I haven’t particularly keen for any of the American Godzilla movies. Each one thus far has felt like a course correction, as if the producers were trying to right a giant ship (the 1998 movie, which I’m not including, was akin to the Titanic, so there’s that) instead of producing the type of movie the […]
Which I mention because after 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story I thought that the mediocre experience Edwards seemingly had making the movie drove him from Hollywood all together. It wouldn’t be the first time. Stephen Norrington quit movie making after the terrible time he had directing 2003’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Apparently […]
I like this trailer a lot though what’s most interesting (at least to me) is that it reminded me of Gareth Edwards’ Monsters except unlike in the case of that movie stuff seems to actually happen. Story-wise it looks like some sort of alien consciousness has arrived on Earth, with it’s presence seeming changing the […]
I’m in the process of editing my review of ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS Story so check back for the full version! Though I have to say that I really did not like this movie. Say what you will about the prequels, at least they felt like Star Wars movies. Rogue One? Maybe the last […]
Does the image to the left remind anyone else of the scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind when the alien mothership hovers over Devil’s Tower? That’s the first thing that came to mind when I saw this image from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The other thing was that, if I’m lucky, […]
Independence Day isn’t the only movie that’s enjoyed a ‘resurgence’ as of late. Most recently, Godzilla has joined to club with Godzilla: Resurgence And I honestly think that you see more of Godzilla in the trailer than you do in the entirety of Gareth Edwards’ 2014 eponymously named movie. That being said, as much as […]
Let me cut to the chase. I am not particularly enamored of Gareth Edwards as a director. The problems start with his filmography. First you have Monsters, a movie where the aforementioned monsters felt like an afterthought which shouldn’t be the case with a movie named Monsters. His followup, Legendary’s Godzilla suffered a similar fate, with Godzilla […]
The strange thing about the latest trailer of Godzilla: Resurgence is that when you see the world’s most popular kaiju it feels like he turns up more in that small period of time than he did for the entirety of 2014’s Gareth Edwards-hemmed movie. That’s an exaggeration, though not as huge as you’d think considering […]
Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla Isn’t The Same Monster Many Of Us Grew Up Watching, Which Sometimes Isn’t A Good Thing In The Beginning… I remember when I was growing that I spent many Saturday afternoons in front of a television, watching monsters like Gamera, Mothra and Godzilla. They tended to have come into being due to the hubris of Man, as […]
Before Gareth Edwards directed Godzilla for Legendary and Warner Bros. he did a little (it cost $500,000, which is more in line with the catering budget of a movie these days) movie called Monsters, which was what put him on the map. Seeing that the former has just been released on Netflix and I haven’t yet seen […]
