Private Parts – Quickie Review

Unsurprisingly raunchy, surprisingly touching, and often hilarious biopic about the rise of Howard Stern. Smart script, it really allows Howard to just be Howard. Great ensemble, but Paul Giamatti, as the infamous Pig-Vomit, is an absolute standout.

Pit And The Pendulum, The (1991) – Quickie Review: 31 Nights Of Horror – Day 15 / Film #2

A Poe adaptation starring Lance Henriksen, Mark Margolis, Jeffrey Combs, Happy Gilmore’s grandmother and it’s directed by Stuart Gordon? Yes, please! Set in Spain, during the time of the inquisitions. Almost fully American cast with American accents and using modern day turn of phase and colloquialisms. Very funny at times, purposefully. Very funny at times, …

A comatose patient falls for his new nurse and when he’s overcome with jealously about her personal life, his psychokinetic powers take over. A part of the Ozploitation movement of the 1970s, this low-key psychological horror really packs a punch. A nice little gem if you can find it.

Poltergeist (1982) – Quickie Review
