Gorgo big!

29th March, 2021 marked the 60th anniversary of the release of Gorgo, a monster movie in which a Godzilla-like creature ravages London. I watched it tonight because I'd never seen it before.

Overall, this one was fairly enjoyable. I absolutely love Gorgo's design, and if you like monster movies in which the monster gets a lot of screen time, you'll love this one.

It's free to watch on Amazon prime right now, so check it out!

My rating: 6/10 Jackos

Horror Movie Posters I've Made

My brother is an independent horror filmmaker, and I have a standing offer with him to design posters for any movies he makes. 

In the past few years, he's made a feature length film, Falling Angel (2018, 53 mins), and just recently, a 6-minute short called Window of Darkness (2021) that he's entered into several short horror film events.

Here are the posters I made!


(As of this post, Falling Angel isn't available to watch online)

Autumn splendor in rural Japan

Sometimes YouTube recommendations really hit the nail right on the head.

Tonight, this showed up in my feed, a short video about a beautiful countryside village called Shirakawa, in Gifu Prefecture, Japan. 


The video lives up to its title as relaxing virtual tour, with peaceful autumn visuals; the viewer can almost smell the crisp earthy air and and feel the soft grasses between their fingertips. 

Enjoy this if you're in need of some relaxing vibes, or are impatient for Fall to arrive, or both!
