‘Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire’ Movie Review

By

“Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” is the fifth feature film installment in WB’s decade-long MonsterVerse franchise. I enjoyed the most recent chapter, 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong”. 2014’s “Godzilla” was solid… 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island” only so-so… and 2019’s “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” was horrible. Also watched the first couple episodes of AppleTV+ origin […]

Most people know, going into “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”, that these two titans will be facing-off in next year’s “Godzilla v. Kong”. And if […]

‘Kong: Skull Island’ Review

By

I was only 7 when the 2005 “King Kong” came out, and the massive Kong image on the posters, lobby displays and magazine covers shook me a bit. In fact, to this day, whenever I see a picture of that Kong,  I still get a little bit of a jolt. A dozen years later, Kong is […]
