Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters is about a future where humans have left earth because of Godzilla. They return years later and because of time dilation, Earth has developed more dangerous monsters that dominate the planet.

There are two directors of this anime film. One of which is a man named Hirouki Seshita, where you're probably wondering why he's important. He did the cutscenes for one of my favorite games of all time Final Fantasy X. He also did Final Fantasy VII and I imagine more people like that one but not myself. Cloud is a bit too melodramatic for my tastes.

The other director is Kôbun Shizuno. He worked on the Detective Conan movies which are pretty popular in Japan but not so much here in the States. The direction these two use to use the script to flow the animation is hit or miss in the beginning. I'm mostly just waiting for the diplomacy to get over with and Godzilla to show up. Then again that's pretty much any Godzilla movie.

One of the writers of the film is none other than the legendary Sadayuki Murai who did a little movie called Perfect Blue. If that doesn't ring any bells then maybe the fact that Darren Aronofsky bought the rights to Perfect Blue so that he could draw inspiration for his Oscar-winning movie Black Swan.

Result: B (There are a few boring parts but overall a good Godzilla anime)

Cinderella (2021)

  Cinderella is a modern take on the classic tale. This time everything is politically upside down. Written and Directed by Kay Cannon,   Cinderella takes any chance it can to push an agenda. It's nauseating in the forcefulness of the propaganda. It's hard to take any scene that isn't singing seriously. It lives in a dystopian world where anyone who doesn't think progressively like-minded is a fool and shouldn't have joy. The direction is okay, but that's to be expected as she probably picked up some being the producer of the Pitch Perfect trillogy. Camila Cabello  plays Cinderella and her first major film. She can sing and performs well next to her stepmother played by Idina Menzel, who needs no introduction. Surely, she will be in future musicals and I can only hope for one with a better writer. Pierce Brosnan  plays King Rowan and is forceful in his performance but given the point of his character, it's sad to see. Someone had to be the punching bag, and ...

Escape Room (2019)

Escape Room  is presented as a Saw-like game of puzzle solving or your life ends. This time around they remove the gore to get a PG-13 rating and a January release. Adam Robitel is best known as the director of Insidious: The Last Key. Which I 'saw' and meh'd about last year. He also did Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension which I haven't seen. I stopped watching the Paranormal movies after The Marked Ones. There are some camera/direction problems nothing an average movie-goer would notice. Taylor Russell plays the main character Zoey. Don't take any offense, but she has a really hard time going full Aspergers, but once she turns Lara Croft she does a decent job. She also did the over-looked Lost in Space TV series which I still need to watch. I want to see Deborah Ann Woll in more movies after seeing her in this. She was a shining star in this film. She plays a former military survivor with a lot of baggage. You'll remember her as Karen Page from ...

Glass (2019)

Glass  is the final in the Unbreakable trilogy. This time Mr. Glass finally sees his masterminded plot to fruition. Written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan , Glass is about...well it's about these superheroes. They are supposed to be, at least that's the question throughout the film. It's a hesitation that really cuts the film down from being better. Bruce Willis  returns as David Dunn from Unbreakable. He's better in this than he has been as of recent. That's not saying much, he doesn't really do much of importance. Samuel L. Jackson  returns as Mr. Glass who for most of the film he's just sitting there doing nothing. The film is called class but really it's more about James McAvoy's character in the first half of the movie. James McAvoy plays the same characters from Split. He's great at changing over and switching between them but I got enough of that in Split. After a while, I was just waiting for other characters to d...
