Pumpkinhead – Quickie Review

Directorial debut for the late special effects master, Stan Winston. Creepy tone throughout, solid gore and unsurprisingly, great creature effects and design. Lance Henrikson is Lance Henrikson as always and that’s just how we like it.

In The Line Of Fire – Quickie Review

Exciting, fast-paced action-thriller from director Wolfgang Peterson. One of Eastwood’s best films and performances.  However, Malkovich steals the movie. Great ensemble overall.

Maximum Overdrive – Quickie Review

I loved this movie as a kid. The violence holds up, but the dialogue is horrendous. This film has not aged well. However, the soundtrack is timeless.

Young Einstein – Quickie Review

Einstein splits the atom and beer can now be carbonated, kittens are baked in a pie. Hit and miss comedy from Australia. Yahoo Serious’s charisma only carries this movie so far.
