Sometimes I watch a light-hearted film to get my spirits up. That's what Isle of Dogs is, and so much more. It's as symmetrical and quirky as to be expected with a Wes Anderson film, but with some interesting undertones running through it. It follows an almost children's book scenario where every dog in Japan is banished to a small island for fear of spreading some vague disease. While it appears tween on the surface, Anderson adds some political subtext and adult themes to make things feel farcical and grounded at the same time. Anderson's excellent deadpan humour is here as well; adding to the hopelessness of the dogs' situation. It's excellently delivered by the star-studded cast of Anderson's usuals, and some newcomers. Each actor brings a subtle, but distinct, character to each one of the dogs. On a less serious note, this is an excellent movie for dog lovers. The core of Chief's (Bryan Cranston) arc is about watching over, and learning to l...

Last weekend there was nothing, but this weekend there's three big releases and one film in limited release that every horror fan needs to check out. And Jason and Shawn are here to tell you all about 'em! For starters, scream queen Jamie Bernadette stars, co-wrote and produced the slasher movie The 6th Friend, and it's been granted a limited theatrical run today. How cool is that? Given the Basement Boys have seen it, and will put the flick on the chopping block, it could be very cool indeed. What'd they think? Stick with us!

There's a trio of new movies headed your way this weekend, promising something for everyone. Well, as long as you like sci-fi, drama, comedy or dogs. Come to think of it, that pretty much IS everyone! And Jason, Shawn and Howie give you the rundown on all three movies, so your box-office dollar is well spent. Don't thank them now -- it's what today's segment on the mighty Radio NL 610 AM Morning Show is all about.

My name is Brandon. I am 11 years old. Shawn is my dad. He asked me if I could review the movie I saw today. I went to see Godzilla with my friends. Here is my review. IT WAS .... It was really loud. But I like loud, because I have two smaller brothers who are noisy, which sometimes stops me from hearing shows or movies. There were parts that didn't make a lot of sense, until all the monsters started showing up, but when they showed up, it was really cool. The monsters looked so real, it was amazing. There were only two battles, but the end battle was amazing. I also didn't know Godzilla could blow fire. Mostly because I'm young and haven't seen any other Godzilla movies . My daddy is going to fix that, though.

Matt Bellamy and I took in Gareth Edwards ' Godzilla tonight -- flick got out mere moments ago to be exact. Being a couple of die hard Godzilla and monster movie fans, we thought we'd share a review of this much anticipated flick. We're gonna trade off thoughts without discussing what will be said in advance. I'm gonna let Matt start things off. And yes, we're aware of the mixed public reaction, for what that's worth. Because who cares what other people fucking think.

It should come as no surprise that a trailer for the sequel to Gareth Edwards ' Monsters appears just as the director makes his Hollywood debut with Godzilla . This has got people are talking about the follow up to the low budget hit. Even us. What does surprise me is how big this flick looks. Monsters was a character story set in a world where aliens had taken roost on Earth. Shawn and Anthony Michael Bosa wanted more from the movie, a lot more.

Before we get into this, and I'll be brief, let's be honest: no one expected Gareth Edwards ' spin on Godzilla to be rated R. Nor was a movie about giant monsters stomping the living shit out of everything going to be rated G. This is as big a summer movie as big summer movies get. Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures need to make a tonne of dough on it. So it was made with that in mind.

No, that's not a special codeword for you know what. It's the real deal, as in a Godzilla toy to end all Godzilla toys. JAKKS Pacific has created a giant Godzilla action figure to go along with the upcoming Warner Bros. revival of the popular movie monster, and it's pretty damn epic.

Oh man. That's all I can say about this official trailer for the new Godzilla flick. It's beyond awesome. Really. It is. In fact, I'm gonna shut up and let you witness it for yourselves. Right now. Kudos to Matt Bellamy for letting me know it hit this morning.

The roar is one of the most recognizable sounds in all of moviedom, especially for us nerds who grew up watching the Toho flicks of 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. Yup, that's a long legacy of awesomeness. With just three months to go, Warner Bros. is really ramping up Godzilla fans' anticipation for Gareth Edwards ' take on the big, green guy. And it's good to know he's not only kept the general look of the King of the Monsters , but his trademark "yo!" as well.

