It is great to see a movie like this treated with a level of respect. While Godzilla can be boiled down to a giant monster causing a rampage in a city, the fact that the film (as well as its marketing) had a level of restraint in how to actually depict the sort of chaos […]

Don’t dare take your eyes off the screen as every moment is of grave importance. Such was the atmosphere this week at the press screening for Christopher Nolan’s newest masterpiece, […]
