Nights in the Rodan

Coming soon, the new daikaiju flick Nights in the Rodan!

Nights

Sure, the poster has a translation error and put the “the” in the wrong spot, but who isn’t looking forward to more Rodan? After we spend out nights in the Rodan, let’s spend some days with Mothra!

Cleavagefield and Monster

promo

Cleavagefield is an erotic parody of the Cloverfield film from the mind of Jim Wynorski. What started out as a joke on the Retromedia forum has blossomed into a full-scale movie production, filled with naked chicks and a giant monster.

Plot:

A bunch of hot chicks are having a slumber party for their friend Tiffany, who’s off to Sweden to make a high end Triple X movie. The festivities are in high gear; but then a giant monster inexplicably invades Los Angeles. One girl videos everything as the babes make a run for it through the city. But there are more things to beware of beside the monster. According to some naked hotties seen in an alley way, the monster is covered with moth-mites that drop off its slimy body then attack unwary female victims, chewing off their clothes. It’s a harrowing night for all involved.

Not the only Cloverfield-style film coming out. The Polonia Brothers, who gave the world Feeders, Feeders 2, and many more movies some people would rather forget, have one last film coming out. (Last due to the untimely death of John Polonia at 39) This film is called Monster, and . Oddly enough, the Asylum ripoff movie of Cloverfield ended up simply being called Monster, and by all accounts it was the worst movie the Asylum ever did. Will Mark and John Polonia redeem the movie title Monster?

Bigger and badder than CLOVERFIELD… more intense than BLAIR WITCH… it’s America’s most monstrous home movies! Eight rolls of badly damaged 16mm film reveal one of the most bizarre cover-ups in the annals of true-life events. Suppressed from the public, the contents of the film cans unspool, telling the simple documentation of four buddies and their weekend outdoors, but quickly turning into a terrifying menace in the form of strange reptilian lizards. Did they rise from the lake? What was left of the town they trampled underfoot? Could they be tied in to all the disappearances? Don’t believe everything you see… experience it!

More monster fun in 2008!

Gualagon

I got this email recently from Avery:

Now’s our chance guys!!!! They’re giving us a chance to let them know if we want ‘GUALAGON’ and they’ve given’ us a better explanation of the project; on the official website there is now[at the left hand bottom corner] an option for English: “A hearty Hello to all of you international Kaiju Fans out there! We’ve noticed, that our Gualagon project has created a lot of interest in the community, so we decided to include this text on the website as well.
First of all, let us clear up some misunderstandings. Gualagon will be a radioplay (although the term radioplay is not quite appropriate, since this will not be played on the radio, therefore we prefer the term audioplay) and not a movie. Apparently there had been two facts that led people to believe, that Gualagon will be a movie. Although it is correct that the main creative person behind the project is indeed the same Ralf Lorenz who helmed the (in)famous Kongula Movie Project, this time he decided to create and produce an audioplay. This was not done due to budgetary reasons, as some people believe, but because this time he wanted to make sure that he would have a team behind him to ensure the completion of the project. The other reason for people to think we would be doing a movie, was the button marked ‘trailer’. There will be a trailer on our homepage soon, alas it will be an audio trailer only.
Also there were reports that there will be a comic book etc. for Gualagon. Neither a comic book nor other variations of the project are planned right now. There was also speculation on an english version of the audioplay. Sorry to disappoint you again, but so far we are not considering this as anything that will happen soon, if ever. Of course we would love to do all those things, but at the moment our tight budget will not permit us to do so. However, we are considering to release the soundtrack separately, including an English booklet, if there is enough demand for it. So send us an E-Mail: : [email protected] and let us know what you think.” Speak now or forever hold your peace. Maybe, they’ll except donations as well, since their budget seems to be the issue?? Anything you can offer would be of help. All it takes is one e-mail!!!!Even if you’re not able to donate, at least send them an -mail to let them know how bad you really want “GUALAGON”.

Sounds great, but you are probably wondering “WTF is Gualagon??” Well, here you go!:

Gualagon – Frankenstein’s Schreckengigant (Gualagon – Frankenstein’s Fright Giant)

The Story (rough translation)

In 1966, just off the Japanese coast, the freighter Asahi Maru fights its way through a heavy storm, when something incomprehensible happens: the ship is destroyed and the only survivor maintains that it was destroyed by a gigantic kraken-like monster! Professor Tamblyn, specialist at the Serizawa institute in those forms of gigantism caused by radiation, examines the wreck of the ship and is dismayed to realise that a tremendous danger threatens Japan! While the military mobilises and naval forces patrol the coastline, reporters Keisuke Kusano and Isao Ogawa come upon traces of the monster Gualagon — and thereby put themselves in deadly danger. Panic breaks out when the monster comes ashore one night and attacks Osaka… The race is on for scientists to develop new weapons to deal with the fright giant of Frankenstein! From the depths of the sea he comes! Inexorably, gigantically, all destroying!

So it is a German daikaiju audio play done in the style of the classic Japanese monster movies. Note some of the Godzilla-universe names in the summary. Sounds like this will be a nice tribute. If you are interested, be sure and tell them so!

Starship Troopers 3

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder (Review)

Starship Troopers 3: Marauder


2008
Directed by Edward Neumeier

Would you like to know more? Because we got more! More bugs, more troopers, more kill them all! Get your war on and suit up, trooper! You want to live forever? Johnny Rico is back! That alone makes this film rule. Plus, Edward Neumeier returns to help bring this franchise back on track. He wrote the first two films, but directs this one. Starship Troopers 2 wasn’t very good, mostly limited due to the budget, and also kept the satire to just bookend portions while the bulk of the film was just people talking in dark rooms. Now we have less talking and more killing, which is just what we like here at TarsTarkas.NET! Join the Federation today, the Federation of citizens who read this review of Starship Troopers 3: Marauder! Don’t drown in the satire!

Colonel Johnny Rico (Casper Van Dien) – Johnny Rico is back! Where would we be without Casper telling us to “Kill ’em all!”? Nowhere, that’s where. And that is where the previous DTV sequel went. Johnny Rico is now a Colonel, and has been on the front the entire time. This makes him more sympathetic to the plight of local farmers.
Lola Beck (Jolene Blalock) – She’s the personal pilot for the Sky Marshall, and a tough broad who is entertaining as well. Has a thing for Dix. T’Pol is here doing her best imitation of Angelina Jolie and Denise Richards morphed into one.
General Dix Hauzer (Boris Kodjoe) – Johnny Rico’s old friend is now a bigwig in the government. They still dress in very Nazi-esque clothes. In love with Lola Beck. The guy who replaced Doogie Howser is Dix Hauzer…
Sky Marshall Omar Anoke (Stephen Hogan) – Psychic and a singer, the leader of all human-kind. Yes, seriously. Eventually wanders into a gigantic mouth vagina.
Admiral Enolo Phid (Amanda Donohoe) – Some random Admiral, she’s probably not important, even though she’s pretending to be the missing Sky Marshall and imprisoning people who blab. Oh, wait…

InWTF?

DS9 Surprise!

I don’t normally think stuff like this is funny, but this one is pretty well done and not as obnoxious.
