The Dryden Theatre presents two Toho kaiju films on the big screen this July Official Site: George Eastman House On July 27, Godzilla returns to Rochester, New York for the third year in a row as the historic Dryden Theatre hosts a Toho kaiju double-feature. 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 VS KING GHIDORAH (GOJIRA TAI KINGU GHIDORA, Kazuki Omori, Japan 1991, 103 min., Japanese with subtitles, 35mm) Made to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Toho Studios, this action-packed extravaganza pits everyone’s favorite giant radioactive reptile against one of his most formidable foes. The fascinating plot has duplicitous time travelers from the 23rd century who, in trying to prevent Godzilla from existing, only manage to unleash the three-headed dragon King Ghidorah. The ass-kicking final battle is considered one of the best by most Godzilla aficionados. 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.
