The Great Monster Varan (1958, Honda Ishir?)
By Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 22, 2018 From The Stop ButtonThe only thing more tedious and lethargic than the first half of Varan is the second half of Varan.

By Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 2, 2015 From The Stop ButtonI’m not sure if Mothra vs. Godzilla should be much better, but it certainly should be somewhat better. There are constant problems with the film; little things, big things, but clearly fixable things. Like the composite shots. They’re terrible. Director Honda, seemingly overwhelmed with ...
