Loot Crate has really raised the bar this month with the Galaxy crate. Inside are some of the things that I like getting from Loot Crate most of all. An amazing T-shirt that shows a fun scene of our solar system and some cool NASA things like the Mars Rover and the International Space Station done in an 8-bit format. I also love Funko Pop characters and this month there is a Han Solo figure in snow gear from the new movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Also we have a pair of BB-8 socks based on the character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Speaking of Star Wars: The Force Awakens here is some incredible information. Continue reading Galaxy Loot Crate for December 2015

Review: ANT-MAN 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack

ANT-MAN

ANT-MAN is now available everywhere. I have him in the smallest version possible, digital. I received a copy of the 3D Blu-ray Combo pack to review. I saw ANT-MAN in the theater a couple of times and it was really funny. It is the funniest of all the marvel movies so far. Even though I though Guardians was really funny, ANT-MAN was the funniest. Now I have the movie in my own home and available anywhere through Disney Movies Anywhere. I’ve been able to watch the movie as well as all the extras. My favorite extra is the whole featurette, Let’s Go To The Macroverse. It talks about how the movie was made with regards to the filming the small world around ANT-MAN. Tons of macro photography was done to capture the textures and details of that small level.

Paul Rudd is Ant-Man

The Movie itself is great fun. At its core it is a heist movie. Scott Lang is a Robin Hood like thief that was caught and sent to jail. He’s out and trying to change his ways so that he can be a better father to his daughter, Cassie. However, it is tough for an ex-con and he soon finds himself falling back into the life of a thief. He is helped by some friends and eventually meets Hank Pym who is the original ANT-MAN. Not a spoiler since anyone who is anyone should know one of the original founders of The Avengers. Hank enlists Scott into a scheme to break into his former company to steal something and this is where it gets really fun and interesting.

Hank’s daughter, Hope, helps train Scott to become the new ANT-MAN. So with this movie you get heists, training montages and some very funny moments, especially with a Thomas the Tank Engine. Check out the press release below for more. Continue reading Review: ANT-MAN 3D Blu-ray Combo Pack
