Okay, first things first. I did see Mel Gibson’s THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST several weeks ago, when it was still fairly new to the theater. I held off on reviewing the film for a variety of reasons, but it kinda pained me at the time, because I had a helluva lot to say about it…

As both a movie buff and a musicphile, I tend to pay a lot of attention to the music that appears in film. I think that the music in a film can really make or break it as an accomplishment. One thing I respected about Quentin Tarantino when he hit the scene was his amazing use of music. Obscure stuff from past decades that you hadn’t thought of in ages, used in sequences where it really helped to create a mood. Unfortunately, though, Tarantino was an anomaly. Too many filmmakers consider their musical selections an afterthought, throwing on some of the least-inspired banal crap you could possibly imagine. And all too often, they use songs that have been used again and again and again. And again. And again.

I used to despise Ninjas. But that’s before I discovered CHEERLEADER NINJAS. Yes, there really is a film out there entitled CHEERLEADER NINJAS. And even more amazing than that is the fact that it’s actually pretty damn funny…

Yes, I realize that it’s been a while since I last popped in with a bootleg toy report, but I ain’t done with this thing just yet. I did skip the month of February due to a lack of time and resources, but I have come back in March for another round of everyone’s favorite flea market masterpieces.
I’m going to do things a bit differently this time around, though. I’ve got a ton of pictures of items that I couldn’t bring myself to buy, but still managed to get some …
