    All this talk about "Must-see Japanese Movies", and no one's mentioned Hana to Hebi (花と蛇)?

    On this week's episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Brave 4: "Fire! The Gaburevolver of Courage" (うちぬけ！ゆうきのガブリボルバー) Special Guest: Kenji Ebisawa (Gunpei Ishihara/Go-on Black in Engine Sentai Go-onger) as Shiro Mifune A Deboss Monster shows up to steal valuables in town, but when Ian rushes to battle it, an incident in his past causes him to crack and lead to further problems within the team. And so begins the story of the team's antihero, who has a traumatic past and will go all out to confront it while being at odds with the leader. Ian has a little bit of Gai Yuki/Black Condor (Jetman), being a womanizer and the loner of the group. And even after officially becoming a Kyoryuger, he sarcastically vows to kill Daigo once this war is over. This week's episode also brings in the common troupe of introducing a new toy that nearly kills the team at first, but eventually becomes an invaluable weapon in the end. In this case, it's the Kentrospiker, the Zyudenchi battery that combines the Kyoryugers' weapons into a powerful spear. And to top things off is Kyoryuzin's latest combination: the gunslinging Kyoryuzin Western. Yee-haw! Next time, on Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Brave 5: "Boom! The Cavities of Ankydon" (ドゴォーン！ムシバのアンキドン) Better call the dentist.

    Cast list updated. Powers Boothe will reprise his role as Senator Roark. After all, it really wouldn't be Sin City without him.

    Super Robot Chogokin Gunbuster (スーパーロボット超合金 ガンバスター) Bandai, 2013 Made in China Contents Gunbuster figure Hands (x5) Buster Collider Arm Parts (x2) Buster Collider Front Leg Parts (x2) Buster Collider Rear Leg Parts (x2) Super Inazuma Kick Spiked Tread (x4) Buster Home Run (x2) Skeletal Chest Degeneracy Generator with Cord Tamashii Stage Attachment Peg Crossover Joint Attachment Peg For the past decade, there have been several different toy representations of Gunbuster. And now, for those who can't afford the ultra-pricey Soul of Chogokin figure or are not impressed by the Revoltech figure, here's the toy that slots neatly between the two. The Super Robot Chogokin Gunbuster may lack the combination feature of the SOC and Revoltech toys, but it makes up for it in spades with its unbelievable amount of poseability - at least 36 points of articulation! The figure comes with an array of accessories that enable you to re-create scenes from the anime, such as the Double Buster Collider, Super Inazuma Kick and the degeneracy generator sacrifice scene from episode 6. In addition, the figure has two units of the Buster Home Run, Gunbuster's baseball bat from the radio drama portion of the Victor Manga Golden Special soundtrack. A special peg lets you attach the figure to a Tamashii Stage display stand (Act.5 for Mechanics is recommended due to the weight of the diecast parts). Also, the figure's new Crossover Joint system enables the figure to easily swap parts with Gurren Lagann without compromising poseability. As far as build quality goes, this figure is very solid. Sure, there are some paint imperfections, but the metallic flake shine on the plastic panels makes the figure look more substantial than the Revoltech version. Because of the amount of ball joints, getting the right pose takes a little patience, but once you get everything lined up, it just looks perfect. The amount of accessories may be spartan, but a lot more will be available in the upcoming Tamashii Web exclusive "Hard Work and Guts" Armament Set, which includes the Buster Shield, Buster Missiles, Buster Tomahawk and effects parts. Needless to say, this is undoubtedly one of the best offerings in Bandai's Super Robot Chogokin line. A must-have for any mecha toy collector. Detail: A- Features: A Articulation: A

    WrestleMania 29 will take place in April 7 at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The PPV is expected to draw in over 90,000 fans in attendance. So far, here are the matches and my predictions: WWE Championship: The Rock © vs. John Cena The People's Champ beat Cena at last year's WM. Let's hope that streak continues, especially since The Rock introduced a brand-new championship belt late last month (and we all know what will happen if Cena wins). World Heavyweight Championship: Alberto Del Rio © vs. Jack Swagger Tough call, but I'll give this one to Swagger. The Undertaker vs. CM Punk Over the past two decades, the Undertaker has dominated WM with an undefeated streak, but will it all end in the hands of CM Punk? Triple H vs. Brock Lesnar As much as I don't like the guy in the ring, I'll predict a win for HHH.

    This month, we remember the 12th anniversary of the end of the Monday Night War. In March 2001, after a five-year ratings war that saw professional wrestling reach its mainstream peak, Vinnie Mac whipped out his checkbook and bought World Championship Wrestling from AOL TimeWarner for a measly US$4 million. And so brings up the question: What was your initial reaction when you heard that WWF bought WCW?

    One of the pioneers of the anime/manga industry in North America passed away this week. Toren Smith was best known for founding Studio Proteus, which was responsible for introducing Masamune Shirow's works to the western world. GAINAX paid a small homage to him with the character Smith Toren in Gunbuster. R.I.P. Toren Smith (1960-2013) Manga Translation Pioneer Toren Smith Passes Away

    The Lamborghini Veneno looks a lot like something out of a video game. Perhaps a new installment of Spy Hunter? And the Ferrari LaFerrari has Lotus Exige and Pagani Zonda written all over it.

    Just wondering, do we have a Toyota GT 86/Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ owner in the house? Perhaps he can share his thoughts on the car on this thread.

    On this week's episode of Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Brave 3: "Get Mad! The Slashing Brave" (あれるぜ！　ざんげきのブレイブ) Special Guest: Junichi Haruta (Kanpei/Goggle Black in Dai Sentai Goggle-V, Ryu/Dyna Black in Kagaku Sentai Dynaman) as Genryu Rippukan Souji is the quiet but highly skilled swordsman among the Kyoryugers, but his father is not pleased with his unorthodox swordplay, as the family has practiced their kenjutsu since the Sengoku period. Meanwhile, the Deboss Army's latest monster is out to lock every athlete in his cages and siphon out their anger and frustration. As Kermit the Frog once said: "It's not easy being green." This episode is proof of that statement, given the uneasy father-son relationship between Souji and Genryu. When this tension also causes a rift between Souji and the Kyoryugers, Daigo and Amy have a talk with his father to find a solution. Oh yeah, we got a lot of martial arts action here to keep everyone entertained. At the same time, we're introduced to two new dinosaurs that form into DeinoChaser, the Kyoryugers' motorcycle, as well as Kyoryu Green's dinosaur Zakutor, which alternates with Dricera as Kyoryuzin's left arm for bladed attacks. Next time, on Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger: Brave 4: "Fire! The Gaburevolver of Courage" (うちぬけ！ゆうきのガブリボルバー) Always bet on Black.
