This is a cute little mystery about an ex-pop star who has been dumped by her fiance and had her money stolen from her. That actually intrigued me more than the mystery. I've always wondered what happens to these kids who have spent there formative years entertaining others.
The mystery is these girls have died on the elevator and the deaths are written off as "elevator-surfing".

The mystery is pretty easy to figure out and the jokes are a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the characters and it's a quick, breezy read.

Unexpectedly it's a Michael Bay film with heart and a plot...and it's riveting, focused and engrossing story of special Ops defending a base from overwhelming odds in Libya.
The action is hyper realistic as last minute decisions are being made which If incorrect could have resulted in more deaths than there were.
Effects are on point and as expected from Bay explosions lead the way, but this time not at the expense of the storyline.
I expect Michael Bay had to throttle back his usual enthusiasm so that this true story wasnt suffocated and he does uncharacteristically fine job.

"To be found in the When Horror Came to Shochiku set from Eclipse, Horishi Matsuno’s engagingly demented Japanese picture jumbles gruesome crime, supernatural vengeance, psychic twins, mad science, and strange sea story—it may never settle on a tone, but its unpredictability is compelling. Haunted by her twin sister, who was murdered during a pirate attack, Saeko is mentored by a priest whose cool sunglasses conceal an evil secret identity and scars. Other pirate victims appear as living skeletons who inhabit a wreck and bring about the deaths of their murderers, and there’s also a mad scientist with vampire tendencies in the mix."

A group of spelunkers are brought into help scientists map a cave system.

The buff cavers and token girl caver arrive and off they go. After finding the remains of a previous caver and a mosaic showing knights vs winged monsters they head off into the cave

The next hour is a lot of swimming, climbing and mauling.

Fun monster film with lots of cool sets.
