  Hooptober 2019: Bonus film #7

  Carburators, man! That's what life is all about.

  The best adaptation of Phantom of the Opera.
  The best adaptation of Faust.
  The best horror musical.
  The second best Jessica Harper picture in which the main villain is stabbed with a piece of a bird.

  Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II 1993

  ★★★½ Watched 07 May 2019 3

  That title is just lazy, they could've called this Godzilla, Rodan and Super-Mechagodzilla: Giant Monster All-Out Custody Battle.

  An action film starring Richard Ng

  Three Sammos for the price of one! Lots of questionable comedy filtered through incomprehensible subtitles, but of course the fight scenes are top-notch.

  Rocketman 2019

  ★★★★ Watched 29 May 2019 9

  I liked the part where Elton John turns into a rocket and explodes. Most biopics would have skipped that historical event.

  The Man Who Knew Too Much 1956

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 07 Jun 2019 2

  If you ever get hungry, our garden back home is full of snails. We tried everything to get rid of them. We never thought of a Frenchman!

  Jimmy Stewart's just a massive dork in this, he gets outsmarted by a couch, a loaf of bread and a roasted chicken, all in the same scene. Later he gets bitten by a stuffed tiger.
