Travis
Irby

Godzilla
is one of the
all-time
greatest cin
ematic mon-
s t e r s .
Looking like
a cross
between an
avocado and
a dragon,
this fire
belching
behemoth
has stomped
countless Japanese cities. The big
G has starred in over 20 films,
including a "new and improved"
version playing in theaters now.
One might ask how the origi
nal Godzilla could be improved.
After all, no military force has
been able to stop it. Aliens have
failed to beat it, as well as just
about every overgrown insect,
ape and dinosaur. It seems it
would be hard to improve upon
such success.
Leave it to Hollywood to try
anyway. In this summers
Godzilla, there, is no more thun
der-thighed reptile the public has
come to love. Instead, this Neo-
Godzilla looks more like the her-
petological equivalent of a heroin-
chic model.
The new Godzilla also suffers
from some sort of gender confu
sion. This would explain why
he/she spends most or the movie
running from the military instead
of exterminating it. Maybe this
Godzilla is looking for a public
restroom, but is unsure of which
one to use.
The new Godzilla is as fertile
as one of those welfare mothers
Newt Gingrich is always com
plaining about, producing a cou
ple hundred brood. But one might
ask Steven Spielberg for a blood
test — the
baby 'zillas
look a little
bit like those
velociraptors
from Jurassic
Park. If
Godzilla
is preg-
nant,
maybe
they should
try to placate it
with peanut butter
and pickles.
The truth is if any Godzilla
deserves to bake the Big Apple, it
should be the classic Godzilla.
The cranky hermaphrodite that is
Neo-Godzilla would be more at
home on "The Jerry Springer
Show" than wrecking a major
city. (Possible Springer episode
title: "Your Lizard is a Lady")
Godzilla is known as the king
of all monsters, not the queen.
There are already plenty of those
roaming the streets of New York.
Gone is Godzilla's feared
atomic breath. It has been
replaced by some bad breath that
can ignited like a noxious fart.
There are two things synonymous
with Godzilla. One is being a big,
bipedal lizard with plates on its
back. The other is radioactive fire
coming out of its gullet. If some
one is going to create a Godzilla
without those two traits, they
might as well make a chimp
chewing gum, because it will not
be the king of all monsters.
The great Godzilla isn't a
mutated dinosaur anymore — it
is an irradiated iguana. A conse
quence of such an origin could be
the nation's children running out
to pet stores. America's youth
would purchase baby iguanas for
microwave use, in attempt to cre
ate their own Godzilla. No one
/
ever had to worry about this
g roblem with the old Godzilla,
ecause one, where would one
find a dinosaur? And second,
how would it fit in a
microwave?
Special effects can be
g reat, but the guy in rub
er suit approach seemed
a hell of a lot more fun
than today's $120 million
screen saver. There was
always great enj
ment in watching
an actor in an
elaborate ^
Halloween
costume
destroy
ing toy
cities, wnile
dubbed per- V
formers mouthed
words of terror heard
by the audience five min
utes after being spoken.
It is a common human dream
to don heavy rubber and ter
rorize people. People live vic
ariously through the old
Godzilla movies. After all,
the only people who can
make a career out of this
are professional domina- j
trixes and the guy in the ' A
Godzilla suit. ■
The new Godzilla is /fl
Godzilla in name only.
Comparing the old and ■
new is like comparing ^
Classic Coke to New Coke. 1
New Coke was an unfortu- '
nate marketing blip — heavi
ly promoted, nut lacking the
soul of the original. Hopefully,
like Classic Coke, Classic
Godzilla will reign supreme
once again. ^

Movie Wrap-Up
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
Starring Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro
Directed by Terry Gilliam
Rated R
Playing at Post Oak Cinema
The movie adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's novel could also
be titled "Lifestyles of the Stoned and Psychotic." Tear and Loathing
follows the adventures of the drugged up duo of Raoul Duke and
his attorney Dr. Gonzo through the City of Sin, Las Vegas. Sin they
do, as the pair consume every drug known to man and then some.
They trip in and out of the city's hotels and casinos, encountering
dwarves, lizards and cops. The film is one long series of drugged
induced hallucinations, appealing both visually and comedically.
The film is not for everyone with its heavy drug use, but those
who enjoy satire of drug culture will dig it.
Verdict: C+
Deep Impact
Starring Tea Leoni, Morgan Freeman and Robert Duvall
Directed by Mimi Leder
Rated PG-13
Playing at Hollywood 16 and Schulman 6
The first of the summer's space-objects-hitting-Earth movies. Deep
Impact offers more drama than action, with satisfying results. The
Earth is in the path of a world destroying comet and everyone must
figure out how to survive. Solid performances compliment the film's
nice effects.
Verdict: B

THE
PRINCETON
REVIEW
by Travis li
Starring Jada Pinkett and Tommy Davidson
Directed by Daisy V.S. Meyer
Rated R
Playing at Hollywood 16
Woo (Jada Pinkett) is one heck of a woman. The kind of wo
that turns men into mush and always gets her way. Tommy Davii
plays her blind date, a straight arrow type, who doesn't knowi
ne is getting in to. This basis for the blind date disaster movie Ht
The movie suffers from a bad case of cliche-itis, by not breal
any new ground with a familiar concept. Pinkett is charming,bn
her cuteness can't save this dull film.
Verdict: C-
Bulworth
Starring Warren Beatty and Halle Berry
Directed by Warren Beatty
Rated R
Playing at Post Oak Cinema
An ambitious poke at politics, Bulworth follows the exploits
down trodden U.S. senator trying to kill himself. In the midstofa
eling California primary Senator Jay Bulworth takes out a $10 mil
life insurance policy and then hire someone to kill him. All of sudd
Bulworth starts speaking the truth about American politics
becomes wildly popular.
The movie is funny and strange, but maybe mostly latter to
those of a more conservative political nature.
Verdict: B-
