Rated: 3 / 5 (maybe 3.5 if I was feeling generous) "West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of sunlight. When … Continue reading The Color out of Space (2019) review

Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995)
Rated: 4 / 5 "I've a feeling this is going to be Godzilla's last fight." -- Miki This is it folks. The final film in the Heisei era Godzilla films. And it's currently my favorite Godzilla film ever. Yep, even compared to the original. That being said, my taste in films is a bit simplistic … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995)
Friday the 13th (1980) drunk review
This review is an older one from Letterboxd before they deleted my account. Figure today is as good a day as any to post it. Rated: 2 / 5 Intro I must confess, I've only ever seen 2 Friday the 13th movies. I saw the 1st one a long time ago, when I was, like, … Continue reading Friday the 13th (1980) drunk review
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) and Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994) dual review
Rated: 3 / 5 Ok, so this film grew on me after previous viewings. This is one of the few emotionally charged Godzilla films out there, though you wouldn't know it until the last quarter of the movie. And yes, the emotional factor of baby Godzilla with adult Godzilla got to me a bit on … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) and Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994) dual review
Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So first it starts off as a rip off of the run out of the temple at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, then as a rip off of the bridge scene from Temple of Doom. I was expecting an invisible bridge to come up at some point, but … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review
Rated: 2.5 / 5 The movie begins 1000 days after the events of the previous film (if you don't count the "future" scene). A UFO appears, and Miki (the psychic from the previous film who helped stop Godzilla at one point) helps analyze it by bringing up satellite images to top officials. I know she … Continue reading Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review
Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) review
Well, I said I would eventually track down and watch this little 1990 treasure in my Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: December 1990 post. Time to deliver. Done in honor of a French person who gave me a shoutout on this web page (which I had to use Google Translate to, well, translate): https://www.actualitte.com/article/monde-edition/le-dessin-de-lolicons-desormais-illegal-jusque-dans-le-cadre-prive/43547 Rated: 3 / … Continue reading Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) review
Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Introduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZP7R9yMnrc Beginning my review of the Godzilla heisei series, which I decided out of the blue to start with my review of the Godzilla 1954 and 1985 films in my previous post. While Godzilla 1985 is officially considered a part of the Heisei era (the 80s and 90s Godzilla flicks … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) review
Gojira (1954/1956) and Godzilla 1985 (aka Return of Godzilla) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 (either version, though we all know the Japanese Gojira version is superior) So I grew up with the English VHS version of this film, which has the usual English dub that may or may not be hilarious to listen to. It was several years ago I found out that the American … Continue reading Gojira (1954/1956) and Godzilla 1985 (aka Return of Godzilla) review
In China, Life is Cheap… But Toilet Paper is Expensive
Rated: 2.5 / 5 Honestly, I never thought I'd come upon a news story that would make me think of a movie. A movie with a limited indy release in 1990 titled Life Is Cheap... But Toilet Paper is Expensive. A film that is basically an allegory for how life in China sucks, and how … Continue reading In China, Life is Cheap… But Toilet Paper is Expensive
