Bonkers Japanese sci-fi from the Godzilla team makes most of those movies look like models of restraint and gritty realism. Odd things are afoot in Japan as seemingly random objects - coal, trucks, bank robbers, buildings - start spontaneously floating into the air. 'I never jump to conclusions but I think a giant space monster is probably responsible,' says the lead cop investigating the case. Of course, he is correct, and it's up to the usual team of cops, scientists, and soldiers to save the day.

The really weird thing about Dogora - and this is saying something - is that the giant diamond-eating monster element is not the oddest thing about this film. Most of it looks and feels like a particularly frantic cops-and-robbers thriller with the odd giant floating blob sequence edited in under protest. Still, the script has Shinichi Sekizawa's usual cheerful wit and the special effects are, believe it or not, excellent. Good fun if you like tokusatsu movies; the climax, in which wasp venom is used to try and petrify the monster and a gun battle turns into a dynamite-chucking contest, has to be seen to be believed.

Second installment down! Happily, it was as easy & enjoyable to,plow through as the first. I still hold firm to my belief that Dexter is one of the best characters in modern writing. This book finds Dexter & his Dark Passenger tangling with & even admiring the handiwork of a monster even more horrific than he is.

I enjoyed how each individual story had a completelydifferent and unique monster that was dealt with differently each time. The ending was great and left me wanting to pick up the next book immediately. The only small downside was I was a little confused for a small section of the story in the middle.

What in the world did I just watch?! Two animated young people find themselves trapped in some odd monster hotel. Coupled with Michael Jackson showing up throughout the show as different characters, the storyline was weird. At least they did do Thriller at the end. The show's idea was okay. The execution, not so much.

Several difficult and sensitive subjects handled very well and delicately without shying away from the reality. The Monster teaches such important lessons that are good for children and adults who have forgotten. Lessons about good and evil, humanity and most importantly letting go and moving on in the face of despair. Beautiful, just beautiful

I can't say I've played the game it's based on but had hoped for a good monster movie. Unfortunately another poor video game made into a film. There isn't a lot of variety or dialogue making the film a little bland. Some good fight scenes and special effects are the only things going for it.
