Double Feature: 50th Anniversary! MOTHRA, 1961, Sony Repertory, 101 min. Dir. Ishiro Honda. Giant caterpillar-turned-avenging-insect Mothra wreaks havoc on Japan when its best friends - two tiny, telepathic, singing sisters (played by real-life siblings Yumi and Emi Ito) - are kidnapped by an unscrupulous promoter and forced to perform in a Tokyo nightclub. Dubbed in English. [35mm]


GODZILLA, MOTHRA & KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK, 2001, Sony Repertory, 105 min. Already acclaimed by fans as the most exciting Godzilla film since the genre’s 1960s heyday, "GMK" features a terrific, redesigned Big G (he’s leaner, meaner and packs a nasty bite), bent on destroying Japan as vengeance for the restless souls of WWII victims. Standing in his way are the "Guardian Deities" - Mothra, King Ghidorah and Baragon. In Japanese with English subtitles. [35mm]
