With the new King Kong vs Godzilla movie coming out in a few months, I thought I would put together a list of King Kong movies to re-watch in preparation. I’ve left off the cartoon and other TV appearances. Let me know if I’ve missed any theatrical outings.
Sometime last fall I saw the first trailer for a new movie from Legendary and Universal Studios coming out called “The Great Wall”. The premise was simple: the Chinese build the Great Wall to defend against some kind of attacking Kaijū (怪獣) attacking from the north.…

I’ve always had an affinity for dinosaurs, megafauna, and
kaiju. At the

I went to see the new American ゴジラ film with some trepidation. This is a character that I have watched all my life on the little and big screen. It reminded me of going to the theater in 1985 when I dragged my cousin Paul to see the Ramond Burr cut of

The trailer for the new Godzilla movie is out. We still are not getting a good view of the big guy. This is good. They are saving the reveal for the theater. We get to see more than we did in the teaser but we still have not gotten to see his classic profile.…

I just got another sale notification from Amazon. My VHS tape of
Godzilla vs Destroyah is on its way to a new home in Washington state. I’m glad to see it going to someone who will watch it. I cannot bear to throw them away when I can watch it on my Apple TV any time.…

Project Nemesis by Jeremy Robinson and Matt Frank is the Kindle equivalent of a summer popcorn movie. It takes the basic Japanese Daikaiju movie, sets it in the US and sends a DHS officer who normally works on X-Files out to investigate.…

Take parts of the Matrix, Cloverfield, Independence Day, War of the Worlds, Transformers, Predators, and some zombie movie, throw them in a blender until the best part float to the top. Scape that top layer off and throw it away so you are left with just the slag.…
