    Well there was a ton of giant creature films in the 50's. Not CGI obviously, but a ton, nonetheless. Atomic energy was the big thing then and was used as the catalyst for most of the monsters. I can only think of a couple "newer" movies that have giant monsters: King Kong and Cloverfield. I don't really count Hulk as a monster personally. I also think the CGI of the new Hulk film looks fifty times better than that first pile of dung they unleashed upon us, lol. That's not to say I like CGI; I think it's very much overused.At least for now(and its been this way for a long while) the monsters many of us grew up with are long gone and have been replaced by pale comparisons or shoddy remakes. I know a lot of the younger folks dig "Saw" and there's nothing wrong with that, but I just can't get excited about a killer who doesn't actually do any of the killing himself(or herself). There's something about a dude with an axe or a machete coming at you in the woods that is much cooler and scarier to me than someone whose fate is just a game.And don't get me started on that Scream/I Know What You Did Last Summer fad from the mid nineties. Ech.The more advanced our society gets, the harder it is to come up with a slasher. Cell phones, internet and other technological wonders have ruined the fun of slasher films. There's something about a person picking up the receiver and finding out the phone lines have been cut that I dig well over "Oh, no I got no signal!"Oh, and I also miss the video store. It's no fun to go anymore. VHS days made the video store exciting in a way that DVD has not even come close to.Banana: <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":banana:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"banana.gif\" />
