Monster movies are a staple of the late night movie world, which means 2018 " Rampage " fits right into the Insomniac Theatre's roster of offerings. And what an offering it was...

Jason versus Pacific Rim

What boy of the nerd variety didn't dream of that glorious day when giant robots would throw down with giant monsters ? For the longest time we were content to watch said combat unfold in low budget Japanese movies and kiddie cartoons. Then along comes director Guillermo del Toro and the game changes.

Um . . . wow! The Pacific Rim Wondercon trailer delivers

I was sold on Guillermo del Toro 's Pacific Rim because of the giant-robots -versus- giant-monsters concept. The first trailer delivered that.
