I have been reviewing films all my life, semi-professionally in the past and for the past 10 or 12 years on imdb and more recently in letterboxd and facebook. The idea of this blog is to get as many of those reviews gathered together in one place. I have had a great deal of support and encouragement from a lot of people throughout the world and I hope that continues. Now for the ratings. **** = not to be missed. *** = highly recommended. ** = recommended. * = of interest and no stars = avoid..

KING KONG VS GODZILLA *
One of the great bad movies, a Japanese-American co-production which was
released in the West in an atrociously dubbed version which only makes
the already bad acting seem even worse but then nobody goes to a movie
entitled "King Kong vs. Godzilla" to see the humans. Yes, in 1962 Toho
Pictures gave us not one but two monsters for the price of one as well
as the mother of all battles and some really dinky toy tanks and trains.
Of course, it's gob-smackingly awful and the racial stereotyping is
appalling but once the two big guys get together you're prepared to
overlook almost anything. Very small kids will love it.
