Though he may not have as many legendary novels under his belt, Barker is another master of horror that has found some solid success in the film world.

From the beginning filmmaker David Gordon Green has had an omnivorous taste and modeled his career after directors like Steven Soderbergh or Gus Van Sant, able to handle indies, studio films, and everything in between. The result is Green has made a lot of films over the years, but aside from the mainstream comedies for Judd Apatow, not many have been super successful financially. That finally changed with Green’s 2018 “Halloween,” remake which made $255 million worldwide, far and away the filmmaker’s biggest hit.

Maybe it’s just some ingrained love of big monsters destroying cities, but for some reason, I’m a complete sucker for anything related to Godzilla. So, when the reboot arrived in theaters back in 2014, I fell for it, hook, line, and sinker. And even though the sequel “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” hasn’t really explored much in the way of plot in its first few trailers, there’s something majestic and horrifying watching these massive monsters fighting on land.

To many a casual consumer of Hollywood monster movies, “Godzilla: King of the Monsters” will be seen as a mere warm-up round to the colossal crossover smackdown that is 2020’s “Godzilla vs. Kong.” But for the learned aficionado of Kaiju cinema (the kind who’s already seen the giant ape triumph over the big lizard in 1962’s “King Kong vs. Godzilla”), next year’s multi-monster melee is the real main event.

When Gareth Edwards exited “Godzilla 2” earlier this year, the word on his departure was that he wanted to focus on his own smaller-scale movies once he wrapped “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.” Little did we know that a couple of months later, the internet would explode with rumors about the “Star Wars” spinoff, with hired guns coming in assist (or take over) the extensive reshoots ordered by Disney and Lucasfilm.
