El hoyo (2019)
A vertical prison with one cell per level. Two people per cell. One only food platform and two minutes per day to feed from up to down. An endless nightmare trapped in The Hole.
Surreal, dystopian tale makes the best of its intriguing premise with some surprising twist and shocks and a mysterious ending.

Ant Head (2018)
A short video featuring my friends the ants along with cheese, etc. and one-and-a-half tracks from the Thought Gang album.
Minimalist and appropriately weird music video for some music of David Lynch's band Thought Gang; obviously intended as advertisement for their album and less so as a work of art.
Fire (PoZar) (2020)
Fire, given by a mysterious figure, creates a hole in the world through which something terrible enters and leaves the world burned and overrun by strange insect figures.
Surreal, nightmarish tale of an apocalypse with no shine of hope; a David Lynch miniature masterpiece enhanced by Marek Zebrowski's expressionistic score.
Sam Whiskey (1969)
A widow hires an ex-gambler to retrieve gold bars from a sunken river boat in Colorado and discreetly return them to the Federal Mint, from where they had been stolen by her dead husband.
Good-natured, but sloppily handled Western comedy is mainly focused on its star, but has not much more to offer.
Halliwell (no star): "Easy-going but rather slackly handled Western."
Maltin**: "Modestly mounted, uninteresting Western wasting talents of good cast...For Western aficionados and Reynolds addicts only."

I Am Wrath (2016)
A man is out for justice after a group of corrupt police officers are unable to catch his wife's killer.
Mediocre actioner oscillates as revenge drama, buddy story and political thriller without deciding what it really wants to be; despite the star cast it very much has the feel of an 80s B-movie.
