First Lines: P.G. Wodehouse - Mike
It was a morning in the middle of April, and the Jackson family were consequently breakfasting in comparative silence.
Shin Gojira (2016)
Japan is plunged into chaos upon the appearance of a giant monster.
Likeable resurgence of the original Godzilla monster successfully combines old-fashioned and modern digital effects, but is quite talkative and without much of a focus on a central cast.

The Giant Claw (1957)
Global panic ensues when it is revealed that a mysterious UFO is actually a giant bird that flies at supersonic speed and has no regard for life or architecture.
Pretty bad B-picture is watchable for its unbelievably makeshift monster bird, clunky performances and risible science.
Halliwell (no star): "Incompetent horror item: the bird is mostly talons and sound track."
Maltin*1/2: "Lack of decent special effects ruins the running battle between colossal bird and fighter jets. Big bird is laughable."
