Review – Quicksilver Highway

This is actually two short films bracketed by vignettes that feature Christopher Lloyd dressed as an aging leather enthusiast (honestly, he looks like an extra from one of the sex parties in Scandal).

Hey, at least I got a film beginning with Q, helping complete my quest to see at least one movie for each letter of the alphabet within a single calendar year. See if desperate
