Editorial Reviews

Godzilla: King of the Monsters is a big, bad basher film, with the emphasis on both big and bad. No worse than any of the other films in the franchise, there are enough buildings crushed to overlook some of the major failures that the shaky camerawork and overuse of hazy weather can't hide. Connected to Kong: Skull Island and a sequel to 2014's Godzilla, this installment is co-written and directed by Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat) whose horror background shows its ugly face in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Although the fight choreography is a lot of fun, the two-dimensional characters who have little to say don't add any value, and the required elements for a better movie are left out. An eco-terrorist (Charles Dance) kidnaps a scientist (Vera Farmiga) and her daughter (Millie Bobby Brown), along with their mind-control device to be used on giant monsters called 'Titans.' He's hoping to harness his captives' power in order to destroy humanity, which he believes will save the world. However, he doesn't count on Godzilla to annihilate all his classic foes: Mothra, Rhodan, and King Ghidorah. To modernize this monster movie, the filmmakers attempt to focus on the humans to scale the emotional impact. The actors chosen to embody the different characters are great, but the script is so poorly written that they can't do much to demonstrate their presence on screen. Fans of Godzilla come to see monsters and mayhem; they don't need scientific explanations or family drama to try to make it anything more than visceral pleasure from watching things break. In that respect, Godzilla: King of the Monsters does finally deliver a huge smash 'em up fight scene spanning the final 30 minutes of the film. But that is confusing for viewers who witness the long, dramatic beginning which amounts to very little other than the characters just watching carnage unfold. For a summer spectacle, it would that bigger is better, but Godzilla himself has very little screen time in his own movie. Though not boring, the film lacks the appropriate amount of destruction. It's also hard to spot giant monsters in a film that's basically just about giant monsters; fog, rain, nighttime darkness, and all kinds of things hide the baddies when they finally do appear, and then there are quick cutaways to horrified humans reacting to the fight that the audience can't see properly. Ultimately, Godzilla: King of the Monsters provides enough sizzle that the low-quality steak may be partially forgiven. Aided by the high budget, the sound and visuals are great, which is enough to pump some adrenaline through the more boring moments of the film. The feature length version doesn't do much beyond expanding the trailer. The momentum is slowed for what everyone came to see - monsters bashing monsters.

Any serious student of Reformed theology needs to sit at the feet of Petrus van Mastricht. The challenge has been that to do so you needed to know Latin or Dutch. Thanks to the herculean efforts of the folks at the Dutch Reformed Translation Society and Reformation Heritage Books, English readers can now learn the art of ‘living for God through Christ.’” —Stephen J. Nichols, president of Reformation Bible College and chief academic officer of Ligonier Ministries


“With each translation of the formative Reformed theologians of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries comes the possibility of our churches being renewed by forgotten treasures. This is one of those gold mines. So important is van Mastricht that even Descartes felt obliged to respond to his critiques and Jonathan Edwards drew deeply from the well of his Theoretical-Practical Theology. It is a distinct pleasure to recommend this remarkable gem.” —Michael Horton, J. Gresham Machen Professor of Systematic Theology and Apologetics, Westminster Seminary California


“The very title of this work, Theoretical-Practical Theology, indicates why, three centuries ago, Petrus van Mastricht’s work appealed to Scottish ministers who studied under him or read his theology. Not least of these was his student James Hog, who would later famously republish The Marrow of Modern Divinity. In making van Mastricht’s classic available in English for a new generation of students, pastors, and scholars, the Dutch Reformed Translation Society and Reformation Heritage Books are giving a great gift to the Christian church as a whole, and to students, pastors, and scholars in particular.” —Sinclair B. Ferguson, Chancellor’s Professor of Systematic Theology, Reformed Theological Seminary; and teaching fellow, Ligonier Ministries
