I took a break from the main horror genre and watched Pacific Rim in 3D last night. If you like the old Japanese robot cartoons (voltron, robotech etc) or Cloverfield you will like this movie! What is really cool is that GDT definitely put his stamp on this!
Ha! My review below. I didn't think there was ENOUGH GDT in it. LOL. Still loved it!

How most of us would fare in a Horror movie situation. (I hope)
Funny, but true!

18, House of Thousand Corpses, Rob Zombie, 2003 IFCHD, I believe this movie does get better with multiple viewings and this is my favorite (so far) RZ movie. Most here have seen it so I will describe my best parts of the film. First the whole beginning is hilarious, between Capt. Spaulding saying "F*** me side Sally!" to him messing with the failed robbers and college kids. Of course I like 'Baby' in those chaps, but she was the most sinister (that laugh) in the beginning of this film. Second I loved the last part when we get to see Dr. Satan and that Red Juggernaut dude in the tunnel, some pretty cool make up and set design for that part of the movie. All in all this is 100% Rob Zombie and he slathers on all the Horror all the way up until the end.

Nice review. Been a long time, may have to check this out soon.
Last night had to pop in -
19-PACIFIC RIM – 2013 FTV. I could see this being a divisive movie. In some ways it reminds me of Prometheus with some quirks and, potentially, fatal flaws. But, if you can set those aside and channel your inner twelve year old, it is a really fun ride.
Some aspects reminded me of Joss Whedon with Serenity/Avengers and some Abrams with Super 8 and Star Trek. I was hoping for more of the creepiness of GDT but not as much of a horror aspect as I would like. Some really good casting choices and a few I definitely would not have made, but overall, a really good cast. Idris Elba was excellent! This would have been an enjoyable flic with just average fight scenes. Fortunately, these are not average!
Best robot/monster fight scenes EVER. The sheer size and power of the fighters is really shown well. Again, best I have ever experienced. You really BELIEVE these things are effin HUGE. IMO, the audio was not nearly as powerful as it could have been, but I can’t nit pick because the fights were so good.
This movie has-
Big ass robots fighting big ass monsters
Bad ass jockeys fighting bad ass jockeys
Annoying scientists, like Prometheus
Apparently no anti aircraft missiles,
Apparently no fighter planes that carry missiles,
Apparently no warships that carry missiles,
Apparently no submarines that carry missiles
Big ass robots fighting big ass monsters!
Postponement of the apocalypse
