Crank opens Friday

The end of summer officially happens this weekend but at least we get a good guy movie to help us end it. Well, we think it looks good, we haven't actually seen the thing yet. What we do know is Jason Statham can drive like a mofo (and we still want that Audi), the movie is rated R for violence, language, sex and nudity, and we'd like to see Amy Smart naked.

Hopefully this will all work out.

If not you can always go see The Wicker Man though don't keep your hopes up on that one. We like Nicolas Cage but when the "screening" is at 10PM the night before it opens, we have to wonder why the studio doesn't want us seeing this thing far enough in advance to let you know what we think.

Saw III preview at Crank screenings

As if we needed another reason to go see Crank when it comes out September 1st, Lionsgate has decided to show moviegoers the full opening scene of Saw III.

If what I'm reading is true this will be the full unedited scene, blood and all.

So if you're not into horror you might want to close your eyes at the beginning... maybe send your date out to get you a fresh popcorn or something.

The Quiet

So I'm sitting in the theater watching trailers before The Descent starts and I see the "Sony Classic Pictures" screen come up. Obviously they targeted this trailer poorly.. yep.. some teenage drama thing, but at least Elisha Cuthbert is in it and and DAMN is she hot.

Wait... Elisha is hitting on her dad? What's she gonna do with that iron?! And those blue shorts!! Yowza!

OK, so maybe they got their target market right after all. Check out the trailer and see if you agree.

Shrek 3

We love the green guy as much as anyone else, but when we got an email announcement about the web site for the third installment we we're hoping for a trailer or something. Nope, just a little bit of movement. Still, we're looking forward to the movie.

On a side note, if you go to Google then click on images and do a search for "Shrek 3" with safesearch turned off... cover your eyes.

It's finally Snakes on a Plane week

We've been low key about it since every other site on the planet has been going on and on and on about Snakes on a Plane, but now that it's almost here we can't contain ourselves any longer.

The movie might suck, it could be the worst in Mr. Jackson's career... and we'd probably still like it due to the premise alone. I mean come on, it's Snakes on a Mother F-in Plane!

There aren't any screenings for this one that I'm aware of so we'll have to turn in our thoughts on Friday. Stay tuned to find out if it's worth the hype or not.

Super Hero Movies: The Human Side

Studios have pretty much gobbled up every comic book title out there. CGI technology has evolved to the point that comic book action can be brought to the big screen and look darned good. This summer we've had another installment of the Xmen and the man of steel has also returned to the big screen with amazing visuals.

Superman got me to thinking though. This year's Superman is perhaps a bit more human than previous incarnations. He stalks Lois Lane and checks her out with his xray vision. Hey, dont judge, you know you'd do the same thing! I mean the poor guy hasn't had any for over 5 years, now he's back, she's looking all hot, of course he's gonna sneak a peek with those xray eyes.

But here's where my mind started to wonder....what other really human issues does Superman and other super heroes deal with on a daily basis. I mean does the "man of steel" wake up with a blue steel pee boner in the morning? And if so does he use his power of flight to get upside down to aim at the toilet or does he just ricochet it off the ceiling?

Here are some of my other thoughts:

What happens if the Hulk eats a huge bowl of chili? This may be yet another reason his pants have to be very flexible and nearly indestructable.

You know Wolverine has to be VERY careful when he gets a little stink finger.

Spiderman is out web slinging all night, you know he has to stop and take a dump occasionally. Does that suit have a trap door?

Imagine the blue flamers that Johnny Torch can light at will...

Ben Grimm....when he takes a crap, is it a pile of rocks?

And I dont even want to think about Wonder Woman on PMS....

The Office

Another Thursday, another episode of The Office is available for you to watch online.

BTW we're supposed to be getting in some Dwight bobbleheads to give away to you guys, so keep your eyes open for that. You know you want one of those for your desk!

Best Marketing Idea EVER!

O Lord, New Line has out done themselves this time. How would you like to have Samuel L. Jackson give your friend a call to remind them to go see Snakes on a Plane? Not a personal call of course, but it is personalized by you depending on how you fill out the form.

You just need to hear this for yourself, it's fantastic entertainment!
