In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Monstrum G
The setting is Korea during the early 16th
century. A creature (the eponymously
named) is said to be killing people and causing a plague throughout the land (a
plague that once ravaged the land years before). Many believe it to be mythical, but we and
all the characters learn it to be very real.
We do get to see the creature and, while it’s obviously not practical, I
didn’t hate it, and they do an acceptable job of integrating it fairly
seamlessly amongst the set locations and action sequences (I can forgive CGI
under the right circumstances, even though I will always prefer
practical). It actually managed to hold
your attention during the scenes without the creature as well. While not an excellent film (a moment
involving flatulence wasn’t exactly necessary), I’d say it’s a sufficiently
recommendable historical creature feature.

Bonus reviews:
Deep Blue Sea 3 EH
(haiku review)
Quite lame, long shark flick.
Unnecessary threequel.
First one was the best.

Trolls World Tour OK
(haiku review)
It involves music.
Its message always welcome.
It wears itself thin.
