Rated: 2.5 / 5 The movie begins 1000 days after the events of the previous film (if you don't count the "future" scene). A UFO appears, and Miki (the psychic from the previous film who helped stop Godzilla at one point) helps analyze it by bringing up satellite images to top officials. I know she … Continue reading Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review

Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) review
Well, I said I would eventually track down and watch this little 1990 treasure in my Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: December 1990 post. Time to deliver. Done in honor of a French person who gave me a shoutout on this web page (which I had to use Google Translate to, well, translate): https://www.actualitte.com/article/monde-edition/le-dessin-de-lolicons-desormais-illegal-jusque-dans-le-cadre-prive/43547 Rated: 3 / … Continue reading Cyrano de Bergerac (1990) review
Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Introduction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZP7R9yMnrc Beginning my review of the Godzilla heisei series, which I decided out of the blue to start with my review of the Godzilla 1954 and 1985 films in my previous post. While Godzilla 1985 is officially considered a part of the Heisei era (the 80s and 90s Godzilla flicks … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) review
Gojira (1954/1956) and Godzilla 1985 (aka Return of Godzilla) review
Rated: 3.5 / 5 (either version, though we all know the Japanese Gojira version is superior) So I grew up with the English VHS version of this film, which has the usual English dub that may or may not be hilarious to listen to. It was several years ago I found out that the American … Continue reading Gojira (1954/1956) and Godzilla 1985 (aka Return of Godzilla) review
In China, Life is Cheap… But Toilet Paper is Expensive
Rated: 2.5 / 5 Honestly, I never thought I'd come upon a news story that would make me think of a movie. A movie with a limited indy release in 1990 titled Life Is Cheap... But Toilet Paper is Expensive. A film that is basically an allegory for how life in China sucks, and how … Continue reading In China, Life is Cheap… But Toilet Paper is Expensive

Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) review
Get ready everybody, because this is one of those reviews where I become completely unhinged and truly live up to my politically incorrect label. I must bring balance to the force (and will likely do so again whenever I get around to reviewing Disney Star Wars IX: The Disney Hard-On). Rated: 3.5 / 5 I'm … Continue reading Godzilla (2014) and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) review
The International (2009) and its relevance
Rated: 3.5 / 5 Made after the 2008 housing market crash, this is a film that hasn't lost a single ounce of relevance. It's a corporate thriller about a corrupt bank, and the efforts to expose the corruption and put those who are responsible in prison. Problem is, any potential witness, and potential whistle-blower, gets … Continue reading The International (2009) and its relevance
Eye in the Sky (2015) review
Rated: 3 / 5 This is an old review from letterboxd (before my account was deleted). "Never tell a soldier he doesn't understand the casualties of war." Honestly, I thought that quote was more fitting than the one they used at the start of the movie: "In war, truth is the first casualty." Was looking … Continue reading Eye in the Sky (2015) review
Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: 1990 in review
When I first started this little nostalgia trip endeavor, I wasn't thinking too seriously about it. My intention was to prove to myself (and anyone else who was curious) that the 90s was an overall better decade in the entertainment industry than the 2010s are (or were, in the present-tense). After going through each month … Continue reading Entertainment Industry Nostalgia: 1990 in review
