DESCRIPTION:\n	In the vein of vintage NYC weekly monster movie TV programs 
 such as Creature Features or the shlock shows of the American drive-in the
 ater\, Disreputable Cinema presents a creature double feature starring the
  King of the Monsters\, Godzilla! \n\n\n	Gojira. Dir. Ishiro Honda. 1954\,
  98 mins. Restored DCP. In Japanese with English subtitles.With Takashi Sh
 imura\, Akira Takarada\, Momoko Kochi\, Akihiko Hirata. The horrors of nuc
 lear destruction were rendered B-movie poetry in this landmark Japanese me
 ga-hit that launched the legendary Godzilla series and gave birth to the f
 antastical kaiju eiga (monster movie) and tokusatsu (special effects) genr
 es of film. Awakened by the blasts of H-bomb tests\, the prehistoric\, fla
 me-spewing Godzilla rises from the ocean floor for an epic rampage through
  the streets of Tokyo. While the Americanization of this picture (starring
  Raymond Burr) was a favorite amongst monster kids for decades\, it was al
 ways a low budget afterthought in the minds of many film critics. However\
 , opinions quickly changed when the original\, uncut Gojira finally arrive
 d in the U.S. in 2004 for Godzilla’s 50th anniversary. Since then\, 1954’s
  Gojira has rightfully been considered a masterpiece and remains unmatched
  in its urgency\, poignancy\, and the boldness with which it recreates ima
 ges of mass destruction and chaos that echo Japan’s devastation in World W
 ar II. \n\n\n	Followed by: \n\n\n	Godzilla vs. Monster Zero. Dir. Ishiro H
 onda. 1965\, 94 mins. Digital projection. English-dubbed version. With Nic
 k Adams\, Akira Takarada\, Kumi Mizuno\, Akira Kubo. When an alien race fr
 om Planet X request help in ridding them of the fear of King Ghidorah (cod
 ename: Monster Zero)\, the Earth gladly exchanges Godzilla and Rodan for a
  miracle cure for all disease. However\, when the aliens return to Earth w
 ith all three kaiju under their control\, they reveal their true intention
 s of global conquest! What will humanity do? Originally released in Japan 
 under the title Kaiju Daisenso (the Great Monster War)\, Godzilla vs. Mons
 ter Zero is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the Godzilla franchis
 e. In the history of the series\, this film is landmark as the full transf
 ormation of the King of the Monsters from atomic abomination to saurian su
 perhero. While some critics have bemoaned this character development\, and
  the film’s lighter\, cheesier tone\, G-fans champion it for the likeable 
 cast\, inventive story\, and colorful kaiju antics that all make for one o
 f the grandest spectacles in science fiction history. \n	\n	\n	Tickets: $1
