Many of you may be surprised to learn that people have been seeing something that resembles “The Loch Ness Monster” in the San Francisco Bay since the 1800s. Indeed there are hundreds of forms of marine animals and fish that call the area home and, reportedly, some form(s) of aquatic dinosaur(s) may be among their ranks.
For Bill and Bob Clark there is no doubt about it. Since their first encounter with one of these relics from the prehistoric past in 1985 the brothers have seen such creatures several times and cataloged numerous sightings from other eye witnesses.

As I left the Cinemark 16 Theater at the Victor Valley Mall this evening I knew that I had just about everything I needed to write this review of Gareth Edwards’ “Godzilla” swirling around in my head just waiting to explode. I honestly hadn’t had that much fun at the movies in years.

For the filmmakers overseeing such a complex operation, there was perhaps nothing more challenging or exhilarating than the creation of its main event. “Toho had given us their blessing to re-envision the character, but it was equally important to us as well as Toho that Godzilla look like Godzilla,” Tull says. “We wanted to bring him into contemporary reality while not steering too far from the classic silhouette that so many of us grew up with, and Gareth and the entire team walked that line with passion and inspiration.”

I was inspired to go into my DVD collection this weekend and pull out my copy of “The Legend of Boggy Creek” after I had watched the “Monster Quest” episode on the “Fouke Monster” or “The Swamp Stalker of Boggy Creek” as it was referred to on the program, earlier in the week.

There has never been a Bigfoot like this! Styled after the legendary 1976 King Kong remake, this little known import finds a group of scientists and explorers tinkering with mother nature when they stumble upon a centuries-old yeti in the frozen tundra. Of course, their first instinct is to thaw out the savage Sasquatch and profit from him in the name of research and entertainment. But this hairy giant has other plans, and like his cinematic cousin Kong, he’s looking to grab the girl, climb the tallest skyscraper and smash the city to shreds. This snowman is ready to kick major ice!

It is hard to get a good feel for tonight’s BBC documentary “Shooting Bigfoot: America’s Monster Hunters”. At first I was under the impression that it would be a serious program about the Bigfoot phenomena and those of us who try to approach the subject from a scientific point of view.

Of this group of scary Sasquatch flicks two really stand out, one is James Bach’s “Bloody Rage of Bigfoot” (in 3D) because it is so bizarre, and the other is Wes Sullivan’s “Nightbeasts” because it is so promising.
