Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Tumblr media
I might’ve been a little starved for blockbusters the first time I saw Godzilla vs. Kong and rated it. In my defense, it was during the pandemic and the other movies I was able to see during lockdown were mostly disappointments. Reviewing the film again, I recognize that the human’s plot is undercooked while everything with the monsters is spectacular. Well, at least the movie knows where its priorities stand and considering what its audience wants to see…
When Godzilla suddenly attacks Apex Cybernetics’ Pensacola facility, conspiracy theorist Bernie Hayes (Brian Tyree Henry) becomes convinced they somehow provoked the titan. Madison Russell (Millie Bobby Brown) - an avid fan of his podcast - shares his suspicions. They rope her friend Josh (Julian Dennison) into investigating and confirm their fears aren't entirely unfounded. After the attack, Apex insists mankind needs to develop a weapon against Godzilla and asks Monarch to give them access to Kong. They believe the titan ape can lead them inside the vast caverns below our world to a power source formidable enough to take down the king of the monsters.
Though Godzilla’s name appears first in the title, this film is about Kong much more than the radioactive dinosaur. It’s a good choice, as the ape is resourceful, an underdog in this fight and intelligent enough to communicate with Monarch via sign language. Godzilla might’ve protected the Earth/humanity in the previous movies, but was it really a heroic character, or was the nuclear reptile just killing its rivals? Kong, on the other hand, has actual human friends. Even though the Iwis we met during Kong: Skull Island have been wiped out (seems like a missed opportunity), Kong still has a link to them in the form of Jia (Kaylee Hottle), a deaf-mute Iwi survivor adopted by Dr. Ilene Andrews (Rebecca Hall). Nonetheless, his situation gives him a very relatable quest: he wants to know if there is a new family for him out there.
One-half of the human's story fares fairly well. With the help of Apex Cybernetics, Dr. Ilene Andrews, along with Jia and hollow-earth scientist Nathan Lind (Alexander Skarsgård) follow Kong into this hidden world beneath our feet that houses all sorts of monsters and an ancient rivalry between Kong and Godzilla (seems wacky, but it does lead to some fun developments). These characters are following Kong on his journey so when the 8th wonder of the world is put in danger, they are too. The other humans, however, feel like they only appear to deliver exposition or to give us some familiar faces. You could easily re-jig this story to remove them.
But of course, you didn't come to this film for the human element. Yes, kaiju films are better when the "tiny" protagonists are compelling, but if there's one aspect of this movie director Adam Wingard had to get right, it was the Godzilla and Kong stuff. I'm happy to say you won't be disappointed. The Titan battles are varied, clearly shot, tense and action-packed. You get three rounds between Kong and Godzilla, with a clear winner at the end that will leave fans of either camp satisfied. I know a lot of purists will say a Godzilla film isn't the same without rubber suits, but this picture does so much with modern special effects. Varied locations, varied angles, moves no human could do, etc. That last brawl in the neon-lit Hong Kong will make you say "wow!".
There have been a lot of Godzilla films since the character appeared. Some have been dramatic, others comedic or somewhere in the middle with an emphasis on dumb fun. None have featured action scenes as good as the ones in Godzilla vs. Kong. Even if you only have a passing interest in the characters, the highlights are strong, strong enough to make you forgive the parts that could've been strengthened. It's not even a guilty pleasure; it's gargantuan fun. (On Blu-ray, March 27, 2024)

If you've got 90 minutes, you don't mind subtitles (it's in Spanish, subtitled in English), you like/love slash, the older jaded cop/young innocent rookie trope, the 80s, and/or you like horses or polo (or both), you can legally watch it streaming:
on the kanopy app - with local or university library credentials - ad-free and uncensored, for Android, iPhones, and streaming devices like Roku and Amazon Firestick
Streaming on Plex at https://watch.plex.tv/movie/death-in-buenos-aires (uncensored, with ads, in Spanish with English subtitles)
Streaming on Tubi TV at https://tubitv.com/movies/644068/death-in-buenos-aires (uncensored, with ads, in Spanish with English subtitles)
On Youtube (search for Death In Buenos Aires or Muerte en Buenos Aires) For YouTube without ads, try the Brave browser with default settings
There may be censored versions available other places online. There was a no-age-walled version on Youtube in September, with the R-rated gay fellatio edited out, but it's gone now.
These links all work in the US, but I'm not sure about other countries/georestrictions.

I guess Demian didn't want to be involved in the sequel or something, but it was kind of cruel to just tell us Burke died of cholera, and leave it.
Unless, the Bishop lied, and he was the one actually wheeled off to a psych ward.

Let the Right One In (prod. Andrew Hinderaker).
Showtime’s television adaptation of the Swedish vampire horror novel and film adaptation of the same name (and American remake Let Me In) turns the horror art film into a more conventional New York City-set crime procedural with added characters and subplots.
Demián Bichir stars as the father and protector of a child vampire (a stark change from the original book and films) who must protect his daughter from the horrific realities of living undead and feeding on human blood while trying to uncover a greater conspiracy around some suspicious vampire-related murders and drug dealings. While it kind of waters down and makes many of the source material’s artistic flourishes more conventional, it proves to be a captivating episodic watch with compelling character motivations.

'Savages' - Oliver Stone Once Again Descends into a Realm of Drugs
WRITER’S NOTE: This review was written back in 2012. Some edits have been made since then to make it more interesting in the Ultimate Rabbit’s eyes. “Savages” is being looked at as Oliver Stone’s comeback movie, as if it is implied that he hasn’t made one worth watching in years. Granted, movies like “World Trade Center,” “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps” and even “W.” might have made it look…
