Watch out for Dreams on Fire!

I really can't wait to see this film! It's an independent feature shot in Tokyo and directed by Philippe McKie. His shorts "Breaker" and "Be My First" were extremely well done with the first being cyberpunk and reminding me a lot of excellent old-school sci-fi anime while the second was his take on Japan's legendary pink films. Both had phenomenal cinematography with exciting original storytelling. Dreams on Fire provides an exhilarating and intoxicating look into Japanese dance and subculture communities. This movie has already won a bunch of awards at film festivals and the trailer alone is outstanding. I'm dying to see this. I think all artists can relate to the struggle of the main character, just constantly working hard and trying your best to break through while not giving up. We all know how difficult that is. You can watch that trailer below along with his previous short "Breaker."

New Godzilla (2014) Teaser Trailer

I'm absolutely dying to see this. The 1998 Roland Emmerich piece of shit was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and of course, Zilla was nothing but an embarrassing insult to the true King of the Monsters. Yes, I love Godzilla especially the original 1954 film and the 1985/1984 classic. I haven't been a fan of Toho's latest output (note: big fan of Shin Godzilla but this was written before that). It has been full of craptacular CGI even Final Wars, which I could barely sit through despite Zilla getting a wonderful death (too bad the fights were so short). I think Legendary knows exactly what to do with this as evidenced by employing Frank Darabont to help with rewrites and their smart choice of director. If you didn't see Gareth Edwards' first film Monsters, you should, because it was quite good especially for a micro-budget debut so here's hoping he nails this. So far, the tone is perfect, and Bryan Cranston definitely raises it up a notch. Not to mention, David Strathairn. I do prefer the original proof-of-concept Comic Con teaser, which this includes enhanced bits of, but this isn't too bad either. I just want to see it... now.
