Equinox (1970) – It started out as a student film, which was then expanded to feature length.  The acting and script aren’t great. But when you realize that the original directors included Dennis Muren (FX genius involved in a bunch of Star Wars movies, Battlestar: Galactica, Jurassic Park and others), you realize that what makes…

Again, I posted a couple of sketches straight from my sketchbook: …but the majority of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my Etsy store.

Zebraman (2004) – Odd Japanese comedy about a third-grade teacher with a lousy home life and an obsession with “Zebraman,” a short-lived tokusatsu TV series (think “Kamen Rider”) from the ’70s.  But it’s more than the story of a middle-aged closet cosplayer, as amusing as that would be; he discovers, when he runs across an…

You are encouraged to Go Crazy.  Click here! (Note: There are a few of the more recent poster designs which are not…

That Guy Dick Miller (2014) – In honor of the dearly departed Dick Miller, who died January 30 at the age of 90, I watched this loving documentary of a man who became a definite Hollywood presence while never being a star.  In a career of supporting characters and one-day roles, he became beloved and…
