Hey, that did look surprisingly good. I even thought it was pretty funny, a reaction Hollywood rarely evokes in me these days. I kind of want that to be a video game rather than a movie though. So it's Transformers and the Turtles next year, huh? There's not many of my childhood heroes for them lef...

Ninjas are overrated, samurais deserve more praise. Still I would have probabbly checked out this movie if it did not cost a hundred bucks. Well, there are other editions priced lower. The still to be released Austarlian edition is about $30 (that's 30 Australian dollars), while there are three oth...

A movie about warring ninja clans in the Tokugawa era shares the same source material with a video game series about a guy named "Joe Musashi" hacking up punks in the 1980s? Hmm, perhaps I read something wrong somewhere. I've never played the games, nor do I know much about them. I never knew it wa...

No, this is not about that old video game, it is about the movie, Shinobi: Heart Under Blade . And no, it is not based on the game, but it is based on the same source material that the game was based on. I bought the premium edition DVD, and also caught it at Subway Cinema's New York Asian Film Fest...

I have a sudden reason to watch Gamera movies other than watching a turtle fly. The titles of the ones she's in are Gamera: Guardian of the Universe, Gamera 2: Attack of Legion, and Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris. The region 1 DVD's are disributed by ADV, and all contain the Japanese language track with...

Is it made from freshly squeezed Steven Segals? I'm not sure, but I know it's not made from freshly squeezed Ayako Fujitanis. For the uninitiated, Ayako Fujitani is his daughter from his frist wife Miyako Fujitani. http://www.japanmusic.jp/photo/fujitani.jpg And here's her profile, in Japanese, at ...

Has anybody heard about this?

So, apparently, he's so desperate to throw his name around that he's now endorsing his own energy drink? By this person's account, it tastes absolutely disgusting. Man, what will they think of next?

Since this debate is starting to get heated and rediculous, and because I feel I'm starting to see circular reasoning from all prties involved, I feel I should step in with this proposition. I would like for everyone here to drop this debate for the time being and go watch the movie Contact , starri...

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the new King Kong and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The latter I thought was equal to the original, and a funny and well made film, though the backstory about Willy Wonka kind of seemed tacked on. I was pleasantly surprsed that the remake of Kong didn't suck,...

It's actually true. They use a dubbing studio in Hong Kong to do the international English dubs for their films, and you can tell that it's the same five people that have been doing the voices for the past several movies.

Hey, remember back in July when I announced the DVD release of Godzilla Final Wars in Japan? Well, it's out on DVD in the United States today from Tristar. You can check it out at amazon.com and elseware if you care. It doesn't have a lot in the way of extra features, but at least it includes the or...

I saw it, it sucked ungodly amounts of ass. Well, I guess it's true then. Gotta love a movie made by a committee. You know, come to think of it, what exactly is meant by that phrase, "a movie made by a committee?" I hear it tossed around a lot, but now I realize that I don't really know what that m...

I kind of lost intrest in her when she dyed her hair blonde. I don't know... she just looks like another Hollywood bimbo to me now. :P Well, you can blame the new hair color on the Fantastic Four movie that was released this summer, since apparently the producers made her dye her hair for her role ...

This reminds me of an interesting fact. There is an actual http://www.robotnik.com. It's apparently an online electronics distributor that I think is based in Canada. Good to know that the doc has found some honest work outside of the games. This also explains where he gets the money he needs to bui...

Metal Sonic too! If they re-dubbed the OVA with better voices, that would be awesome! Or I could go geek-core and download the Japanese language version with fansubs or something. Actually, there is a DVD available here in the America that has the Japanese language track. However, I can't vouch for...

Ah, so Sonic X is still going on. Interesting. I remember watching the first few episodes in Japanese and thought the show had a lot of promise. Sadly, after the first 13 or so episodes, everything went downhill fast. I mean the first 13 episodes were both action packed and pretty funny, and every c...

Funny. I always thought that Station Square was modelled after Tokyo, just because, you know, that city seems to be a place that giant monsters are naturally attracted to.

While we're on the subject of Batman, I might as well let everyone know that Batman Begins will be out on DVD on October 18. There will be three differnet editions: The regular fullscreen, the regular widescreen, and the 2-disk delux widescreen (hint: gte the last one on the list). In addition, the ...

P.S.: Godzilla, if memory serves, actually feeds off energy; I forget which movie stated this, but I remember it none the less. The first movie that stated this was The Return of Godzilla back in 1984. It was also the first movie to demonstrate this as well, during a scene where he attacks a nuclea...

I think I also heard that they may have changed his name back to Eggman for the American releases so that they could better sync up the English dialogue with the mouth movements. Though when I think about it, this doesn't make sense, due to the differences in structure of the Japanese language versu...

No, you're right. Although we're not sure what he did to the many girls that were sacrificed to him by the natives of Ohto Island, as mentioned in the first Godzilla movie

Grab you torches and pitchforks everyone! We must burn this person at the stake!

Ecco: Thanks for the info. I never knew there were uncut English versions of "Gojira", "Mekagojira no Gyakushu", and "Gojira 1984" (well, now that I think about it, I vaguely remember hearing about the European version of the first of those three, but it's been so long I'd completely forgoten about...

VGJustice is talking Matthew Broderick Godzilla, right? Yeah, that's the one. I remember going to see it back on opening weekend in 1998. I don't think I was ever more excited about any movie upon walking into the theater, and never walked out more disappointed. I can't even stand to watch it anymo...

Well, the uncut original hasn't yet been released here, but it is said that Classic Media will be releasing it on a two sided disk with the Raymond Burr version in October. They will also be releasing Terror of Mechagidzilla at the same time. However, all I know about ToMg is that it probably won't ...
