  Cheap Shots 1988

  ★★½ Watched 18 Nov 2023

  Coen-esque loser comedy with lots of darkness hiding just underneath the surface, bizarrely starring Louis Zurich and David Patrick Kelly. Those two are saddled with carrying the entire movie on their backs, and as charming as that duo may be, this easily could have used more weirdness or more than one set piece to balance out their rather dull lives. For DPK enthusiasts only.

  Chappaqua 1966

  ★★★★ Watched 11 Nov 2023

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  One of the most inexplicable things I’ve seen on film this year is William S. Burroughs and Hervé Villechaize getting mowed down by a Tommy Gun while dressed as 1920’s gangsters

  As soon as the farting dirt monsters appeared, I knew I was watching something special.

  92 in the Shade 1975

  ★★★★ Watched 14 Feb 2019

  Sort of like something Hellman and Altman would have wrote together if they both had high fevers and were smoking maybe a little too much Florida dirt weed. Hazy, humid, and real sweaty. Deeply weird.
