Month: January 2018

Here's how it went. I saw The Godfather in a theater last night (not a bad movie, really) so I thought, "I'll show a monster gangster" and ended up on Robert Loggia from Innocent Blood, only nearly all the stills for that movies are of Anne Parillaud nekked--a bit of an exaggeration, but not…

This guy is established enough that they're probably stuck with him. However, I doubt he's a fan favorite. Part of the problem is that they clearly wanted him to be gross, but lovable. "He's Oscar the Grouch meets Slimer!" Meh.

I watched a few Japanese commercial compilations on YouTube. It seems Japanese commercials are often a bit weirder than American commercials, and more likely to feature monsters. This fellow was designed and animated by the Shin Godzilla folks.

OK, I haven't seen this, so maybe in the movie itself this is just a guy wearing an alligator skin. However, my faith sustains me. B-Fest is next week already. Good grief.

Here's the IP that 'inspired' the upcoming Rock wants-to-be blockbuster and franchise tentpole. I mean, it's kind of crazy, right? Or is it me?

Well, this and even Meg (finally!) are supposed to come out this year. Has the new Godzillaverse actually made giant monster movies viable in the States again? We'll see, I guess. They haven't announced the budget for this, but that wolf looks a tad shoddy to me. They may have spent a lot more…

Well, it's probably better than DinoCroc. Maybe.

This film, a clear Mighty Joe Young knock-off (to the EXTREME!) looks awful serious for a flick based on what I recall as a very primitive video game. Looks like they're in Chicago, though.

What a magical year for horror films. Not just another Resident Evil (or Hellraiser or Rings or Jeepers Creepers or Annabelle the Doll or Flatliners or Saw or Chucky or Children of the Corn or....), but another Underworld! That was the best shot I could find and I lightened it as much as possible.…

This one actually looks promising, as everyone who saw it in the theater (a good half dozen people) immediately dubbed it terrible. Ah, but my heart has been broken so many times.