And me like. Very much. A version of this will hang in The Basement one day. Mark my words, it will. It's probably safe to assume the anticipation level for Gareth Edward's new Godzilla flick is running high. The trailers look awesome, the cast is stellar, and who doesn't want to see the King of the Monsters stomp the tar out of some city and do battle with a host of other creatures? I'd say anyone with half a brain.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Can't wait until May 16. If the teaser didn't make you want to see director Gareth Edwards take on Godzilla , then this intense, full-length trailer should. I know I'm sold. And you should be too. This epic rebirth pits Godzilla against malevolent creatures who threaten mankind's very existence. The flick stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Bryan Cranston , Elizabeth Olsen , Juliette Binoche , and Ken Watanabe . Source: JoBlo Related articles New Godzilla Teaser!!!!

Just two weeks ago we posted a bootlegged teaser trailer for the new Godzilla flick . . . and it was promptly taken down by the Powers That Be on the Interwebs. Sad Basementite is sad. So we went and found another version of it. Happy Basementite is happy. Word has it Warner Bros. will unveil the official trailer for Gareth Edwards ' flick sometime tomorrow. In advance of that, the studio released three new images to satiate fans. They don't show much, nor are they as cool as that preview, but it's Godzilla. We like Godzilla in The Basement. Now word yet on what the new movie is about, other than Godzilla. Edwards has said the flick features more monsters than just the Big Green Guy, so we anticipate a throwdown that'll show Guillermo del Toro what for. No disrespect intended toward Pacific Rim, but it's not Godzilla. The movie stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Bryan Cranston , Elizabeth Olsen , Juliette Binoche , and Ken Watanabe . We await it'...

Monsters director Gareth Edwards is still balls deep into production on Godzilla , but an image of sorts of the new King of the Monsters has already surfaced online thanks to a Brazilian licensing expo. Gotta love those Brazilian licensing expos. Thank Jebus Godzilla actually looks like Godzilla. As much as Roland Emmerich 's 1998 Godzilla flick is a guilty pleasure, I never dug how they changed the look of my fave movie monster. Edwards has stuck with the tried and true, and I respect that. Godzilla stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Ken Watanabe , Elizabeth Olsen , Juliette Binoche, David Strathairn , Bryan Cranston and Sally Hawkins . The flick hits screens May 16, 2014.

Just days ago we brought you the uber good news that Gareth Edwards ' Godzilla movie was rolling in Vancouver. Now we've got a video from the set showing off some of the King of the Monsters handy work. Actually, the 48-second video shows the wreckage of a chopper and I can neither confirm nor deny if Godzilla had anything to do with causing said wreckage of said chopper. But it's still something. Plus you get to hear some of the Blue Oyster Cult 's classic Godzilla song. All good. And the video says the footage was taken in Nanaimo. Whatever. It's a slow news day. Who's in it? Aaron Taylor-Johnson ,  Elizabeth Olsen , David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston and legendary Japanese movie star Ken Watanabe . Edwards directs from a screenplay by Max Borenstein , Frank Darabont and Dave Callaham. Godzilla hits theaters on May 16th, 2014. Source: Bloody Disgusting   Related articles Godzilla Is Coming...

That's right. I thought the big, green guy would never see the light of day on a silver screen again, but a new Godzilla movie is filming right now. NOW! I'm excited. Not only is production underway, but the Legendary Pictures flick is shooting in Vancouver -- just down the road from Basement Headquarters. Woot! Road trip, me thinks! Who's in it? Aaron Taylor-Johnson ,  Elizabeth Olsen , David Strathairn and Bryan Cranston and legendary Japanese movie star Ken Watanabe . Cool. Monsters director Gareth Edwards calls the shots from a screenplay by Max Borenstein , Frank Darabont and Dave Callaham. Godzilla hits theaters on May 16th, 2014. And I will pay three extra dollars to see it.
