We in The Basement are impressed with Warner Bros. revitalization of the Godzilla franchise, and the way filmmakers have weaved it into an expanded universe with King Kong. Which means we're stoked for Adam Wingard's upcoming Godzilla Vs. Kong. The titans have squared off once before, waaaaaayyyyyy back in the 60s, and are set to do so again in November. And now we know what Wingard's movie will be about. Observe: Legends collide as Godzilla and Kong, the two most powerful forces of nature, clash on the big screen in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into fantastic uncharted terrain, unearthing clues to the Titans' very origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the Earth forever. Neat! Wingard directs from a screenplay by Terry Rossio. The film stars Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall and Brian Tyree Henry. Godzilla Vs. Kong hits theat...

I bring shame to my family by admitting I didn't catch Godzilla: King of the Monsters during it's initial theatrical run back in May. But life happens, and this lifelong Godzilla fan failed to do so. But I've bloody well seen it now, and I have much love for it! Lamestream critics bashed Michael Doughtery's epic Godzilla movie for not putting human drama first, and instead focusing on monster-versus-monster action. I wonder what the fuck movie they were expecting? As much as I enjoyed 2014's Godzilla, it had a little too much human drama for my liking. In fact, my chief complaint about Godzilla: King of the Monsters is there's still too many people in this movie. I yearn for the day when I get a Godzilla movie that's all monsters, and boring humans are nothing more than things to be stepped on. I digress. This is a great Godzilla movie, with epic battles between the King of the Monsters and Monster Zero and Rodan. Plus there's Mothra here too, ...

I'm a hard-core Godzilla fan. I even have a tattoo of the King of the Monsters on my right leg. Love the classic Toho films. Love the 2014 version by Gareth Edwards. The 1996 Matthew Broderick film? ... not so much.
