By Catholic News Service Entertaining bit of outsized nonsense combining 1970s-style disaster movie spectacle with the even older altered-animal trope that gave the world Godzilla, and derived in part from the video arcade game of the same title. When a space station is destroyed, the DNA-changing chemical an evil corporation (led by Malin Akerman and […]

The Catholic News Service classification is A-II -- adults and adolescents. (CNS photo/Fox Searchlight)

Feared as disease carriers, all dogs are banished from a Japanese city by its formidable and corrupt mayor (voice […]
