This summer, check out five notable works of art on view in the region: Margaret Noble at Plumosa Park; Phillip K. Smith III at OMA; Natalia Ventura at The Front; Chris Burden and Bryon Kim at MCASD downtown; and Alika Cooper at Oolong Gallery.
A couple of LA-based artists are exhibiting work in two new shows that both look to the past for inspiration. Fay Ray’s “Lacuna” exhibit at Shulamit Nazarian in Hollywood runs through June 26.
Legendary Pictures figures you have been cooped up long enough without any rock-âem-sock-âem blockbuster movies (read: âTransformerâ movies, any Marvel superhero movie) and youâre suffering from withdrawal. So, the moviemaker has just released a well-timed fourth installment in their so-called MonsterVerse â a battle royal titled âGodzilla vs. Kong.â
This is the 36th film in the Godzilla franchise and the 12th film in the King Kong franchise.
As you geeks know, the Japanese kaiju monster Gojira (we call him Godzilla here in the US) first attacked Tokyo in a 1954 film by the Toho Company.
âKaijuâ translates as âstrange beast.â Thatâs a good description, in that this giant semi-aquatic reptile breathes radioactive flames.
