Godzilla (1954)

I honestly don't have anything new to add for a film I've watched dozens of times (the last time only months ago), other than that Criterion's remaster is beautiful and you see lots of little details you never could before.

Ginger Snaps

Suprisingly good and thoughtful for what is more or less an indie horror film about teenage werewolves. Better than The Howling actually, blasphemous as that may seem...

Hollow Man

This movie is better than it's made out to be. Whatever negative attention this film gets I think comes from the film's final 30 min or so where it devolves into standard slasher stuff. Before that, the film is a nice examination of H.G Wells' story with some modern twists. Kudos especially for featuring Kevin Bacon as an unlikable protagonist. It's pretty ballsy for a film to do that.

That being said, the final act IS garbage. There could have a real Brundlefly like moment in there somewhere but Bacon's character is a monster at the end of the film, no pathos and the audience ceases to care one way or another. The female lead isn't given enough character for us to really root for her so by the end of the film it's kind of hard to care about anything. Still, the first two-thirds are great.

Triangle

Netflix instant is acting wonky with this film right now. I've had to stop it a few times because the picture gets all glitchy. I'm about 40 minutes in an the last glitch hasn't been enough for me to call quits on this movie for now. Seems like standard haunted boat-time travel stuff. Not horrible, but not good enough for me to want to finish it.

Akira

A classic through and through. Love this film.

I watched The Invisible Woman (1940) today, it was on TCM today as part of their annual 30 Days of Oscar event.

Nice comedic take on H.G. Wells story and a very entertaining movie. I doubt Hollywood could even do a comedic version of The Invisible Man nowadays that was half as good.

Man on a Ledge

Eh... I won't call it a bad movie, but it's one of those that's just kind of... "there." Something that was made to fill a release date slot. I actually enjoyed watching it, but forgot that I had gone to see it a couple hours after.

My biggest memory/gripe was the, "Cut the red wire." line. I nearly burst laughing when the inevitable, "They're all red." was the reply. I can't believe any film in the year 2012 is still using that one.

I just watched the restored "Fistful of Dynamite (aka Duck, You Sucker)....truly an underrated, under-appreciated gem and a classic spaghetti western from Sergio Leone , and imo, it's up there with his Eastwood trilogy films (Fistful Of Dollars/A Few Dollars More/The Good,the Bad, The Ugly) and Once Upon a Time in the West...
