After a lengthy wait, it’s finally here! Godzilla is back on the big screen and yes it is way better than that 1998 travesty. Though I have to warn viewers, if you’re only in it for big fight/action sequences, you might be disappointed. Anyway, the cast for the movie is pretty solid and you can catch Elizabeth Olsen in part of that ensemble. 

After the jump, news on other monster flicks, a look into the 2014 fall TV season, the decline of movie-going experiences, don’t blink or you’ll miss The Flash and catch the fan made trailer for Akira.

Game of Thrones gets the Law and Order treatment.

Hollywood has always been salivating at the idea of adapting Akira to the big screen but they have always encountered some sort of roadblock along the way. Whether it is the story or the ballooning budget, it has never made its way past the development stages. Anyway, The Akira Project shows us that it can be made and a crowd-funded trailer has been produced and it looks solid enough to get filmmakers to give it another consideration.
