Saw Movie 43. Some of the greatest crude humor I have ever seen. Horrible linking of story though.

Also saw the Live action Ruroni Kenshin. 1 million out of 10 recommend.

The Signal  8/10

Wow!  A very engaging film, but totally incomprehensible.  It recently hit Redbox.  One of the stranger movies I've seen.  It reminds me of a David Lynch film, except it's more futuristic.  If you're into bizarre, this might be the movie of the decade... if you're into bizarre.  If it's important that a movie makes sense, then skip this one.  I thought it was great fun, but I'd be apprehensive about recommending it to anyone.

I just check the town of Matewan on the map, and the railroad does run through it.  I don't know if it's the mainline, but I imagine all of those old coal mining towns looked the same.

Which The Signal did you watch, the 2007 or the 2014 one?
We just picked up the 2014 one and it is pretty weird, but not incomprehensible.  Kind of vaguely reminded me of Dark City.  I would give the 2014 version a 7/10.  It's a bit slow in places, but weird and interesting.

Riddick 5/10

First part is good but movie is overlong, overhyped and some of the shit is just ridiculous. And the ending is stupid, imho. Good special effects.

Recently re-watched Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Just rolls off the tongue.

Out of all the Godzilla films, this is easily in my top 5. The plot gets a bit silly in a couple places, and a few things won't make sense if you're not familiar with Japanese mythology, but overall it's well-paced and succeeds at building up anticipation for the fight scenes; which are amazing, by the way, best in the franchise in my opinion.

I just saw Hercules, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I'd heard. From what I can tell the main beef must have been that the trailers were misleading about what kind of movie it was...more of a 'man behind the myth' thing than straight up 'mythic adventure' like Immortals or Wrath of the Titans.

Mothra--that jiggled some memories.  That was my daughters favorite movie when she was 4 thru 8 years of age.  Just loved to watch it--and as kids do, over and over again. :)

It was the 2014 one.  You can bet I'll watch it again.  Maybe it will make more sense the second time around, although I wouldn't necessarily be watching it to make more sense out of it.  I just think it's a cool movie.  Dark City is also one of my favorites.  I have that one in my private collection, and I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched it.  Dark City is comprehensible to me, however.  Along those lines, have you seen The Thirteenth Floor?  Another older favorite for me.

Lone Survivor  8/10

But it was tense.  I almost turned it off because I couldn't take any more, and I think my blood pressure was going up.

Yeah--yeah they did.  And the rubber suits drove me nuts.  But my daughter ate it up.

Brick Mansions 3/10

This movie was dedicated to the star, Paul Walker.  I think maybe he's the guy that got killed a few months back in some high speed car accident in a city someplace. 

I think the actors were potentially good, but the script stunk.  The heroes were too fast, too strong, too cool, and too heavy on the macho comments to be anything near realistic.  Considering I mentioned before how much I like the theme where the heroes are almost indestructible, it's odd this fell so short.  It reached too far and came off as written by a jr. high school student.  While the target audience was maybe the late teens and 20 somethings, I think it would probably be more entertaining to 6 and 7 year olds.  I'm serious about that.

And then there was the cat fight scene; One gal in leather, and the other in an outfit vaguely reminiscent of a catholic school girl.  They fight it out with chains and whips, but no skin ever gets shown for fear of shocking the ten and under crowd who wouldn't understand the point of a cat fight in a movie, anyway.  It's kiddie porn at its finest.  I think 3/10 is generous.

Yeah, kids latch on to a theme and can go with it forever sometimes. Mine latched on to saying poopoo.  They still say it to me in their 30s..

Warren Jeffs:  Outlaw Prophet  8/10

Very interesting, and highly disturbing.  You won't fall asleep watching this movie.
