Shrek Forever After


Just caught the latest edition of Shrek with Alexia and her coussies. Remarkable CG, pretty enjoyable but a little too short running only 93 minutes. It felt like there wasn't enough fighting scenes as compared to the previous three and it didn't feel like there was enough of Shrek. Maybe its the fact that we watched it in 3D...

Have been hearing "May the Fourth be with you". Just found out it was for Star Wars Day. Oh well...

Sideshow - Yoda and Clone Trooper


Been out for awhile now. A very nice piece.





After Anakin Skywalker's betrayal and the enactment of Order 66, only Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda remain to infiltrate the Jedi Temple and reverse the homing beacon that calls the Jedi back to Coruscant and into a trap laid by the Sith. The two powerful Jedi approach warily, anticipating that Palpatine's emergency session of the Senate has left the decimated Jedi Temple inadequately guarded.

An entire platoon of elite 501st Clone Troopers stands between the Jedi and the temple doors, but neither Obi-Wan nor Yoda express any fear as they approach their adversaries, their former allies. For Obi-Wan, it is an honor to fight side by side with Yoda, his former master and the most respected Jedi Knight of all. Head of the Jedi Council, Yoda is nearly 900 years old, but whatever frailty age has forced upon him disappears the moment he draws his lightsaber. Though his stature is small, his skills as a warrior are unparalleled. The Clone Troopers Yoda faces don't stand a chance against the Jedi Master.

Sideshow - Captain Rex


A 12-inch Captain Rex by Sideshow Collectibles.







"The name's Rex. But you'll call me 'captain' or 'sir'..."
--Clone Captain Rex

Grown on Camino from the DNA of Bounty Hunter Jango Fett, Clone Trooper Captain CC-7567, nicknamed Rex, was activated during the Clone Wars, the galaxy-spanning struggle between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Rex was a freethinking, cunning, and tough warrior, yet despite his unusual individualism as a clone, Rex followed orders without question.

Serving as Jedi General Anakin Skywalker's second, Rex commands Torrent Company of the acclaimed 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic. Rex and his men were assigned to patrol the most lawless and dangerous sectors of the galaxy within the feared Outer Rim.

R2-D2 & R2-Q5 Usb Hubs


Cube Works developed the R2-D2 Usb Hub about a year back and recently released the R2-Q5 which actually looks more sleek. Found one here that's going for SGD 120.00. Pretty steep for a Usb Hub.
