Go go, Godzilla

Thanks to the impeccable programming wizardry of the Encore Action channel on cable TV, my kids have discovered the joys of Godzilla movies.

I recently recorded the 1993 remake of "Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla" on the DVR and the kids enjoyed it immensely.

I'm delighted to say that despite Devlin and Emmerich's execrable attempt to Americanize the Godzilla franchise in 1998, Toho carried on before and after that as if nothing had happened -- it's all here, cheesy miniature effects, bad dubbing, second-rate acting ... everything that makes a Godzilla movie great.

James, of course, roots for Godzilla at every opportunity -- especially when Godzilla's attacking Tokyo.

I discovered a new way to entertain our boys in front of the TV. I ordered a Stomp DVD and a Blue Man Group DVD, and they're hooked. As far as they're concerned, it beats the pants off of the Spongebob movie.

I got the idea when I saw Nate banging a Matchbox car against a window the other day - these kids are MADE for this stuff.
