Project X Review!

I had the chance last night to catch the flick, Project X.  Yes it has the same name as the 1980's Matthew Broderick film but is much, MUCH different.  I tend to get caught up in these reviews and write a lot more than what I originally intended.  I am going to not mention the actors yada yada yada because frankly you won't recognize them anyway.  Todd Philips, the director of such crazy films as Old School, Road Trip and The Hangover films produced this flick.  I don't think that really means much other than he stamped his seal of approval on it and his name being tagged to the film probably sold a few more tickets.

You have seen this film before.  If you have ever seen a teenage party film then you have seen this movie.  Where this film takes a turn is in how amped it get's.  Imagine the biggest, craziest alcohol, drug, sex infused party of all time and you will understand this movie.  Your main character is having a birthday and his 2 nerdy friends throw him a party at his own house.  What starts out as a backyard party with 30-50 friends turns into a block party with hundreds and mass carnage!

This film is shot with the first person perspective.  It was done well in the sense that it wasn't shaky cam all the time and you could see everything and not have a head ache afterwards.  It was funny. It was crude and dirty. If you like those kind of movies then you will relate and most likely enjoy this film.  It's a film about a big ass party and all the happenings that take place.  What can I say? There isn't much else to this film.  I am embedding the trailer below but be AWARE this is the REDBAND TRAILER.  Nudity, foul language and more is included.

Site Update 5.30.12

Well, what the hell! Here I am folks. You probably thought this site became one of those waste of space portals that just sits and rots the internet like the millions of pages before it and the millions to come. Your half right most likely. The fact of the matter is that life has kept me super busy as of late. This blog was meant to take up my time when I was laid off of work. It did that but now that I am working continually it becomes really hard to keep this site updated. I have also recently opened an Ebay store and have been dabbling in the sales of the things I love most. Vintage toys and collectibles. Am I saying that I am closing the site and won't keep it updated. No. I am saying what I always have said. Please bare with me. I haven't forgotten you and never will. You can keep up with me by becoming a fan of the site or friending me on Facebook. You can also check out my Ebay Store "The Toy Box" for all my vintage items.

Damn you dirty apes!

If you know me then you know I absolutely love The Planet of the Apes series. This is from the Mondo Gallery in Austin Texas. I would totally love to have this but I am sure it sold for way more than what I could ever afford. You can check out many more of the paintings from the gallery over at Aint It Cool News.

Purchase the Hoverboard from BTTF Part 2!

If you have ever wanted to own an actual replica of the famous hoverboard from Back to the Future Part 2 then this is your chance! Mattel is finally producing a 100% replica. Of course it does not float but supposedly glides over surfaces with ease. This sale is specific from March 1st to March 20th. It is a pre-sale and the board will ship in November/December of this year. It is $120 and you even get a cool little replica that will work with most of the Mattel action figure lines.  You can click on the banner below for more information.  Don't forget that you have to order it by March 20th!

Superman VS Hulk!


I came across this video and thought I would share it with you all! It's from user "mhabjan". If you click on the video it will take you to his Youtube account and you can see his other videos of this fight and more. He promises even more fighting videos and the quality continues to get better and better with each video. What is even more amazing is that he is doing this on his own. I can't wait to see what he has in store in the future!

1984 MOTU Toy Poster

Hey everyone! I had a great time at the annual Palmer Wirfs antique show at the Portland Expo Center this past weekend. You never know what kind of old stuff you will find at this show. I wasn't sure what to expect but have been pleasantly surprised every time! I found a few Ninja Turtles, an awesome Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure toy set and a very cool 1984 Masters of the Universe poster showcasing all of the action figures from the line that year.



Star Wars: Kinect!


Anyone else excited about this game?! I have an XBOX 360 Kinect and it is technologically one of the most amazing inventions we have seen in a long time.

Site Update 3.4.12

Hello everyone! Your probably wondering where in the heck I have been the past few months. Honestly, life (and work) has taken control and I don't have or haven't made much time for the site. That doesn't mean that I haven't been adding new toys and collectibles to my ever growing MASSIVE collection. I HAVE! A LOT! It is hard to take photos of everything and post individually each time I pick up something new or read something cool and exciting you have probably seen on another website. With all of that said. I will do my best to try and post updates of stuff that is near and dear to my heart. Stay tuned and see what is coming your way......
