GODZILLA

Gareth Edwards, who created the muted and brilliant Monsters, has now been given the reins for (another) reboot of Godzilla--arguably the biggest, most overblown monster movie in history. Edwards financed his brain child for only $15,000--something that will probably be surpassed on the opening credits.

The last Godzilla film was enormous, expensive mess by Roland Emmerich. Not a surprise, seeing that it's the man behind Independence Day (1996), The Day After Tomorrow (2004), 10,000 BC (2008), and 2012 (2009).

Not that we need any more rehashing in Hollywood, but I'm willing to give Edwards a little leeway after seeing his first triumph.
