Bio: I am mostly a fan of the various post-1965 horror genres, Asian films (not just gong-fu) and South American horror and sci-fi.
I have an extensive background in computers, video games, and movies. I own most of the major video game consoles and an extensive film library of more than 3500D VDs and VCDs and over 600 VHS/Beta tapes, as well as a growing number of Asian-specific formats such as CH-DVD, CVD and HVD movies. Not to mention dozens of LDs, JVC Video Disks, videographs, 8- and 35-mm r2r films....
I also formerly write articles for four different international print electronics magazines as well as numerous online columns and now have two books pending publication; one an in-depth (nearly 3000 page) review of the history of audio and video media formats and the other a complete history of video games (3 volumes running nearly 2000 pages each), including technically detailed information of every system and respective game that has come about since 1969.
I am capable of fluently reading/writing more than 20 languages and have a strong interest in international lifestyles and art.

1 Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) - Oct 10, 2009
Mini-Review: This butchered American release was far from the 9.5 I gave the original. Raymond Burr was never a great actor to begin with, always propped up by better actors(s) around him. Problem is there is no real supporting cast for him here, and it shows. Typical political recutting of Anti-American-weapons international films of the time period; watch Gojira, stay far away from this; they've cut out huge parts of the movie, changed the story, and shoved in Raymond Burr. Not worth the pain of watching.
89 Alice (1988) - Nov 23, 2010
Mini-Review: BY FAR one of the best variants; and the only to capture the dark, politically charged undertones of the original writing. This is also one of the few that leaves you walking away with the book's intended 'how real was it' ideas. The ONLY Alice in Wonderland film to truly delve into the writer's no-so-overt study of where does the line between fantasy and reality end.
80 Black Sabbath (1963) - Jul 31, 2010
Mini-Review: Classic tales of terror. Not really horror but definitely a must for fans of classic audio/radio series such as Inner Sanctum and Lights Out. All three stories have been the base for many, MANY, modern films, from Don't answer the Phone, and Once Past Midnight; to Babysitter. Enjoy in whatever format you can grab it in.
98 Kick-Ass (2010) - Jul 16, 2010
Mini-Review: With a film style kung-fu gore-fest straight out of 1980s Japan vengeance movies, this film is as under-rated as it is misunderstood! Sit back, relax, and enjoy the film.
50 Sex (1992) - Nov 06, 2010
Mini-Review: Madonna is ALWAYS watchable but this is just a montage of clips on Hi-8 (NOT super-8) thrown together to LOOK like a film.
42 Black Devil Doll (2007) - May 08, 2010
Mini-Review: Soft-core hard-gore part sequel part remake of the 1984 film BDD. Lots of t&a. infact, there's so much t&a that there's little else in the film. That is: except for the scat, water sports, and necrophilia; and a bit of blood and murder as well. A total side note: most of the women are or have been involved with Big Top Entertainment. My thoughts: As a fan of the Guinea Pig films, Emily Haack's films, & just about anything, else, this didn't offend me other than that they sold it as a "film"
98 Godzilla (1954) - Oct 08, 2009
Mini-Review: Gojira: 98 the true king of all monsters, the god, all hail.... Godzilla, King of the monsters (US re-cut): 01 American butchered version with the well-deserved and well-earned anti-American anti-atomic messages removed. Gojira's appearance makes it get better than a 0 but there's nothing that can make up for the crap that was shoved on american audiences with some inferior, low-talent, worthless acting of Raymond Burr; by far one of the MOST OVERRATED lack-of-talents of all time.
98 Warning: Parental Advisory (2002) - Aug 20, 2010
Mini-Review: A look back at the religious inquisition against the first amendment; the fight that was won by the artists, and the folding and giving in of the uber-rich record execs had ratherd protected their own fortunes than stand up for the artists they refused to protect.
90 Blooded (2011) - May 05, 2011
Mini-Review: Hunting is: MURDER! There is not, will not be, and never was any difference between murdering homosapiens and murdering ("hunting") other animals. I don't know if this film is really based on some actual happening or not. Couldn't care less if it was. If this really happened those murdering bastards got exactly what they deserved. I feel NO PITY. If the story is made up, then it's about time someone made a piece of investigative art such as this that shows the REALITIES of hunting.
67 Jungle Holocaust (1977) - Jun 16, 2011
Mini-Review: If you find yourself wondering what this is a sequel to, the answer is nothing. This film was originally intended to be Sacrifice 2, but the plan was scraped during filming over payment and rights/royalties. It was then redirected as the third Ferox film. That also was scraped and the later filmed parts were to stand alone. However none of the already filmed material was dumped. So in it's true uncut form the film is graphic and violent; but impossible to follow.
