Atragon (1963) pivots from monsters towards Brian Duffield

Mothra Wormholed its way to Upsilon Andromedae B

Human life is too short to watch every single movie about monster. There is enough time to put aside for the classics, such as Mothra. Being born after the great sensation that was Gojira it steers away from what is to be expected for a monster movie, towards the line of a detective story. Mothra, more than anything, is a symbol of resistance in the world that is defiled not so much by nuclear, but by human waste.

Rodan (1956) jetted its way to Alpha Centauri.

How hard is it to make a spiritual successor to one for one the most iconic stories in cinema history? One thing is certain, once the image is formed of what that franchise is about, it is difficult to divert from it. Rodan tries the difficult task of both appeasing the general audience, who want a movie about giant monsters wrecking the city and not to retell the same exact story, while keeping it in line with viewer expectations. The truth is told in this tad bit ambitious review of RODAN.

Godzilla (1954) is a choir of destruction and loss

What can be said about Godzilla? It is an icon to name icons. Looking at IMDb, it is unfortunate, although expected, to find 2014 release of Godzilla has 10 times as much ratings as the original 1954 version. Even though some scenes do look pretty goofy, a lot of love was undoubtedly put into it. That love is not always felt when viewing with modern sensibilities. I attempt to remedy the poignant feeling by calculated and logical reasoning and arguments... or more so my own acuity of the work.
