Sentai Saturday

Today's sentai is Battle Fever J (バトルフィーバーJ) which ran back in 79, 80 for a 52 episode run. Here is the opening for the show:

Luminous Moss

Ever want to see a movie but search and search for it but no luck? Luminous Moss aka Hikarigoke (ひかりごけ) is one of them.I've been able to track it down on amazon japan. I'm hoping to snag it since its been on my want list forever. The story involves a captain of a boat accused of eating his shipmates to survive...sounds like fun eh?

Atragon part 2

To follow up on yesterdays post Atragon was made in 1963 by Toho and featured the Gotengo (Atragon) battling Manda. The sub has a huge drill on its bow and it also could fly. Gotengo was later featured in Godzilla Final Wars (also appearing in WAR IN SPACE).This site offers some pics of some of the collectibles from the movie Atragon

Atragon...or how my sub can fly?

Atragon (海底軍艦 ) Was an interesting movie to say the least. One of my favorite Kaiju characters of all time was a part of this movie (Manda マンダ ) Here he's having some fun in Destroy All Monsters:

Manda appeared in other Godzilla movies along with an appearance in the tv series Ultra Q (ウルトラQ) as a mystic dragon in episode 6. Tomorrow I'll go more in depth about the movir Atragon.

Legend of the sacred stone

This movie has been sitting on my shelf forever..so I decided to check out some info on the guys behind it. Seems theres been a series in Taiwan known as Pili that's been around for some time. Pili International Multimedia started the series in 1985 and Legend of the sacred stone was released on dvd in Taiwan and Japan. Here is a clip from it:

Nazi Zombies

We all love those Nazi zombies that keep turning up from time to time in films. So in honor of them I'm posting a trailer for one if not the best nazi zombie horror flicks called Shockwaves :

More to possibly come later(depends on how tired I am ).

8 films to die for

Yesterday the second set of 8 films to die for came out on dvd. I loved the first 8 and can't wait to grab all these on dvd!

Godzilla Island

Godzilla Island (ゴジラアイラン) Was a toy-action series based on Godzilla that ran from 97-98. It consisted of 256 three minute segments and set in 2097. Pretty much almost every Kaiju that frequented the Godzilla movies were in this show. Here are a few episodes found on youtube:

Haunted Memories

Today I found an old site I used to go to frequently Haunted Memories. I bought a portrait off the site awhile back and since lost the address. If you get a chance check this site out- its a must for people who love horror. It's St. Patty's day so what else would I end with but the trailer for the cheeseball movie Leprechaun

It's Sentai Saturday..er hehe no my bad just jumping the gun, so here's tomorrow's Sentai link a day early. The show is Sport Ranger from Thailand (2006).

A new trailer is up for Speed racer. I'm not exactly sold on it yet. there's just something about it.... I don't know...too early to tell. Oh well guess I'll find out in May, but for now here's the trailer:

K20 and other news

Looks like there is a new movie coming out in Japan in 09 called K20 by Toho studios. Today I found something I havn't seen in years: Captain Chesapeake. He was the host for cartoons in our local Baltimore area. He started doing the show two days before I was born and it lasted until 1990. George Lewis who played the role of CC also was the Ghost Host( late night horror host) for WBFF tv. Here are a few videos of him playing both roles:

CJ7 and more..

Today I had the chance to view the trailer for the upcoming movie CJ7 By Stephen Chow (of Kung Fu Hustle fame as well as numerous others).It's geared more towards family but I'll see it none-the-less since I'm a Chow fan. In other news I'm off to view Kung Fu Dunk. I've been wanting to watch this now for a few days and a review will come later if I'm not busy. For now heres the trailer for it:

The shape of Things to Come

I've decided to write this blog again since alot has happened over the past year or so. Same me- and same hobbies (horror, asian flicks, etc.) just living in a new state. Yesterday I was on the Worst Case Scenario website looking around. This movie along with Bio Slime could end up being my two favorite flicks this year. I'm excited to see both but I missed out on the limited edition dvd WCS had to offer - hopefully they will have more soon or someone out there has a copy they want to unload. Anyway today It was raining out so I ended up watching a great Spaghetti western called The Mercenary ( Il Mercenario ) From Sergio Corbucci. Starring the great Franco Nero and Jack Palance. This was the 106 min uncut eng dubbed version . A trailer for it is here:

You'll also notice a young Tony Musante in the trailer..he plays Paco Roman. Tony went on to star in movies such as Traffic and We Own The Night. If your into Spaghetti Westerns like me then you'll want to check these sites out:
