OMG!!! The exclamation point at the end of the title is well deserved!
It has been confirmed that “Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo”, a short Tokusatsu (special effects) movie created by Studio Ghibli and originally screened in theatres alongside “Evangelion 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo” will be included on the “Evangelion 3.33” Blu Ray/DVD released on 24 April 2013.
“Kyoshinhei Tokyo ni Arawaru” (Giant God Warriors Appear in Tokyo) is a short Tokusatsu movie created as a promotional video for the “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Exhibition” at “TOKUSATSU – Special Effects Museum”, which has Anno Hideaki (Eva’s director) as museum director, in Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. The movie was proposed to be shown with “Evangelion 3.0” by Suzuki Toshio and Anno Hideaki agreed with that. As a movie version, its pictures and sounds will we re-modified and it has the total length of 10:07 minutes. The movie features “Kyoshinhei” (Giant God Warriors) from “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind” and it was made to show the fascination and the fun of Miniature Tokusatsu.
Wild Things spawned three direct to video sequels that are various degrees of copies of the original. Wild Things 2 was okay, while Wild Things 3 was much better (and was the first mega-popular review on TarsTarkas.NET, racking up over half a million hits!) Wild Things 4 basically had a foursome instead of a threesome for the signature sex scene all of the Wild Things movies have. That’s about all I know about it, because even I stopped caring. But the time to not not care has returned, because there might be a new Wild Things movie called Wild Child Things and it sounds all sorts of messed up. Wild Things director John McNaughton and writer Stephen Peters have collaborated and came up with…well…
“It’s not one of the sequels, but about their children,” he says. OK, that sounds odd, but just wait. It gets real crazy. “Do you know the Amanda Knox case? It’s something like that. Something that’s like the child of Suzie Toller [Campbell’s character], she claimed that Matt Dillon’s [character] had raped her a long time ago and maybe there is a child and maybe Bill Murray’s character had a child and they’re exchange students and things get out of hand.”
Yeah. Okay. Well, hopefully this get made, because, why the heck not? I demand it!
Men in ridiculous rubber monster suit films are always the best movies ever, so that already makes Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You! awesome before we get to the funny title and campy styles. If anything, we need so many dudes in rubber monster suits that they start fighting each other and ignoring the screaming humans, who then tire of screaming and just sit and watch the carnage. Then they’re eaten by the winners! But enough about my dumb ideas, let’s talk about Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You!
A vicious monster has arisen from its watery lair! It’s the Riverbeast, and he’s threatening a peaceful New England town. Local tutor Neil Stuart has seen the beast before, but nobody believed his story, making him the town laughingstock. Neil sets out not only to prove that the Riverbeast exists but also, with the help of his beautiful pupil, scrappy tutor buddies, and a former professional athlete, to vanquish the aquatic menace!
Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You! is an all-new movie from the makers of Freaky Farley and Monsters, Marriage, and Murder in Manchvegas. It’s directed by Charles Roxburgh and stars Matt Farley, Sharon Scalzo, Kevin McGee, Elizabeth Peterson, Tiffany L’Heureux, Bryan Fortin, Chris Peterson, Millhouse G, Jim Farley, Jim McHugh, and Tom Scalzo as Teddy Hollingsworth.
Director Scott Wheeler(Transmorphers: Fall of Man, Celebrity Sex Tape) gives us Avalanche Sharks! Yes, it is another movie about a shark in the snow:
Spring break in the mountains: snowboarding, beer, drunken co-eds in bikinis. As the yearly Bikini Ski Day party descends on a small mountain town, something lurks beneath the snow. When an unwitting rider causes an avalanche, it awakens a huge, menacing, pre-historic Snow Shark! With a newfound taste for human flesh, the Snow Shark picks off the snow bunnies mercilessly. Cut off from help by mountainous terrain and blinding snow, the local sheriff must make an unlikely alliance with a motley crew of snowboarders to take down the Snow Shark before the white hills run red with blood!
Avalanche Sharks stars a whole bunch of attractive ladies judging from the imdb pictures, though only Erika Jordan is familiar to me. Besides her, we got Emily Addison, Kate Nauta, Kelle Cantwell, Erin Ross, Mika Brooks, Nicole Helen, and Patrizia Cavaliere. I guess it’s good to be the king….of casting!
Expect Avalanche Sharks to show up on SyFy eventually, probably on the same day they do a rerun of Snow Shark, and maybe Sand Sharks, as this is a quasi-sequel.
It’s that time again! No, not time to bury the hatchet! I’m still bitter after all these years, Tina Yothers… It’s time to link a bunch of cool posts on cool blogs and then some news stories and stuff and ramble on a bit.
**Coelacanth DNA makes mice sprout limbs! The genes are probably related to how ancient fish switched from fins to legs as walking on land became a bigger and bigger lure.
ZombOObies exploded onto the social web last year, but there hasn’t been much news since then about the film being completed. What looks like a cool take on the Sushi Typhoon ultra gore flicks will hopefully see the light of day in 2013. The awesome Cathy Shim stars with Diana Toshiko and Marisa Tayui. Francois Fujimoto directs. Official site here.

Next up from the world of Noboru Iguchi is Nuigulumar Z (ヌイグルマーZ), about a girl who has the power to merge with her pink teddy bear to become a super hero to defeat zombies. Obviously. It’s based on an novel Hōsei Ningen Nuigurumā by Kenji Ohtsuki, which is based on a song by his band Tokusatsu called “Tatakae! Nuigulumar”.
Shoko Nakagawa will play Yumeko Ayukawa, nicknamed Dameko, a lolita-wearing girl who merges with her teddy bear Buusuke to form Nuigulumar. Rina Takeda will play the merged Nuigulumar, complete with pink bear costume. In addition, Takeda also will play a villain character named Kill Billy. Which means we might see Takeda battle herself! Who will win…
As usual, the combination of Rina Takeda and Noboru Iguchi makes this a must-watch in my book!
, and is due out May 21st!
