TERMINATOR: SALVATION
Best Summer of Movies Ever After starting with a Wolverine turd, this summer is set to start kicking all kinds of ass real soon. I’m seeing Star Trek in IMAX on Saturday night, and soon after that comes T4. Watch this four-minute clip. This is the “angry robots blowing everything up” movie that will rule the summer. To hell with Transformers 2.

DEADPOOL
Dead or Alive? The X-Men are no longer mutating. They’re reproducing. Or at least spinning off franchise wannabes. Guarantee you we won’t ever get to see Deadpool 2.

THE HANGOVER
Dead of Night Because you’ve always wanted to see Mike Tyson performing a cover of a Phil Collins classic. Or at least I have. Now I can check that off my bucket list.

A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR CHRISTMAS
There’s a Lump of Coal in Your Bong The first Harold and Kumar movie was awesome. In fact, I watched the DVD with my kids. (Yes, I am a horrible parent, but I have great taste in movies.) They didn’t get to see the sequel, though … because it was crap. And I’m simply gonna tell ‘em that this rumored trilogy finale is about as real as Santa Claus, because there’s no way Kal Penn’s gonna ditch the Obama administration for another go-round.

SHERLOCK HOLMES vs. IRON MAN 2
Nice Suit(s) Check out Tony Stark in the new Iron Man suit, and here’s a bunch of pics from Sherlock Holmes. If they got in a fight, I’m pretty sure Iron Man would win. But Sherlock would look great getting his ass kicked, and his girlfriend is a lot hotter, even when she’s wearing mom slacks.
