Movie Favorite Watch

"Oh, The Godfather. If it gets any better than that… I mean, it’s so beautifully shot. I’m not a fan of violent movies, but that one is such an epic film. The violence is part and parcel of the story they’re telling, so, it’s legitimate. In a weird way, I find there’s no gratuitous violence in it. Even though there’s a lot of shooting in that thing, every time there’s a shootout, I found it upsetting and horrifying as opposed to films which just trade on mowing human beings down. Those I find pornographic and not sad. I think it does damage to our society, personally."

Kaijumax is about huge monsters that are in prison. Humans round them up to contain them so that they don't destroy their cities. It's a funny, violent story about the monsters trying to survive inside of their maximum-security prison. Reading the words that they use for curse words took some getting used to, but they're repeated often enough that you remember fairly quickly. There is a lot of actual drama going on in the story from all angles. The illustrations are cute and brightly colored, so it's definitely fun to look at, but the story, itself, is funny, gory, and sometimes intense. It's definitely not a series for young children!
