    Monster a Go-Go!  (1965)

    This movie has about five minutes of pure awesomeness in the form of a go-go party and a make-out session, but the rest of it is completely incoherent and virtually unwatchable. Although, actually I watched the whole thing just to see how this ludicrous mess ended up. So, there's something kind of fascinating about how mind-bogglingly inept this entire production is.

    However, I am absolutely convinced that the "Dr. Logan" in this film is the same "Logan" from George Romero's Day of the Dead, complete with the same philosophy about trying to train a monster.

    Also, the non-sequiter car stalling scene is kind of priceless.


  • Fairly tense thriller

    Vacancy  (2007)

    Vacancy starts out kind of sluggishly and uninterestingly. The opening scenes with Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale in the car features fairly pedestrian dialogue and a cliche set-up that eventually leads them to the murder motel. It all feels kind of padded to make the film come up to a feature-length runtime.

    But once the unhappy couple gets stuck in their room and are hunted by the killers, the action becomes pretty intense. There's not much to get invested in these characters on an emotional level, but at least the cat-and-mouse game becomes fun to watch.

    Doesn't nearly live up to the premise, but it's not a total wreck of a film either.
