Awesome! Enjoy.

New Music Video.

I uploaded it yesterday, but I didn't blog about it so this post is late.
It is by an unknown male singer and it from an album called "New Orleans Funk" and it is called, "Freakenstein."

Get ready for some family fun!

It is now up on YouTube.

My music video, Monster by Pink Lady, is back on YouTube.  After writing a claim and telling them about the fair use situation, Victor Entertainment (a Japanese music company who owned the song), saw my claim and reasoning, which was written in English and Japanese courtesy of Google Translate.
So here it is, my music video on YouTube.


Enjoy.

New Music Videos in October.

October is the month for Halloween!  It is associated with ghosts, ghouls, goblins and things that go bump in the night.  Monsters and mayhem galore.  No, there will not be gore, because this is a family delight!  Let me tell you, it is out of sight!
Rhyming aside, here are two promos. Mondays in October.

Long one.


Short one.


Enjoy.

Matthew Lamont Kongs out!

Yes! Finally I have seen Kong - Skull Island!  It is a great movie! It pays homage to the various films made over the years.  The RKO films, the Toho films and the Dino De Laurentiis films (specifically the 1976 remake).
Finally Kong has more screen time and the monsters in this movie are imaginative.  It was so good that I had my picture taken at the photo display at my local movie theater.  I Konged out in 2005 and I did it again in 2017.

Well, it is no Kongfrontation at Universal Studios Florida, I have photos me and my family at the photo booth where you are at Kong's hand and take a picture and you hear him roar as if he is trying to eat you up.  Apparently, they got destroyed and ended up in photo-collages (it is tough to be a monster movie buff in the 1990's).

Here are some pictures of some poster I found.  

As a Kong-fan, I enjoy this movie. If you didn't see this movie, then go watch it!  And if you saw it, well, then why aren't you watching it again?!  I am wildly excited about this movie and I enjoyed it and this was a box-office smash.  It is better than the 2014 version of Godzilla!  Better than Pixels!  Better than Looney Tunes Back in Action!  This movie is like Apocalypse Now meets Jurassic Park meets the 1976 King Kong remake.  This comes to show that monsters make money! Also, when you are watching it, stay tuned after the credits.   It will blow your mind.

Speaking of Kong, I am currently working on a commentary of Hail to the King - A King Named Kong and I am going to upload a nice film I made seven years before my senior thesis film.  From 2007, How King Kong met Godzilla - The Legend and The Legacy.  Stay tuned tomorrow.

Powerpuff Girls 2016 Vlog - "Escape from Monster Island" and "Princess Buttercup".

Yes, it is true, I like Powerpuff Girls.  In fact, I like Craig McCracken because I find him influential and inspirational.  You see from 1929 to 1934, America was in the grasp of the Great Depression and there were superheroes like Flash Gordon, Superman, Captain Marvel and Buck Rogers who were there to give courage and boost morale to the people in need.  Then, at the time when 9/11 came along, there were cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Fairly OddParents, Codename: Kids Next Door, My Life as a Teenage Robot and Yin Yang Yo to continue the tradition, but with the power of laughter.  This is because they took immediate action by bouncing back, fighting back, biting back and triumphing over their aggressors.  In other words, they had back bone.  However in today's troubled times, it looks like that we need a hero.  With the reboot of Powerpuff Girls that came on yesterday, I would like to present my nice little vlog on it.

Enjoy.

Boston Anime - Part 2: Matthew meets (the Stars of the Original) Godzilla! (Not Exactly)

After failing to meet my favorite stars on Friday, I decided to meet them on Saturday and boy what an awesome experience!  Before the movie, there was a questions and answers segment with Akira Takarada and Harou Nakijama, the original stars of GODZILLA (1954).

They talked about their thoughts on the original movie, the wonderful experience and their thoughts on the 2014 movie.  As a fan, it was amusing.


Now this was followed by the audience who wanted to ask questions to them.  I was ready!  I was going to ask a question to Mr. Takarada:  "What is it like working with American actors in the film KING KONG ESCAPES?"  I was going to ask Mr. Nakijama: "Is there a difference when you are playing Kong on KING KONG ESCAPES and Godzilla?  What is it like?"

However, when I came to ask, time was up.  As a result, this was followed by a screening of the original 1954 version of GODZILLA.  Uncut, undubbed, uncensored and unseen by American audiences.  This was the one by Rialto Pictures from 2004 (which I saw 11 years ago).
So here is a music video I made.


So that concluded it and tune in next time when I attend a lecture called: "Why your fan-base stinks."

Hail to the King!

On March 2nd 1933, there was one movie that took America by storm (not to mention getting their minds off the Great Depression).  King Kong was the name and it's wonder gained its fame.  There was a sequel, two high-profile remakes and a ton in imitations in all forms of media (e.g. comic books, other films, TV shows and cartoons).  It has been over 80 years and it holds the test of time.  Also, Kong's animator, Willis O'Brien was born on March 2nd 1886 (he died in November 8th 1962).   This movie had a grand effect on many other people at a young age.  Including me.  If it wasn't for this flick, there would be no love for stop-motion animation, dinosaurs, apes and voyaging into the world of obscure and bizarre cinema (in the words of Carl Denham, "Something no one has ever seen or heard of").
Happy Birthday Kong and Obie (short for O'Brien) and to pay tribute to the great timeless classic, here is my senior thesis film, Hail to the King - A King named Kong.
