I’m going to be 100% honest with you right now:  I have officially lost my shit.  As if all of the news surrounding the Avengers movie wasn’t cool enough (Joss Whedon writing/directing, Cap is Evans, etc) things just got a whole lot cooler.  Mark Ruffalo was officially revealed at Comic-Con as Bruce Banner/The Hulk and [...]

Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis in a Todd Phillips (The Hangover) directed movie.  The hell else do you think I need to add here?  Watch and anticipate.

Thanks to Tees For All, we have a great new contest just in time for the release of Iron Man 2 tomorrow! Or tonight if you’re going to midnight screenings. We’re giving away the following shirt to the lucky reader who emails us!

The shirt will come in an XL size and will ship, free of charge to the winner. As per usual, all that we ask is for you to send us an email using the after the break and you’ll be automatically entered. On Friday around 5pm central, we’ll close out the contest and randomly choose a winner. Good luck and thanks for reading Media Breach!

Ok, I guess I get to be the bad guy on this one. Iron Man 2 is terrible. Serously. Terrible. Ok ok. I like the … the race scene I guess. So instead of saying it was bad (I’ll backpedal here a little and say that the movie isn’t terrible in the entire negatively-associated sense of the word – [...]

This week we discuss Super 8, Zombie Beatles, Danny McBride and Aziz Ansari in a movie together, Marvel making 3D movies, Elizabeth Perkins leaving Weeds, Iron Man 2, Exit Through the Gift Shop, and Lost.

I’m not going to go so far as to say that you’ll love Iron Man 2. I don’t know you. That’s even considering that whoever might be reading this is more than likely a nerd. There are many kinds of nerds out there and some just don’t dig comic books or the movies that are birthed from them. Hey, I can’t fucking stand card games like Magic. See? Different classes of nerds. With most of the reviews from people who get paid to do what I’m doing saying that this movie is “so-so” and folks who have similar tastes to us here at Media Breach saying this is a “smoldering load of goodness you want in your face”, I can understand how one would be conflicted about the actually quality of this film. I’ve let my initial reaction to this movie die down to try and figure out exactly why anybody wouldn’t like this film or flat out not love it and I think I figured out why.

That’s right, haters, I loved it. Loved, loved, loved, Iron Man 2. As soon as the opening credits started being displayed, I knew it would rule. This is the kind of summer/sequel/comic book movie I love to see. There’s mounds of payoff, call backs to the first film (which I had the pleasure of seeing in the theater again just before the midnight screening of IM2), way more laughs than I expected, and just some all around great action littered with fanboy moments. I know a lot of people said the same thing in May 2008, but the rest of the films releasing this summer are on notice; the bar has been set so good luck.

I guess I missed this story on AICN but word has it that Gwyneth Paltrow gets punched in the face in Iron Man 2. The video after the jump details the nerd outcry over this startling revelation.

This was just too awesome not to post. I let out an audible nerd gasm at one of the very last shots. My only fear is that this trailer will push expectations into Dark Knight territory but with Downey and Favreau steering the ship, I think we’ll be ok. Check it out after the jump.

This week we talk about Avatar cash, Up In The Air, Sherlock Holmes, D.J. Hero, Assassin’s Creed 2, The God of War Collection, the Apple Magic Mouse, and the Zune HD Dock.

I’ve been pretty much sold on this flick since I saw the first trailer. I’ll admit though that my initial reaction to hearing about the movie was less than enthused. But now that I’ve actually seen it I can give you an actual opinion rather than speculate. I really enjoyed myself [...]

Iron Man 2 has a trailer with not one but TWO AC/DC songs. Check it out after the break!
