Godzilla Minus Zero has made franchise history and Ghidorah really is in it
Godzilla Minus One did something that few people expected. It took a monster that had been appearing on cinema screens for nearly 70 years, returned him to devastated post-war Japan and produced a film in which the human story was every bit as important as the kaiju destruction. Then it won Godzilla his first Academy Award. Takashi Yamazaki now has the difficult job of following it. His answer is Godzilla Minus Zero, a direct sequel set two years later in 1949. The film had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival on 26 September 2026 and will open in

Movie Villains Who Actually Had a Point (They Were Just… Very Dramatic About It)
Villains in movies have a habit of ruining their own argument. Not because their point is bad, but because somewhere between “I have a valid concern” and “here’s my plan,” they take a hard left into kidnapping, elaborate traps or trying to destroy civilisation. That’s the tragedy of a good villain. Sometimes, if they had just calmed down and spoken to someone — maybe over coffee, maybe in therapy — they could have resolved the whole thing in under an hour and saved everyone a lot of trouble. But then we wouldn’t have a movie. And if we are being
