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..

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS no stars
As big, dumb monster movies go they don't come any bigger, and certainly
any dumber, than "Godzilla, King of the Monsters". It's neither a
sequel to, and certainly not a remake of, any of the previous Godzilla
films but just another addition to a franchise that should have been
exterminated long before now. This is a Grade A turkey if I ever saw
one, a film with neither stars nor actors, (sorry, Vera Farmiga; sorry,
Sally Hawkins), in which all the money has been poured into
the monsters, (and there are a lot of monsters), and the battles
between the monsters which are then shot in either darkness or
semi-darkness so it's virtually impossible to know what's going on. The
plot could be written on a postage stamp and the special effects are
wasted in a plethora of fast-cutting, stormy seas,and exploding
mountains and while Godzilla may be the good guy, he's hardly in the
picture at all.
