• Toy Review: DC Universe Wonder Woman by Mattel
  on Dec 30, 2008 in Toy Reviews DC Superheroes
  I'm sort of a n00b with Wonder Woman. I dig her colorful costume and her mythology as one of the big three in the DC Universe, so I've recently started reading her comics. I was glad to hear that she would be part of the super-cool Four Hoursem

  on Dec 28, 2008 in News Movies
  I'm sure you all know of my unwavering love for the awesomeness of Speed Racer. In fact, I'd say it's the best movie of 2008.  It's something we rarely see in Hollywood movies: with its innovative special effects and action sequences
