    MOTHRA and GMK this Weekend in Rochester, NY

    The Dryden Theatre presents two Toho kaiju films on the big screen Author: John Yeara Official Site: George Eastman House On Friday, July 27th, the historic Dryden Theatre in Rochester, NY continues it`s summer tradition of monster double features. This time they are showing the original MOTHRA and, in a change from the original schedule, they will be following that with GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK. The originally scheduled GODZILLA VS KING GHIDORAH could not be obtained as Sony Pictures has had a problem with the print. Both films will be preceded by brief lectures from local Godzilla authority John Yeara.

    From the Dryden Theatre website... FRIDAY, JULY 27 DOUBLE FEATURE: Two films for one regular admission price! 7:00 PM - MOTHRA (MOSURA, Ishiro Honda, Japan 1961, 91 min., Japanese with subtitles, 35mm) Two identical six-inch princesses (who sing and talk in unison) are kidnapped from their remote island home by an evil showman. They are pursued all the way to Tokyo by their protector, a giant caterpillar that smashes buildings, spins a cocoon, and becomes a giant moth. Perhaps the only contender for Godzilla’s title of most-beloved Japanese monster movie, MOTHRA, shown here in its original Japanese-language version, is a true classic. 8:45 PM - GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK (GOJIRA, MOSURA, KINGUGHIDORA: DAIKAIJU SOSHINGEKI, Shusuke Kaneko, Japan 2001, 105 min., Japanese with subtitles) Thought dead, Godzilla resurfaces only to face the sacred beasts of Yamato — King Ghidorah and Mothra. The stage is now set for the ultimate smackdown. The Dryden Theatre is located at George Eastman House, 900 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14607. Ticket prices for the Godzilla double features are: Regular Admission $6.00, Students $5.00, George Eastman House Members $4.00. The theater box office opens 45 minutes prior to each performance.
