This week on a very special episode of The Breachcast, we discuss our favorite hits and misses of Summer 2010. Breachcast Special Edition: Summer 2010 Wrap-Up Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz

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.

The Expendables has a rather spoilertastic, if not testosterone infused trailer.¬† I’m pretty sold as I’ve heard the entire film is an homage to overly violent and 80s style action cinema. Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz
