I Went Down (1997)
8/10
Incredibly funny & quirky
10 January 1999
If you can get past your fear of hearing the English language with a totally undiluted Irish accent (which you should get used to, if this movie is an indication of things to come), you'll find an odd little gem. Hilarious scenes like the weapon/ski mask scene. Quirky characters leading the charge into unknown situations.

If for no other reason than the scene descriptions, you should see this movie.

or "How to rob a multiplex theater!"
8 January 1999
Shot on video (and a shoestring), the Last Way Out is enjoyable if you can get past the black & white security camera look. A movie about an ex-criminal whose life seems determined to make him return to crime. First financial troubles, then the partners he ditched a few years prior.

Notable for the detailed multiplex robbery plan, and a few other clever scenes.

Not the best "Crime just won't leave me alone" movie I've ever seen, but it's better than many.

Crimewave (1985)
7/10
Sometimes overly cartoony, sometimes hilarious.
15 October 1998
Two contract killers' plans go awry, and they need to cover up their latest hit. At moments the viewer can predict every line, but sometimes this movie is inspired. Even so early in their careers as filmmakers, it highlights the styles of both Raimi and the Coen brothers. Bruce Campbell is hilarious as the way too smooth "Renaldo." The shaving man is awe inspiring. Well worth a rental to true fans of Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi and/or the Coens.
