Pet Sematary II – Quickie Review
I only ever found the original film passable at best. This is a pretty weak follow-up. Edward Furlong is reliably awful. More gore than the first, but it’s also guilty of having more bore. There is only one reason to ever watch this film. The inspired and amusing performance of Clancy Brown.
Vagrant, The – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 14 / Film #2

Diggstown – Quickie Review
Great boxing movie, even better con artist movie. James Woods is magnetic; Bruce Dern is at his sleazeball best; Oliver Platt is a riot. Plenty of twists and turns along the way with a killer ending.
Dr. Giggles – Quickie Review
Camp is the order of the day in this surprisingly funny, heavily gory and underrated horror film. Larry Drake gives a wonderfully measured, over-the-top performance. Clever death scenes, a whole lot of fun.
Brain Donors – Quickie Review
A very funny movie in the tradition of the Marx Brothers. John Turturro is fantastic in the Groucho inspired role. Rapid fire jokes and sight gags elevate this move. Not all jokes hit, but there are far more hits than misses. The opening credit sequence is awesome, but an obvious ploy to pad the running …
Few Good Men, A – Quickie Review
The only film I have ever watched, rewound (yes, rewound) and the immediately watched again. Love me some Sorkin.
