Hey everyone! It's time to add a new segment to the blog called, The Godzilla Files! I've been wanting to attempt to run through all of the Godzilla films, from the original black and white masterpiece all the way to the newest entries of the series, and seeing that I've already tackled a number of these cult classic wonders, I've decided to just keep this Kaiju train rolling on and review every single one of these fantastically outrageous films.
