  1. After almost 10 hours of painting and assembling, I've come to the conclusion that the HGUC S Gundam and Ex-S Gundam need the Revive treatment. The head has nearly zero movement. The double-jointed knees can't do a 90-degree bend. The joints are not strong enough to support the massive backpack. Furthermore, its wide pelvis makes it incompatible with any Action Base. Still, like the larger MG kit, the HGUC Ex-S Gundam makes a great display piece.
  2. Awesome box cover art is awesome. HG 1/144 Full Armor Gundam [Gundam Thunderbolt Anime Ver.] HG 1/144 Zaku II + Big Gun [Gundam Thunderbolt Anime Ver.]
  3. From the studio that gave us This Is the End and The Interview comes an animated film on crack. Sausage Party features an all-star voice cast as food products fighting to survive from being what they are made for. It premieres at the South by Southwest Film Festival this week and hits theaters on August 12. Official Site
  4. Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars, Anna in Frozen) does a cameo in the film as Priscilla the Sloth. As it turns out, the sloth is her favorite animal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oohdmBtn4eY
  5. It looks like a Hong Kong-based hobby magazine has released a third-party 1/144 version of the RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.Ka.
  6. Zootopia Walt Disney Animation Studios/Walt Disney Pictures, 2016 Directed by Byron Howard (Tangled, Bolt) and Rich Moore (Wreck-it Ralph, The Simpsons) Written by Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush (Big Hero 6), Joshie Trinidad, Jim Reardon (WALL-E, Wreck-it Ralph), Phil Johnston, and Jennifer Lee (Wreck-it Ralph, Frozen) Running Time: 108 minutes Rated PG for violence and mature situations. Cast Ginnifer Goodwin (Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White in Once Upon a Time) as Judy Hopps Jason Bateman (James Cooper in Little House on the Prairie, Nick Hendricks in Horrible Bosses) as Nick Wilde Idris Elba (Stacker Pentecost in Pacific Rim, Heimdall in Thor) as Chief Bogo J. K. Simmons (J. Jonah Jameson in Spider-Man 1-3, Terence Fletcher in Whiplash) as Mayor Leodore Lionheart Jenny Slate as Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellweather Nate Torrence (Lloyd in Get Smart) as Benjamin Clawhauser Bonnie Hunt (Sally Carrera in Cars 1-2, Rosie in A Bug's Life) as Bonnie Hopps Don Lake as Stu Hopps Maurice LaMarche (The Brain in Animaniacs and Pinky and The Brain, various voices in Futurama) as Mr. Big Alan Tudyk (The Duke of Weselton in Frozen, Dutch in Transformers: Dark of the Moon) as Duke Weaselton Raymond S. Persi (episode director for The Simpsons) as Flash Tommy Chong (former half of Cheech & Chong) as Yax Phil Johnston as Gideon Grey Shakira (some pop singer) as Gazelle Synopsis In a world where wild animals coexist like humans, young rabbit Judy Hopps fulfills her lifelong dream of being a police officer - a job normally occupied by larger animals. Upon moving to Zootopia, she is relegated to parking duty, but after arresting a thief, she volunteers to help find an otter involved in a string of animal disappearances - much to Chief Bogo's dismay. With the help of a swindling fox named Nick Wilde, Judy has 48 hours to solve her case, or she gives up her badge. Story: A Originally, I was skeptical about this film because Disney chose the wrong footage for their first trailer. Yes, we get it: Sloths are slow, and so is the DMV. But after reading all of the rave reviews online, I decided to check it out. And what an amazing film it is. Zootopia may have a bunch of animal jokes we've known since kindergarten, but beyond that is a storyline that completely merits the PG rating. The film touches on regular human issues such as discrimination, bullying, and organized crime. At the same time, the mystery solving plot has viewers completely involved from beginning to end. Because of this, adults now have a reason to stick around and watch this film with their kids. Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman are awesome in their roles as Judy and Nick, respectively. Idris Elba as Chief Bogo steals the show on numerous occasions, especially when he throws a jab at Frozen. Oh yeah, the DMV sloth scene is more effective in the film than on the trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_IkrSTie-Y Animation: A+ While not as flashy as Frozen, Zootopia really enhances viewers' imagination with its unique layout of the city's different districts and great character designs. The animals, while being humanoid, retain their natural characteristics perfectly. Soundtrack: A If you enjoyed Michael Giacchino's score in The Incredibles, you'll like his compositions here, with several hints of jazz music reminiscent of classic police movies and TV shows of the '60s and '70s. The theme song by Shakira isn't bad, either; the Japanese version by Dream Ami sounds better, though. The Bottom Line Zootopia is probably the smartest animated film Disney has ever made. Definitely worth the space on your Blu-ray shelf. "Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go." - Chief Bogo Links Official Zootopia Site References The Internet Movie Database

  8. "Worth Watching and Buying on Blu-ray" "A" "3.75 and 3.25 out of 5 Schmoes" "Best Movie Ever" Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 92% - "Smart, solidly crafted, and palpably tense, 10 Cloverfield Lane makes the most of its confined setting and outstanding cast -- and suggests a new frontier for franchise filmmaking." Metacritic Score: 77 out of 100
