About The Site Welcome! This site is dedicated to bringing you reviews of daikaiju eiga (giant monster movies) released on DVD. This is my personal favorite film genre, and I created this site to spread the news about how these films are represented on the best home video format, DVD. My goal is to collect and review every edition of every eastern kaiju film that has been released on DVD with either an English language soundtrack or English subtitles. I will also strive to present reviews of every western giant monster film widely available on region 1 DVD. From time to time, I will also post reviews of DVDs which may not be kaiju eiga per se, but which may have some interest for other fans of the genre. However, the heart and soul of this site will always be the most complete and comprehensive collection of eastern kaiju DVD reviews published anywhere. (Click here to read more about the site.) |

News & Updates Friday, September 24: Long Time, No Update. I'm not updating this entire page just yet, but it's long overdue that I add something new here. This last year has been a very different and hectic one for me (but in good ways). Jen and I have a new house, and I started a new job after a long bout of chronic under-employment. Between moving, working on the house, and working for the Man, I haven't gotten around to updating the site in a long time. I *do* hope to get back in the habit of keeping DMI up-to-date, but I don't yet know when. Here's a couple of news tidbits: The original 1933 King Kong arrives on Blu-ray on September 28, and the Warner Archive Collection will unleash The Green Slime on October 26. Later! ***** Older news can be found in the News Archive. ***** |
