Deluxe Librarian Action Figure

Tuesday, March 10, 2009

My sister requested this for her coming birthday.
Deluxe Librarian Action Figure.
Probably it's because of her 职业病. Haha!


Deluxe Librarian Action FigureIf you just can't get enough of the Dewey decimals or if you go bananas for books, chances are you have a Librarian Action Figure. Nancy Pearl's likeness made history as the best selling Librarian Action Figure of all time, but the true collector needs this Deluxe Edition. Each 5" tall, hard vinyl figure is dressed in a stylish burgundy outfit and comes in a library diorama with a reference desk, computer, book cart, multiple book stacks and some loose books. Press the button on her back for the infamous "amazing shushing action!"


Nancy Pearl (born 12/Jan/1945) is an American librarian, best-selling author, literary critic and was, until August 2004, the Executive Director of the Washington Center for the Book at Seattle Public Library. Her prolific reading and her knowledge of books and literature first made her locally famous in Seattle, Washington
where she regularly appears on public radio recommending books.

Suspect X

Adapted from the Japanese Drama "Galileo'.
I've enjoyed the drama alot, so this movie is a must watch for me.
2 reasons: 1) Masaharu Fukuyama, 2) Kou Shibasaki
Need I say more?!?!
The plot was well written, even though from the start, we already know who the killer was,
but there was a twist in the end and an ending that was not really expected.
For me, the movie was as well as the drama.


Cast: Masaharu Fukuyama, Kou Shibasaki,
Kazuki Kitamura, Shinichi Tsutsumi

Synopsis taken from Golden Village website:
A male body is discovered. He is strangled to death where his face pulverized beyond recognition and fingers burned to a crisp. Kaoru Utsumi (played by Kou Shibasaki) is assigned to the case. The police face great difficulty in cracking the case. Thus, she seeks advice from brilliant physicist Manabu Yukawa (played by Masaharu Fukuyama), aka Detective Galileo. After analyzing the case, Yukawa suspects that the true genius behind everything is Tetsuya Ishigami (played by Shinichi Tsutsumi), the neighbor of victim's ex-wife. Ishigami happens to be Yukawa's college friend whom he regards as a true mathematics genius. Elaborate bluffs, false testimonials, loopholes in logic - all begin to appear in Detective Galileo's way as if intentionally placed as a challenge by someone with mathematical brilliance.

K-20 The Movie

Watched K-20-The Legend of the Mask with my sis on Sat, 28/Feb/09.
Didn't have much expectation for this movie because there was really not much promotion
for this movie. In the end, I enjoyed the movie alot.
Firstly, there is Takeshi Kaneshiro!
then, there is my favourite, Takako Matsuo!
and there is suspense, comic relief and a twist all roll in one.
What's not to enjoy!?!?!


Starring: Takeshi Kaneshiro, Takako Matsuo, Toru Nakamura
Sypnosis from GV:

People call him K-20, (The Phantom Thief with 20 faces). Heikichi, a circus acrobat was conned and mistaken as K-20 and subsequently arrested by Akechi Kogoro, a famous detective who once arrested K-20 himself. In the midst of clearing his name, Heikichi rescued Yoko Hashiba, the Duchess, Detective Akechis betrothed fiance. In the non-stop battle with K-20, the true identity of the thief may finally be revealed!
