  • Godzilla Heisei Series

    In 1984, the Japanese film company, Toho Co., Ltd. launched the second series of Godzilla films.

  • Star Trek: The Motion Picture

    I just watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture on Netflix Watch-it-now. This particular version of the movie appears to be the original, not the director’s cut with the new CG special effects.
