Pathfinder
Pathfinder was exceptionally disappointing because it was supposed to be a graphic novel film. Note to film makers, frame the shot just like the picture in the graphic novel. Don't use the steady cam shot. Not even in "emotion scenes".
Hot Fuzz was good
There was no way the guys from Shaun of the Dead were going to have the kind of big success and surprising charm the second time around. "Hot Fuzz" is no "Shaun of the Dead."
The over arching story is more preposterous than the dead coming back en masse. The best cop in England is getting sent to the quietest suburb because he's showing everyone in the big city up. It is tough to see Shaun from the appliance store as the toughest cop in all of England, but he does a good job of playing the part.
I loved the sudden couple of moments of gore in an otherwise gore-free movie and story-line. I want people to see this film unprejudiced, so will simply say it was not as good as Shaun of the Dead, but it was very enjoyable to watch the battle against the suburban archetypes towards the end of the film.

Godzilla vs Rocky
I watched the high def version of "Godzilla the final battle" and it devolved into a Matrix-like battle between two guys in jump suits. I realize the Matrix stole its fight style from Asain film, so it was supposed to be ironic.
I wish I could post more about the movies I watch.
Godzilla was a mess, the movie was a mess. The film tried to modernize Godzilla the way the American Pepsi commercial tried to a few summers ago. I turned it off after twenty minutes.
