“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” – William Shakespeare
If this is the type of movie that you like, you will like this one. I’ll give it a grade of good to very good mostly because of the visual effects.
I saw this movie on Tuesday in an IMAX theater with great surround sound. The picture was just terrific. It was wonderful to see monsters, airplanes, total destruction, and landscapes in IMAX.
The movie takes place in 1049. In the beginning, a monster named Ghidorah destroys a lot of Tokyo and this apparently vanquished. Except he decides to mutate at this point.
Unexpectedly, Godzilla, who was thought to have been destroyed, regenerates on the other side of the country. The humans plot to have the two of them meet and fight, and therefore one would be destroyed, and one would be weakened. Well, if that had worked out, it would’ve only been an hour movie. The monsters would need again and the humans would have to plot to destroy them.
Now there is no real heavy plot between the romantic couple and those that would destroy the monsters. You kinda can guess where it’s going. So you’re just kind of sit back at an IMAX theater and watch total destruction.
Again, for a movie of this type, it was a lot of fun and there’s nothing here to take seriously. Although it was ironic that I was watching two hideous creatures fighting each other on election day.

From the Film Masters press release:
Film Masters Announces Machine Gun Kelly (1958 ) Cannes Festival 2026 Official Selection Charles Bronson explodes onto the screen in Roger Corman’s hard-hitting crime classic in 4K UHD! Hot off its triumphant global celebration as an Official Selection at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, Film Masters today announced its explosive entry into the ultra-high-definition market with its very first 4K UHD physical media release: Roger Corman’s Machine Gun Kelly (1958 ). Slated for a definitive two-disc UHD/Blu-ray release on December 15th, released for the first time since its original 1958 theatrical window, and completely restored to its native, ultra-wide Superscope aspect ratio. This landmark project marks a major industry coup for the boutique archival label. Machine Gun Kelly (1958 ) is a crime drama directed by legendary filmmaker Roger Corman and starring Charles Bronson in a landmark early performance. Based loosely on the criminal exploits of George “Machine Gun” Kelly, a small-time gangster who became larger than life, the film delivers a tense portrait of ambition, paranoia, and the violent underworld of Depression-era America. This release will include a BD-100 UHD disc, with the feature and trailer in Dolby Vision HDR, as well as an accompanying BD-50 Blu-ray disc with the film and special features. Long before he became an international action star, Charles Bronson took center stage as George “Machine Gun” Kelly, a bank robber whose fearsome reputation is matched by a deeply buried insecurity. With his partner-in-crime, Florence “Flo” Becker ( Susan Cabot), urging him toward ever more audacious schemes, Kelly finds himself caught in a dangerous cycle of violence and desperation. When his crimes escalate from bank robbery to kidnapping, the stakes rise and the law closes in. As Kelly’s gang fractures and pressure mounts, his carefully cultivated image of a fearless outlaw begins to crumble. Masterfully directed and produced by Roger Corman, Machine Gun Kelly exemplifies Corman’s ability to transform lean, independent productions into compelling cinema. Corman and screenwriter R. Wright Campbell look beyond the familiar mythology of the gangster film to explore a criminal driven as much by insecurity as by ambition. The result is a taut crime drama that combines the urgency of a heist thriller with the psychological tension of film noir. Susan Cabot brings a formidable presence to Flo Becker, while Morey Amsterdam co-stars as Michael Fandango, the stuttering criminal whose fortunes become entangled with Kelly’s increasingly desperate schemes. For Bronson, the film marked a significant turning point, placing him at the center of a feature-length production and foreshadowing the commanding screen presence that would define his later career. With its stark black-and-white cinematography, hard-edged performances, and unflinching view of criminal ambition, Machine Gun Kelly remains a compelling entry in the crime-film canon—and an essential discovery for fans of Bronson, Corman, classic Hollywood noir, and vintage gangster pictures. “Stepping into the 4K UHD arena is a massive watershed moment for Film Masters, and there is no project more poetically fitting to lead our expansion than Roger Corman’s Machine Gun Kelly,” said President Phil Hopkins. “To have Julie Corman personally reach out and entrust our team with this film is the honor of a lifetime. Since launching Film Masters in 2023, we have poured everything into preserving Roger’s unmatched cinematic footprint. Celebrating this breathtaking new transfer on the global stage at Cannes was an unforgettable tribute to Roger’s genius, and we are thrilled to bring the absolute definitive physical media presentation of this crime classic to his many fans.” SPECIAL FEATURES: - ● Full-length audio commentary by film historians C. Courtney Joyner and Mark Jordan Legan.
- ● New documentary, Micro Budget Maverick: Roger Corman At AIP in the 1950s, by Ballyhoo Motion Pictures.
- ● New documentary, This is Superama, by Ballyhoo Motion Pictures.

