New Toy Purchase: John Cena TRU Exclusive!

I had the chance to add yet another John Cena figurine to my collection of wrestling memorabilia.  This is an exclusive "TRU" or Toys R Us toy that is sold only at their store.  It is very cool although he does not have his newest shirt but the red wrist and arm brands. He also comes with an exclusive Wrestlemania sign.  In other wrestling news I was at my local Hot Topic and sure enough they had one of the newest WWE Cm Punk t-shirts.  It was a great find and nice to be able to purchase this locally and not just online at the WWE Shop. You can check out an image of the shirt by clicking here!

Epic Rap Battles Of History!!

Ok.  So you think you have seen it all spending countless hours online watching thousands of videos until you come across something pretty damn cool.  I am talking about Epic Rap Battles Of History!!  The premise is simple.  These videos are rap battles between famous people through out different periods of time.  The first video I came across was Mr. T versus Mr. Rogers.  These videos come from Youtube use Nicepeter.  The videos are hilarious and I suggest watching the Sarah Palin versus Lady Gaga or Darth Vader versus Adolph Hitler among others.

New TMNT Toy Purchase! Invisible Mike!!

It's turtle time once again folks!  I have been wanting my newest figurine for quite a while but haven't been able to find it locally or at least a good auction on Ebay until now!  I purchased a few months ago the Universal Studios TMNT Monster line.  This was a small line of turtles that were made to resemble the classic Universal Studios monsters from back in the day.  They were a short lived series and even came with discount coupons to the Universal Studios Theme Park.  You can check out a picture of that line below courtesy of the TMNT Figure Archive.

As you can see we have Dracula, Frankenstein, The Wolfman and The Mummy.  Later on a second Universal Studios monster set was released and today my first figurine arrived in the mail. It is Michaelangelo as The Invisible Man.  I find this character very cool and unique because he is partly see through which makes total sense but is the only one of it's kind that I have seen.  I plan to purchase the others in the series also but wanted to start with this guy first.


Site News! 9.23.11

Hey everyone out there!  It's been a busy week and frankly not a ton of concrete great news is really rumbling down the old internet pipes.  I started watching Tree Of Life and almost fell asleep it was that slow of a film.  I know and have read everything the critics are saying about this film and plan to try and re-watch it again and hopefully enjoy it.  I also had the chance to watch Horrible Bosses.  It was pretty funny overall and falls in the lines of current films like Hall Pass.  I did like this film better than Hall Pass but ultimately not worth my time writing some long and drawn out review over it.  If you like Jennifer Aniston then you will love Horrible Bosses!  Just saying ok.  Just saying. Thor 2 news was floating around this week.  Read it here.  Like I said.  Kind of boring and not much out there.  I guess this time of the year is slow for this news anyways.

Ghostbusters Returns to Theaters Next Month!

Big news today in the world of Ghostbusters. It looks as if the powers to be over at Sony decided that they will re-release the original Ghostbusters film limited in theaters next month. Other than this video their is no other concrete information. Rumor is that it will be showing on Halloween and that it will be a newly remastered version of the film. I was totally stoked to go see this but with 4 kids that won't be happening and I am kinda sentimental to the old print version and not some HD projected copy if that is the case. Either way if your wanting to see it on the big screen than this is your chance! More information to come as it is released.

Trick R Treat Commercial!

This is a pretty cool commercial for the Fearnet channel.  The video revolves around the character "Sam" from the Halloween movie Trick R Treat that was released last year.  As you can see, Sam is a little psycho murderer.  How cute!  lol  Or how scary!!  Remember kids, bus stops are a scary place!  You can see the trailer for Trick R Treat here.

Very Cool Back to the Future Commercial!

Ok, so this is a little different but still very cool I think. It looks like Doc Brown has shown up in Argentina. This is a commercial for an Argentinian electronics store Garbarino. It looks like an equivalent of Best Buy and is an overall well done commercial and homage to the original movies.

Ninja Turtle Ghostbusters with Critters?!?!

I came across this photo that originally showed up on Ghostbustersfans. It is a cross between 2 of my favorite things in the world, Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! The Critters are kinda cool too!  It was made by a guy named Tristan Jones over at Deviant Art. You can check out more of his work by clicking the link here!

Back To The Future Nike Commercial!

UPDATE #1! A longer version of the Back to the Future Nike Mag commercial is online.
UPDATE #2! British rapper Tinie Tempah won the first auction with a whopping $37,500 bid!!

This video is very cool! Who else to star in a Back to the Future Nike commercial other than Bill Hader, Kevin Durant and good old Doc Brown himself! The shoes are on a very limited run. 1500 pairs to be exact and some of the shoes are being auctioned on Ebay with all proceeds going to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. The current shoes on Ebay are only ranging from $3,000-$7,000 a pair.  We could totally afford a pair right? Not.

Today their were many cryptic messages online leading to a Nike event tomorrow evening and this video below. Executive producer of the Back to the Future Trilogy Frank Marshall tweeted the following, "Something big is coming soon. Can't say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny and going to need a lot of hover boards." WTF?!?! Tell me this is true!

Teaser Trailer Stills For Untitled Horror Film!

Hey everyone!  It has been a super slow week for movie news but I have a very big personal announcement to make.  I am currently in pre-production of an untitled horror film that I will premiere on Saturday, October 29th 2011!  To get people excited to act in my new film, I thought it would be a good idea to shoot a quick clip and send it to them to watch and get jacked up on.  I am including some stills from the video and will be showing it exclusively on Mechamania once it has been released for my would be actors and actresses!
