Yes. “Godzilla Minus One” is still on the air. Despite everything, our long national nightmare is over. The film, which takes place before the original 1954 film (hence the “Minus One” in the title), was intended to hit theaters for a limited release last December. But it was such good luck that it was played for years. And what’s more, it’s the first “Godzilla” movie to be nominated (and later win) an Oscar, at this year’s ceremony, for its visual effects. If you haven’t noticed “Godzilla Minus One,” it sure is impressive. Set after World War II, it follows a failed kamikaze pilot, Shikishima (Ryunosuke Kamiki), as he searches for meaning in the bombed-out rubble of post-war Japan. Soon, this sensation literally confronts him, when Godzilla, whom Shikishima faced earlier in the war, makes landfall. Considering that, in recent years, the only Godzilla we’ve noticed is the edition of the increasingly silly Western film series, it’s great to see the iconic monster return to his elemental strength: terrifying, fearsome, and full of metaphorical terror . It’s one of the most productive Godzilla films in its seventy-year history and one of the biggest films of the past year. If you missed it the first time, now’s your chance to revel in the horror and wonder of “Godzilla Minus One. ” And if you’ve noticed it before, you’ll probably see it again. And even. –Drew Taylor

This feature-length documentary through Andrew McCarthy investigates the Brat Pack phenomenon, of which McCarthy was an integral component. For those who don’t know, Brat Pack was an organization of young actors from the 1980s, who were given the nickname in a 1985 New York Magazine story. McCarthy investigates an important question: “What did it mean to be part of the Brat Pack?How does he get to the bottom of things? Talking to other Brat Packers (and actors adjacent to the Brat Pack), adding Rob Lowe, Demi Moore, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Jon Cryer, Lea Thompson, and Timothy Hutton (It’s unclear why Molly Ringwald wasn’t involved; perhaps the documentary is her omission). Judging by the trailer, it looks fun, entertaining, and light. A candid examination of a pop culture. And there will probably be some clever juice, considering McCarthy hasn’t noticed some of those other people in decades. Perhaps old grudges die with difficulty? It is a bond that transcends time and hurts feelings. I can’t wait.

Ultraman, a character brought to Japanese television in 1966, is an incredibly recognizable pop culture icon. And now, finally, it arrives in the United States in an exciting animated film. “Ultraman: Rising” is based on a creative premise: what if Ultraman (voiced by Christopher Sean), a towering superhero, was forced to raise the orphaned child of one of his most fearsome foes (fighting kaiju Godzilla-style, of course).

Director Dev Patel, who also co-wrote, produced and starred, “Monkey Man,” is an outdated revenge story, but updated with fashionable political considerations and a confident post-John Wick style. “.

(He honed his toughness in underground boxing matches, where he adapted (the nickname Monkey Man, based on a folk tale read to him by his mother. )It’s easy to see why “Monkey Man,” which was originally covered through Netflix and then cut, hired maker Jordan Peele, who worked with Patel to make it as productive (and as brutal) as possible. You can feel the taste of several of the filmmakers Patel has collaborated with in the afterlife: There are Dickensian nuances straight out of Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionaire” and the more mythical scope of his film. “Green Night” director David Lowery. With “Monkey Man,” Patel made a visceral and visually stunning detail. We can’t wait for movie number 2.

One of the biggest movies of the year, “Kung Fu Panda 4,” has grossed more than $500 million since its release this spring. And you know what? He deserves it. “Kung Fu Panda 4” is a lot of fun. It gently expands the mythology of the original films, retaining Jack Black as Po and the show’s colorful world of martial arts-obsessed animals and introducing a good number of new elements, mainly Viola Davis’s chameleon-like villain and the unreliable thief of Awkwafina foxes. This time, Po tries to stop the chameleon from bringing back the former villains from the spirit realm. Director Mike Mitchell, a DreamWorks legend thanks to his credits on “Trolls” and “Shrek Forever After,” delivers creative action sequences and nuanced character beats with a sense of fun. And Black doesn’t miss a beat in his return to the franchise, fitting into the character like a comfortable pair of sweatpants. (He first essayed the character in 2008. ) “Kung Fu Panda 4” not only reminds you what’s special about this franchise, but also makes you hungry for more installments. Judging by the box office, there will be more. Sooner or later we would guess. –Drew Taylor

Paul Mescal is all the rage, and if you didn’t know him from Hulu’s brilliant series “Normal People,” you actually knew him from his 2022 movie “Aftersun. “The drama is coming to Netflix this month, but keep tissues handy.

