Hollywood’s ‘Godzilla’ Misses, Mocks Ishirô Honda’s Main Warning Message
Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on May 17, 2014 - 2:08pmRating: 2.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Except for the clear purpose of cashing in on yet another “Godzilla” remake, everything is happening for no reason. Worst of all, what is ensuing misses and even mocks the reason why Ishirô Honda originated 1954’s “Godzilla” in the first place.
‘Godzilla’ Just Goes Where He Has Gone Before

CHICAGO – I did not like “Godzilla.” That sentence alone might make my review interesting enough to attract some initial attention. But despite that, and despite the fact that I’m a sucker for pretty much giant anything if it stomps a city, I’m holding fast to this judgment.
Love is Impossible in Alluring Period Horror ‘In Secret’
Submitted by NickHC on February 23, 2014 - 5:37pmRating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – If stories of Prince Charmings and the liberation from wicked stepmothers are fairy tales, than “In Secret” is the stuff of nightmares, where marriage is not just a prison sentence, but an unlucky life is as well. Based on the novel “Therese Raquin” by Emile Zola as published in 1867, this film’s element of ownership may be considered an artifact in 2014. But thankfully this adaptation earns its own pertinence, as a dark period thriller with real doses of hormonally fueled bad decisions.
