Film 250/365, Day 270/365 – Godzilla

Mindless fun that maybe went on just a little too long.  For the record I quite enjoy Godzilla but bizarrely the script was one of the most closely guarded secrets of Hollywood and it probably shouldn’t have been.  One thing you do get with Godzilla is some excellent action sequences and a brilliant soundtrack, it is however 139 minutes long and they could have squeezed it into 100!

Synopsis:  Following some strange occurrences a group of scientists are gathered together without any knowledge of why.  Soon they discover that a mutated giant reptile is headed towards New York City and they need to find a way to stop it.

Film 237/365, Day 250/365 – Mystery Men

It’s funny and silly in equal parts.  All of the characters have their moments but sadly they also kind of go off the boil every now and then.  It is still very funny although I think the villains are almost better than the heroes especially Geoffrey Rush and Eddie Izzard.

Synopsis:  A group of amateur superheroes find that they are the only hope to save their city from the evil clutches of Casanova Frankenstein.  Mr Furious, the Blue Raja and Shoveler will need to get more help if they are to defeat Casanova!
