It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.

Today's movie was: All Monsters Attack / ゴジラ・ミニラ・ガバラ オール怪獣大進撃 (1969)

A #film that subverts all tropes in the kaiju "genre", offering a whimsical adventure through the eyes of a bullied child. Ishirō Honda and Shinichi Sekizawa achieved what at that point was believed to be impossible: offer a fresh take.

I give it 3½/5 Kaiju

It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.

Today's movie was: Destroy All Monsters / 怪獣総進撃 (1968)

They decided to go all out with this #film, bringing not only every previous kaiju in a surprisingly coherent story, but going above and beyond with a #scifi plot that even involves space traveling. A solid entry in a mostly disappointing decade.

I give it 3½/5 Kaiju

It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day.

Today's movie was: Invasion of Astro-Monster / 怪獣大戦争 (1965)

The first #film in the showa era that succeeds at combining #scifi with big monsters — no offense to The Mysterians (1957). I didn't expect this one to be anything more than a big crossover event, specially after the last entry, but it was great!

I give it 4/5 Kaiju

Today's movie was: Matango / マタンゴ (1963)

A pleasant surprise after the disappointing — and racist — King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962). #Toho abandons the giant monster formula and the result is a brilliant, intimate, classic #horror ensemble #film. It's already one of my all time favorite horror movies.

I give it 4½/5 Kaiju

Today's movie was: Mothra / モスラ (1961)

An outstanding return to form for the kaiju genre. #Toho started the 60s with a bang, redeeming themselves for Varan's (1958) fiasco! From story to visual effects, Mothra was their most ambitious #film to that point, even rivaling #Godzilla (1954) for the top spot.

I give it 4/5 Kaiju

Today's movie was: Godzilla / ゴジラ (1954)

I didn't expect this #film to be as well-written as it was. All I expected was "big mad dinosaur destroys Tokyo", I got that and so much more!

From military worship to the consequences of scientific progress, this movie has it all.

I give it 4/5 Kaiju

Another week, another batch of #movies that I get to watch. It was a complicated week; I watched two of the "greatest" #film of all time, and yet, they didn't do it for me. I'm sleeping on it before I start trashing them...

One #movie that I did enjoy was The Usual Suspects. It's a great #thriller. Even if part of the plot is not difficult to decipher.

Another week gone, another batch of movies I got to watch; only one truly great tho:

The Truman Show

Watching this #movie and discovering what was going on as Truman did so was a mind-blowing experience. I could not put into words what this movie is really about even if I tried. Is it about ethics in the arts? Is it about child abuse? Is it about power dynamics? Is it about the seemingly infinite power of American corporations? I don't fuckin' know.

Just had the random urge to re-watch 'War of the Worlds' (2005) just to see that there will be a 2025 'War of the Worlds' movie?
Gotta have a look at that one 👀

Attached: 1 image It's #Kaijuktober! And to celebrate it I'm watching a #kaiju #movie every day. Today's movie was: Son of Godzilla / 怪獣島の決戦 ゴジラの息子 (1967) When I said I hoped the #film was about the hardships of raising a child in a post-nuclear world I wasn't being serious, but Jun Fukuda certainly thought Id' be a good idea. Convoluted and unimpressive, but way too funny to ignore. Son of Godzilla is the kind of bad movie worth a watch. I give it 3/5 Kaiju 🦖🦖🦖❌❌ #movies #cinema #cinemastodon #KFF #怪獣

Tomorrow I'll be watching All Monsters Attack / ゴジラ・ミニラ・ガバラ オール怪獣大進撃 (1969). Hoping for it to be at least as entertaining as Destroy All Monsters (1968) was.

Here's the schedule for the rest of the week:
