Introduction:
So why did i like this movie so much?
This movie is about a father who loses his daughter "gone girl" one night when she got to some study group. He gets a detective on the case and they together try to find his daughter. They use a very interesting way of showing this movie through the use of social media, and the entire movie are viewed through a computer.
The characters in this movie give a very good performance all the way, It is very good storytelling and a tension that creeps up your spine, and you feel like your more and more on the edge of your seat, One thing that really kept me on the edge was the way they showed what is happening. You start getting drawn in and you look for clues and think about what is happening through the whole movie. It is a whole lot of commercial of different websites here and it work good. You kind of see the story of this girl through internet and i get this nostalgia feeling when you see the OS version from windows xp, the birth of facebook and youtube. All of this is done very great while also drawing you into the story.
There is kind of a feeling that you are reading a Agatha Christie book and looking for clues and who the murder is. And it is some twists here and there that really shocked me.
Who is this movie for: I think if you like mystery movies, thrillers this is a good choice to go for. If you like movies like Gone Girl, Disturbia, Unfriended or Prisoners this movie is a good watch.
Summary: I sit after this movie thinking and that i don't get much of when i watch recent movies. This was a very good put together movie with good twists, good performance, perfectly storytelling, very interesting points of view.
Conclusion: I got my first born child this year and after watching this and see how random things can happen in life. What can happen to your child unknowingly i sit and feel terrified. What is to come of her life and what is around the next corner. As a fresh father thinking how much you get to love your child and always make things matter for her. How much will you get to really know your child. Had i not got a child my own maybe i not would have gotten so touched by this movie as i did.
This movie is very touching and frightening. And if you want to be on the edge of your seat go for it. Maybe you will sit with the same feeling as i did after watching it.

Synopsis: This movie like the title says Godzilla returns. This time they bring in American and Russian military to the scene. A Russian submarine gets attacked and they blame the Americans for the happening. When they figure out that this is Godzilla returning back they want to use atomic warfare on it. But like the original Godzilla movie from 1954 the Japanese still have not forgotten the Hiroshima bombing and refuse to let the Russians and Americans use atomic bombs on Godzilla. They want to find another way to stop him.
Actors: These actors are not the best I have seen but did a fairly good job in this movie. Ken Tanaka have not been playing in any big things that I think people outside of Asia would know of. Yasuko Sawaguchi have acted in a bit more known works, like Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989), she have also been in another Toho Company monster movie called Orochi the Eight-Headed Dragon (1994). Yosuke Natsuki on the other hand may be the one who have played in most notable movies of these actors. The most well known movie he have starred in may be the Akira Kurosawa movie Yojimbo (1961), He have also been in other monster movies like Beauty and the Liquid Man (1958), Dagora the Space Monster (1964), Gihdorah the Three-Headed Monster (1964). Keiju Kobayashi have also been starring in a lot of movies but most of them not very well known outside of Asia. Maybe most known for his role in Kurosawa movie Sanjuro (1962). I actually think he did the best performance of the actors in this movie as the prime minister.
Cinematography: The sets here are all good like you expect from the Toho Studios when creating monster movies. The charming fact of the movies they make is what I mean is good cinema when you keep away from CGI at most. Like rockets from military wagons and planes they have created it themselves and it does not look very real but it looks cool. When you see they fire on Godzilla it is very cool scenes. The only CGI in most Godzilla movies are the radioactive breath that comes out of the mouth of Godzilla. I don't know if we should call it CGI actually but it is the closest to it you get in these movies. They create miniature versions of the cities and then the monster can go rampage there and it looks cool. And take note of what I say, it is not very good looking like wow but it looks cool and charming effect. Outside of all these bad CGI effects we get from Hollywood movies. One cool thing to take in mind before seeing this movie is a scene where a helicopter gets blasted down you see a billboard in the background of the Ghostbusters logo.
Music/Sound: The music is nothing very special in this one but the sound in Godzilla movies is always a treat. The roar of Godzilla is the best monster sound ever. The only thing that comes near may be the sound of the T-Rex in Jurassic Park, and that sound was inspired by the sound of the original Godzilla movie.
Costume/Make-up: In costumes I guess the only thing that can be mentioned is always the costume of Godzilla. It is a man inside that monster and that is what I love so much about the monsters in Asian monster movies. Not a computer generated monster but as close to the real thing that you can get and the costume is very good and detailed. The only other costumes to mention might be the ones that the military uses and well they are as they should be.
