Minority Report Movie Collectible Baseball Cap

One of my favorite sci-fi movies is Minority Report and I remember I was absolutely delighted to get this great looking baseball cap.The movie cap is still in mint condition with the tags still attached. This particular baseball cap is made in the States, which is quite rare these days considering that almost everything is made either in China, Bangladesh or the Philippines.

The Riddler Pouch for Batman and Robin Movie

This is a movie tie-in item from Burger King for Batman and Robin from 1997. I purchased this pouch with a burger meal (can't remember the price). It is perfect for storing my hard disk drive.

Astro Boy set of 4 McDonalds Happy Meal Toys (2004)

This lovely set of 4 McDonalds Happy Meal toys was released in 2004 and there wasn't any Astro Boy movie. I'm hoping that McDonalds will release another new series of Happy Meal toys since there is a new Astro Boy movie. Keeping my fingers crossed xx

Collectible Spiderman Movie Watch from M1


The first Spiderman movie screened in 2002 and this was one of the Spiderman products licensed to mobile phone and broadband retailer M1 in 2002. You had to purchase certain mobile products and services to get this nice watch for free. I wanted this watch as soon as I saw it!

The Next Best Thing Movie Mugs

Best buddies Abbie (Madonna), a heterosexual yoga instructor, and Robert (Rupert Everett), a gay landscaper, cope with failed relationships, the approach of middle age, and the AIDS-related death of a mutual friend by sticking together as a "family of choice." Drunk one night, they have sex, and when Abbie turns up pregnant, they decide to move in together and raise the child as decidedly unconventional co-parents. Flash forward several years and Abbie begins dating Ben (Benjamin Bratt), an investment banker. The new relationship causes tension between Abbie and Robert that ultimately leads to betrayal, courtroom confrontation, and a sudden denouement. This was pop diva Madonna's first film role since the hoopla of Evita, she supplied a highly edited hit cover of Don McLean's "American Pie" for the soundtrack.

Nostalgic Astro Boy Wind-Up Tin Toys to be released in Singapore!


Good news for fans of Astro Boy in Singapore. These 2 lovely designs will be available in Singapore soon! According to the Museum of Shanghai Toys, the Astro Boy Tin Toy should be out by November. The price has not been fixed yet for these toys but confirmed information is they will be on sale at TANG’S STUDIO (VIVO CITY only) and Museum of Shanghai Toys, Singapore.

MnM's Emperor Palpatine Plush and The Joker Snow Globe


Who can resist the Power of the Dark Side? I couldn't resist this adorable MnM's Star Wars plush the moment I laid eyes on it.  Part of the Chocolate Mpire series, the tag says this is the Emperor Palpatine version. Now I know that is not exactly a popular character in Star Wars but all the same the plush is so lovable.. I have not seen other versions but I'm hopeful there are more popular characters like Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader plushes available. Perhaps even a Boba Fett version?




This collectible globe features a vintage version of the Joker with outstretched arms, waist-high in greenbacks and in an obviously cheery mood. But of course, who could possibly be scowling with that much money lying around? You need instant therapy? Just give this lovely "snow" globe a vigorous shake and watch some greenbacks flit merrily round and round the globe. That will surely put a smile on your face, lift your spirits and perhaps take your mind off those mortgage repayments for a while. Who needs snow in a snow globe? Humbug!!!

XXX Movie Temporary Tattoo. No, its not what you think it is!


Yea I know it says "xXx" here, but sorry to say this temporary tattoo is really not promoting the latest sex-capades of Miss July in a white bunny suit (the Playboy variety, geddit?) This rather fanciful and glittery sticker was meant to promote the other "xXx" movie, the one where Vin Diesel is the ultimate adrenaline junkie with an attitude. xXx is the nick of Xander Cage, the character Vin Diesel plays in the movie. While his character is cool, this tattoo is not. You say to wear it out for a party? Over my dead body.

The Crucible Movie Bookmark


I would say that most of the time you could, with  a cursory inspection of the promotional posters and materials for a movie, quite accurately determine the subject matter and tone of the move. The official movie tagline normally offers one such dead giveaway, other obvious clues could come from the design and layout of the movie poster, colours used and especially the facial expressions of the characters depicted on premium paper.
In short, what I really mean is that The Crucible is one helluva serious movie with Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Rider playing the leads, adapted from the play by Arthur Miller. How's the movie? I'll be honest here, I have not watched the movie yet. However, I do know the plot has a potent mix of witch trials, greedy preachers and a vindictive ex-lover to boot. If you don't think that is dramatic and serious stuff, just look at the dead-pan expressions of Winona Rider and Daniel-Day Lewis on the promotional bookmark. You'll understand what I mean.

Fantastic Four Movie Notebook

Another promotional item for the Fantastic Four movie is this fantastic looking notebook featuring the characters from the movie. By the way this notebook was printed by Samsung as a movie tie-in and to create awareness and visibility for their brand. This clearly reflects the confidence of the Korean electronics giant in the undeniable appeal of the Fantastic Four to keep the cash registers in their stores ringing merrily.

You've Got Mail Movie Post-it-Pad


A post-it pad from the 1998 sweet romantic comedy You've Got Mail with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan as the male and female leads who are bitter business rivals who can't stand the sight of each other but are unknowingly attracted to each other corresponding annonymously through email on the internet.  Our two leads are very comfortable in their roles in this light-hearted comedy and if you've also watched the classic Sleepless in Seattle, you can't help drawing comparisons between the two movies. I think the main theme in these 2 movies is simply that love works in mysterious ways. Sometimes you may find it where you least expected it. I can't decide which movie is better because I like them both.  If you're a  movie fan of this genre, I'm sure you share my opinion too.
