  Gamera: Super Monster 1980

  ★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  So it's come to this: a Gamera clipshow.

  (The movie is just reused footage from the previous films with a flimsy framing device. Lots of giant fire breathing space turtle action for your buck, but nothing new).

  12 Years a Slave 2013

  ★★★½ Rewatched 11 Mar 2025

  Harrowing in the right ways, but it's so distracting having Brad Pitt pop up.

  The less you know, the more you'll get on a first watch of this.

  The Fly 1986

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 17 Jan 2024

  "You only know society's straight line about the flesh."

  Cronenburg at the absolute apex of his powers, with a stellar cast and effects team to back him up.

  Mad folks think Stathis is the hero by the end - an odious wretch in spirit, if not the flesh.
