Cozzilla (1977)
All the way back in 1979, the first issue of Fangoria came out with a psychedelic cover of Godzilla. I always wondered where this image came from and now I know — the strange and alluring 1977 Luigi Cozzi led version of the original film. Yes, Italian filmmaker Luigi Cozzi (Starcrash, Contamination, Paganini Horror) created this colorized version […]
The B&S About Movies DVD collection part one
I figured since we’re staying in, you can come into our home to check out our DVD collection with us. I’ve had a few people ask to see our collection, so here to go. Want to see more? Just ask!
The Great Gila Monster (1959)
Filmed near Dallas, Texas, this movie was produced by Dallas drive-in theater chain owner Gordon McLendon who wanted his own movies. This was shot back-to-back with The Killer Shrews. Unlike most regional drive-in films, both received national and even foreign distribution. This movie is also a lie. That’s no Gila Monster. It’s a Mexican Beaded Lizard. A […]
Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
And the theme weeks at B&S About Movies collide once again—with our review of the currently in pre-production of Karn Evil 9 for our “Radio Week,” and Sam’s insatiable appetite for all strange beasts from beyond the lands of the rising sun. Welcome to “Kaiju Week.” Keith Emerson’s full soundtrack to Godzilla: Final Wars! Huh? […]
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) and Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)
Uh, oh. The Constanzaian Worlds are colliding once again at B&S About Movies, as “Kaiju Week” rear ends April’s “James Bond Month.” Yes. There’s a Godzilla movie with James Bond-styled spies. And Apes. And not just one movie, but two movies. And my love for each, especially the first, is unbound. Toho Studios had Godzilla. […]
Gamera Super Monster (1980)
The first Gamera film in nine years — following Gamera vs. Zigra — this is somehow the strangest of all the movies. That’s an accomplishment. This entire movie is made up of recycled footage from the entire Gamera film series, as well as Space Battleship Yamato and Galaxy Express 999. This was an attempt to help Daiei get out […]

Gamera vs. Zigra (1971)
Shortly after Gamera vs. Zigra was completed, the film’s production studio, Daiei Film, went bankrupt. As a result, the film was distributed by another company called Dainichi Eihai. It only cost around $97,000, which is pretty amazing (Around $621,000 in today’s money). This time, Earth is under attack by aliens. Well, we’re under attack by […]
Gamera vs. Jiger (1970)
Known as Gamera tai Daimajū Jaigā in Japan, or Gamera vs. Giant Devil Beast Jiger, this is the sixth Gamera film. In the U.S., it was released straight to television under the name Gamera vs. Monster X. The American version contains stock footage from Gamera vs. Guiron and Gamera vs. Barugon to extend the movie’s release time. […]
