Review: Corman’s World (Blu-ray)
23 March 2012 11:57 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Roger Corman is one of those distinct Hollywood personalities that everyone has been exposed to in some manner. Whether you are aware of the man’s name or not, odds are you have seen a film he has produced, written or directed.
He has given many big names, from Jack Nicholson to Francis Ford Coppola, their start as part of the “Corman Film School”. His influence is immense in the film industry, and this is the focus of Alex Stapleton’s documentary, Corman’s World.
The film opens with Corman on the set of Dinoshark, doing what the man does best: making a movie! Well into his eighties, Corman is just as hands on as ever on the set of this sci-fi cheapie that was shot in Mexico. Over the next hour and a half (I beg that the film could have easily been twice as long and not suffered for it) Roger Corman, »

Glasgow FrightFest 2012 Review: Corman’s World – Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel

Corman’S World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel
Featuring: Roger Corman, Joe Dante, Peter Bogdanovich, Jack Nicholson, Dick Miller, Robert DeNiro, David Carradine, William Shatner | Directed by Alex Stapleton
Roger Corman is perhaps the most prolific and influential Hollywood filmmaker in the history of the medium. His immeasurable imprint on American cinema not only spans over six decades but has resulted in creating an indelible cinematic body of work as well as a legacy of training the next generation of actors, writers, directors and producers – many of whom have created cinema masterpieces of their own – including many listed above!
I’m a huge fan of exploitation cinema, I have been my entire movie-watching life. After all I grew up in the video generation – a generation in which lurid VHS boxes promised more than the movies within contained and a time when my movie experiences influenced the types of films I relish in and enjoy today. »

Corman’s World: Exploits Of A Hollywood Rebel review
20 February 2012 2:38 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
A new documentary pays tribute to the prolific independent filmmaker, Roger Corman. Here’s Ryan’s review of the entertaining Corman’s World…
The importance of Roger Corman in American filmmaking cannot be underestimated. Without Corman, the New Hollywood style of filmmaking, which arguably began with Easy Rider in 1969, would never have happened. Directors such as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard and Joe Dante would never have been given their first chance at making movies. Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and William Shatner may never have broken into stardom had Corman not given them roles in his films.
For much of the Us filmmaking establishment, Corman is ‘King of the Bs’ – a director and producer of low-budget trash. But what filmmaker Alex Stapleton’s documentary Corman’s World demonstrates is that, as cheap and swiftly made as Corman’s movies are, they’re varied, imaginative, and contrary to common assumptions, »

This tribute to the exploitation king reveals him as the very incarnation of never-say-die American entrepreneurialism
A supremely watchable documentary-tribute to the exploitation king Roger Corman. Cheerfully turning out low-budget shlockbusters, Corman emerges as the very incarnation of never-say-die American entrepreneurialism and capitalism, celebrating naughtiness, absurdity and fun. In the process, he has given a career start and an invaluable real-world film education to the likes of Jack Nicholson, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante, Ron Howard and Martin Scorsese. For film theorists, his anarchic movies such as The Terror (1963) – which he put together just because he happened to have a creepy-looking set which he couldn't bear to go to waste – are exercises in pure, narrative-less cinema, a series of wacky effects and explosions and stabbings and screams. And yet his anti-racism movie The Intruder (1962) was challenging and courageous; it was precisely because Corman was not encumbered with middlebrow good taste that »
