    It's not the accident itself that's shocking, but the response time of the EMT.

    The Time Machine (2002) is yet another one that's on my "bad movie night" list. Even at 96 minutes, the film feels like it's 4 hours long with practically no point in its interpretation of H. G. Wells' classic novel. It does, however, make a good cure for insomnia.

    I'm still trying to figure out why some people think A.I.: Artificial Intelligence is a good movie. My main gripe with that movie is that it ended over 30 minutes ago Instead, we get dragged Because of this movie, I stopped watching Spielberg's movies for about seven years. Then I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and that further pissed me off. I didn't watch another Spielberg movie until The Adventures of Tintin.

    I've been doing a James Bond 007 mini-marathon over the past week, and so far, Dr. No, From Russia with Love, Thunderball, The Spy who Loved Me and Casino Royale remain among my top 10 in replay value. Diamonds Are Forever is not very memorable compared to Connery's other films, and The Man with the Golden Gun is just painful to watch nowadays. This weekend, I'll be looking back at the rest of the Bond series to see which ones have aged well and which ones haven't.

    That's really not saying much. How is it compared to the first movie?

    On this week's episode of Kamen Rider Wizard: Episode 12: "The Wagashi of Hope" (希望の和菓子) Shunpei meets up with an old friend named Tetsuya, who is suddenly targeted as a Gate by the latest Phantom. When the attack costs Tetsuya's wagashi (Japanese confectionery) shop an important client, Shunpei does whatever he can to help keep the business out of the red. If you've ever been curious about Japanese cuisine, this episode will give you a short look at how confectionery such as manju is made. Also, we get to see Wizard's latest power-ups: the Hurricane Dragon and the Thunder attack. Next week on Kamen Rider Wizard: Episode 13: "The Heir to the Dream" (夢を継ぐ者) Is Haruto's new power-up enough to save the day?

    In 2009, Top Gear's James May rediscovered some toy lines he grew up with and introduced them to today's youths - in a big way. James May's Toy Stories ran for six episodes from October to December 2009, with a special episode on June 2011. Each episode focused on a specific toy line, with some history behind their creation before May made some very ambitious projects to get kids interested in them again. Here are a couple of examples: Episode 1: Airfix (27 October 2009) - To get some school children into model kit building, May has a full-sized replica of Airfix's Supermarine Spitfire kit molded for them to assemble and paint. Episode 4: Scalextric (17 November 2009) - May pays tribute to the old Brooklands speedway by constructing a Scalextric track on the grounds where it once stood.

    Maybe they're now cybernetic organisms, living tissues over metal endoskeletons.

    On this week's episode of Kamen Rider Wizard: Episode 11: "A Promise to Defend" (守り抜く約束) Gargoyle retreats from his battle with Kamen Rider Wizard, but Medusa and Phoenix devise a new scheme for the Phantom to bring Naoki to despair. Meanwhile, Haruto suspects that Kizaki is keeping the truth about Naoki's father from the boy. Kizaki goes to show that unlike the typical government goon in a tokusatsu series, he does have the balls to fend off against an army of mooks, despite obviously being no match for them. Phoenix returns to action to once again kick Wizard's ass. In the end, Wizard gains Kizaki's trust and acquires a new Magic Stone. Next week on Kamen Rider Wizard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMmxG3H1aLU&hd=1 Episode 12: "The Wagashi of Hope" (希望の和菓子) Time to try out a new Magic Ring.

    Here's one of the fight scenes:

    They didn't learn from the last one, did they? Coming to some U.S. theaters on November 30 is Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, the pseudo-sequel to the 2009 flop Universal Soldier: Regeneration. For this film, we see British martial arts actor Scott Adkins (Hector in The Expendables 2, Yuri Boyka in Undisputed 2-3) as the main protagonist John, who is out to avenge the slaying of his wife and daughter. All points lead to Luc Deveraux (played once again by Jean-Claude Van Damme) as the main culprit, as he and yet another clone of Andrew Scott (Dolph Lundgren, of course) lead an army of UniSols to liberate their kind from government rule. Just like A1 mentioned on another thread: "There has NEVER been a franchise that has been this fuked up. EVER." Official Site

    Someone's obviously had too much time playing with video editing software.
