"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. Psalm 23."
"We're on a highway to Hell. AC/DC. 1980."

Gordon (Mark Redfield) has had better days. In the space of a few hours, the aspiring artist was fired, dumped by his wife, and evicted. As he drives towards an uncertain future, Gordon swerves out of the way to avoid careening into a pair of kids, plunging off a bridge and into Purgatory. Surrounded by a small army of trigger-happy hostiles, Gordon is rescued by a ragtag band of fighters whose heroic sacrifices stranded them in this netherworld. Among them are the devoutly religious soldier Nimbus, fighter pilot Tomasawa, British fire fighter Charlie Roadtrap, and gunslinger Jake.

Golfballs!

Highly Recommended

If originality were par, Golfballs! (1999, 87 minutes) would be doomed before even leaving the clubhouse. But its cast and crew's sheer will to entertain -- at any cost -- produces more than enough juvenile giggles to prove the flick worthwhile. Penthouse Pet Amy Lynn Baxter doesn't hurt either. At the time she made this picture in sunny Florida, Amy was a frequent guest of admirer and radio horndog Howard Stern, while more recently, the can-tastic actress has been seen peddling penis pills on late-night TV. CineSchlockers are encouraged to make up their own jokes here.

The movie: It's a mighty familiar story. A mean-nasty Greedy Gus (Dan Barkley) can't be content with his ...Read the entire review
