The video intro to GORGO I filmed for Archeo-Heritage Film is available to watch now on YouTube! I'm proud of this one, and very satisfied with the parallels I draw between the film and a particularly dark period in Ireland's history. Enjoy! π

Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

New translation!
This week Iβve translated the short documentary Ise-Shima, the 1949 directorial debut from the man behind Godzilla, Ishiro Honda!
Enjoy the start of one of the most famous names in movies, the first instance of underwater filming in Japan, and lots of post-war anxieties!
The programme notes I wrote for tomorrow's Gamera screenings at BFI Southbank (4K restorations of GAMERA, GAMERA VS. BARUGON, and GAMERA VS. GYAOS!) are available to read, download, and print now: tinyurl.com/BFIgameranotes

I am once again asking for a boutique Blu-ray label to license Tomoo Haraguchiβs terrific sword-and-spooks actioner SAKUYA: THE SLAYER OF DEMONS. So much to love - not least cameos from the creature cast of the β60s YOKAI MONSTERS movies and special effects by Shinji Higuchi!

A pencil sketch of Gamera angrily slamming his hand down to block an ICE terrorist from kidnapping a child (whom Gamera holds in his other hand, well away from the thug).
ICE is no friend of children.

GAMERA, GAMERA VS. BARUGON, and GAMERA VS. GYAOS screen at BFI Southbank this Saturday (28 Feb) in brand-new 4K restorations! This marks the first time these editions will be shown theatrically outside Japan. The films are accompanied by specially written programme notes fresh from my desk πππ©Έ

I prefer it as a work of art rather than a brand. I will watch this new thing but I can't really get excited for it.

Absolutely bloody loved BRUSH OF THE GOD, the first and final film by master monster maker KeizΓ΄ Murase. Astonishing that such an intricate work of whimsical, practical high fantasy came from a first time (!) feature director in his late 80s. Thereβll never be another.