Who doesn’t love a clever prehistoric thriller?”Out of Darkness,” originally titled “The Origin,” was described through its director Andrew Cumming as “a Paleolithic horror film,” which is as clever a description as any. The film follows an organization of Neolithic humans, who begin to be eliminated one by one, pursued by an invisible enemy as they try to move forward in their lives. Of course, there’s a big twist related to this invisible force that we probably won’t reveal here. , however, once the twist comes, the film takes on an even more contemplative philosophical tone. This movie probably would have made more noise if I hadn’t felt that Dan Trachtenberg’s “Prey” had already eaten his lunch. Well, maybe I didn’t. Eat it completely. But at least they gave me a very important component. Still, adventurous enthusiasts of the genre who fear a more planned speed will be amply rewarded for finding “Out of Darkness. “– Drew Taylor

Another of the most productive films of 2024, A24’s charming and understated “Problemista” has a brain of its own. It stars Julio Torres, who also wrote, produced and directed the film, as Alejandro, whose painter’s visa is revoked after a mistake at the cryogenic factory where he paints. (He dreams of becoming a toy designer for Hasbro; that doesn’t seem to be happening. ) To retain his citizenship and avoid being deported to El Salvador, he starts running for a rich, eccentric weirdo played by Tilda Swinton (because that one of course). But what turns out to happen in a very one-dimensional direction, with Swinton in full Cruella de Vil/Miranda Priestly mode, and Torres forced to overlook her abuse, is actually much stranger and much more moving. Torres is truly a unique talent, offering a New York City inhabited by strange, seductive and often damaged spirits hungry for connection. “Problemista” is fun and hilarious, but it is also one of the most emotional films of the year. There is an indescribable and essential sweetness. This movie will calm your restless soul. –Drew Taylor

Sam Mendes’ exclusive film about World War I won Oscars, and rightly so. The film is presented as a long, uninterrupted series (for which cinematographer Roger Deakins won an Oscar) as it follows a soldier played by George MacKay for an entire day. on the battlefield in April 1917. Es an amazing achievement and it’s more productive to look at it with your full attention. Andrew Scott, Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden, and Mark Strong all have memorable if minor roles as MacKay’s character makes his way through the mud. –Adam Chitwood

With “Brats” coming to Hulu this month, there’s never been a better time to revisit John Hughes’ best “The Breakfast Club. “The 1985 film tells the story of a single day of detention, on a Saturday, for five top-tier students, all from other backgrounds/cliques, and discovers them strangely linked. The point at which this film tackles teenage wrestling is still an amazing feat, and there’s something magical about the chemistry of Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall. . –Adam Chitwood

Before “The Florida Project” or “Red Rocket,” filmmaker Sean Baker burst onto the scene with his 2015 comedy “Tangerine,” shot entirely on an iPhone. Kitana Kiki Rodriguez plays a trans sex worker living in Los Angeles who discovers that her boyfriend and pimp are cheating on her. Although it feels like a standalone film and tackles difficult subjects, the film has the tone and speed of a raucous comedy, and that’s a clever thing to do. Better yet, see Baker’s seminal film ahead of the release of his new film “Anora,” which won the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year. –Adam Chitwood

“La La Land” is impressive. Damien Chazelle’s 2016 film would possibly go down in history as the one that won Best Picture at the Oscars, but it deserves to be remembered as one of the most important musicals ever made. It’s a heartfelt love story between two dreamers looking to make it in Los Angeles, played by Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. But what Chazelle’s point of view leaves aside (beyond the incredible songs and stunning cinematography of Linus Sandgren) is that he’s not afraid to be sad. It is the story of one’s ways of life not taken away, of the things we can also justify, and of what we leave behind. –Adam Chitwood

OMG, I’m Jason Bourne. La original “Bourne” trilogy is one of the most productive action movie series ever made, and director Doug Liman’s 2002 original established an entirely new mode of action cinema that will be copied for decades to come. Matt Damon is fantastic as a murderer who’s lost his memory, and while “Identity” gets things going, director Paul Greengrass’ “The Bourne Supremacy” and “The Bourne Ultimatum” are even better, deepening the plot and espionage while intensifying the plot. -Your face is taking things to new levels. Jason Bourne hits a guy with a rolled-up magazine. –Adam Chitwood

Widely regarded by “Star Trek” enthusiasts as one of the most productive “Trek” movies ever made (even though it’s not a “Star Trek” movie), “Galaxy Quest” is a hilarious take on the iconic science. fictional franchise. . . Tim Allen plays the faded star of a popular sci-fi TV show who now makes convention appearances (reluctantly) with his former co-stars. But when the team is guided through genuine extraterrestrial beings who have mistaken their TV series for “historical documents,” those self-centered actors go berserk. –Adam Chitwood
