Willow Creek

Bobcat Goldthwait tries his hand at horror and does a decent job of it in this found-footage Bigfoot flick. This is a better version of a "Blair Witch" movie than that god-awful "Blair Witch" sequel was. Just one couple camping in the woods, looking for Bigfoot, and all hell slowly breaks loose. There's a long, extended shot that lasts for several minutes without moving the camera at all towards the end. I thought I would end up being annoyed with it, but the tension build so nicely during it that I was genuinely impressed. I do think that there is a two-second shot at the end that simply doesn't need to be there, but that may be my personal preference for this type of film, which I truly do love. All in all, a good horror film. 3.5/5

Call Me Lucky

This is an amazing movie about a truly inspiring man who has lived a difficult and yet triumphant life. It's humbling to watch the journey of Barry Crimmins from flame-throwing comic to activist against child pornography. He's clearly come a long way, but, judging from the depth of his still-incinerating anger, I fear he has a ways left to go. Another winner from Bobcat Goldthwait. 5/5

God Bless America

Bobcat had a good idea, one I could get behind, but went WAY too overboard in this black comedy. Shame. 2/5
