My Thoughts:
Going into this one I couldn't remember if I ever seen it before or not. The trailer looked vaguely familiar but I didn't know if I was remembering the movie or just seeing the trailer before. After watching it I realize this is my first time seeing it. While it is not a bad movie... I found it... well I don't want to say slow. It just didn't keep my attention as much as I would have hoped. But it is a decent enough movie. And considering I got it in a 2 movie set along with Hook for only $6 I really can't complain at all... it is definitely worth the time and money I put into it.

Gamera vs. Viras, a review by Danae Cassandra

Year of Release: 1968
Starring: Noriaki Yuasa
Directed By: Kojiro Hongo, Michiko Yaegaki, Mari Atsumi, Junko Yashiro
Genre: Science-Fiction, Disaster, Tokusatsu, Kaiju

Overview:
The reign of terror continues when aliens take two boy scouts hostage to blackmail Gamera into aiding their invasion of Earth. When that plan fails the giant alien leader Viras battles the flying turtle in a duel to the death.

My Thoughts:
Space Monster Viras makes their appearance! They have come to conquer Earth and destroy humanity! Only our great protector Gamera stands against them! They have found out Gamera's love for children though, and will use it against him!

While the bee design spaceships are neat, and there are some good ideas here, they're not followed through with. Too much footage from the previous Gamera films and the absurd squid-style design of Viras cause the film to be rather flat. The kids can get annoying, but they're far from the worst in these films.

Bechdel Test: Fail

Overall: 2.5/5

Plot:Misfits
Season 3.08 Episode 8
Writer: Howard Overman (Writer), Howard Overman (Created By)
Director: Jonathan van Tulleken
Cast: Joseph Gilgun (Rudy), Iwan Rheon (Simon), Lauren Socha (Kelly), Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Curtis), Antonia Thomas (Alisha), Robert Sheehan (Nathan), Matthew McNulty (Seth), Alex Reid (Sally), Jessica Brown Findlay (Rachel), Danny Sapani (Tony), Mark Heap (Jonas), Charlotte McDougall (Woman), Matthew Steer (James)

Not really the final episode of the series, but the last episode of the set I have. I plan to buy the rest also, but I feel that this episode works well for as a finale for the series. Especially as it is the last episode of most of the original main cast.
Thankfully we got some closure for these characters and I am happy that the storyline with Simon and Alisha came full circle.
So far, my favorite series is the second one, closely followed by the third.
