I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED Godzilla vs Kong but my feelings wouldn't have been hurt if we got more Chris Chalk.

Why do I love this photo so much?!

Well... Because Chris, Erin and Benjamin are completely like: “We are good actors! We really look like we’re busy! We’re doing a great job!”

And Cory is like: “Look at me! I’m so happy! I’m just going to smile like a little boy! F*** acting, let’s just have fun!”

He basically looks like a puppy.

Review : Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

From the outside looking in, it seems as if HBOMax’s decision to air first run films on their streaming service concurrently with limited theatrical releases is doing great.  With The Little Things, Judas and the Black Messiah and Tom & Jerry all having seen their time in the sun, the next in line was the highly anticipated Godzilla vs. Kong.  With a built in cult following for both parties involved in the titular roles of the film, not to mention a trio of previous films that set up everything leading to this encounter, it really and truly feels like it’s up to Godzilla vs. Kong to mess things up for itself.  That being said, I set aside my current task of covering all of the Oscar nominees for one night and diverted my attention to the latest film to join HBOMax’s exclusive club.

On a pure spectacle level, it’s wonderfully epic seeing the likes of Kong and Godzilla butt heads, especially given that each current iteration is groundbreaking in their own right in terms of visual execution.  At the risk of venturing into spoiler territory, I will simply state that a handful of other monsters from both Kong and Godzilla’s cinematic universes show up, making the interplay between Kong, Godzilla and whichever monster inserts themselves into the mix feel like watching golden age wrestling.  The film doesn’t weigh itself down with heavy, complicated plot points or motivations… at the simplest level, one group of scientists is hoping Kong will lead them to a power source in Hollow Earth, while a cybernetics company is hoping to alter the power dynamic of Alpha Titans by luring Godzilla into a trap.  With each respective monster having its own set of “motivations”, it makes it that much more delightful when their paths suddenly cross and epic violence erupts.

As for the human element, the aforementioned plot constructs for each monster give just enough room for drama, narrative tension, cross-motivations and even the rare tender moment.  Providing a wide range of scientific disciplines serves as a surrogate for having a diaspora of characters, as the general public is left mostly out of the film other than the occasional reaction shot of crowds running for their lives.  Basically, we are given a pair of base-level suspense plots that, combined with the main event of monster versus monster, allow for a shared narrative support system, and with a bit of creative mixing, the stories are made relative to one another so that it doesn’t feel like we are watching three different movies.  Other than a few key moments, the humans are mostly left to human affairs, while the stars of the show are allowed to get their epic monster on, especially once all of the narratives get a bit of steam going behind them.

It could likely go without saying, but the special effects and character generation for this film are beyond breathtaking, as the way that Kong and Godzilla occupy space is truly intimidating (when it’s not outright terrifying).  The sound design is also larger than life, which it needs to be in order to match the overwhelming amounts of energy and raw tension coming off of the screen.  The score is heavy on the traditional side, but it matches every emotional and action-filled beat it needs to in order to sell the tone it needs to at any given moment.  The execution of the HEAV ships that travel to Hollow Earth is striking, with every aspect you can think of standing out (interior and exterior design, flight effects, thruster effects and so on).  The numerous locales are used to great effect with every world or space having a distinctly vivid and immersive feel to them.

Bryan Tyree Henry is wonderfully paranoid while still managing to be cool and calculated in both his choices and perception of others.  Rebeca Hall stands determined and focused in her attempts to understand Kong, while displaying a maternal love for Kong and Jia.  Speaking of Jia, Kaylee Hottle does some extremely nuanced work in a wordless performance, standing as the clear heart and soul of the film.  Alexander Skarsgård masks a loose cannon tendency with faux confidence that is fueled by blind dedication to his mission.  Millie Bobby Brown brings a youthful energy and bold curiosity to the table, along with a need for closure in regard to the loss she mentions on occasion.  Eiza González uses an all-business attitude along with a deeply perceptive nature, and while kind, she is stern in her statements and actions.  Julian Dennison brings much needed levity to the table, and his natural chemistry with Bryan Tyree Henry allows Henry the chance to play a bit straighter and in more of a lead capacity.  Appearances by Shun Oguri, Lance Reddick, Kyle Chandler, a wonderfully villainous Demián Bichir, Hakeem Kae-Kazim, Ronny Chieng, John Pirruccello, Chris Chalk and more fill out the cast.

Confession time : I have not seen the previous three films in this franchise.  I’ve had every intention to, and if not for my current deep dive into the Oscars and the closing of my John Carpenter ranking list, I would have done so.  With that in mind, I can honestly state that this film is incredibly enjoyable, even if you aren’t up to speed with the previous three films.  I imagine going back to watch those films with the knowledge gained from Godzilla vs. Kong will make for an interesting experience, and will likely enhance my eventual revisitation of this film.

Juliet Rylance and Matthew Rhys in Perry Mason (HBO 2020)  HBO and the Downeys gave us the origin story we didn't know we needed. I love this show. It is a film noir at it's best. It starts in 1932 Los Angeles in a low lit room with a sadistic violence to something so pure and of course, all roads lead to despair and corruption on high. As well as a stoic and almost compulsory agreement with darkness.  I watched the original series as reruns as a kid. Okay, sure, I was a weird kid, Robert Mitchum was my idol and all the other kids liked the Six Million Dollar Man. Go figure. I remember having a conversation with my studio partner Chas in our 20s about how Paul Drake was really doing all the heavy lifting and Perry was reaping the rewards. But the show certainly left an impression on me. With this new show. Mason puts in the labor too along with Della and Paul and it's a ride and a half. Great cast and I honestly can't wait for another season. #perrymason #dellastreet #matthewrhys #artistsonintsagram #tatianamaslany #series #dellaandperry #johnlithgow #julietrylance #erlestanleygardner #artwork #rewatch #pauldrake #chrischalk #williamtalman #hamiltonburger #filmnoir #noir #film #cinema #susandowney blackandwhite #movies #movie #bnw #digitalart #hollywood #robertdowneyjr #clipstudiopaint #femmefatale  #shawnvanbriesen (at West Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwAk17goT0/?igshid=91sh84c8kbyy

Inspirado em uma operação de resgate extraordinária, 'Missão no Mar Vermelho' é a história de um grupo de agentes secretos que no começo dos anos 80 usaram um resort de férias no Sudão como fachada para o transporte de milhares de refugiados para Israel. A equipe responsável pela operação é liderada pelo carismático Ari Levinson (Chris Evans) e pelo corajoso etíope Kabede Bimro (Michael Kenneth Williams). O grande elenco conta ainda com Haley Bennett, Alessandro Nivola, Michiel Huisman, Chris Chalk, Greg Kinnear e Ben Kingsley. #Netflix #fatosreais #missaoderesgate #refugiados #dicacinematografica #missaonomarvermelho #anos80 #sudao #judeus #chrisevans #haleybennett #alessandronivola #michielhuisman #chrischalk #gregkinnear #benkingsley #vanessafontanaoficial #dicafilme #dicanetflix https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pmSMQpH1B/?igshid=vbouwytfkrvt
