Silver Screen Spook Show: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
January 30, 2009 at 12:48 pm by Curt Holman in A&E, EventsOn Sat., Jan. 31 at 1 and 10 p.m., The Plaza Theater’s monthly Silver Scream Spook Show presents a movie with one of the all-time great titles, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. From 2001, it’s the 25th film about Godzilla, the famed fire-breathing dinosaur mutant. Godzilla’s behavior has fluctuated over the decades from evil to good to insipid “friend of children” and back again, and Giant Monsters All-Out Attack finds the radioactive reptile back to being evil, like a classic recidivist. His former adversaries like Mothra and King Ghidorah rise to protect Japan from Godzilla’s rampage. It’s great fun, but frankly, not quite as impressive as director Shusuke Kaneko’s previous giant monster film, Gamera III: The Awakening of Iris, which is one of the best (if least-appreciated) Japanese “man-in-suit” monster flicks ever made. Here’s a couple of mini-trailers for Giant Monsters All-Out Attack: enjoy the weird toy commercials that come with them:
