Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (Nathan Juran, 1958)

6/10
Switching gears slightly, this was a pretty fun, pretty silly watch. Although inconsistencies abound and the special effects were, uh, less than good. For a movie made in 1958 it had some interesting things to say (unintentionally) about how others perceive us. The amount of people afraid to say something for fear of being thought of as a nutcase is still around today (arguably more than ever, with mental health becoming an increasingly hot topic), although it doesn't involve 50 foot women.
