buena Center

maumausexsex_ybca3.jpg Tonight! GreenCine presents Mau Mau Sex Sex at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, introduced by director Ted Bonnitt and writer Eddie Muller. When GreenCine launched its Video-on-Demand service two years ago, our very first title was this wonderful, unconventional documentary on legendary exploitation film producers Dan Sonney and David F. Friedman. Unlike most bio-pics overwhelmed by clips, the film expertly intermingles their earlier work with candid footage of the gentlemen in their twilight years.

Join us for the fifth anniversary of Mau Mau Sex Sex's release, followed by an extensive Q&A; with the filmmakers. Tonight, Wednesday, December 7, 7:30pm. $7/$5 GreenCine and YBCA Members, Students, Seniors.

PowerPage reviews GreenCine.

O'Grady's PowerPage has offered up a nice review of GreenCine, now available for your reading pleasure.

There are two types of people in the internet world; people who don't rent DVDs on-line and hard-core "Oh-my-God, I love NetFlix" types. For a long time the only real option for on-line movie rentals was NetFlix. Well, for those of you who are considered getting that NetFlix tattoo, I'd hold off on that trip to the parlor and check out GreenCine.

GreenCine is a San Francisco based DVD rental company that specializes in genres that may be hard to find on NetFlix. In addition to the regular genres that your friendly, neighborhood Blockbuster carries, GreenCine's genres have fun/realistic titles like Comic Books, Cult, Espionage, Biopics and Quest to name a few. New DVD titles aren't highlighted on their web-site, but they're in there. I did a side-by-side comparison and found many, but not all, of the same new releases that the competition has on their site. Another notable difference between GreenCine and NetFlix is the adult-targeted materials. GreenCine refers to it as "BlueCine".

Besides renting DVDs, GreenCine also offers its members two other options for watching movies. Video-On-Demand (VOD) and DivX downloads.
