‘Godzilla’ Looks Better Than Ever 70 Years Later With New Criterion 4K Release [Review]
Image
Godzilla premiered in November of 1954, eight months to the day after the United States set off its first hydrogen bomb. Indebted to but distinct from pioneering giant monster movies like 1925’s The Lost World, 1933’s King Kong, and 1953’s The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the seminal Japanese kaiju film is more than just another special effects-driven creature feature. Working from a story by Shigeru Kayama, writer-director Ishirō Honda and co-writer Takeo Murata provide an outlet for post-war Japan’s fears.

In the atomic age parable, an ancient, 164-foot creature dubbed Gojira ravages Tokyo after being awakened from its deep-sea hibernation by nuclear testing. Scientist Daisuke Serizawa (Akihiko Hirata), salvage ship captain Hideto Ogata (Akira Takarada), paleontologist Kyohei Yamane, and his daughter Emiko Yamane (Momoko Kōchi) are tasked with fulfilling their social obligations to stop the seemingly indestructible beast.

The decision to use an actor (Haruo Nakajima and Katsumi Tezuka) in a...

Akane Yashiro: Nothing So Strong as Gentleness
Image
by Alyssa Charpentier

“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength,” remarked Francis de Sales. This seemingly contradictory adage finds a home not only in the 16th century but also in female movie characters from the Japanese Godzilla series. The Godzilla saga, which celebrates its 70th birthday this year, features numerous inspiring women. Refer to “Gojira,” the 1954 original, for a glimpse at its first, Emiko Yamane (Momoko Kochi). Emiko's tender heart shines in her caregiving for the film's wounded and her convictions that compel scientist Daisuke Serizawa to use his apocalyptic Oxygen Destroyer device against Godzilla. Noriko Oishi (Minami Hamabe) is the franchise's most recent figure of female endurance in “Godzilla Minus One” (2023): she courageously rears a small child—not even her own—following postwar Japan's devastation while living with an emotionally tortured, disgraced young Kamikaze who doesn't intend to marry her (a precarious...

Retro Review: Godzilla (1954) is More Interested in Entertaining Than Educating, and That's Fine
Image
Like its eponymous lumbering lizard, Ishirō Honda's 1954 Godzilla (Gojira) moves unhurriedly but with grave intentionality, inching toward inevitable catastrophe. From the opening roar -- what a wonder a double bass, a leather glove, and some pine tar resin can create -- to Akira Ifukube's frantic theme music, Godzilla establishes its urgency from the outset, unsettling and preparing us for the worst -- a terror borne of humanity's hubris.

Godzilla begins aboard the Eiko-maru, a 7500-ton South Seas Shipping vessel. One sailor plays harmonica, and another plays guitar while the rest of the crew rests in a languorous lull. Spontaneously, the moment is interrupted by a burst of phosphorescent light from the ocean. Moments later, a fiery wreckage is all that remains. Hideto Ogata (Akira Takarada), a member of the Coast Guard, receives a phone call. He tells Emiko Yamane (Momoko Kochi) that he can't attend the evening's performance...

Still King of All Monsters: Revisiting the Original ‘Gojira’ at 70
Image
It all began with the sound of thundering footsteps and a now-iconic roar before giving way to Akira Ifukube’s equally iconic music. Japanese cinema and monster movies worldwide would never be the same again. In the beginning, Godzilla represented the ultimate in fear and destruction. A creature so colossal, he could lay waste to entire cities just by lumbering through them and swinging his mighty tail before setting them ablaze with a burst of his atomic breath. Over the years he evolved from national terror to national treasure, becoming a protector and kind of mascot to the nation of Japan. He was transplanted and championed all over the world. Eventually he became a joke and a marketing tool used to sell everything from Fiats, to Snickers bars, to Nike shoes in a one-on-one pickup game with Charles Barkley. Within the past year, Godzilla has come full circle with the...

Svengoolie: horror host show will be 30 minutes longer in 2023
Image
Svengoolie, a.k.a. Rich Koz, has been working as a horror host since 1979, and over the decades his show has grown from airing in select areas – Chicago, Milwaukee, and South Bend, for example – to being broadcast nationwide on the MeTV network. And in 2023, Svengoolie’s show is going to be growing in a different way. It’s going to be 30 minutes longer!

Fangoria broke the news that, staring in January, Svengoolie will now air from 8pm to 10:30 pm (Eastern) on Saturday nights. The show’s timeslot had previously been from 8 to 10. Here are the first batch of movies that will benefit from the show’s extended running time:

The Raven: Saturday, January 7 – 8pm-10:30pm Et

Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Jack Nicholson (1963) – Horror

Inspired by the famous Edgar Allan Poe poem, a magician, who has been turned into a raven, turns to a former sorcerer for help.

