Movie Impressions: Star Trek
Well, in feat that’s probably never again to be repeated, I went with my brother G and my friends Craig and Justin to see a movie. We went to the first showing of Star Trek at the local IMAX theater. To gauge where I’m coming from regarding Star Trek, let me say that I would…

Papercraft Friday #42: Animal Crossing Girl
I played Animal Crossing on the Gamecube almost every day for over a year, and found it really enjoyable. Some time after quitting that, Animal Crossing: Wild World came out for the Nintendo DS. I played it for awhile. In sort of a Catch-22, though, I don’t tend to play portable games at home when…

Book Impressions: The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub
Upon hearing of upcoming adaptations of The Talisman by Stephen King & Peter Straub, I decided that it might be a good time to read the novel, before those adaptations hit.

Book Impressions: The Stand Complete & Uncut Edition by Stephen King
Just finished up The Stand by Stephen King. It was originally written in 1978 and was revised and expanded in 1990. About 400 pages were added back in that were originally removed by King at the suggestion of the original publisher to make it more marketable/profitable. The story is about the survivors of a superflu that is accidentally released by…

Papercraft Friday #39: Wolverine
Ok, so you probably saw through where I was headed with the mini-theme of superhero papercraft the past few weeks. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is released today in movie theaters, so what better time than to continue getting your Wolverine fix with some paper modelling. BlueDragon, author of last week’s spotlight model Captain America, comes through…

Papercraft Friday #38: Captain America
Continuing with our mini-theme of superhero papercraft, this week we have BlueDragon’s very nice model of Captain America on his website Action Papercrafts. It looks very nice and is not overly complicated to build. The model is in Pepakura format and comes with a separate file for optional parts and a stand.
