It's the year 2016 and they're still making Godzilla movies with a guy in a big rubber suit. That's kinda fantastic right?
I don't think I'd ever go to a theater and watch this, it still looks pretty campy. I mean what's up with the giant tail on Godzilla? That looks like it could get pretty tentacly really quick like. Still, if this was on el Rey one weekend I'd definitely check it out.

Every day in December (newborn baby schedule permitting) I plan on posting one thing from my official DevilDinosaur Christmas Wish List (patent pending). Why? Because I can.
The last month or so I've been getting all those weird Encore movie packages because I expanded my cable for a month so I could watch MLS playoff games. In doing so I've gotten to see not only the terrible Matthew Broderick Godzilla movie but a bunch of the cool but still awful Japanese Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla movies. So what I'm getting at is I've been in a real Godzilla state of mind lately. Then this teaser trailer for the new American Godzilla movie hit the net today. I like what I see so far, but I'm a big monster movie apologist. Cloverfield? Love it. Pacific Rim? Love it. Dinocroc vs Supergator? Love it times infinity.
Here's hoping I can love the new Godzilla movie a bit less ironically than Dinocroc vs Supergator.
Ok, so my kanji is a little rusty. There's a chance this movie isn't called Sex Godzilla. Honestly, Sex Godzilla is probably a lot punchier than what ever it's really called anyway. What else would you call a movie about a female pilot that gets "excited" every time she battle a Kaiju that looks suspiciously like Godzilla?
I'm a poor reviewer of stuff, so I barely do it. My only regular reviews are ..the Blurst of Times and half the time I don't even finish what I'm reviewing... then came Pacific Rim.
Pacific Rim was the raddest movie I have seen in FOREVER. For whatever reason It's been getting mixed reviews (Entertainment Weekly gave it a B-) and it was beat by Grown Ups 2 in the box office. But here's the deal no one really wants to talk about. Action movies are stupid. Even good ones like The Dark Knight or, oh I don't know lets say either version of True Grit, have ridiculous premises and giant plot holes. The well reviewed ones are usually the ones with snappy dialogue, unique art direction and great dramatic performances. Minus a couple shinning moments from Idris Elba Pacific Rim has none of that (ok it does have some pretty bad ass art direction).
What it does have is giant effing robots beating the crap out of and getting the crap beat out of them by giant Kiaju monsters. It's the most amazing 2 hour video game cutscene I've ever seen and it was well worth the money Loren paid for my ticket (I swear I'll pay you back). It excels so hard at what it tries to do it doesn't deserve its own award, it deserves its own Awards Show.
There's my review. Pacific Rim is the raddest movie I've seen in Forever. Go ahead and quote me on that, twice.
Here's the latest and greatest trailer for Pacific Rim. I'm not sure if it's really the 29th trailer but it kinda feels like it, doesn't it?
I believe this would be a good time to point out that this movie comes out on the 12th and my birthday is on the 8th. Now I'm not saying that you should take me to see this movie but you should at least think about getting me an AMC gift card.
An "extended tv spot" for Pacific Rim hit the interwebs yesterday. Just in case you were wondering, yes it still looks incrediballs.
Someone in my office who will remain nameless actually thought this movie looked like it was "too much". It's not like I was friends with the guy before he said that, but after he said it he definitely made my enemies list. He's lower than Steve Jobs but he's above the cast of Glee.
It's a new Pacific Rim trailer! So guess what? This movie comes out the day I have a medical procedure scheduled. Medical procedure is what they call it when they're doing something medically enough that they put you under but they don't have to cut you open so you don't have to go to a traditional hospital. In my case they're going to put a camera down my throat to take pictures of my innards and measure the ph of my stomach acid. I assume they will also find out if I have a chocolatey center while they're in there.
I guess what I'm saying is that I probably won't be able to see this opening night, but I totes want to see it on Saturday or Sunday. Also it would be nice if someone else bought my ticket. It's only fair you know 'cause of the MAJOR MEDICAL PROCEDURE I WILL HAVE JUST ENDURED!
Sweet Christmas this movie looks incredible. Giant monsters, robots, Idris Elba. I have no words, seriously, it's like Robot Jox and Cloverfield had a baby and I mean that in the best possible way.
My name is Kevin and I blog, mostly about nerdy stuff. I'm old enough to know that Gobots came before Transformers and geeky enough to care.
