Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 25th anniversary theatrical re-release quickie!

Image
  Movie was viewed on November 12, 2018 in Regal Cinemas Dole Cannery. There were 14 slides of facts and trivia before the movie started. Here are a two slides I putted up plus a shot I took of the movie.  Disclaimer: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm is the property of DC comics/Warner Bros studios. I am only using the above clips or review for entertainment purposes. No profit is intended nor is this site affiliated with DC/Warner bros.  I decided to just view this on the big screen since I never did. A good movie still to this very date. But I'll get to the theater experience right now: -Suffers the same picture and sound quality like Transformers the movie re-release. Picture is grainy and was probably the dvd release rather then the blu-ray remaster. The sound was very low quality as well. The awe-inspiring church choir parts (the intro, Birth of Batman, Joker's fate, and ending theme) were very underwhelming. - Not the movie's fault but the theater...

Wiliwilinui 2018!

Image
Thank you Gary for this pic At long last, the sister hikes are finally completed! I tamed Kuliouou and Hawaii Loa last year. Finally the circle is now complete as Wiliwilinui has been thrown into the fray. Let's get started! *Hike was done on the 6th of November*   Rained the previous day so the hike was pretty muddy and slippery. I hiked with Gary who was visiting from Washington state. I slipped quite a bit on this trail. Lots of stairs 3/4's toward the end. I personally feel there was more stairs on this hike in comparison to the other sister hikes. The trail being muddy, wet, and slippery didn't help either. Some area will have ropes for you to climb up or down. The summit:               The summit gets smaller and smaller if you go from Kuliouou > Hawaii Loa > Wiliwilinui in that order; bigger vice versa. Sky was pretty overcast so you had to wait a bit for the clouds to cle...

Bandai Action Base black stand: Featuring some Transformers.

Image
Aloha folks. It's been awhile since I did something with my figures. I've still got a whole lot of TF toys to open and review, but work and another part of life makes it difficult for me to do so. Tonight, insomnia got the best of me so I decided to play with a base stand I bought a while back. Today I do a brief review on the Bandai Hobby Action Base 1 display stand . With it, you can deliver the impression that your Gundam figures are flying and duking it out with other rivals while suspended in mid-air, perhaps re-creating a memorable dramatic scene you saw in the anime. But since I don't own Gundam figures, I will test out this stand with none other than my TF figures. So what you see is what you get. https://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-Action-Display-Stand/dp/B000KG499M The above link is the how the packing looks like. I did a take pic but it didn't come out well with all the glare in place. I just decided to include a link and if you are impressed then you...

For the week Beginning Sept 23rd ending October 6, 2018; Transformers the Movie Sept 27th one night only event!

Image
 Aloha folks. I saw the 1986 one night only Transformers: The Movie special. You get a free poster per person; Its the same artwork as the blu-ray release. The screen wasn't the biggest but was adequate enough. You get a couple trivia questions prior to the movie. What was also featured was an exclusive BumbleBee trailer and a Stan Bush Acoustic version of Dare and The Touch to the fans at the end of the film. I recorded some clips on my phone but due to possible copyright issues, I will not be displaying them on this site. Look for it on Youtube. It was a nice tribute to the fans. As for the movie itself, sometimes I felt the audio could use some work. It was decent but i wasn't really blown by it's intensity. The picture sometimes looked grainy for I heard they were using the 20th anniversary remastered release instead of the blu-ray release. Picture felt a little too cropped at times as well. Anyhow, it was still a nice experience. It was a big turnout which pretty muc...

Maunawili Falls 2018!

                                                     Me and my buddy Kev decided to do this hike. Have to admit, I wasn't keen on doing this hike but I was pretty impressed by the result at the end. Not to mention, it was good cardio. Here are some pics. Enjoy!   This bird was singing... no lie.         It was very muddy so be careful. Swim at your own risk. About a 2 hr roundtrip. Have a nice day folks and thank Jesus that me and Kevin didn't get hurt. Make sure you wear shoes with good grip and traction and bring mosquito repellent. Lots of Mosquitoes here, I kid you not. We ate at Kono's in Kailua afterwards. Avocado Veggie Wrap.
