Comin' At Ya!

Sorry the posts here haven't been as frequent, but lately (the past 42 years actually) I haven't been doing anything interesting.  I went and bought a pile of movies for myself online.  I did an order from Hong Kong which should be in by the end of week next, but in the mean time I got two movies that I ordered from Amazon.

First up, who the hell delivers the Amazon packages?  I'm pretty sure it's not Canada Post.  Cody ordered stuff from there for his new computer and some random guy delivers it to the house where I have to sign for it on his iPhone screen.  I actually signed "Cody Brown" just because when he asked if I was Cody Brown I said yes, so I had to keep the charade going.  When my movies came, the doorbell rang and it was after 6pm and I open the door and nobody is there, but a car is pulling out of the parking lot.  I look in mailbox and my movies are in there.  Amazon must use some weird delivery company.

Anyway, the package has these movies in it...


I've had that Mosquito movie on my Amazon wishlist forever and finally pulled the trigger on it.  Can't wait to watch it, but I may put it on hold at least until October when I start to watch the horror movies in my "to watch" pile.

We did watch Comin' At Ya! which is a 3D western from 1981.  I actually thought it was from the 70's, but IMDB says I'm wrong.  I bought it just because it was an older 3D movie and those are harder to find.  The 3D is all straight up gimmicky 3D shots with lots stuff being shoved in the camera like, guns, knives, falling coins and a baby's ass!  I really could've gone without the last one.  But I guess stuff like darts and spears flying at you is why the movie is called Comin' At Ya!  I don't mind some gimmicky 3D shots, but they do over do a bit here and it's straining on your poor eyeballs.

The movie wasn't bad, it had some funny parts in it (some unintentional) and I did like how they mixed B&W footage in with color footage and the inventive opening credits sequence, overall it was a fun watch.
