Movies are arts, right?
Caught one last week that deserves a look. Love and Monsters.
Movie takes place ten years after a catastrophe that has caused many species to mutate into monsters. Humans have been living in small numbers in scattered underground bunkers, communicating by HAM radio. Protagonist Joel was separated from his high-school sweetheart and ten years later reconnects with her by radio, and finds out she's only 85 miles away in another bunker, so he sets out to find her, despite being completely unqualified to survive in a monster-filled world, and runs into various adventures along the way. This is a comedy that could easily have been quite stupid but managed to be entertaining because of a good script and great acting. Minnow, a little girl Joel meets on the surface, steals the show.
