Aside from the accurate likenesses, I also like that bobbleheads cover some of the supporting players who have not as yet been immortalized in plastic. Case in point -- Dr. Pierre Chang a.k.a. Dr. Edgar Halliwax.
For sheer visual splendour the valley within Kualoa Ranch is hard to beat. The area has attracted many film and television productions including Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and LOST. In fact, the day of our tour there was a crew shooting in the valley, allegedly for a Shakira music video. Jurassic Park 4 had also been filming recently. In terms of LOST there are multiple locations scattered over the property: the Tempest station , Richard Alpert's pre-Island home , the area where Ana-Lucia killed Goodwin , Jughead's tower , the hill down which Hurley drove a Dharma van , the suspension bridge Hurley and Charlie crossed to reach Rousseau , the spot where the Man in Black smashed Jacob's wine bottle , and Hurley's golf course to name a few. In 2011 I toured Kualoa Ranch in a humvee with 3 of my LOSTie pals.

Eraserhead A unique experience, a total-body transfer to another plane of existence with gorgeous black-and-white photography and immersive sound. 2. Elephant Man Beautiful black-and-white images paired with heart-breaking emotion. 3. Lost Highway Perhaps Lynch's most under-rated film. A creepy, moody mind-screw. 4. Mulholland Drive Mostly wonderful, slightly weakened structurally by the fact that it began life as a pilot for a TV series. 5. Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me Less than the best moments of the series but still a powerful tale of evil lurking in the northwest. 6. Blue Velvet I haven't watched this is a while and I'm almost afraid to. Dennis Hopper's performance is the stuff of dreams -- very bad dreams. 7. The Straight Story A quiet but strong fi...
