Honda

Japanese director Ishiro Honda is The Godfather of many Godzilla movies. The series started in 1954 and is still running. There was a 50th anniversary movie in 2004. You can find some Godzilla entries on my blog. Instead of posting another episode, I will post some (re/search) links for you that are interested.

The legend originates from the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This triggered a gene-mutant-monster called Godzilla
and some more of his angry friends.

This is a nice-to-know background story to appreciate these flicks. It's probably a kind of way for Japan to cope with these defining national events (...).

Production quality from the Tokyo Toho studios is comparable with Hollywood; high. And the movies are always very entertaining.

The Godzilla movies are under-estimated and kind of hidden-cult in the west and that is a shame. They are on the same level as (say) the Hollywood 'Batman' or 'Spiderman' series; though most of these Godzilla movies were from the 1950's and 1960's.

I am a fan of Honda's Godzilla.

Parker

Bob Hoskins

The Butler-Driver-Gardener gets emotionally involved with Her Ladyship; a well known romantic theme since "Lady Chatterley's Lover". I always suspected a behind-the-scenes relation between Parker and Penelope .

Bob Hoskins (George) gets involved with his Black Ladyship in this 1986 'Mona Lisa' movie. George is out of prison and agrees to chauffeur hi-class call-girl Simone (Cathy Tyson). At first they hate each other, but things can change for the better or for the worse. When Simone asks George to find a friend of hers that she lost contact with, he dives into the sordid underbelly of the UK sexprotution world.

This film hit me right between the eyes when I saw it the first time. It still is impressive. Bob Hopkins and Michael Caine are among my favorite UK actors.

'Do you have a big white rabbit with long floppy ears?' (05:50 minutes). That quote must be inspired by the Monty Python heritage. But for the remaining part this is a great movie.

Some fan wrote;
This was an unexpected treat, knowing next to nothing about it, save for the fact that I admire Bob Hoskins, Michael Caine, and Robbie Coltrane all. Cathy Tyson was merely ok in the film & sadly Coltrane is pretty much wasted as Thomas. But both Hoskins and Caine are superb. Sadly, in America at least, Bob Hoskins is known to the non-cinema masses as merely Eddie from "What ever happened to Roger Rabbit?" & "That guy from Hook". This is a shame, as he's an amazing actor.
