So, in 1993, Steven Spielberg would unleash the definitive dinosaur film (at least to this day) into the cinemas. A film that would set the standard for CG effects, a good portion of which are still effective to this day. Something everyone anticipated to be so big, Roger Corman funded a Jurassic Park knockoff that … Continue reading Why Jurassic Park is the Greatest Film of All Time

Closet Land (1991), and regarding interrogation films.
Rated: 2.5 / 5 Introduction So this is what I call an interrogation film. Films primarily about one, maybe two people trying to get information out of someone, and spending most of the film trying to do that. It's primarily courtroom dramas that are composed of this, with two lawyers (the prosecution and the defense) … Continue reading Closet Land (1991), and regarding interrogation films.
The Color out of Space (2019) review
Rated: 3 / 5 (maybe 3.5 if I was feeling generous) "West of Arkham the hills rise wild, and there are valleys with deep woods that no axe has ever cut. There are dark narrow glens where the trees slope fantastically, and where thin brooklets trickle without ever having caught the glint of sunlight. When … Continue reading The Color out of Space (2019) review
Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995)
Rated: 4 / 5 "I've a feeling this is going to be Godzilla's last fight." -- Miki This is it folks. The final film in the Heisei era Godzilla films. And it's currently my favorite Godzilla film ever. Yep, even compared to the original. That being said, my taste in films is a bit simplistic … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) and Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994) dual review
Rated: 3 / 5 Ok, so this film grew on me after previous viewings. This is one of the few emotionally charged Godzilla films out there, though you wouldn't know it until the last quarter of the movie. And yes, the emotional factor of baby Godzilla with adult Godzilla got to me a bit on … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) and Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994) dual review
Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
Rated: 2.5 / 5 So first it starts off as a rip off of the run out of the temple at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark, then as a rip off of the bridge scene from Temple of Doom. I was expecting an invisible bridge to come up at some point, but … Continue reading Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) review
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
