Gamera

Many widely consider Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris the best daikaiju movie since the original Godzilla. Since the first two are already on Blu-ray, it only makes that this final installment in the epic 1990’s Gamera trilogy finally get its blu due, as well as a certain giant stone samurai.

Gamera is really neat. Gamera is filled with meat. We'll all be eating Gamera this August when Shout! Factory releases the latest "Mystery Science Theater 3000" box set comprised entirely of the five old school Gamera movies featured on the show back in its prime.

It's a very mixed bag this week for horror title releases. We're not sure how Dread-worthy the supernatural drama Hereafter (directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matt Damon, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jay Mohr) is but have included it because of its afterlife aspects.

It's hard to believe that we're already at the end of Shout! Factory's release of the original Gamera franchise. The final two films are here, and we have to admit we're a little sad but happy to have every film looking and sounding better than ever! If only there were Blu-rays on the horizon ...

One DVD we are DYING for is Shout! Factory's re-release of the original Gamera, The Giant Monster, if only so we can throw out all those awful cheapo copies that have been permeating the marketplace forever now. To get fans even more excited, two clips of the remastered flick have hit online, and we have them both for you right here.

Looking to spend more than a few hours watching giant monsters wreck cities with reckless abandon? We knew there was a reason why we liked you sickos so much!

Last week we had the pleasure of reporting on the glorious news that after dozens of piss-poor DVD editions, Gamera was finally going to get his digital due thanks to Shout! Factory. Today we have a look at the DVD art and some really vintage promotional stills from the flick!

Timing can be a funny thing. Just a couple of nights ago I was sitting in my bedroom at 2:00 am watching old Gamera movies, and today we get a press release that has us grinning from ear-to-ear!

Shout! Factory continues to be the DVD company after the b-genre movie fans heart. As if a special edition DVD of Kingdom of the Spiders coming in January wasn't enough, Shout! now has a quartet of Roger Corman produced aquatic creature features and old school Gamera flicks in the pipeline. How's that for a reason to shout?
