TGIF! Robocop Redux

Friday woohoo! This week seemed to pass slowwweeerrr than usual somehow. Maybe it's because the Earth has slowed it's spin as the year end approaches... or that's my theory anyway! Well, most places have the X'mas deco up, and X'mas songs piping through the speakers. Time to get in the mood woohah!

I think movie season should be coming to an end now, next major movie will be the 2nd part of The Hobbit movie, then most of the major movies will be out next year. Star Wars EP VII will be out Dec 2015.. man, didn't think i'd see this day come!

Also, trailer 2 for the new Robocop is out, pretty cool! Even though it's a remake, they have to make it as a standalone movie, and not tag on to the legacy of the previous Robocop, as that's a hard act to follow, and also a movie made for a previous age. :)

 

Thor : The Dark World

As someone who found the first Thor movie entertaining and refreshing, it was with a little trepidation that I watched the second Thor movie. I was afraid it was going to be like Iron Man, which didn't really live up to the impact the first movie had.

 

Thankfully, the movie was surprisingly good, with a running time of 120 minutes, you won't realize that two hours have passed as the pacing is relentless, barely leaving you a moment to catch your breath till the next set piece arrives.

 

The interaction between the actors is great, real screen chemistry. Loki was awesome as usual, and some plot twists here and there which I didn't really see coming. :) Most of the movie is spent away from Earth this time, and maybe they got a bigger budget cos Asgard looks better this time round. The scenery does leave me with a bit of a Lord of the Rings feel though. :p

 

The only downer was the bit after the first credits run... It felt... cheap and out of place after the lush vistas the were presented previously.. I know its a tie in to the next upcoming movie, but was it necessary? No wonder even the director hated it and made clear it was the studios who put it there and not him!

 

Oh, and stay AFTER that for one more extra scene. :)

Midweek!

It's a slow day, but this video really made me laugh and grin like an idiot in front of my computer! :p

 

Star Wars Bloopers!

Haha, this is the best! :p

 

Metal Build ARX-8 Laevatein

Hmmm, wonder how much metal will actually be in this thing? But cool that they're branching out to make different items tho! This is from the series "Full Metal Panic", which is an anime series based off a novel. The mecha here is more real-world compared to fantasy giant robos; closer to Patlabor than Gundam. :)

 

Happy Birthday klyn!

Ahh, how time flies, it's been 365 days since my baby girl was born, and she turns one today! And already tottering around the house, getting her hands on everything and anything she can! :p

Happy Birthday my baby girl! :)

TGIF!

What? It's November already? OMG X'mas is next month! :p Weather's been crazy here; hot in the afternoon and storms in the evening. Right now it looks like nighttime out the window!

 

Anywayz, there's gonna be 6" Stormie from the Black Series, looks good from the product pic below! Uh oh, I can already hear the scalpers wanking over the pics and camping at the stores! Well, a bit too early, since it's probably on out early 2014!
