Godzilla Vs Biollante
»rank: 222
: :Five years after Godzilla 1985, the giant gray one awakens from his hibernation to take on his most unusual enemy, a towering mutant rosebush, the result of an ill-conceived genetics experiment.

Godzilla is still ...

Split Second is not so much a movie as a cinematic crib sheet, cheerfully ...
