  1. "There are things you can't fight, acts of God. You see a hurricane coming, you have to get out of the way. But when you play this cover, suddenly, you can fight the hurricane. You can win."
  2. A little detail goes a long way. I got the RG RX-78-2 Gundam for Christmas, and since it will be using waterslide decals, I decided to use the supplied stickers on my HG Gundam Ver.G30th.
  3. As predicted, the critics are not impressed. Not sure if this counts as a guilty pleasure film at all. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 24% Metacritic Score: 36 out of 100 "When Razor and the Kid are supposed to be publicly promoting their bout and instead devolve into bickering buffoonery, there's nothing but ill-timed punch lines where the chemistry between Stallone and De Niro should be." - Stephanie Merry, Washington Post "Raging Bull it ain't -- it's not even Rocky IV." - John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter "Go watch Rocky and Raging Bull again. Because, as they say at closed-casket funerals, it's better to remember them as they were." - Alonso Duralde, The Wrap "Grudge Match has wasted its two talented stars so badly that it almost counts as elder abuse." - Rafer Guzman, Newsday
  4. The numbers don't lie - this is the movie to not watch this Holiday season. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 10% Metacritic Score: 27 out of 100 "Memo to Hollywood: Find another use for Keanu Reeves." - Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News "Insufferably boring, culturally hegemonic, and profoundly ugly." - David Ehrlich, Film.com

  7. Just finished assembling the Sengoku Astray Gundam. Without a doubt, it is the coolest-looking Gunpla in the series. Haven't gotten around to testing the poseability yet, other than the shoulder armor that transforms into the extra arms. Aside from the eyes, I opted not to use any of the cheesy foil stickers (shame on whoever uses them on the Samurai Swords). The Sengoku Astray is currently in the process of final detailing, but here's a pic.
  8. Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear Nu Image/Swingin' Productions/Millennium Films, 2013 Directed by Isaac Florentine (Ninja, Undisputed III: Redemption) Running Time: 95 minutes Rated R for graphic martial arts violence and strong language. Cast Scott Adkins (Yuri Boyka in Undisputed II-III, John in Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) as Casey Bowman Kane Kosugi (Jiraiya/Ninja Black in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, Hayabusa in DOA: Dead or Alive) as Nakabara Mika Hijii (Kaoru in Garo, Rin in AvN: Alien vs. Ninja) as Namiko Takeda Shun Sugata (Kamen Rider ZX, Boss Benta in Kill Bill) as Goro Vithaya Pansringarm as General Sung Mukesh Bhatt as Mike Jawed El Berni as Lucas Futoshi Hashimoto as Toji Tim Man as Myat Synopsis Casey Bowman and his wife Namiko Takeda have settled down peacefully at the Koga ninja dojo, with Namiko expecting their first child. Then, tragedy strikes when Namiko is murdered by an unknown assailant using a barbed wire weapon. Fueled by anger and grief, Casey travels to Thailand and Burma to find the man responsible for his wife's murder. Lowdown Oh yeah - the team that brought us one of the finest martial arts films is back. Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear brings us more of Scott Adkins' unbelievable kicks and lots of outstanding fight choreography. In keeping with the tone of the first film, there are no shaky-cam effects and no cheesy CG enhancements - just simple camerawork that doesn't blink on every punch, kick, or throwdown laid by Adkins or his opponents. Never mind the plot - it's the fights that tell the story.Speaking of opponents, Ninja II doesn't just have thugs, but sub-bosses that actually hold their own against Adkins. Undoubtedly the best fight is against Swedish martial artist Tim Man (Mortal Kombat: Legacy, Ong Bak 2). Kane Kosugi, who has been overshadowed by his father for decades, shows his true potential here as well. Overall, if you like Ninja or are a fan of '80s martial arts films, Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear is worth picking up on Blu-ray Disc. It will make you completely forget that Ninja Assassin ever existed. Rating: B+ Links Ninja II: Shadow of a Tear Official Facebook References The Internet Movie Database
