“Destroy All Monsters” at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts

By Andrew Cothern
Imagine the members of local rock band Goldrush towering over the city and decimating everything in their path. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts brings you campy chaos — minus all the damage — with a screening of the 1968 Japanese monster movie “Destroy All Monsters,” featuring live music from Goldrush. “Destroy All Monsters,” the ninth film in the original “Godzilla” series, features a race of female aliens taking control of Earth’s monsters — including Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra, Anguirus and Minilla — in an attempt to destroy the human race. Goldrush will compose a soundtrack to play live alongside the movie. Expect rampant destruction, overdramatic acting, explosions and, naturally, a boatload of terrifying creatures when “Destroy All Monsters” screens at the museum on Friday, Nov. 9, at 6:30 p.m. $5-$8. vmfa.museum.
