Summary

As the year starts to wind down, the line-up stays wild and diverse. You want to see the movie that ended the career of Fred Zinneman? It's a Sean Connery film and it's terrrrrrible. How about the movie that ostensibly started the career of James Cameron? It's a sequel and it's also terrrrrrible. We've got lots of awful kids films, including one of Gary Coleman's theatrical features and another rancid Bugs Bunny compilation, and we've got kung-fu comedy and slasher movies and Kristy McNichol and Sting and Cher and Mia Farrow singing.And if that last one didn't scare you... then how about Creepshow? Oh, man... why aren't you already listening?!