Film Review: Godzilla (1954) by Ishiro Honda
Image
When looking at the landscape of Japanese cinema, it is hard to imagine it without the likes of Akira Kurosawa, Kenji Mizoguchi, and Yasujiro Ozu, which, much due to their re-discovery and evaluation by European critics and film festivals, have gained a reputation of being part of the quintessential cinematic canon. However, when the boutique label Criterion announced their release of an edition of the first “Godzilla”-features, the event was met with both excitement from cinephiles, but also criticism, since many though there were many other titles more deserving of a treatment such as this. Among many other features, what this discussion highlighted was the narrow scope of many filmfans and so-called connoisseurs of the medium, but also the fact that Ishiro Honda, despite being highly regarded among his peers, most notable Kurosawa himself, never truly received the kind of acceptance his colleagues did. If there is any feature...

Hiroshima 70th Anniversary: Six Must-Watch Movies Remembering the A-Bomb Terror
'The Beginning or the End' 1947 with Robert Walker and Tom Drake. Hiroshima bombing 70th anniversary: Six movies dealing with the A-bomb terror Seventy years ago, on Aug. 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped the first atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima. Ultimately, anywhere between 70,000 and 140,000 people died – in addition to dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and most other living beings in that part of the world. Three days later, America dropped a second atomic bomb, this time over Nagasaki. Human deaths in this other city totaled anywhere between 40,000-80,000. For obvious reasons, the evisceration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki has been a quasi-taboo in American films. After all, in the last 75 years Hollywood's World War II movies, from John Farrow's Wake Island (1942) and Mervyn LeRoy's Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944) to Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998) and Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor (2001), almost invariably have presented a clear-cut vision...

Godzilla (2014)
How does the original Godzilla rate to a first-time viewer?
Godzilla (2014)
Directed by Ishirô Honda, Japanese classic Gojira (1954) – or Godzilla – spawned 30-ish sequels, along with innumerable spin-offs and spoofs. You might have heard a tiny bit about one of them this week. Inspired by 1953's The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms and the 1952 re-release of King Kong (1939), Gojira started a lengthy stream of Kaiju ("strange creature") films leading right up to Cloverfield (2008). And yet, I wonder how many of Big G's new fans have seen the original B&W version, and whether it can possibly stand up to scrutiny 60 years later? Armed with a free DVD from a newspaper that Loves demonising imaginary monsters, I set about acquainting myself.

The film begins with the mysterious sinking of not one, but two, model boats. This causes great consternation at the Maritime Safety Bureau, where hysterical families await news of their loved ones. Could it be an underwater volcano? Floating mines? "Send more ships!

Ishirô Honda and Takashi Shimura in Godzilla (1954)
Godzilla 60th Anniversary Trailer and Poster
Ishirô Honda and Takashi Shimura in Godzilla (1954)
Celebrate the re-release of Godzilla: The Japanese Original as it returns remastered and uncut for its 60th Anniversary. We have the trailer and poster, followed by all the details behind the return of the world's most iconic monster!

A new restoration of Godzilla, the monster classic that has spawned six decades of sequels, imitations, and remakes, will debut April 12 at the fifth TCM Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, followed by a national release beginning at New York's Film Forum, April 18-24.

Godzilla was originally released here in 1956 as Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, an atrociously cut, dubbed and re-edited version that inserted American actor Raymond Burr into the action; only an hour was used of the original's 98 minute running time. Raymond Burr does not appear in the original, uncut version, which has an all-Japanese cast including Takashi Shimura, who the very same year appeared as leader of the Seven Samurai.

Catching up with a Classic: ‘Gojira’ intelligently leaves a path of death and decay
Gojira (English title: Godzilla)

Directed by Ishirô Honda

Written by Ishirô Honda and Shigeru Kayama

Japan, 1954

Think of films such A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Frankenstein, Dracula, King Kong . Each is a horror film featuring a monster or a killer. Each was also made several decades ago. Despite this, people still watch, write about and discuss about all of them because of their respective artistic and in some cases historical merits. In essence, the importance of their age lessons when compared to the various impacts they left on film fans the world over. Yet another common thread linking them is that their individual successes spawned a long line of mostly flawed, disappointing remakes, sequels and prequels. The subsequent installments sometimes tarnish the legacy of the original to the point where common movie goers are not even aware of what made the first episode special in the first place. Godzilla,...
