Gojira -1.0 (2023)
Made to be an Old Classic
Make no mistake, this is a distinctly Japanese movie made for a Japanese audience. This method of storytelling is uncommon to the western movie goer by giving it the energy and pace of a classic novel. Even the cinematography has the visuals of an old book, well worn broken in by decades of love and reverence.
In regards to the Monster itself, Godzilla has returned to its roots. It most terrifying creature on the planet once again. Godzilla's attributes have been dialed back compared to other versions but what it does have has been intensified a hundredfold. The true god-like force it once represented.
This film will take several viewings in order to fully grasp all of the great details and to truly revere the hard work that went it to making it the classic that it will become.
Uncorked (2020)
Phenomenal
Such a great movie. Dynamic in almost every aspect. This film does not shy away from reality in the slightest.
The Willoughbys (2020)
Great little movie, one big stereotype
Loved the animation and the fresh approach to complex family dynamics. Big glaring issue is how the rag on Child Protctive Services in the same old boring trope of souless robots out to sequester children. These people are an integral part to protecting our society's most vulnerable from the very people who should have be providing a loving and caring home but neglect to do so. Hey Netflix, how bout some positive examples for these incredible and hard working heroes next time eh?
