The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: Godzilla 1954

In this extra large episode of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews, I’ll delve deep into the creation of one of the most famous giant monsters in movie history, Godzilla.  Born out of post-World War II Japanese sensibilities, Godzilla has gone on to star in nearly thirty films over the years, but none are as dark, ominous, and captivating as the original 1954 black-and-white film that started it all.  This episode fully explores the origin of the ideas for Godzilla and includes a review the the Criterion Collection Blu-ray release with its hearty helping of special features that are sure to please fans and non-fans alike!  The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is hosted by David Rose.And don't forget to hit the HD button on the video player!

The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews: Batman The 1966 Movie

In the monumental twentieth episode of The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews, we'll celebrate the lighter side of The Dark Knight by delving deep into the 1966 Batman movie starring Adam West and Burt Ward as the Dynamic Duo.  One can't do this film justice, though, without giving full insight into the classic TV series that the film was tied in with and to fully appreciate this more comedic take on Batman and Robin, I'll also discuss the dire state of comic books at the time.  I'll then reveal some additional DVD titles that no 60's Bat-fan should be without.  We probably wouldn't have the Batman we know and love today if it wasn't for this TV show and movie, so sit back and enjoy the full (and long) story behind the phenomenon that made Batman a pop culture staple.  The DVD Shelf Movie Reviews is hosted by David Rose.
