10 Movies Available on Hoopla:
Nicolas Cage-O-Rama-A-Thon
As I have been going through Hoopla’s movie library, the one constant I keep seeing is Nicolas Cage’s face on movie after movie, either in close-up or with an explosion behind him, sometimes both. It made me wonder, “Is there an all Nicolas Cage 10 movie list available on Hoopla?” Yes, my friends. Yes, there is.

The Crow- 1994- Classic comic book adaptation about avenging angel Eric Draven. A comic adaptation with muscle. With Brandon Lee. The first of the not-so-great sequels is also available.

Chelsea Quinn Yarbro- An amazingly prolific author, Yarbro began with the first of the Charles Spotted mystery series, Ogilvie, Tallant & Moon in 1976. She has written numerous series including historical mystery/ghost (Chesterton Holte, Gentleman Haunt series), western (Jason Russell series), historical horror (The Saint-Germain Cycle), fantasy (book 2 in the Merchant Prince series) science-fiction (book four in the Crisis of Empire series) and dozens of novels and short stories, written under her own and various pen names. In 2009 she won the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement. For me, I became acquainted with Yarbro’s work with her 1980 novelization for the 1981 zombie thriller Dead & Buried.
10 Movies Available on Hoopla Part V:
A New Beginning
The Stranger’s Gundown- 1974- Confederate officers who betrayed their company receive a fistful of justice as meted out by the ghost-like Django. Stars Anthony Steffen as Django, one of my favorite Euro Western stars.
10 Movies available on Hoopla III: The Domination
Rabid- 2019- The gruesome horror thriller remake of David Cronenberg's horror classic about a vampire virus during Christmas from the Soska Sisters. (Cronenberg’s 1977 original is also available.)
Joe Lansdale- With his distinctive East Texan knack for storytelling, once you start a Lansdale book you suddenly realize you forgot to pick the kids up from school because you lost track of time, so engrossed in the story Joe is telling. For decades Lansdale has been producing some of the finest fiction, writing in the mystery, crime, horror, science-fiction and western genres, and always with a wicked sense of humor. His stories have been adapted into comics, TV and films. His work served as the basis for the Hap and Leonard series (2016 – 2018) as well as the films Bubba Ho-Tep (2002) and Cold in July (2014).
