This week we discuss the picture of the new Spiderman, the picture of the new X-Men, Ricky Gervais telling it like it is, Kevin Smith hating Bruce Willis, George Lucas being a loon, The Green Hornet, and Lights Out.

This week we discuss Matthew Vaughn’s thoughts on the comic book film genre, Kelly Brook in Piranha 3D, Channing Tatum starring and producing The Contortionist’s Handbook, Zach Galifianakis’ beard, Kevin Smith’s Red State, Cinemapocalypse, The Expendables, The Other Guys, Friday Night Lights, Rubicon, and Mad Men.
So this was what we came for- The Expendables! A movie that promised audiences would be decimated by the shear amount of balls flying about as shrapnel throughout the film. It was 4:45AM by this point and I don’t have to tell you I was tired. Hell, after the trio of flicks we had just seen, I could have easily called it a night and gone home. Then Zack from the Alamo announced that none other than Sylvester Stallone had bought everybody in the auditorium a box of popcorn. The feast was delivered and the film started. And from the very first kill, my butt was clenched. But was it enough to sustain my excitement for a full 90 minutes? Find out after the jump.
I survived, people. I survived…
If you’re unfamiliar with this event, hosted by Zack at the famous Alamo Drafthouse in downtown Austin, it was advertised as an all night face melter. We would be shown three classic action films, selected by fans who voted on Alamo’s website, and then the regional premiere of The Expendables would complete the quadfecta of ass kickery. Oh, and did I mention this started at 10:00 pm? All I can say is I’m glad we weren’t watching Cinemapocalypse: Eat, Pray, Love, with a lead up including our favorite Julia Roberts movies. It takes the adrenaline rush of these films (along with a couple of Red Bulls) to keep a geeked up audience going.

All you need to know about the trailer here is the following- Helen Mirren-pistol whip to-the-throat. Now watch and enjoy after the jump!
I don’t know how he does it, but the man can talk for hours (three and a half to be exact) and it’s never boring. Kevin Smith has been known for his question and answer sessions for the better part of a decade now. With the release of three DVD sets covering a collection of [...]

I’ll be eating a heaping helping of crow after this… I’ve been a big supporter of this movie since I had first heard of it being in production. ¬†I even liked the trailer that everyone loathed. ¬†The fact of the matter is I’m a huge, unapologetic Kevin Smith fan. ¬†The dude is a total geek, [...]
Here is the trailer for the new Kevin Smith movie, Cop Out. You may know it as A Couple of Dicks but Warner Bros. was forced to change the title when the TV stations refused to run ads before 9pm. It seems a little over commercial but I’m willing to bet it will rule. It’s Kevin Smith after all right? Hit the jump and check it out.

I feel silly writing this review since I’ve probably seen this movie a dozen or more times. ¬†But for the last few years, it’s been my favorite Christmas movie and has become a holiday staple in our house every year. ¬†I mean seriously, can you name another Christmas movie that’s better? ¬†Didn’t think so. ¬†Now [...]
