https://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Arts/Godzilla-Minus-One-wins-the-Oscar-for-visual-effects The movie "Godzilla Minus One," set in the waning days of World War II, won the Oscar for best visual effects, pushing aside such big-budget behemoths as "Guardians of the Galaxy 3," "Napoleon" and "Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part One."

A video made its way onto social media, featuring a Nissan GTR and a Mercedes-Benz A45S AMG 4MATIC Plus drag racing against each other. It was unclear where this incident took place. Here's the video for your viewing pleasure: For those that do not know, this variation of the A45S is the latest model with the highest specifications currently offered on the market. Japanese Vs German Engineering Despite the late reaction from the A45S, you can see that this 2.0-litre turbocharged hatchback quickly caught onto the 3.8-litre Godzilla within seconds. What fascinated me was the brilliance of Japanese engineering that allowed the >10 years old GTR, to go head-to-head against a modern-day sports car. Unfortunately, it was impossible to tell who won that drag race from the video. Netizens' comments Sad, but so true😥 Haiz...I was disappointed when I realised there wasn't any audio. Who do you think would have won if the A45S driver had a good reaction time? --- Thinking of selling your car? sgCarMart Quotz guarantees the highest selling price for your car.

Anyone catching this Kaiju movie on Friday? I got hyped up by my friends on this. The new Godzilla is by far the largest compared to it's Japanese and 1998 US counterparts, towering over 120 meters. This round we get hints that it's battling a second "cloverfield-like" monster. The tone of this movie is also different from the light-hearted anime feel of "Pacific Rim" or it's campy 1998 incarniate and set in a darker and gritty tone. So far the previews have been pretty positive, while most reviewers commented on the good builtup, they complained that they can't get enough screentime of the King of Monsters himself! LOL! This will be the second time Hollywood is taking a shot on the iconic monster. The 1st US version in 1998 (shown in Ch5 yesterday evening) was a disaster for both the box office and for the Godzilla fans/franchise. The monster in the 1998 Godzilla resembles more like a giant T-Rex than the tail dragging walking monster that we all knew. Moreoever the monster is weak and easily killed by missiles and did not have laser breath. The campy storyline and plothole angered many fans who see it as a lame copy from "Jurrasic Park". The sh*t hits the fan when the movie reaches the scene were "baby Godzilla" overrun the threater. The suit actor of the japanese Godzilla was so angry by the movie that he walked out of the hollywood premiere half-way. "That's not Godzilla" he said. Even "Toho" the Japanese company that own the "Godzilla" rights announced that they rename the monster "Zilla" and removing the "God" from the monster. The 1998 monster was a running gag in many Japanese Godzilla movies. Not anymore! This movie set to make things Right this time. This new Godzilla will be the same tail-dragging monsters than we all know and love!

To drum up sales of its 500L in the states, Fiat teamed up with the people's favourite big monster, the Godzilla, to come up with this interesting ad. Timed well with the release of the upcoming Godzilla movie (which opens on 15th May) we say. Instead of telling you what is going to happen in the advertisement, watch for yourselves how the Fiat 500L might just be the safest car to be in if Godzilla does ever attack. http://dai.ly/x1tfvuf_godzilla-official-fiat-family-featuring-the-500l-new-tv-commercial-hd_auto
