Double Dragon II
NES
3/4 stars
Interesting, infuriating brawler mechanics. Wonderfully weird settings and characters. Some unnecessary and stupid platforming sequences.

The Hunt for Red October
3/4 stars
Expertly plotted, paced, and edited. Ridiculous Russian accents by Sean Connery and Sam Neil.

Lost Highway
by David Lynch
3/4 stars
Probably the most unsettling Lynch film I’ve seen. Lots of (mostly unnecessary) blood – uncharacteristic of Lynch. I’m still not sure exactly what went down, but that’s to be expected.

psychedelic psyence fiction. paper-thin characters, a bit slow in places, but ultimately mind-expanding.
