BMC: Godzilla Vs. Kong

Image
It's been a while but welcome back to BMC: BIG MONSTER CINEMA!  While this segment is usually used for looking at older Kaiju related films, we got ourselves a new film where a big ape fights a nuclear lizard. Godzilla Vs. Kong is the newest entry in Legendary Pictures/Warner Bros. Monsterverse films and is directed by Adam Wingard with a script by Eric Pearson and Max Borenstein and story by Terry Rossio, Michael Dougherty, and Zach Shields.   Godzilla Vs. Kong is a film that is highly aware of what kind of film it wants to be and boy does it deliver.  The human drama of the film has (wisely) been relegated to the background and gives our boys plenty of time to duke it out and throw punches.  The film is not some slow build-up to the two monsters fighting but instead has Godzilla coming after Kong after about 20 mins into the film and they will continue to meet and slug each other many times over the run time.  The human characters in the film, while still...

  Hello and welcome back to the Disney Countdown! The list presented are the films that are near and dear to my heart and some of them rank not just on this Disney list, but on a list of my favorite films of all time.  Prepare yourself, I am going to gush about these films. 10.

Tangled is not only a return to form for Disney, but it's the start of Disney playing with their tried and true formulas and presenting a story that has more emotional depth than a typical Disney princess film.  At first glance I would not fault anyone saying that Mother Gothel is one of Disney's weaker villains.  -Looking less Disney...

Disney Countdown 20-11

Welcome back to the Disney Countdown!  We are entering the home-stretch and the next bunch of films can be placed into the category of "Great!" I would even go as far as to say a number of films in this next batch are super underrated.  Speaking of which... 20. Meet the Robinsons I adore Meet the Robinsons.  I remember seeing it in theaters for the first time and it really catching me by surprise.  I do have some minor complaints with the animation as Disney is still trying to catch up with Pixar.  Its usually the characters eyes that suffer the most as they appear sunken in and even some of the mouth movements can't line up correctly, however this is the first attempt to animated animated people with Disney's CGI rather than animals that we saw them handle in Chicken Little.   -"Chef's Kiss"...Masterful- I always hoped they would spin this off into a tv series because the cast of characters are so well-defined and silly.  You get a sense of who t...
