ADV Films Burn it into your brain and eat it with your cereal- for only then will you know who truly knows nothing of the chapter skip feature the DVD Gods gave us, and ADV so foolishly threw away. But you do get a neet soundtrack with this release. Man, I wish someone else had rights to this…

Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $5.97
Sony If you watch this movie, then the next one is your fault. Nice disk- I wish there was a Godzilla theme park…

Buy used from: $98.49
*Godzilla vs. Megalon ??? Rhino? Who really owns this one? Only the people of Sea-topia know for sure. I put the link for the MST3K version for now (can I really edit this later?)… See it like the Dolphin wants you to see it. I’d be angry if I was married to him too. Why does it cost so much?

Legend of Dinosaurs & Monster Birds (Dub Sub)Legend of Dinosaurs & Monster Birds (Dub Sub)
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $11.99
Tokyo Shock I had a VHS tape recorded off what might have been Connecticut Public Access. There was a scientist, and he made an invisible man drink orange juice (not in this movie). This movie is really good. It has puppets, and volcanoes, and aqua suits. A horse is graphically dead. A woman loses a leg and is then drooled on. Giant eyes are gouged by giant birds.

Buy new: $16.49 / Used from: $10.99
Sony Cheap, cheap, cheap. Early Sony double feature release. No widescreen. No Japanese. Probably cut. Something about Hamtaro. Maybe we’ll see better releases in the future- but this is it for now.

Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $5.43
Sony Not bad- this is one of the newer Sony discs, so at least it’s widescreen. Right?

Godzilla 2000Godzilla 2000
Buy new: $11.49 / Used from: $2.17
Sony Some feel this is better than the Japanese disc- what with sound effects and lighter picture. Who am I to say? Go buy a Yoko Ono album- maybe I’ll talk to you then. (I really like her).
Godzilla vs. MegaguirusGodzilla vs. Megaguirus
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $4.68
Sony This was fun. Black holes are a good idea. So are backhoes. If you send me gifts, I will sleep. Will I wake up in time to meet my friends for breakfast tomorrow? Will you?
