July's Baker's Dozen

Not sure how but despite vacationing for a week I somehow managed to squeeze in a baker's dozen of flicks in July, including three in an actual theater!

GONE WITH THE POPE was definitely the jaw-dropping highlight of the month – and probably the year depending on what happens at Exhumed. Still, the only things from my list I wouldn't recommend would be ANGELS & DEMONS (which made DA VINCI CODE seem zippy and fast-paced) and THE GREEN MONSTER (a bad sov horror flick that probably started out as a neo-MOTEL HELL but digressed into something else). I'd even grudgingly recommend METAMORPHOSIS if only for Christopher Lambert's over-the-top turn as a newly minted vampire.

Highly Recommended
