Step 1: Find ridiculously sweet bear costume
Step 2: Run through the woods punching women
Step 3: ???????
Step 4: Profit

I’ve embedded a video clip after the jump of all the best scenes from The Wicker Man remake… and by best scenes I mean absolutely ridiculous scenes. This has got to be one of the worst movies ever produced, yet it’s hysterical.

Wow, talk about an absolutely ridiculous looking movie. Check out the promo for Crank 2: High Voltage above and tell me it doesn’t look ridiculous. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not, but I’ll probably end up checking it out.

Here are the DVD and Blu-Ray releases for today, nothing too notable (Towelhead is supposed to be decent), but Eagle Eye did come out this past Sunday. Is there a reason the last couple weeks have had notable Sunday releases? Last week was Death Race and this week Eagle Eye… is it just a Holiday thing? I haven’t decided if I’m going to pick up Eagle Eye today or not, it all depends on what Netflix ships this morning.

Here is the official poster for Fast & Furious. The movie stars Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster (same cast as the original). Probably won’t be a “good” movie, but I’m sure it’ll be entertaining as long as you turn your brain off.

After watching the Falcons crush the Vikings yesterday I decided to pop in the Traitor blu-ray and check it out. The movie stars Don Cheadle as a CIA agent on an extremely top secret mission to infiltrate some terrorist cell and bring down it’s leader. All while the FBI is chasing him down because they think he is a terrorist.

I enjoyed the movie, it didn’t have quite as much action as I was expecting, but it was still a pretty good movie. I like Cheadle in the role, it seemed to fit him pretty well, unlike his role in the upcoming Iron Man 2. I still don’t see how he’s going to fill Terrance Howard’s shoes as Rhodes, but I guess we’ll see. I don’t know why, but the movie kind of reminded me of Syriana, but not as boring. I hated Syriana, fell asleep in the theater and still think it’s a terribly boring movie. But don’t go into this one expecting some ridiculous action like True Lies or Die Hard or something (haha, trying to think of a ridiculous action movie with terrorists), it’s still very much an action/drama and a few parts do drag a bit, but overall I thought it was an enjoyable movie that held my attention pretty well for 2 hours.  I did figure out the ending pretty soon after it all started to come together, so that was a little disappointing.

There are a couple new SMODcasts over at Quickstop Entertainment if you enjoy listening to Kevin Smith talk for an hour. They took a pretty long break after Zack and Miri got released and just came back last week to talk about what went wrong with the movie and it’s release and why it had such a poor opening. And then this week they talk about part 2 of that, which is basically that they were pretty stupid for being so hard on themselves and getting depressed over it since in actuality Zack and Miri is their highest box office grossing movie yet, despite the weak opening weekend.

…In One Week!

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, The Dark Knight has smashed previous record held by Iron Man for most Blu-Ray discs sold in a week. Iron Man held the record previously with 500,000 blu-ray discs sold in it’s first week, but The Dark Knight swooped in and smashed that record selling 1.7 million in it’s first week even despite the lack of extra features some people are complaining about. Personally I don’t think there is a lack of features on the disc, but then again I don’t listen to commentary tracks on most movies which is what a lot of people are complaining about.

So congratulations to The Dark Knight on yet another broken record. The movie also sold 13.5 million regular DVDs making it a strong contender for best selling movie of 2008. Which is pretty good considering it only has about 23 days to sell more than any other movie has sold all year.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor stars Brenden Fraiser and Jet Li and is the “third” movie in The Mummy series. I kind of consider it the 4th, since The Scorpion King was set in the same world and was meant as a supplement to The Mummy Returns, but anyways. This latest installment was pretty good overall. I enjoyed The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, they weren’t the greatest movies, but they are entertaining with some pretty cool special effects. Dragon Emperor continues that tradition of action mixed with comedy and great special effects, for the most part. I wasn’t too impressed with how the dragon looked as well as the yeti’s. They just didn’t seem to be lighted very well and stuck out like a sore thumb from the backgrounds. But the story itself was very entertaining and funny at the right parts. I think if you’re a fan of The Mummy and The Mummy Returns you will definitely enjoy this one.

One complaint about Universal’s Blu-ray discs in general, seriously work on menus guys. Why do you use the exact same menu system for every single blu-ray you put out? It’s lame and boring.

Apparently since I kinda liked the movie Monster House, Netflix has recommended Ant Bully and Waist Deep. Ant Bully I can see, it’s another family oriented type animated movie similar to Monster House, but Waist Deep? I don’t get that one. Here’s what Netflix has to say about Waist Deep:

Trying to walk the straight and narrow for his son’s sake, recently paroled O2 (Tyrese Gibson) ends up on the wrong side of the law after a gang abducts the youngster during a carjacking. As a brutal mob boss (rapper The Game) holds the boy hostage for a sizable ransom, O2 and resourceful hooker Coco (Meagan Good) set off on a string of bank heists à la Bonnie and Clyde. Larenz Tate plays O2’s shifty cousin in this gritty urban drama.

Sounds just like Monster House to me…. uhhh, right. Thanks for the suggestion Netflix, I’m sure little kids will love this movie.

Here are the DVD & Blu-ray releases for today December 16th. A few good ones today, Mummy: Tomb of The Dragon Emperor and Mamma Mia. I probably won’t be picking anything up since it’s so close to the Holidays. What are you guys picking up today?
