Jacob's Ladder

Honestly? I was kind of let down...I liked it, there were some cool visuals and Tim Robbins was great, but I guess my expectations were too high.

I cant even really put my finger on it...I guess I was just expecting more somehow? Can't even really put it into words.

But I will give it another shot someday, for sure.

You have to. I think it was just perfect, with the right balance of tone and visualisations. Definitely re-watch it whenever you can. Its a movie which will grow on you.

Beyond Re-Animator.

Really a piece of garbage compared with the other two, but it was fun once all hell broke loose and everything was getting shot up with reagent.

The Dungeonmaster

I enjoyed this. Good cheeseball fun and it an appearance by the band W.A.S.P really made it for me.

I liked it when it came out even tho the ending was really depressing to me. Not something I'd own but its cool to catch bits and pieces of it on TV during the holidays.