Cool to see a Corman movie get a 4K release like this. It's hard to overstate just how much of an impact he had on cinema, from finding and nurturing talent to finding creative ways to make movies, his legacy was huge.

Thanks for the review, David. I've got the 4K reserved from our library, so I'll keep expectations low.

Had lunch today with a friend who's got an older Blu-ray player that recently died, and a bunch of older DVDs & BDs. Advised him to grab a Sony UBP-X700 while it's still available. It seems to be still showing up in a few places. I did a little looking around for potential alternatives, and not surprisingly there aren't many. LG, Panasonic, a new Chinese brand that I never heard of, Krovatar. Plus a couple of niche higher end ones like the Magnetar.
While checking on the X700 I saw an article on Tom's Guide from just over a year ago leading with a blurb "Thanks to support from Sony, 4K Blu-rays are here to stay". Oops....
When I first read that, I thought you said you had lunch with a friend that recently died. (It just was Halloween season after all.) It really would be a punch to the gut if Sony really gives up on the format. That said, it's not a bad idea to keep an eye out during Black Friday for a backup player. I've been happy with my Panny players over the years.

 Studio: Warner Brothers Release Date: November 3, 2026 Rating: PG-13 Film: 2.5/5 Plot After a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburbia and transports their neighborhood to someplace unknown, the Platt family soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings. My Thoughts The film is set in 1982 and follows the Platt family as they navigate the struggles of everyday suburban life. Denise (Anne Hathaway) has secret dreams of becoming a writer, while Greg (Ewan McGregor) hides his own secret that weighs on the entire family. Their two children know something is amiss but when a cosmic event suddenly transports the entire neighborhood into a prehistoric world populated by dinosaurs and other deadly creatures, surviving is the only thing that matters. First off, I love 80s nostalgia as much as the next guy who grew of age during the era, and on paper, this should have been a movie that my wife and I could easily connect with—and we did for the first act. It does a good job establishing the Platt family and their struggles, but once the “event” happens, subplots from the first act are mostly discarded and the movie really struggles to find its footing. Is it a family drama? A sci-fi mystery? A horror film? An 80s throwback? Unfortunately, the answer seems to be “all of the above” and none of the elements are developed enough to leave much of an impact. Hathaway and McGregor are both solid, and there are a few sequences that are really well done with the prehistoric creatures, but those moments are few and far between. Writer/Director David Robert Mitchell is a competent filmmaker and does a good job of the technical aspects of the film, but the script is paper thin and has so many elements borrowed from other films that it really fails to create its own unique identity. While I found the film somewhat lacking, the 4k UHD presentation was excellent. Warner’s transfer takes full advantage of HDR and the 1980s suburbia featured in the opening act is warm and inviting with vibrant colors that make Oak Steet look and feel authentic. The encode really shines when the film transitions to the prehistoric setting and the palette expanded with lush greens, dense jungle, and the creature effects from ILM are outstanding. The Dolby Atmos track alone makes this worth at least one viewing. From the first cosmic event to the various dinosaur encounters, the mix remains active, immersive, and highly engaging. Bass response is excellent with dinosaur footsteps, collapsing structures, and action sequences that really open up the soundstage. Environmental effects such as rain, creature movements, and panning effects put every speaker in the room to good use and this is the type of presentation that can be used to demo for friends and family. Video 9/10 Audio 10/10 (Dolby Atmos) Special Features: - Banding Together: The Making of The End of Oak Street
- Every Creature Tells a story: The Dinosaurs of Oak Street
- The Spinosaurus Atack: Driving Feat on Oak Street
- UHD Blu-ray + Digital Code
ConclusionThis isn’t a bad movie, per se, but it’s ultimately a disappointing one. It has an interesting premise and enough visual stimulation to keep it entertaining, but it never really delivers the goods. The nostalgia of the time period doesn’t really add much to the overall story and the film struggles to find its footing after the first 30 minutes or so. The presentation almost makes up for the screenplay’s shortcomings, but the only reason to own this disc is to use some of the action scenes in your demo reel.
