New from Universal on Blu-Ray, DVD and digital is Machete Kills a comical and gory film by Robert Rodriguez. Featuring a pretty star-studded cast with cameos if anything—the anti-hero is longtime actor Danny Trejo as Machete—a machete-wielding killing machine fighting the Cartel and a weapons-manufacturer/Terrorist led by everyone’s favorite Nazi-lover, Mel Gibson of all people

A really over the top film that is a crazy thrill ride from beginning to end, you’ll be on the edge of your seat as you laugh your head off as others lose theirs. I’d say the movie was racist against Latinos and Mexicans, but being …

We are about to go on a cosplay adventure with…

NERDSociety.com: Thanks for taking the time to interview with us at NERDSociety.com, would you be so kind as to state your name? Stage name? Where are you from?

Harajuku Bunny: Hello! My name is Kelsey but I more frequently go by Harajuku Bunny for cosplay! I’m from Las Vegas, Nevada.

NS: What was it that got you into cosplaying? How did the “light bulb” go off telling you, ‘this is what I want to do?’ Were you introduced into cosplaying by someone?
Do you make your own costumes or do you …

“It’s show time Synergy!” This was just a simple phrase uttered by a rock star that unleashed a world of music and magic in a cartoon known as Jem and the Holograms. There are many things that can define the 80’s, and to forget about the cultural impact of Jem and the Holograms s a crime against pop culture itself. Since this is a New Year and a new chance to look back monthly on some exciting vintage toys from yesteryear, what better way to start all the vintage toy goodness than by looking at the name that says it all: …

The year is coming to a close and so it’s finally time for MY very own top ten toys for the year 2013. Release date is not important, but what is important is that I acquired it this year.

Although I’ve been spending most of my time writing my K-ON! Fan fiction, I’ve still been collecting toys on the side, however there were some financial troubles and some items I thought I’d be getting fell through—but, what can you do. I’ve also decided to do it in themes or groupings, that way I can feature more than just simply 10 pieces.…

The best way I can describe The Wolf of Wall Street is, if you ever wanted to see the business guys from Mad Men lose most of their humanity and become some of the richest douche bags ever mixed with some of the funniest dialogue and situational humor in a long time you get the Wolf of Wall Street. Martin Scorsese easily could have tried to humanize the main characters of this story but thankfully he didn’t and the results are both funny as all hell but pretty dark and depressing as well.

Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo Di Caprio, is …

The cover of my–soon to be–self published, vanity fan fiction. I can’t sell it, but I can enjoy holding it in my hands.
Enjoy the final part of my fan fiction and thanks to everyone who read it, it was a labor of love!

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” the old friends gathered and Yui gave her precious Gita to Nao’s daughter Miho—who would ever think Yui would part with her beloved guitar? Now in this final chapter, the girls play the Budokan realizing their dream in…

K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” Part 13.

Sawako had made them matching stage outfits, they …

The latest film in the Hobbit trilogy has been praised by many as a vast improvement over the original which was faulted for its poor CGI, use of 48 FPS and serious pacing problems. I myself thoroughly enjoyed it and the additions to the many story-lines which filled in the gaps of the book. “Desolation of Smaug” can indeed be classified as a superior sequel for the first two acts because the CGI is better, the new frame rate technology is vastly improved and the film moves along at a brisk pace. But remember, this only lasts for the first two …

Back in 2009 Cricket had reviewed my M.A.S.K. collection as a vintage toy. My photos were sub-par and I wasn’t even a writer on the NERDSociety.com website.

See link:  http://www.nerdsociety.com/vintage-toy-of-the-week-mask/

Now in 2013, the last Vintage Toy of the Month for December, I will reprise M.A.S.K., my favorite playthings from when I was a kid!

M.A.S.K. or Mobile Armored Strike Kommand was a toy and cartoon series in the early to mid 80’s that included a short lived comic and mini comics that came in most boxes.

There are multiple stories for MASK, the cartoon had the leader, Matt Trakker as …

Another group shot of the original girls from the Manga—it looks official to me, so I’m sticking with that! Back row: Mio and Tsumugi, Front row: Ritsu, Azusa and Yui. Why such a basic cover piece? Well, this chapter can only have a picture if someone draws it for me, so no hope there…But, this is a written piece, so enjoy!

Last time on K-ON!!!!! “Beautiful World” the girls discover what their new found fame meant to them and became charitable in many ways. Now the spotlight is on Miho as she and her friends in the Kaganui Family Girls School; …

It has been awhile, hasn’t it? There have been a good number of Masters of the Universe Classics released in the last few months, but I have been unable to review them. There is a reason for that, one that I will get into soon. Before I do, I thought it would be nice to take a look at the October MOTUC release: Mantenna!

I want to start with showing what was printed on the white mailer box: instructions for creating Mantenna’s eye effect. The way in which the Four Horsemen designed Mantenna was pure genius.

I’ve always been a fan …
