To celebrate the 69th anniversary of Godzilla, Godzilla 2000 returned to theaters thanks to Fathom Events, giving fans a rare opportunity to experience the film on the big screen once again.

Monster Appearances: Ganimes, Gezora, Kamoebas As part of our summer beach party series from 2022 we reviewed the 1970 Toho kaiju classic Space Amoeba  (also known as Yog, Monster From Space ), directed by the legendary Ishirō Honda. The film follows the chaos unleashed when an extraterrestrial amoeba possesses the animals native to a tropical island, the intended site of a new hotel, creating a triple threat of monster destruction. True to Showa-era kaiju style, the monsters

Monster Appearanes: Gorgo , Ogra In one of our earliest reviews, we revisited the 1961 classic Gorgo , one of the standout non-Japanese kaiju films of the era.

Oodako’s main ability is a powerful tentacle grip, capable of crushing or dragging opponents. Oodako first appeared in King Kong vs. Godzilla , attempting to steal berry juice from the natives of Faro Island—only to be quickly defeated when Kong arrived to save the day. Oodako later appeared in The War

Godzilla VS. Hedorah is a confusing mix: it seems targeted toward a younger audience with Ken as the central child character, but the movie is surprisingly graphic for kids.
