The new Japanese release "Godzilla Minus One" has earned rave reviews in the States. Made on what Hollywood would consider a shoestring budget of about $15 million, the movie features a compelling story, relatable human characters, and CGI effects that make you wonder why $300 million Marvel movies look like such crap. So maybe Hollywood could learn something from the Japanese about CGI-blockbuster filmmaking.

*One exception is Adam Olinger, who found the movie mediocre at best. Adam swings left politically, and it's tempting to say that it's the righties who love this new movie most, but I don't think that explains his lack of enthusiasm: Chris Stuckmann, another leftie whose reviews I watch, loved the movie, citing the compelling human story. Jeremy Jahns, yet another leftie, rated the movie "Awesometacular," if I remember correctly. Jahns went in not knowing what to expect and was blown away. Needless to say, I am now mildly curious and might end up watching the film via streaming video.
