With the movie coming out next year I figured this is a good time to step back in time and look at a good game. Originally an arcade game, RAMPAGE was ported to a wide variety of video game consoles such as the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), the SEGA Master system, and the Atari (Lynx, ST, 2600, and 7800). A decade later, RAMPAGE: WORLD TOUR was released for the arcade and then ported to a wide range of consoles such as the PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, GameBoy

GODZILLA: THE VIDEO GAME for PS4 came out 2 years ago. By this time, Godzilla (2014) had already came and went and any interest in Godzilla was dying down. So when this game was announced there were mixed feelings and not a whole lot of interest. Survival games like Far Cry Primal and Fallout 4 were more popular back in 2015. People loved the idea playing as Godzilla and destroying buildings like he does in the movies, but it was too reminiscent to two earlier Godzilla games

HAPPY TURKEYDAY EVERYBODY! I hope all of you are having a good Thanksgiving as this is the time of year to give thanks to our families, friends, and the many turkeys that sacrificed their lives for this day. What I am thankful for are the many monster movies from past, present, and future. I am thankful for all of the readers, both new and returning, that come to read my posts. I am especially thankful for the monster movies coming out next year, which are RAMPAGE, Godzilla:

The Madness From The Sea scene from the 2015 short film, The Call Of Cthulhu THE CALL OF CTHULHU By H.P. Lovecraft Part III: The Madness From The Sea If heaven ever wishes to grant me a boon, it will be total effacing of the results of a mere chance which fixed my eye on a certain stray piece of shelf paper. It was nothing on which I would naturally have stumbled in the course of my daily round, for it was an old number of an Australian journal, the Sydney Bulletin for April

HA! Made you look! You didn't think that I actually have thirteen reasons, did you? I don't think I can come up with thirteen reasons. Maybe two or three, but that is about it. You always see click bait articles titled just like that on Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube and it always makes you wonder what would be so shocking that needs to be read or watched only to find out that it's really nothing. Really aggravating, isn't it? Well, there is one sort of click bait that people

The Tale Of Inspector Legrasse from the 2015 short film, The Call Of Cthulhu THE CALL OF CTHULHU By H.P. Lovecraft Part II: The Tale Of Inspector Legrasse The old matters which made the sculptor's dream and bas-relief so significant to my uncle formed the subject of the second half of his long manuscript. Once before, it appears, Professor Angell had seen the hellish outlines of the nameless monstrosity, puzzled over the unknown hieroglyphics, and heard the ominous syllables

The Horror In The Clay scene from the 2005 short film, "The Call Of Cthulhu" "Of such great powers or beings there may be conceivably a survival… a survival of a hugely remote period when… consciousness was manifested, perhaps in shapes and forms long since withdrawn before the tide of advancing humanity… forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds…"—Algernon Blackwood THE CALL OF CT

THE FOG HORN BY RAY BRADBURY Out there in the cold water, far from land, we waited every night for the coming of the fog, and it came, and we boiled the brass machinery and lit the fog light up in the stone tower. Feeling like two birds in the grey sky, McDunn and I sent the light touching out, red, then white, then red again, to eye the lonely ships. And if they did not see our light, then there was always our voice, the great deep cry of our fog horn shuddering through the

After the initial success for the 2014 American remake, there was a sudden craze for more Godzilla films. So TOHO announced a couple months after the Japanese release for Godzilla that there was a new Godzilla film in the works. Hideaki Anno, director and creator of the show NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, was brought on board to direct Shin Godzilla. Producer Akihiro Yamauchi stated that the title for the film was chosen for the variety of meanings behind the syllable for "shin", w

After the release of Godzilla Final Wars, TOHO announced that they were not going to make anymore films featuring Godzilla and Tri-Star let the rights to Godzilla expire in 2003. In August 2009, there were rumors that surfaced about Legendary talking with TOHO to produce a new American Godzilla film in 2012. In March 2010, Legendary Pictures and TOHO confirmed the rumors that Legendary Pictures had acquired the rights to Godzilla with Warner Bros. co-producing and co-financin

The Millenium series as a whole was a little better than the Heisei series, but only in the special effects department. There were times where CGI did not look right, however there were other times where it really does show improvement with each movie. This was both a good thing and a bad thing. A good thing is that TOHO is really trying to get with the times and push themselves to explore different styles of special effects. The bad thing is that it was a settle hint that ye

After 50 years, TOHO needed a movie that not only celebrated those 50 years of Godzilla, but it also needed to feel like a perfect ending to the series. Director Ryuhei Kitamura accepted the offer to direct Godzilla Final Wars stating that the previous 80's, 90's, and 2000's films weren't satisfying and that he loved the Godzilla movies in the 70's. He also compared Godzilla Final Wars as like a musician's "Best Of" album by picking the best elements from the past. Ever since

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. is the sequel to Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla and is the only one in the millenium series. The giant snapping turtle Kamoebas is a direct reference to another film made by TOHO called Space Amoeba. Originally, a Liopleurodon was considered to be used, but was switched out for one of TOHO's more popular monsters, Anguirus. The idea was scrapped because it wouldn't sit well with the fans that a popular monster would be turned into a corpse so a less pop
