Last Film You Watched



Godzilla Minus One

I've never been a big fan of the Godzilla films (only ever seen some of the american ones from the 90s and onwards) as big CGI monsters fighting's never really appealed to me, but this was an exception. No surprise that the good one's Japanese.

The characters carried the film and got me invested, but the monster design's also the best I've ever seen in this series. I was also pleased to see the absolute carnage inflicted on the city. I couldn't help but laugh at it all. Especially having sat through Troll on Netflix last year where nothing happened after the monster reached the city.

I'll gladly ignore some dodgy CGI here and there due to a relatively low budget, when the rest of the film delivers like this. 8/10

Watched it on a wonderful blu-ray with zero bonus material.

Check out Shin Godzilla. It's just as good.

We've been working our way through unseen 90s/2000s thrillers on Disney+ with mixed results (Air Force is utter guff for example), but Flightplan was a bit of a good'un.
High concept for sure (kid goes missing on a plane) but the story is intriguing and even if it doesn't quite stick the landing, for the most part it's a satisfying if somewhat implausible techno thriller. Jodie Foster is 'kin brilliant, unsurprisingly. And Sean Bean survives, which was surprising.
