Godzilla is a Japanese Kaiju film about the origins of Godzilla that started it all and the people are trying to find a way to defeat Godzilla. I have never seen the original film itself, which I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. The…

A goofy Japanese monster movie with a serious anti-nuke message. The cheap special effects are laughable by today's standards. But the film is well-made and a must see for fans of the genre.

Most of us nowadays are so used to seeing sequels, remakes and parodies of Godzilla. So when I watched the original original version, I was taken aback by how somber it can be at times. It's a snapshot of post-war Japan, only a few years…

The Japan version is very simbolic and amazing (it comes with caption in English) and is not as goofy as the U.S. release of the film which is also in the box. I loved it and personaly think it is way better then the newer vershion.

Godzilla (sometimes known as Big G) has often been called The King of All Monsters. And, I'd say that was a very fitting moniker for such a gargantuan beast as he. This flick from 1954 (with shades of Hiroshima in its storyline) is the…

A hideous reptilian monster terrifies the poor, innocent people of Japan in this retro cult classic. The radioactive foot prints left by Godzilla (1954) is a very real and current event mirrored by the Americans atomic bombings of…
