The most important thing for me is how a movie makes me feel.

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep 1966
With a beautiful island setting, vibrant colors in the costume design, and energetic direction from Jun Fukuda, this film breathes some much-needed life into the Godzilla franchise after a lackluster previous entry.
Godzilla's battles with Ebirah are unique and fun, and they filled with delightfully silly moments (the two play volleyball with a boulder at one point). There's also a bizarre moment where Godzilla gets horny for a human woman, which only makes sense when you realize this was originally…

It's a shame, because the performances are all pretty solid, and the story had a lot of potential. I wish this was better than it was.

It’s hard for me to articulate why I found this so terrible. The story feels like they combined three different scripts together. There’s the composer with writer’s block who gains inspiration after he has an affair with an unstable and quirky boat captain. There’s the therapist who wants to become a nun because of guilt (I think). And there’s the romance between an 18 year and a 16 year old that’s framed as pure…