Summary: This is the first real sequel since the original Godzilla movie from Toho. And the first Godzilla movies since the original where he do not meet another monster to fight. The directors of this movie Koji Hashimoto and R.J. Kizer have not done much in main directing but many other movie related jobs. This movie is very good in the way that they wanted to take Godzilla to where he started if they succeeded or not is for each and everyone to decide. It may be a better watch for those loving the concept then the normal viewer. If you want the typical Hollywood way of movies stay away. If you like monster movies and foreign movies go for it. I liked it very much so this review may give you a bit of what to expect. Or point you in direction of other movies in the same genre.

Synopsis: Well I don't know where to start, I should probably written this in 1954 but I was not born yet so. And I think it is better to write reviews after you have watched many many movies before. This is the mother of all monster movies, I guess that the majority of movie fans have seen this so the review is more like a fan review from my side. And it is for the audience that have seen it and want to rate the review I make or by those who want to become a big movie fan. This is where the Kaiju genre started and in English it is giant monster. It starts with a roar from the monster of all monsters and if you listen closely you will recognize this sound from Jurassic Park by Steven Spielberg's T-Rex. The sound is taken from him. The movie itself is about Gojira (Godzilla) and it is one of the best out there. And if you think about what year this came out you understand what an amazing movie this was in 1954 when it came to theaters in Asia or mainly Japan. It is a mystery what all this is about from the beginning. A ship gets attacked by something and one of the survivors say it looked like the sea exploded. Hilarious quote by the way. They start to research this mysterious thing after some boats are getting attacked. They soon find out it is a sea monster from the Jura era. When the dinosaurs lived. They think it is woken up by atomic radiation. I will come to that in my summary of this review because it has a lot to do with the morale in this movie. You guessed right it is Godzilla that comes up from that sea and make the best movie monster of all time.
Acting: Well what should we say here the acting of Godzilla or the actors. The monster part is excellent enough said. But the actors I can say something about. He actually played in a lot of these Toho movies with monsters, like King Kong Escapes (1967), Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965), Mothra vs Godzilla (1964), Godzilla King of the Monsters. He did a good job in this movie actually and that is why he appears in other movies outside of this I guess. Momoko Kochi also became a little Toho icon after this movie. Half Human (1955), she also appears in Godzilla King of the Monsters, The Mysterians (1957), Godzilla vs. Destroyah. Did a good job in this movie, nothing very big to mention but still good. Takashi Shimura the biggest actor of them all in this movie. He acted in over 200 movies and some were very big titles from Japan. This guy plays in so many big movies from Japan it would be to much to mention my favorites but to name some of the big ones, it would be the Akira Kurosawa movies he played in many of the samurai movies from him and also played in 4 of the well known Kaiju movies from Toho. He is always a good watch and did a good job in this one. Last of them I wanted to talk about is Akihiko Hirata also represented in other Godzilla movies. And one of my favorite monsters. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), Terror of Mechgodzilla (1975), also a little heads up he was in Ultraman: Monster big Battle (1976). He also did a great job here.
Cinematography: Well the setting is in Japan and some places in Tokyo mostly in the studio in Tokyo. And it is really great. Very good use of the camera angles by far from this era in the 50's.
Sound/Music: I already did say something about this but the sound of this monster is the best in history. It shivers down your spine and Jurassic Park made its own version of this sound. Try to compare them. The music is known even today by the movie industry. And will be there for all time.
Costumes/Make-up: The only thing to mention here is the Godzilla costume and it is absolutely amazing for its time. The way his body moves and the way his mouth moves at times is very good.
Summary: The director Ishiro Honda is one favorite to remember for all time. The man who created the monster genre like we know it today. I can't write up all of the movies I like about him but look him up on IMDb. I would recommend this to all but I can't promise that all will like it. If you like monster movies check out all the Toho movies like Gamera, Mothra, Ultraman, and Godzilla movie. You have many other monster movies by them to if you really like them. Some of them are really hard to come by but search on ebay and maybe you get lucky. But this movie is a masterpiece and everybody who love movies should watch this one time. And hopefully you get your mind in the direction to check out all of the Toho movies. I will review all of the Gamera and Godzilla movies very soon as I see them and take notes. So if you want more reviews keep up to date about my reviews. I am thinking of making video reviews on my youtube channel to if someone want to see my collection and have more fun with watching then reading reviews. As I was talking about earlier this movies morale is actually a bit of a propaganda movie. They still had a big grudge on the US for the Hiroshima bombing. And this goes on in this movie, I will not spoil anything big but have this in mind when watching it.
