RECAP: The Amazing Race - "I Feel Like I'm In, Like, Sicily"

With only two legs to go in The Amazing Race, you'd think that teams would be stepping their games up a bit and trying to avoid the types of stupid mistakes that they had been making so far. Not so, apparently, as last night's episode featured a number of errors from every team but the Cowboys. I'd like to think that the teams that make it to the end are the best of the best, but since the teams this season have ranged from impressively stupid to borderline retarded, that's not saying much. They're still making asinine mistakes by note reading their clues closely enough, or by not paying attention to their surroundings, or by getting overly frustrated when the locals don't speak English. Read on for the full recap.

FILM REVIEW: Kick-Ass

A good superhero movie is a hard thing to pull off. What comes across as awesome and entertaining on the pages of comic books often becomes ridiculous and/or downright stupid when it gets translated onto the big screen. It’s easy to draw a superhero and make him or her look cool, but when you actually create that costume, you start to realize just how weird it would be to see someone dressed in spandex and wearing a mask walking down the street. Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, based on the best-selling comic book series by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr., manages to avoid being ridiculous by playing with just how ridiculous the idea of being a superhero really is.

RECAP: Lost - "The Last Recruit"

Only four episodes left, and Lost has now shifted from not moving at all to rushing headlong towards the finish line. The storylines in the idiotic alternate universe are converging, and events on the Island are indicating a climactic battle within the next few episodes. Read on for the full recap.

Movie Preview - Batman: Under the Red Hood (Part II)

A while back, I mentioned the upcoming DC Universe Original Animated Movies feature Batman: Under the Red Hood. The trailer for the movie has just been released, giving us a bit more information about the actual film. Oddly enough, the one place this trailer hasn't appeared yet is on the goddamn official website. Anyway, the trailer is after the jump.

Internet Goodness: Marvel vs. Capcom 3

When people tell me that I play too many video games or that comic books are anything but awesome, I typically respond with a series of expletives, usually accompanied by a dismissive wanking motion and/or a mouthfart. Video games are a fantastic use of my time, and comics are indeed awesome. So when big dick swinger from Capcom got together with what I can only assume was a beautiful, big breasted woman from Marvel to create Marvel vs. Capcom back in 1999, you can probably imagine how tight my pants got (very). Well, that marvelous couple is back, and they're creating Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. I don't even like fighting games, but stuff like this makes me tingle in my special areas.

Here's the trailer:

Internet Goodness: Barats and Bereta

Look, I know I said I'd be posting more often, but I've had papers to write and 2-year-old episodes of Prison Break to watch, so get off my back, OK? What am I, your ONLY source of entertainment? Read a damn book or something.

Or watch these guys. This is Barats and Bereta, an Internet comedy duo. Their stuff is hit or miss, but more often than not they're hilarious. They've recently updated their website, and the update video they made to announce it is metal as hell. It's only a little over a minute long, so watch the whole thing because the best part is right near the end.

In unrelated site news, now that I'm almost entirely done my school work FOREVER (*jumps on table, air guitars, pleasures three lingerie models simultaneously*), I'll be posting a couple of movie reviews this week; they'll probably be Hot Tub Time Machine (I know it's been a while, but the DVD just came out so shut up and read it) and Kick-Ass (see? I can be contemporary).

Internet Goodness: Sam Jackson Plays Guess Who

I found this picture an hour ago and I haven't been able to stop laughing about it.
