Agreed! I had high hopes based on the trailer and it delivered. Now I just want to crank up some Bikini Kill.

Granted, I was double/triple screening throughout the entire movie so missed some key "plot" points.

But this is a big, dumb movie.
If that's you're thing, you should love it.

It's a movie about a giant lizard and a giant monkey, My expectations are real low but I still plan to watch it later off Redbox.

But the genre can be done well.
Looking at you Pacific Rim.

Ok I caved and added HBO Max and watched Godzilla V Kong. I must admit that the movie was pretty good. I can't give away spoilers but as a Godzilla fan toward the end of the movie I was stoked just for the way the last fight scene went down.

Argh! I really can't say what I want to say but the second half of the movie is good, action wise.

Been awhile since I've seen Kung Fu Hustle, so was due for a rewatch.
Such a good movie.

I just watched the trailer and now I have to watch this movie.

I'm watching Mortal Kombat now on HBO Max.

I don't know why but I like this movie from 1964 called "Code 7, Victim 5". It's an action/suspense style "want to be". I've watched it a few times over the years. It's a nice popcorn action movie from for the time period it is from. For those interested it is on Amazon Prime for free.

Here is another movie I've watched a time or two. To be honest I watch it for Jill St. John. I will watch almost any movie with her in it. I've always had a thing for her since I was a kid and saw her in "Diamonds are Forever" on the ABC Sunday night movie. She is sexy, cool, and super smart. She has an I.Q. of 162. Or at least she did back in the day. ;)



This one is a double whammy with Jill St. John and Nancy Kwan. Yes I like older movies for fun. The only decade of movies I will not watch, with a few exceptions, is the 1970's. Just an awful decade for movies. Yes I did say there were exceptions.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines on Netflix was hilarious and sweet. A Siri-like AI becomes sentient and tries to rid Earth of humans. One family manages to escape detection when robots round up everyone and it's on them to save humanity.

You folks know it will May the Fourth tomorrow.

I think I will watch Star Wars tonight and finish with Empire Strikes Back tomorrow. I will not watch Return of the Jedi because of Ewoks.

I watched Tom Clancy's Without Remorse and it was pretty good.

As a side note I was able to spot the main character wearing a Casio GW-7900B.
