Frankenstein review
Director Guillermo Del Toro is a master at bringing gothic horror to the big screen in glorious fashion, which he does for this episode’s movie “Frankenstein”, but only in a small number of theaters. Most people will have to see this on the small screen because Del Toro decided to make his long-awaited “Frankenstein” movie for Netflix, the king of small screen. Nevertheless, it’s fantastic to see a classic movie monster on the screen, with an excellent cast no less. Oscar Isaac plays Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Mia Goth is Elizabeth, Christoph Waltz as Harlander and Charles Dance as Leopold Frankenstein. This version of the classic tale introduces us to Victor Frankenstein as a young boy to begin to explain his mad ambitions, then onto his creation of The Creature and then the aftermath. We even get to see The Creature’s story from his perspective. Does this all add up to an entertaining movie? Check out this episode to find out! “Frankenstein” also stars Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, Christian Convery, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Kyle Gatehouse, Lauren Collins, Sofia Galasso, Ralph Ineson and Burn Gorman.
Godzilla Minus One review
This guy is big, scaly, has razor sharp teeth, atomic breath and is almost 70 years old. His name? Godzilla and his new movie Godzilla Minus One is creating some major buzz. The word of mouth is rampaging across the world. Made by the original Godzilla movie studio Toho in Japan, Godzilla Minus One starts towards the end of World War II with a kamikaze pilot who’s ashamed he couldn’t perform his duty. To make things worse, he has a near-death encounter with Godzilla and is one of just a couple survivors of the attack. Yet, to make matters even worse than that, he returns to Tokyo to find his parents have been killed and his country is destroyed. If he, and Japan think they’re getting any rest, think again because the Godzilla attacks begin and he’s not coming to help humankind. Is Godzilla Minus One worth all the buzz it’s getting? Check out my spoiler-free review here to find out. Godzilla Minus One stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Sakura Ando, Kuranosuke Sasaki, Munetaka Aoki, Yuki Yamada, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Michael Arias, Yuya Endo, Kisuke Iida.
