VHS : Godzilla VS. Mechagodzilla II
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla (1993) is a great Godzilla movie with great acting, great special effects, a great storyline/plot, and great monsters to go with it.

The Heisei series lays claim to having the best looking and most realistic Godzilla ever! Godzilla's raw power, strength, and animalistic fury make him the true King of the Monsters in this great series of films. Yet, despite his savage nature, Godzilla shows a tender side in this film for his son Godzilla Junior (known as Baby Godzilla in this film).

MechaGodzilla is truelly a force to be feared in this movie. The metalic kaiju reminds me of the Showa MechaGodzilla from the past. Armed with missiles, NT-20 armor, shock ancors, plasma grenade, and a mega-buster beam from the mouth; this MechaGodzilla is ready ... Read More

VHS : Cruel Story of Youth
After releasing his debut film Street of Love and Hope in 1959, Oshima would be quick to release three films in quick succession in 1960: Cruel Story of Youth, Burial of the Sun, and Night and Fog in Japan. While such output might make one think that the end results of the films might be a bit shoddy due to the hastiness in their creation, in fact all three of the films are important films not only within the realms of Oshima's filmic work, but for Japanese new wave cinema as a whole.

Oshima began 1960 with a bang when Cruel Story of Youth was released. A genre film, fully embedded within the late 1950s, early 1960s tradition of youth films or Sun Tribe films made popular by directors Masamura Yasuzo and Nakahira Ko, Cruel Story of Youth goes beyond its formulaic groundings to be ...

VHS : The Sun's Burial
This is a really good film once you get used to the charcters and understand a little about Oshima. There are definitely no heroes here. But you come to admire Hanako's tenacious struggle to survive in the changing underworld of Osaka. What sticks with you afterwards is the incredible beauty of the shots which always seem to take place at dawn or dusk when the sky looks incredible. Combined with the bleak industrial landscape of the city, its haunting.

This is my second favorite Oshima film, my favorite being Death By Hanging which I can't find on video for the life of me. That one will blow your mind.
