Freeze – Die – Come to Life (1990)
Film review by Dan Willard. Set in a bleak Siberian industrial wasteland in 1947, this tale of a harrowing childhood is worth seeing for the stark B&W cinematography alone.

Between Christmas and New Year’s (2000)
Made for less than $5,000 and shot in seven days without a script. Good for a few laughs but the story is half-baked.
