Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack

Chiharu Nîyama, Ryudo Uzaki

Sony Pictures, 2004

Best Movie Ever!!!*^.^*
This movie is the greatest and the biggest box office success. I really love the new and improved roars made for Baragon and King Ghidorah(espcially King Ghidorah's roar). I don't like the way they had designed Mothra. I think they gotten the idea from the armored ...

Dogora

Tokyo Shock, 2005

Jellyfish horror............
This may not be Toho's best movie. But it has its moment. You get the same actors from the Godzilla films, and the effect are great for its time. The best thing about this dvd it comes with the original a.i.p. dubb. As a g-fan I had to pick this up.

Godzilla's Revenge

Tomonori Yazaki, Eisei Amamoto

Sony Wonder (Video), 2002

Lighten up, folks!
I love this movie. It's extremely corny, most of the footage is stock, but it is so entertaining. I think the Godzilla gang really had fun making this one.Minilla is ridiculous,but remember, this is in a kid's dream sequence. His dreams WOULD be made up of stock ...

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster

Akira Takarada, Kumi Mizuno

Sony Pictures, 2005

Hungry for shrimp...........
This movie was made in 1966. Not bad of a story. Godzilla don't destroy many buildings. But he does knock down afew planes. A couple of people trap on a island. Have to awake Godzilla who then fight with Ebirah the sea monster. Everyone do escape with the help of ...

What's Up, Tiger Lily?

Eisei Amamoto, Steve Boone

American International Pictures (AIP), 2003

What's Up, Tiger Lily?
Broad, wacky, and extremely funny, "What's Up" is not for everyone, but if you're in need of some divine silliness, you cannot do better. Characteristic of Woody's earlier work, not every gag works, but there are so many of them that you come out way ahead, with cheeks ...

Ronin Gai

Yoshio Harada, Kanako Higuchi

Homevision, 2005

Once were warriors
"Ronin Gai" is almost a metaphor for the entire Samurai genre. Bereft of meaning, no longer following a cause, once powerful figures struggle to keep their dignity, or else they surrender to their despair and try to forget their faded glory in drink and easy ...

Atragon

Tadao Takashima, Yôko Fujiyama

Tokyo Shock, 2006

Atragon- One of Toho's Best
Atragon is a very good movie. Great even. Even though the infamous daikaiju, Manda, is only in it for a short amount of time. The special effects are great and the acting is splendid. The storyline is original and different from most other Toho creations. But that ...

Kill! - Criterion Collection

Tatsuya Nakadai, Etsushi Takahashi

Criterion, 2005

Deflating the romantic figure of the samurai
This excellent samurai film skewers the self-important preoccupation with duty and honor that this genre of film can lend itself to. Genta (Tatsuya Nakadai) has given up the life of a samurai to pursue the life of a wandering yakuza after duty compelled him to kill a ...

Weather Woman DVD Collection

Ren Osugi, Takashi Sumida

Asian Pulp Cinema, 2000

Satire without cynicism
This is a great little film with lots of interesting (and hilarious and erotic) twists and turns. I'm always a little put off when I hear "satire", but this is satire that never desends into cynicism . The film makers obviously enjoyed making this. I also highly ...

What's Up, Tiger Lily? [Region 2]

Woody Allen, Tatsuya Mihashi

American International Pictures (AIP)

What's Up, Tiger Lily?
Broad, wacky, and extremely funny, "What's Up" is not for everyone, but if you're in need of some divine silliness, you cannot do better. Characteristic of Woody's earlier work, not every gag works, but there are so many of them that you come out way ahead, with cheeks ...

I See Hell Everywhere
Based on a short story by one of Japan's modern literary masters Akutagawa Ryuunosuke, Portrait of Hell takes place during the decaying end of the Heian Period. Known as Japan's classical era, the Heian Era gave birth to many forms of poetry, long fiction, courtly ...

The Red Spectacles

Shigeru Chiba, Machiko Washio

Bandai, 2003

"Jin-Roh" + "Alphaville" = surreal "Spectacle"
As a fan of Mamoru Oshii's action-packed, yet intellectually provocative anime films, like "Ghost in the Shell", "Patlabor", and "Jin-Roh", I was expecting something interesting from his live-action films. I started by watching "Avalon," which lived up to my ...
