The Exorcist III, 1990

I admired the heck out of the acting but there is way too much telling and not enough showing for me personally.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, 2011

I wish DC would do a couple more animated anthology films like this one. I really enjoy the format and there are so many fringe characters you could introduce to new fans.

Troma’s War, 1988

This movie is amazing. Tons of fun action and terribly tasteless jokes. God bless Troma and God bless Lloyd Kaufman!

Netflix vs. the World, 2019

I found this documentary endlessly fascinating because I was working for Blockbuster Video at the time this was all happening. Lots of weird things we went through now make sense with some context. I was surprised how close Blockbuster came to overtaking Netflix’s disc rental service.

Maniac, 1980

You can’t argue this movie’s place in slasher history. Some of Tom Savini’s finest work. It’s a movie that makes you want to take a shower after watching. Everything is so disgusting.

The Lodge, 2019

Heavy on atmosphere, light on plot. Good performances all around. Just needs about 15 minutes cut out of the middle to tighten it up.

Demon Wind, 1990

Borrows heavily from Evil Dead 2. Takes a while to get going but there’s a lot of fun to be had with the makeup effects.
