@bez, I'll be curious to see what you think of the Star Trek sequels. I personally love the 3rd one, enjoy the first and dislike the 2nd.

It was definitely a teen comedy road movie which I didn't mention and I think that works to it's favor. But yeah nothing really worked for me, I didn't hate it, it's just not something I'll watch again.

And the last thing I watched this weekend was Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma, a mid 80's OVA that reminded me of Ninja Scroll except more evil fucked up creature design. I loved this, the animation was great, monster/creature design was crazy, they went with hyper vibrant colors for a lot of the creatures which makes everything pop. It was a pleasant surprise and one of those anime's that I just completely missed out on. I recommend checking it out if you are into 80's anime leaning towards the overly violent type.
