Fall 2011 Update

Been wanting the Gamera 3 review? Well, if you have been looking here for it, it shows that you should look at the actual youtube page for it’s been up since August 31st. So, haven’t seen it yet? Watch it! Dan’s evaluation of the film brings some points which are fresh who some, like this blog’s keeper, find interesting. Different strokes for different folks, and you can learn from different points of view.



As normal, with this blog’s main keeper (G2KMaster) being lazy, here is a slew of collection videos which you fans should watch, from Dan’s explaining of his new grabs to Vic’s possible taking over of the show!

Unboxing Kaiju 6-25-2011

For those of you KMR-mites, tune in for another episode of KMR! This episode details a trade which Dan has made with Mike Russo. One of the more prolific collectors in the fandom, Mike and Dan's trade came out with Dan getting three very interesting pieces including a rare theatre exclusive! Watch and find out!

Summer Update

Welcome to the newest blog post in some time followers of the Kaiju Movie Review. In this entry, we have the rest of the videos that Dan and his point. They are all figure reviews and unboxings (and one other), and nicely executed ones at that. With that out of the way, let us make a couple of points. One, the review of GAMERA 3: INCOMPLETE STRUGGLE is still being made. Dan hasn’t forgotten, it is just taking time to do, so be patient. Continuing from that point, for all of those who visit the youtube channel page, please do not post anything which could be considered rude to Dan and company. One member posted the comment "REPLY PLEASE" (the caps were part of the original message). Please know that Dan is a man with a family and job and a real life. Please do not expect videos to be coming out regularly. He is not getting paid for this.



I hope you enjoy the videos listed here and stay tuned for more from the Kaiju Movie Review! And we want to give a shout out to our fans, KMR has over 500 subscribers! Thank you!

February Update... Ultra Kaiju Invade the Wickwire Household!

Apologies to Dan Wickwire and the rest of the KMR group for not updating the blog like one should. Dan seems to be getting a good amount of merch lately. In an interesting move, Dan’s son Vic guest stars. So, if you want to see some videos with a bit of cuteness, you will enjoy these.

KMR Grindhouse Tripple Feature

Don't ask for G3... or you may not get it. ;)

Kaiju Showcase - 1989 Astromons

Kaiju Showcase: Windam

For the first time in some time, Daniel Wickwire gives us a new video. Particularly of an Ultra kaiju - Windam. Complete with an overview of the kaiju's history in the Ultra franchise, review of the figure, and clips from his apperances in the series, this is a cool review that no Ultra otaku - Henshin otaku for that matter - should miss out. Special thanks goes to KaijuNoMura for the beginning animation. To view more of KaijuNoMura's work, go to the link below:

The people at KMR though would appreciate it if no one asks about the hyped review of "Gamera 3: Incomplete Struggle". It will be uploaded as soon as we can. Thank you.

KMR Review.. "Monster From Green Hell"!

Dan has given us another good review. This time, it is the film, "The Monster from Green Hell". Say what you will about the Asylum films and Syfy Channel original productions, but this film seems to take the cake. Pay attention though, for Dan still manages to make this fail of a film look interesting with a GINO gag, exagerrated voices, and last but not least, the epic trailer for the next film on Dan's list - "Gamera 3: Incomplete Struggle", the last of the Heisei Gamera trilogy and easily the most awaited.

In other news, Dan and this blog's editor - Evan Brehany AKA G2KMaster - would like to invite you to "100ymm.com".

Dan and I (along with other people like horror hosts Borloff and Rob Dimension along with tokusatsu afficionado and historian proffesional August Ragone) go to this event. It is free on your computer. Every friday, starting at 8:00pm, 100ymm.com shows two public domain monster/sci-fi/horror films. Along with that, a popular horror host is chosen to host the films. Free giveaways are also present so remember your trivia! Both Dan and I owned it two weeks ago's show. If we can, you can! So remember - on Fridays, 8pm, two monster films along with a horror host and prizes. It is a great time and will defiently make the saying "Thank God It's Friday" worth two in the bush.

Just for the record, here are some of the films the site has shown:

1. The Devil Bat

2. Yongary, Monster from the Deep

3. Gappa, The Triphibian Monster

4. Driller Killer (mention this in the chat and see what happens)

KMR Modle - S.S.S.S. "Godzilla On Monster Island" Interviews

In this episode, we do not get a regular review. Instead, Dan was blessed to come down to Atlanta, Georgia where he attented the Plaza Atlanta's "Silver Scream Spook Show" program in which they were showing "Godzilla vs. Gigan", which this time around the print shown was of the Cinema Shares edit, "Godzilla On Monster Island". In the video, Dan (with Angela Wickwire being the camera operator) interviews three people, Evan Brehany (internet pseudonym "G2KMaster"), Shane Morton under the guise of "Proff. Morte", and Tohokingdom member "Goji". It was a really fun time and we hope that you enjoy these interviews. Hopefully this will inspire you the next time a kaiju film or any film of your liking gets shown at the Plaza Atlanta. People from Tokyo and Zimbabwe come to see these shows, so you should see them too! Enjoy!

KMR Special: "George Romero's Day of the Dead"

This is a very special episode of KMR. Requested by Rob Dimension and company of Late Night Horror Hotel, Dan reviews a film from one of his favorite genres aside from tokusatsu eiga - zombie films! Dan gives a good review with a good many points given, though the review is one of his more serious. The review is great and it is reccomended that people interesting needs to see the film. Check it out!

