We started a couple of years ago, watching and reviewing about ninety kaiju-type films in the lead-up to the release of Godzilla (2014).
Last year, we watched and reviewed about seventy-five Universal & Hammer-style classic monster movies.
Now, at my son’s request, we've watched and reviewed the filmography of the great Ray Harryhausen.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Harryhausen about a decade ago at an event wherein he discussed his career. It was a cool event, largely because he screened the then-unreleased completed version of his “Tortoise & Hare” short. (The only black mark, in my opinion, came when he criticized the recent movie King Kong [2005] for being soulless. I thoroughly disagree with him on that point.)
