Long Live the King

The best Godzilla movie I’ve seen in 24 years.

And I frakkin’ love Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995).

So much kaiju goodness in this one, so much more than Godzilla 2014.  And hearing the original theme from Akira Ifukube really made this film that much better.

And ALL THE CALL BACKS to so many classic moments from the 30-film library of Godzilla films made me so freaking happy, my jaw dropped so many times during this film.

All they needed was the Super-X to make this one perfect.  It definitely ranks up among my top 5 Godzilla films.  Maybe even top 3, I’d have to think about that.

The critics talk about lack of plot.  WHEN WAS PLOT EVER A HIGHLIGHT OF A GODZILLA FILM, FFS?

I give this one the highest recommendation possible, for fans of the pre-2000 Godzilla films.  For casual fans, it’s a fun romp, a popcorn flick, officially starting the summer movie season.

I’m gonna see this one again, maybe even in IMAX.

One Year Later

We lost Dad a year ago today.

This morning I went to the 7:00 am Mass at our church, along with one of my aunts, one of my nieces, and my sisters.  His name was mentioned along with the offerings.

Afterwards I had to go get a measles shot.

I was thinking of going to the movies this morning/afternoon but as I browsed the Cinemark site for tickets, I decided to just go on Mother’s Day, as I usually do.

After my shot I spent some time at Barnes & Noble, before heading out to visit my parents at the cemetery.

I was going to get lunch at a Fil Am restaurant, but I drove by I saw a long line outside, so I went home and ordered a bacon cheeseburger pizza and fries.

I fired up Vudu and browsed some movies, still not sure what I want to watch, if anything.  I guess I’m not in much of a movie mood today.

That’s me and Dad at the last Giants game that he attended, back in 2015.

Miss you and love you, Dad.  Sorry for the above picture where you’re eating a chicken sandwich.
