    Godzilla × Kong: The New Empire

    ★★½

    This is some dumb fun that was perfect for a Saturday morning. Some great physical comedy mixed into the fight scenes. Kong smacking the other apes with the little guy had me busting up laughing. 

    Ultimately not something I’ll probably revisit, but not nearly as bad as I feel like I’d been led to believe. I think there’s room where we can have a more serious Godzilla Minus One and this at the same time. 

    Watched the last battle with my three year old who got a kick out of “Big Monkey”, “Tiny Monkey”, and “Dino”.

  • Kiss Me Monster

    Kiss Me Monster

    ★★★

    Completely incoherent but I’m here for the vibes. Despite the rating, I thoroughly enjoy how lightheartedly silly this is and it was a perfect palette cleanser. Might have gotten an extra star if I’d been sipping on a drink with a flower in it. 

    I’d love to see the Venture Bros take on these two.

    Godzilla vs. Biollante

    ★★★★

    Holy hell this was a lot of fun. I didn’t anticipate how weird this one would get and in retrospect makes Return of Godzilla seem pretty tame in terms of the story by comparison. As if the tragic backstory, creation, and visual design of Biollante wasn’t enough, we’re given the corporate espionage and ESP sub-plots on top of everything. I’ll definitely be giving this one a rewatch in the future.
