I Am So Happy That Godzilla Will Actually Look Like Godzilla In The New Godzilla Movie

Derek

After that disastrous of piece of crap that Roland Emmerich made where Godzilla was revealed to be a Teen Mom, I was a bit worried when I heard the news that Hollywood was going to make another attempt at bringing the big guy to US movie screens. But my worries in one area at least were unfounded because the Godzilla that Legendary Pictures is producing will look like Godzilla is supposed to look…which is how the character has looked for the past 60 years.

Short Shrift Theater: The Flying Man

Derek

theflyingman
So imagine a world where The Punisher had the powers of Superman. If you envision the incidents of criminals dropping out of the sky to their deaths rising at an alarming rate thanks to The Punisher being able to fly then you have the gist of THE FLYING MAN, a short film about a vigilante with super-strength and flight powers preying on the criminal. element. The stuff with The Flying Man doing is thing is pretty riveting but the short film does drag a bit during the extended time that is spent with the two criminals on their way to do a job.
