It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955)
It Came from Beneath the Sea (1955)
1955 | Sci-Fi
Stop-motion monster movie with Ray Harryhausen's special effects. Odd goings-on in the Pacific lead the authorities to suspect a giant radioactive octopus is on the loose. Sure enough the beast is soon dry-humping the Golden Gate Bridge and menacing downtown San Francisco (at least, those parts within tentacle-reach of the seafront).

The bits with the octopus attacking the city are put together with Harryhausen's usual verve and skill, but - as ever - they are mostly confined to the end of the film; the rest of it is rather like a stolid Navy training film entitled 'How to Deal with Giant Octopi': functional but uninspired, and (apart from a sluggish romantic subplot) almost entirely procedural. Hits all the beats of the atomic sea monster subgenre, but doesn't have the sense of fantasy or fun that the best known films of this kind have. Some good stuff but threatens to drag even at less than 80 minutes in length.

Well done!
Good acting, cool cinematography and a fun, entertaining story! The description almost gives away the story. However, it turns out much more intense and action packed than you'd think. The characters were great and the story unfolded beautifully. I'm kind of glad they didn't go the typical "leave-it-open-for-a-sequel" Hollywood ending. If you're into war movies (and/or "monster" movies)you'll enjoy this film. Really worth a watch!

Entertaining Monster Dating Sim
So, I'll preface this by saying that I've never played a dating simulator before but it looked cute and I needed something to waste time on so I purchased it on Steam. The content is pretty original, definitely not kid friendly even though the animation looks as if it would be. The possible endings (but mostly rejections) are incalculable. Enjoying something different.

"A monster of a book, where you get to learn about the world and the people that we are. It is a book that I tried to read several times before finally reading it through, each time wishing I didn’t have a couple of kids on my shoulder or the roaring engine sound of a modern kitchen in my ears. It is simply the perfect book when you have time to really focus and think."
