Not to be confused with Mothra vs. Godzilla from 1964. This is the version from the Heisei era, because I am a ’90s kid.

Y’know that meme that made the rounds a few years ago involving Cole Sprouse’s character from Riverdale going on about how much of a weirdo he is? I…
Day Twenty-Four: Josie and the Pussycats (MotM 2021)
Yeah, I watched this. Apparently this has something of a cult following? And is actually good? I was intrigued—cautiously, but intrigued all the same.
Day Twenty-One: Barking Dogs Never Bite (MotM 2021)
Will try not to spend too long on this one. I have some other things to attend to.

This post will be fairly short, as explaining the formula employed by Pixar in basically all of their films is immensely tiring and overstated by this point. If…

I’m very close to the end. The vision is clear. Or perhaps… I’m not close at all, and I never really started. What can I truly believe? Schwarzenegger.…

Ignorance is bliss. I have been cursed with the knowledge that a large majority of films are problematic in some capacity and now I cannot stop seeing it.…

Mothra (1961) review [The Godzilla Project]
By elegantly using the kaiju Mothra, Honda warns the Japanese spectator of the destructive societal effects that the blind adoption of unrestricted capitalism and wild consumption can cause.
Day Two: The Green Hornet (MotM 2020)
There are a large number of ways I could start this review. “Hey, I used to really like Seth Rogen for some reason. He played a large part…

How do you make a good movie again? Do it over again. But as the meme says, “Yeah, but don’t make it too obvious.” It was a little…
Day Sixteen: Rocky Balboa (MotM 2021)
All right, it’s back to going with the promotional material. What can I say? This one kind of revitalized me.
Day One: Bicycle Thieves (MotM 2021)
Fun fact: finding usable covers for older films in a 16×9 aspect ratio is a real pain. With that said, I unfortunately do not have much time to…
Day Fourteen: Rocky IV (MotM 2021)
I might just become a Rocky trivia master after watching these almost daily. That, and these films are all almost the same.
Day Fifteen: Rocky V (MotM 2021)
This is my cover for this film. I’m not even gonna bother with the promotional art. I’m tired.

Oh no. Ohhhhh nooooo. Ohhhhhhhh… nooooooooooooooo…
Day Eight: Lady Snowblood (MotM 2021)
Two things tonight: This review will be short and will include a fairly big spoiler. In hindsight, the spoiler isn’t that surprising if one researches this film on…
Day Twenty-Two: Night at the Museum (Mot 2020)
This got two sequels. I find this fact pretty amusing. Many years ago, I held a grudge against Ben Stiller. I thought he was a dumb actor that…
Day Three: Bad Education (2019) (MotM 2021)
As it turns out, my Wednesdays off encourage me to be lazy, so I think I’ll continue that with this review. Will detail some things about what I…
Day Eighteen: Three Colors: Blue (MotM 2021)
Before the numerous superhero trilogies that spawned from the early 2000’s and onwards, there was this trilogy. The theme? Colors. Why? Uh, because.
Day Four: Fish Story (2009) (MotM 2021)
Guess what, everyone? I don’t have any history with this film or anyone involved with it. That can only mean one thing: I will talk about the film…
Day Twelve: Tonari no Totoro (MotM 2021)
Brother was not available today, so I went to a back-up plan in the event of a Rocky-less night. For the OG readers of my blog, this may…
Day Five: The Gold Rush (1925) (MotM 2021)
Going to be a quick piece today. The proceedings of the day did not develop a write-happy boy.
Anime NYC 2021, Day Two
If the first day was defined by the lines outside, the 2nd day was defined by the lines INSIDE. My schedule for the day had to be adjusted…
Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex
Godzilla vs. Gigan Rex I’ve been a long time fan of Godzilla. So whenever I see something Godzilla related, I do take note. This is a pretty awesome…
Mothra
by Jeremy Clarke. You’d be forgiven for assuming Mothra (1961) to be a typical Toho monster movie in which a giant moth attacks Tokyo. However, the film single-handedly…
Day Six: Where Is the Friend’s House? (MotM 2021)
Before saying anything about this film or how I felt about it, we need to ask the real questions, such as “What is this film actually called?” I’ve…
Day Nine: I Am Not Madame Bovary (MotM 2021)
Today’s film was suggested by a friend of mine. Said friend has already seen this, and gave it a 5/10 and called it a “chore to watch.” So…
Day Seven: Songs My Brothers Taught Me (MotM 2021)
As obnoxious as this is, I will be heavily comparing this film to another of director Chloé Zhao’s I’ve seen—The Rider—for reasons I will get into.

A splendid Godzilla narrative that delivers thrilling kaiju action while elegantly exploring the impact of the rise of capitalism and consumerism on Japanese society and the traumatic truth…
Day Thirty: Holes (MotM 2020)
It’s late and the head is throbbing. Gonna keep this fairly direct. Fun fact: this was, at one point, my favorite film of all time. No hyperbole in…
Day Five: Anomalisa (MotM 2020)
To this film’s detriment, there was a heavy load of expectations from me going into it. Three film critics whose opinions I trust—for those aware, the three members of…
Day Six: Camille (MotM 2020)
This was another one of those titles that I watched and attached a really high rating to. It’s especially curious because I remember next to nothing about this.…
Day Eighteen: Unknown (MotM 2020)
Coincidentally, there’s a whole lot of unknown going on in the world at present. I wanted to take this short space to wish people a safe and comfortable…
Day Fourteen: Machete (MotM 2020)
I’m not even going to provide a witty introduction this time. My old review’s introduction is all the set-up one needs. I shit you not, this is how…
