I recently watched You Were My Friend on YouTube, and was surprised as to how good it was for the small budget and time constraints it has. The short pays homage to the 2012 film VHS no doubt with a similar style and ideas, and it definitely fits the tone. The performances are all very realistic and good, with standouts being Aidan Taylor and Nathan Crook. With them being a part of the center piece of the story, which might I add, is very clever and above all, scary! The editing and directing too was very well done. I cannot find much flaws with it, it did its job to its full potential, and I cannot wait for a potential follow up! I would definitely watch this again, and do recommend it!

I saw this movie at an advanced screening with no subtitles, which will not have any effect on my review as you can pick up on the dialogue even without subtitles. Godzilla. By far the best part was Godzilla (Despite having little screen-time), his design was creepy and paid massive homage to the original. His powers and tricks were updated to make it feel fresh. There just wasn't enough of him in the movie to get me to love the film. The movie has a very bogged down feel to it, which is the fault of the writers. It feels very claustrophobic due to 70% of the film being inside a room or building (That really got to me). Also the acting was very sub-par and didn't feel real or even comical. It also ends very... strangely is how I'll put it. I had fun with this movie and I'd see it again for the Godzilla scenes. If you're a G fan then go see it, if not then don't bother. 6/10

First of all, I was a humongous fan of this show, having been a long time viewer since 2009. And when, in 2014, Ray Johnson retired as host I was upset yet optimistic to see what direction the show could go under a new host. Robbie Motz got cast and he was good. A good fit for Ray, with charm, humour and likability. Then HE retired as host. Along comes Kaja Martin. In her many episodes, I can't recall ever laughing as the shows concept and fun and charm was being sucked out and replaced with some of the worst humour put into the show. I stopped watching until she stepped down. Then Carlos came. This guy is just as bad, awkward, uncharismatic and really boring. He adds nothing new and just doesn't look into it. There hasn't been a funny episode since 2014, in fact I recommend watching before 2014 to appreciate what this show once was. It's terrible now, but it gets a 3 for Motz's episodes.
