    Power Rangers Movie: First Look at Elizabeth Banks as Rita Repulsa - No bullet bra?* (*Quite frankly, I never noticed Rita Repulsa wore a bullet bra until I saw the legacy action figure.)

    I'll just park this here since it's basically a ripoff of Equilibrium, The Island (which is already a ripoff film itself), and a dozen other dystopian sci-fi films. Oh, and it stars Kristen Stewart. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 41%

    Since Cameron will be re-acquiring the rights to the Terminator franchise in 2019, don't be surprised if one of the sequels is AvT: Avatar vs. Terminator.

    Question: If mercats/sealcats are from the sea, why does the stray one need to steal fish from the restaurant?

    Well, that was a fun ride. Great to see that the good old VF-1 Valkyrie still has moves for its age.

    Unfortunately, the Ignore feature needs improvement. For example, you set Person X to Ignore so you don't see his posts; however, you will see Person X's posts when quoted on other people's replies.

    Why is it that in the English dubs, three main Gundam characters are voiced by the same guy?

    I'll have to say that Disney really is on a roll this year. The Jungle Book is not only better than the animated classic, but is currently the best film shot entirely in a digital sound stage. At a budget of US$175 million, Disney could have easily shot this film in India or just any jungle, but this was all about pushing the limits of digital cinematography, which remains the bane of those who prefer practical effects. Previous efforts to shoot entirely in a digital sound stage had mixed results. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow wowed most viewers back in 2004, but on Blu-ray, it looks like an old PS2 game. 300 and Avatar work mainly because the former uses a comic book style while the latter takes place on a fictional planet. In The Jungle Book, animators spent countless hours replicating the jungles of India and rendering each and every animal that you couldn't tell that it was a completely artificial environment. The experience is further enhanced on IMAX, from every tree vine to the beehives on the cliff. Story-wise, this film trounces the original by a mile. There's a lot of depth in the central characters, especially the wolves and Shere Khan. Speaking of which, we get to know exactly why Shere Khan despises humans. Unlike the musical-oriented original, this new version is a full-blown adventure film with some musical parts that pay homage to its predecessor. As for the acting, it's surprisingly awesome. Neel Sethi is easily the best child actor of today's generation, as his interaction with completely CG animals is genuine, considering that he's the only human actor in this film. Bill Murray and Ben Kingsley knock it out of the park as Baloo and Bagheera, respectively, but the real show-stealers are Idris Elba and Christopher Walken. Elba's cold and calculating portrayal of Shere Khan makes for the best Disney villain since Scar in The Lion King, as well as the best animal villain since Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Walken's mobster approach to King Louie just stops everyone watching this film, especially with his take on the song "I Wan'na Be Like You". And despite her role as Kaa being minimal at best, you'll want Scarlett Johansson to read you a bedtime story. In short, Life of Pi has nothing on this film. The Jungle Book is easily one of the best films to pick up on Blu-ray and a sure-fire contender for next year's Oscars.

    Coming from someone who collects Gunpla, 500 yen is a reasonable price for a no-grade snap kit. Might pick up two of them to show the differences between using black and gray paint for panel lining. In the meantime, here's a build video.

    Admit it: Once you've seen this film, you'd want Scarlett to read you a bedtime story.

    Shere Khan (The Jungle Book) "You change your hunting ground for a few years, and everyone forgets how the law works. Well let me remind you: a man-cub becomes a man, and man is forbidden!" Shere Khan is not just a fearful tiger, but an extremely homicidal one in Disney's 2016 live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's story collection. His facial scars and blind left eye are sure to give kids nightmares. And on top of that, Idris Elba (Stacker Pentecost in Pacific Rim, Heimdall in the Marvel Cinematic Universe) uses his vocal talents to turn a classic Disney character into the greatest Disney villain since Scar in The Lion King, and the greatest animal villain since Koba in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
