I say we feed it Father Potts. Unless it eats shit, it'll choke to death.

Following the Halloween tradition, we watch a new horror every year on Halloween.  This year, my mom pick the movie.  It's called Grabbers.  Here is the synopsis and a trailer... 

Peace officer Lisa Nolan comes to Erin Island, Ireland, to take charge during a colleague's two-week holiday. Simultaneously, blood-thirsty, sea-dwelling aliens arrive at the quiet island to propagate. As dead whales wash up on shore and people start mysteriously disappearing, officers and a few locals slowly discover their peril along with one sure defense - high blood alcohol levels, which the aliens can't stomach. As a storm approaches, enabling hungry hatchlings access to the locals, an open bar kicks off a desperate bid for survival as inebriated police and friends stagger to remain cognizant long enough to thwart the alien invasion.

Care for a sip? 

The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in their control and not the other way around. Godzilla doesn't care..

So, I got talked in to see the latest update of Godzilla Saturday. My littler bro has been a huge Godzilla fan since he was... 6?  24 year a fan of the big green guy, stuck through it even with the horrid 1998 version.  He been talking about it since the first trailer aired  in 2012.

Anyway, I tagged along and here's my thoughts on how the big guys up date was.


HERE BE MONST...... er... SPOILERS.

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!

So, I got Inky Frankenstein's Army for her birthday, and we watched this weekend.  I had show her the trailer when I stumbled upon it some time last year, and she was immediately intrigued. I can see why, the monster design in it is VERY reminiscent of  the Bioshock trilogy (her favorite game), some of Broms work, and steampunk meets Evil Dead. Which is a really good sum  up of the movie. 

Here is the synopsis from the official website

Pacific Rim Review

So, this past weekend, I took my best bud and siblings out to see "Pacific Rim".
Early birthday present for him, and probably the only chance my brother was going to see it before it got yanked from theaters due to just not being that big a hit..  I wasn't as eager to see it as say, LOTR, or as eager as I am to see "The Conjuring", but hey, it's Guillermo del Toro!

Here is the official synopsis

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes - a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) - who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

 Quick back story...  I've LOVED Guillermo del Toro work since I saw "Hellboy". I knew the instant I saw the previews for "Hellboy" back in 2004 I would love it. KNEW IT. It's just the perfect little movie for me. Since then, I've been checking out del Toro's work whenever I the chance. "Devil's Backbone" was a weird little ghost story, "Pan's Labyrinth" had me sobbing my eyes out by the end. "Mimic" was............... not great. Not bad, just not great. "Hellboy: The Golden Army" was good (not as good as the first one, but I still have a soft spot for old Red and gang).  Anyway.
