Don’t Blame Raimi for Spidey 3 Hatred

Don’t Blame Raimi for Spidey 3 Hatred

I’m actually one of the few that enjoyed Spider-Man 3. I enjoyed emo Parker dancing, jumping and jiving. Many say it’s cheesy, but that’s the reason why I loved it.
Let’s not forget we had many cheesy moments in Spider-Man 1 and 2 also. Remember the scene in part 1 where Parker wrestles against Bonesaw? One [...]

Video Game Review: Resident Evil 5 – The OG S.T.A.R.S. Members Are Back

Video Game Review: Resident Evil 5 – The OG S.T.A.R.S. Members Are Back

Chris Redfield is back in Resident Evil 5. Sure he was in RE1 and RE Code: Veronica, but he shared his adventures with Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield. In this game, you control him throughout the whole game with Sheva as your AI-controlled partner.
Story
The plot for the game is pretty straightforward. Something is going down [...]

Movie Review: JCVD – Jean-Claude Van Damme’s More Intimate Side

Movie Review: JCVD – Jean-Claude Van Damme’s More Intimate Side

Judging from the previews that I saw for JCVD, I had no idea it was a French film, nor did I know that the French worships Mr. Van Damme. Going into the movie, all I knew was JCVD stood for his initials.
The story sounds pretty interesting. Jean-Claude plays himself as he tries to get back [...]

G.I. Joe Movie Baroness Figure From China

G.I. Joe Movie Baroness Figure From China

Our longtime reader, Paladin, hooked us up with some pictures of the movie Baroness figure he got off eBay.  This hasn’t been released in the U.S.  He got the figure for $15 including shipping from a Chinese seller.
I’m surprised how good the figure looks.  Love the outfit and her guns.  Still looks like old school [...]

Vintage Toy Of The Week: Rambo

Vintage Toy Of The Week: Rambo

This week’s vintage toy goes to Rambo.  The figure is based on the 1986 cartoon show, Rambo and the Forces of Freedom. Unlike Chuck Norris’ cartoon show which only had 5 episodes, Rambo had 65 episodes.  Rambo battled against neo nazis.  That’s right, neo nazis for a kids show.

Toys back in the 80’s were pretty [...]

Victorian Era Star Wars and Comic Figures

Victorian Era Star Wars and Comic Figures

I accidentally found Sillof’s custom figures when I was googling for  Batman toys.  I noticed the figures on his site didn’t look familiar.  Upon doing further investigation, I found out that all the figures were created by him.
What I love about Sillof’s work is the little details he puts into each figure.  For example, the Victorian Era Aquaman.  Sillof gave [...]

Netflix For The Win!

Netflix For The Win!

I used to badmouth Netflix because I would only get 1 shipment of movies per week.  Then I found out that it was USPS that was lagging, not Netflix.  I read on a forum that I should drop off my movies at the post office drop box for fast processing.  I tried it out and [...]

Movie Review: Milk

Movie Review: Milk

This film surprised me. I knew that Sean Penn’s acting was going to be good, it always is. But, as far as the film goes, I thought it was going to be a bit boring. Most critically acclaimed films are boring to me. The character developments are painfully long. Call me shallow, but I can’t [...]

T2 – Skynet Edition For Blu Ray

A 6 disc set will also be released with a collector’s package and retail for $174.99.  [...]

On Sunday, my friends were involved with the Vietnamese Association Show(VSA) at Orange Coast College.  I tagged along to see what the show was all about.  Initially, Mongoose was suppose to take care of the photo shoot.  But he got sick over the weekend so I took over his duty.  I’m not as good as [...]
