For 50 years, Godzilla has made us laugh, cry, and cheer. He is sometimes a terrifying god of death....and so metimes a cheesy super hero. Him, along with every other TOHO and DAIEI kaiju, is unknown and mysterious. One thing is certain: He is the KING OF THE MONSTERS! Explore this page made for beginners and enthusiasts, and maybe you'll have a newfound respect for Japanese monsters. This is my testimony to the people who constructed and wore rubber monster suits that crushed miniature buildings. Text by Shane Smith.

The Legend. He will be missed <:(
Update: 2-9-06 - It is with deep sadness that I report that the maestro of some of the most beautiful music ever composed has passed on. Akira Ifukube, composer of masterworks such as Godzilla('54) and Rodan('56), has left our world for an eternal paradise at the age of 91, due to multiple organ failure at a hospital in Tokyo. He was known as the man who knows more about Gojira than anyone else. This brings to an end to the legacy of the four fathers of modern Japanese cinema. He shall be missed terribly, even though many of us didn't know him. But it seems like we did, through the perfect music he composed that we took for granted from our childhoods of watching rubber suits clash and scream. There are two more updates, much less melancholy mind you. the first is that http://www.monsterzero.us has some new pics of an awesomely designed Jidas from Gamera 4. This enemy of the tortoise looks fierce and forceful, plus the homages to the dilophosaur in my favorite film "Jurassic Park", are very cool. Next, I will update the site more frequently. G2G Cya(actually prolly not)
UPDATE: January 9th, 2006 - I've created a much better looking banner. Enjoy :) Happy New Year!
UPDATE: December 25th, 2005 - Merry Christmas! God Bless you! Oh wait there's a few updates. One is that I've taken out the About me section and instead provided a link to my Myspace for those who want to know about the webmaster. But the really cool thing is that I've put up a page for the true king, the mighty, the awesome, the hairy, K I N G K O N G!!!!! So far there's only an intro page, but more info will come soon. And I'm sorry that I haven't updated the site in quite a while, but I have been very busy. BTW you really need to see Peter Jackson's Kong. It's a masterwork of epic proportions. All I can say is that it makes Final Wars (or any other Goji film for that matter) look like an episode of Spongebob. I'll post a review soon.
UPDATE: October 11th, 2005 - I made a few changes today. First, I spell checked most of the site, so it should be fairly accurate, then I replaced some of the less in quality pictures with better, more dynamic ones. I also updated Gabara's profile in the Kaiju section. The best change I think is the background music I have uploaded. Enjoy! Remember, keep checking back for updates. Peace.
UPDATE: October 10th, 2005 - As promised, I have written a Godzilla: Final Wars review. Check out the Movies section and enjoy!
UPDATE: October 9th, 2005 - I'm on a roll! After seeing Godzilla: Final Wars, the radioactive dinosaur's latest entry in the series, I have updated a few kaiju profiles with correct Final Wars information. Expect a review soon. :)
UPDATE: October 8th, 2005 - More layout changes, new pics, a few text changes etc. Soon this site will look grand. So check back often.
UPDATE: October 7th, 2005 - I really want people to email me with suggestions for this site. I feel like it is very bland and boring. Please help me make this site a great web experience, and I'll be sure to credit you. If you think my site sucks, I see your point. But please understand, this is a FREE WEBPAGE. I don't have enough money(yet) to make it as good as I would like. Please respond and thanks again for coming. :)
UPDATE: October 4th, 2005 - NEW GODZILLA: FINAL WARS DVD RELEASE DATE AND COVER! By the way, I think the cover is so tight! Also, NEW GAMERA 4 PICS! Oh yeah, you need the links LOL. Both are found @ http://www. monsterzero.us
UPDATE: September 29th, 2005 - I've changed this site quite a bit eh? New layout, new banner, new everything. Like it? Well email me Xenomorphsmithsmith@aol.com to comment. By the way, like the new name? :)
UPDATE (FINALLY!): September 5th, 2005 - For those who visit my site, I'm terribly sorry that I haven't been updating it lately. I've had a BUSY summer. But now, I might have some time in the next few weeks to give this site more info. Expect reviews, Gamera info, and Kaiju info soon. So check back regularly! PEACE!
UPDATE: July 28 2005 - Over the past few weeks, I've been planning on how to make this site a great experience on the web. I think I've succeeded and I am very proud of it. The site is up and running and. all the sections have been created. Though it is still under construction, it isn't as incomplete as it was when I first started it. So thanks for coming. More updates will come soon so keep coming back. Peace Out!
