   >    I shelled out the $21 for Kenako's All Out Monster Attack , mostly   
   because I want to support these US releases ... and I think it's the best G   
   film in a looooong time...   
      
   Agreed! I loved GMK a lot (it goes great with the Gamera Trilogy.... if you   
   have a day off and are in a kaiju kind of mood)!   
      
   .... but for the life of me I can't see paying anymore than $10 for   
    the Meguirus (sp-?) flick ...   
      
   MEGAGUIRUS   ;-)   
      
   >I thought it was one of the worst efforts in a looooong time ...   
      
   I also agree. I was really disappointed with it. Swarms of killer bugs led   
   by a GIANT single bug has been done better in "Godzilla vs. Destroyah" and   
   "Gamera: Advent of Legion," especially the latter. G vs. Megaguirus was   
   pretty bad but you need it if you're a true Godzilla fan! Just like you need   
   Godzilla's Revenge!   
      
   >what's the take on the two newer flicks . the Mecha do-overs... ?   
      
   I liked Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla  however the human drama in the story   
   kind of sucks. MechaG is somewhat impressive (in that his skeleton and DNA   
   are that of the original Godzilla) and it was good to see some old footage   
   of past kaiju films (including "War of the Gargantuas!!!" The only movie   
   where a Mazer effectively wounds a daikaiju!). Overall it's one of the   
   better entries into the recent series of G-Films (probably a notch above   
   Godzilla 2000). Still waiting for GXMGXM: Tokyo S.O.S.   
      
   > And where are the best prices... ?   
      
   Well Wal-Mart doesn't carry them as far as I've seen, Circuit City didn't   
   have them last time I checked, but Best Buy did and they wanted $20.99 + tax   
   for each one. That's the best price I have seen. I'm sure you can find them   
   cheaper on Amazon and other online retailers. Or you could go the really   
   cheap route and either by a DVD-R or a VCD of the films.... but that's if   
   you're desperate and low on cash. ;-)  I'm looking forward to seeing what   
   Ryuhei Kitamura does for Godzilla: Final Wars by the way. I loved VERSUS and   
   I think he has what it takes to send Godzilla out in a big way.... or just   
   make a bad kaiju film with flashy effects or a paper-thin plot. That way it   
   can fit in well with the last few G-films. ;-)
