Race with the Devil (1975) - Newspaper Ad [Oakland Tribune - August 26, 1975]

Race with the Devil offered one of the more memorable big screen movie attending experience of my youth. An energetic melding of Deliverance with 70s era cult conspiracy paranoia, Race with the Devil is as an exciting and entertaining ride.

Child's Play 3 (1991) - Newspaper Ad [San Francisco Examiner]

August 25, 1991
While Child's Play 2 was a zesty surprise, Child's Play 3 was not. Screenwriter Don Macini has said in interviews that this film suffered from being rushed into production and slapped together, rather than be given the needed creative time to develop into something that could justify its own existence.

That was not to be, though. While somewhat entertaining, Child's Play 3 still looks and feels like the generic paint-by-the-numbers quickie sequel that, at its heart, it is. The noticeable and undeniable step down in quality from Child's Play 2 caused the movie to underperform at the box office and the burgeoning franchise went on a brief hiatus.
