TrolerHow daring must be a film studio to make a film applauding the acts of the Japanese Empire not only for the local, but the global market as well. One of the ways to do it, is to make a documentary, use objectivity as a shield for political play. Alternatively it can be about the individuals, who were concerned about the life of brethren than some pity war goals.

TrolerMothra Wormholed its way to Upsilon Andromedae B
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/F5OTDKU3IDOVR258.jpg)
TrolerHuman life is too short to watch every single movie about monster. There is enough time to put aside for the classics, such as Mothra. Being born after the great sensation that was Gojira it steers away from what is to be expected for a monster movie, towards the line of a detective story. Mothra, more than anything, is a symbol of resistance in the world that is defiled not so much by nuclear, but by human waste.
Westward Desperado Set the Standard of War Comedies
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/9AGEW7R8A90GS0IY.jpg)
TrolerIt could be said war and comedies don't work well together. How can anything humorous be said about the matters. Those who do must have lost their minds from the war! Cracking jokes and grinning while speaking of most horrific events in human history like it were a regular Friday night, is one of the best ways to come with the trauma. The trauma which never heals, always stays where-ever the eyes turn. Telling a story really helps get the pain off the chest. In a way, Westward Desperado is exactly just that.
Rodan (1956) jetted its way to Alpha Centauri.

TrolerHow hard is it to make a spiritual successor to one for one the most iconic stories in cinema history? One thing is certain, once the image is formed of what that franchise is about, it is difficult to divert from it. Rodan tries the difficult task of both appeasing the general audience, who want a movie about giant monsters wrecking the city and not to retell the same exact story, while keeping it in line with viewer expectations. The truth is told in this tad bit ambitious review of RODAN.
Godzilla (1954) is a choir of destruction and loss
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/HHIY42R9INXOV48T.jpg)
TrolerWhat can be said about Godzilla? It is an icon to name icons. Looking at IMDb, it is unfortunate, although expected, to find 2014 release of Godzilla has 10 times as much ratings as the original 1954 version. Even though some scenes do look pretty goofy, a lot of love was undoubtedly put into it. That love is not always felt when viewing with modern sensibilities. I attempt to remedy the poignant feeling by calculated and logical reasoning and arguments... or more so my own acuity of the work.
Max Fleischer's Superman flew to the Sun and didn't fall
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/HZP91B02YOJ1O5W3.jpg)
TrolerOh Superman, who hasn't heard the story of the classic American superhero? Even in this coming-to-close year Superman still stories are being told. Knowing that 2038 the superhero is going to be a century old, it would be good to reflect on history, where it really started. It was born in the head of then 24 Jerry Siegel, child to American immigrant Lithuanian Jews, who fled oppression. Growing up in a Jewish neighborhood, made up of immigrants who fled oppression, meant he heard a lot of stories about their suffering. The competitive character common amongst Judaic culture, is not always well regarded. In a negative environment, they had to adapt and blend in the crowd. This sort of environment together with his love for Science Fiction meant the young Siegel had a particular worldview, a Jewish one. To what extent it was present can be seen in his first major breakthrough — Superman.

TrolerChristmas is all about spreading joy and happiness to all. Sometimes the festivities pierce your heart, other times you feel as about die from loneliness. The 3 movies reviewed here feature a wide spectrum of emotions. At the end, all end on a happy note.
Angel's egg boils my heart

TrolerIt is far too easy to drown in the flow of information we have to endure. Most with to take a break from it by rejecting it all together. I say, one ought to train themselves by entertaining to a slow dance. It can be a book, or... a movie. One of such movies is Angel's Egg
The cheesy homoor of Vanamehe Film
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/EW8YBTZZRJXMA8VV.jpg)
TrolerSome movies are cheesy, some are creamy others are lactose intolerant. Vanamehe Film is just plain horny. Horny for that milk. It is no wonder milk is used as an euphemism for other type of a white liquid. That of course is the correction fluid of all the mistakes made! Was I misleading to talking about white paint? I tried it, it doesn't taste that good.
O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a middle finger to the KKK
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5b/O_brother_where_art_thou_ver1.jpg)
TrolerIn 1915, David Wark Griffith done shot a mighty picture The Birth of a Nation that glorified them horse‑riddin’ Klan men. By ’37, Archie Mayo stitched together Black Legion), a film about that very group, a splintered band of the same old Klan order. When the movie showed the Klan in a harsh light— a fascist lot—the real Klan sued. Fast forward to the turn of the millennium, the Coen brothers (Joel and Ethan) looked back at the madness of yesteryear and the even wilder present, and thought, “Let’s get them Klan members to dance.”
The somber tale of Summer of '42
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/18/Summer_of_%2742_POSTER.jpg)
TrolerSex and love are hard to miss on present block-busters. Even topics such as love between a child and an adult are discussed. In early 1970s and before it was hard to find films delving into such topics. A nostalgia film of that. The movie may start out light-hearted, it went deep so to make the illustrious Kubrick cry.
Man of fire toasts Bad Boys 2
![[thumbnail]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e8/Man_on_fireposter.jpg)
TrolerBad Boys 2 is Michael Bay's most Bayhem! film. Man of fire is a huge leap in Tony Scott's directorial career. It is depressive, slow, simple, yet affective. It is both flashy and gruesomely slow. It is both overly edited and undercut.
The White Meadows tastes like Dead Sea water
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/USRGCOZJ3K6HY28A.jpg)
TrolerThe White Meadows is a political film. At the same time is an emotional and tear squeezing movie. That is common place with such films. The strange part is how emotionally charged it is.
The Visitor is a comedic longing melancholy
![[thumbnail]](/pictures/user_upload/Troler/F4JU6O5EDNA1BTZ8.png)
TrolerIn some regard Lithuanian cinema world is small. The directors work on each other's movies. That would naturally raise questions about incest. Quite contrary, this mixing of "blood" leads to provocative and intriguing movies, not stooping down to the best of European cinema.
