Godzilla (2014) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : It roars in its lumbering steps
Gareth Edwards’ much-anticipated film “Godzilla” is a big monster flick wearing a big gray suit of disaster movie, and that combination feels awkward at times in spite of its several inspired moments to be watched. The movie intends to focus … Continue reading

The Thing (2011) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Same situation, same freak show
I am curious about the alien creature in “The Thing”(2011). I do not know whether it has intelligence or not, but its ability to imitate any organism it absorbs is marvelous enough to induce a serious discussion about its exceptional … Continue reading
Prometheus (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Somebody can hear you scream this time