KMR Review "Gamera 2: Region Shurai"

Here it is, the one that all of you have been rioting for. It is a giant terapin against the monarch of all symbiotic insectoids, it is "Gamera 2: Advent of Legion" other wise known as "G2: Gamera vs Legion" (for those of you who have the Japanese VHS). Dan makes this one of the best episodes ever with the amount comedy but strong analysis of the film. And look at the end credits for accouple of familiar names. Keep an eye open though for the next film, "Monster from Green Hell".

On a side note, though who would like to have some fun with Dan and company can come to http://www.100ymm.com/ and chat while watching a double feature of some campy but fun horror and science fiction films! And do not forget that on the 23rd, Rom Dimension and company of the Late Night Horror Hotel (which is having Dan review a very special horror film) is hosting a double feature of the Japanese rarity "Gappa, the Triphibian Monster" and Godzilla's Seoul brother, "Yongary, Monster from the Deep." Keep your eyes peeled!

KMR Hits the Road

Here is a video by Dan W. detailing that he will be attending the Silver Scream Spook Show. Anyone who would like to be on the show and such can come and say "hi" to Dan and company and have him film you (since he is taking up footage). For more information, visit the link below:

Shoutouts

We here at the Kaiju Movie Review would like to mention and give our thanks to Late Night Horror Hotel, who has given us a shoutout on one of their videos. While still a small youtube channel, we expect them to grow with their reviews and such and it should be an interesting venture. Yes, they will do some stuff for us. And Dan is going to do a review for them for the George A. Romero classic, "Day of the Dead". Be watching...

In other news, Dan - owner and creator of KMR - has recently appeared in another video. To quote him, "My self and a group from the forum of Thatguywiththeglasses.com did a collab project to go along with some happenings on the sites main page. Didn't have a lot of time to work on the video. But I'm guessing you guys can figure out which part is mine." Go check it out. And watch the whole video. We support Kickassia!

New Review: "The Great Behemoth"

"Got a great new review for you, just finished it up last night. The Giant Behemoth is a film I watched a lot growing up. Unfortunately is didn't hold up nearly as well as I remembered. None the less, its still an entertaining film. That aside, what the hell is up with the title? "The Giant Behemoth" talk about fucking redundant. Enjoy the video folks."
-Dan

That is pretty much it for this review. Any and all updates with the KMR crew and their activities can be seen through the video. More news to come in time...

KQ Review: "Geharha, The Long and Dark Haired Monster"

Kaiju Quickie is back as Steph Hughes comments on Kiyotaka Taguchi's newest short, "Geharha, The Long And Dark Haired Monster." Steph keeps enough of the short secret so not to spoil the film. Steph gives it a fair review, one which many may agree with.

.

That being said, we at KMR realize that this film is not yet released here in the states. And though the Japanese DVD and blu-ray has subtitles, not all of you in this poor economy can buy it or want to buy it. With those delimas, there is a site on the internet which has the film. The link below goes to a blog entry at JournalismG2KM. There you will find the link to the film plus a subtitle transcript which one can read if desired. Personaly speaking, "Geharha" is a good kaiju film, the best since GMK and is worth your time. Please watch it sometime. Arigato!

"Gamera: Daikaiju Kuchu Kessen" Review

Finaly, the long awaited G1 review has been put up. And it is a nice review. Dan seems to hold back on some information for the future viewer's sake, which is a good thing for the most part. Picture quality seems to be something which some may want to pay attention to since it is the same print from the R2 DVD. This is a nice little review, and pay attention for the next review will not be G2 but rather "The Giant Behemoth".

.

Some new stuff seems to be comming up. A new episode of "Kaiju Quickie" (a review short done periodically by Stephanie Hughes) is on the way. Another new short is also on the horizon, though progress seems to be going slow and it may not ultimately developed. More information will be released the closer we get to comfirmation.

.

Don't forget to donate alittle! Your donation helps Dan's family therefore helps him not worry so much about finances and do what he likes to do: make giant monster film reviews for us, the fans!

New Update

Speaks for itself.

NEW VIDEO: "Pushing Poducts"

Well people, it is that time again for another video from KMR. This time around, it is more of an advertisement for one of KMR's favorite companies out there which produce quality kaiju DVDs. With the video's script written by Evan Brehany, watch the video to find out some information "that you may just enjoy". Along with the fact that this video features clips from the Gamera trilogy in full HD, but also acts like a precursor to Dan's highly anticipated reviews for the Heisei Gamera trilogy.

.

In other news, plans are that KMR may merge and be part of Kaiju Galaxy community (like the blog "JournalismG2KM"). Nothing too serious at the moment. In other news, the same company mentioned in the above video is going to do something spectacular: get KMR to have it's first DVD release. Done in the spirit of non-profit, it may be a good buy for those lucky fans. Last piece of news includes a possible new show being tacked on. More news to be revealed soon. Check back!

KMR Episode 21: "The Return of Godzilla" (1984)

Finaly this long awaited review is here. For those more critical on Dan's reviews, you should see an improvement. Instead of filming parts with himself actualy in the review, he voice overs clips from the film - keeping the pace of the review fast, clean, and simple. A very nice review, especialy with the feleing that it was talored to regular film goers, not just tokusatsu otaku like what you - the reader - most probrably is.

Don't forget to stay tuned after the credits do you can see the trailer for the next film Dan is reviewing: "Gamera: Giant Monster Midair Showdown" (GGOTU; 1995).
