THE SANDMAN 1996
Those familiar with the no-budget auteur Bookwalter’s work won’t be surprised to hear that the shot-on-video SANDMAN isn’t very good…but then, it’s not all that bad, either

One of the most remarkable films of the nineties, and easily the best film David Cronenberg never made

Purporting to be about Franz Kafka and featuring some distinguished actors, KAFKA is a thoroughly misconceived project that’s alternately boring and stupid
APOCALYPSE
Evangelical silliness from the nineties that’s probably the best Christian end-of-the-world movie on the market

AMERICAN PSYCHO (Film)
Although it wowed many mainstream critics, this lukewarm ‘00 adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis’ infamous novel is a dreary and affected slog
