GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA (2002, Masaaki Tezuka): Essentially a feature-length episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion. A high point for the Millennium Era.

Threw on Now You See Me. Saw this in theaters in 2013, hated it then. But every so often, I get the masochistic urge to revisit it, and then I follow through on that decision. The most compulsively watchable movie I don’t even like. How did they ever pull that off.

When I was in high school, my film studies teacher said he hated Total Recall (1990) because it had “terrible continuity errors.” The lesson I took is you gotta learn to leave that shit behind.

I was also critical of the score in my LB blurb, but need to clarify that does not apply to this sequence here. (It’s mostly first hour stuff.)
