Monster of the Day #1962

We'll see if the niece wants to make it to a third movie (after a dinner break), and if she does, what she makes of this. Frankly, if she bails and I can get her back home in time--it's a bit of a hike--I'll probably instead try to make that evening's showing of Sound!…

Monster of the Day #1961

The G-Fest film I'm really excited about, of course, is Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster. (Ghidrah, back in my day.) It's hard to explain how incredible Ghidrah was back then, a monster so powerful that it took Toho's Big Three combined to defeat it. Plus the first combined universe mash-up since the Universal monster…

Sorry, I didn't get my roundtable piece done (neither did anyone else), so I'm going to shoot for next weekend. Please contribute a piece if you would like. Any length is fine, it doesn't have to be a big review or anything. This is another short week for me, as I took off Thursday…

Monster of the Day #1959

It's hard to find a good still from this one, which is weird, because the print on Amazon Prime is quite good and shows the monster pretty cleanly. I guess an old DVD copy or something must have been lousy. Anyway, I'll write up a few notes on this one and post it as…

Monster of the Day #1958

You'd think with all the anime I'm watching I'd give Lily C.A.T. a go this weekend for our Amazon Prime round table (email me your pieces at ken@jabootu.com!). Well, no. I just don't particularly like sci-fi anime, especially dark sci-fi anime. Speaking, after being denied on several occasions this year due to snow storms…

Monster of the Day #1957

I've never watched Revenge of Dr X, despite the fact that it has a bad rubber monster suit and was written by Ed Wood (!). So I think this is the weekend. Thanks, Amazon Prime!

Amazon Prime round table….

Hey, with the holiday this week, it might be a good time to have an Amazon Prime round table. If you have Prime, just pick one of the zillions of flicks of all genres and eras and send me your thoughts. If you don't have Prime, just watch anything you want and do the…

Monster of the Day #1956

Man, Amazon Prime really is like an old, big, disorganized video rental place. Wander the shelves and enjoy the crap! (Good stuff, too, but who cares about that?) Last week I featured Queen Crab, the Brett Piper film that features stop-animated giant crabs. Prime also offers Arachnia, the Piper film that features stop-animated giant…

Monster of the Day #1955

Looking for a Prime (get it?) hunk of cheese to watch this weekend. How about Terror on London Bridge. Remember when they bought the London Bridge and moved it to Arizona? Of course, the first thing EVERYBODY thought was "Let's make a movie where the soul of Jack the Ripper is trapped in the…

Monster of the Day #1954

A lame Robocop rip-off fighting jumping Chinese vampires? Oh, Godfrey Ho, you magnificent bastard. Brought to you, of course, by Amazon Prime.
