Sunday Movie Theater: The God of Cookery 食神 (1996)

Stephen Chow as Stephen Chow in a Stephen Chow movie
The second movie review to be featured on my blog this month, after "Charlie's Farm" (2014) in the inaugural "Monday Home Video" segment last week, but since it's Sunday today, you know this will be a visit to the Sunday Movie Theater instead, the first visit in 2016 at that. ^^

And since it's getting close to Chinese New Year, I picked a Cantonese movie for this posting, and unlike "Rouge" (胭脂扣, 1988), it's all good to be watched during this festive season. ^^


Movie poster is from Wikipedia.

More images of Figma Kuroneko after introducing her accessories and option parts in the previous posting. ^^

Figma Kuroneko Part 2

After the introduction, this posting will focus on the accessories and option parts included in this Figma set. ^^



Accessories and option parts included for Figma Kuroneko.
Even though they are included in the images above, the chair and "Shift Body" option part will be shown in a separate posting to focus on the special sitting pose they are designed for.

HG Build Custom GP Base Part 2

Gunpla work with Adobe Photoshop
Starting to work on HG Build Custom GP Base after the introduction in the previous posting, with the focus being the information card for the base's display screen. ^^


The template for the information card included with the kit, ...


... versus the GP Base display screen as seen in "Gundam Build Fighters". ^^;
As mentioned in the previous posting, the information card template included inside the instruction manual is only useful if you're alright with having only a blank screen for all the kits to be displayed with the GP Base, and you are willing to cut out that portion of the manual in the first place. Personally, I prefer to have different screens that can represent the Gunplas on display accurately, not just in terms of the information of the kits, but with display elements as seen in the anime as well. ^^

For that matter, handwriting on the information card cut out from the instruction manual was never one of the options when I was pondering on what to do with this kit. ^^;

Monday Home Video: Charlie's Farm (2014)

A bad start to a new series. Wait, what?
Starting up a new posting series this year. ^^

The idea of this new series came from a past conversation I had with my friends on some of movies we watched and enjoyed. After listing many good movies (the ones that I would definitely recommend in Sunday Movie Theater), plus perhaps two or three cups of coffee too many, we started talking about some of the mediocre movies that we actually liked. ^^ We were joking and laughing at how bad those movies are, but we watched them and did genuinely enjoyed ourselves when doing so. ^^ As such, I think it's my duty to the human race to make mention of those movies through this segment. XD

Good movies, watch them in a movie theater when you are free on a weekend - Sunday Movie Theater; bad movies, watch them at home during the weekdays so that if you get bored to sleep by them, you're safely in your own house, hence "Monday Home Video" is set as the segment's title. XD

At the moment, I'm planning to have one posting each from Sunday Movie Theater and Monday Home Video each month - for balance between good and not-so-good movies. XD However, if having two movie-related postings each month becomes too much for the blog, posting just one from either series each month is an option as well.

Having introduce the idea behind this new posting series, it's time to actually talk about the movie that has the "honor" of being the first to be featured in Monday Home Video. XD


Movie poster is from IMDB.
Not picking on this movie with deliberate intention - I just watched it recently so the fresh memory prompted me to immediate talk about it. ^^

HG Build Custom GP Base Part 1

Can't have HG Build Strike Gundam without this accessory
Second Gunpla work (sort of) in 2016 XD


With the completion of the work on HG 1/144 Build Strike Gundam Full Package in the previous posting, this accessory is a natural follow-up to that kit due to its in-universe connection. As a matter of fact, the increased price of the overall kit notwithstanding, I think it wouldn't be out of place if it was included with HG 1/144 Build Strike Gundam Full Package and subsequently offered as a separate kit. ^^
