Christopher Lee is no stranger to awesomeness, and his latest forray into the world of having a deep voice and being generally intimidating is Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross. His website describes it as a “metal concept album”, but I’ll let you be the judge.

When G-Force came out in the theaters a while ago, I kept kidding my wife that we were going to go see it, whether she liked it or not. Well, that never happened, but I got the last laugh, because now we have it on Blu-ray.
How was it? It was exactly what I thought it would be. I laughed a lot, just maybe not for the reasons the filmmakers intended. I just wanted to watch some CG gerbils save the world.
It’s produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, so you know the action is going to be great, and it stars the voices of Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Jon Favreau, Penelope Cruz, Tracy Morgan, and Steve Buscemi. Oh, and Zak Galifianakis is in it too. What are you waiting for?
It seems like Hulu gets all the movies I rented constantly as a kid in the 90s. One of their newest additions is the guilty-pleasure Captain America movie from 1990. I loved this as a kid, even though I knew it was horrible.
If nothing else, it will get you pumped up that they’re finally making a real Captain America movie soon.
Check out the details on IMDB, and thanks to SlashFilm for the tip. Oh, and Happy New Year!
I wanted to write something about A Charlie Brown Christmas this year besides a review, something a little more academic. I thought long and hard about something deep and meaningful I could pull from the animated classic, and finally I settled on the awesome dance scene.
I’m sure everyone has imitated at least one of the dances from A Charlie Brown Christmas once in their lives, but I doubt few have mastered them all. Here is your chance.
Everyone’s favorite 80s-themed t-shirt purveyor 80sTees.com has released an amazing Shredder Hoodie for anyone out there brave enough to wear it.
Everything about this is pretty brilliant, from the zip-up mask to the little knobby spikes and the purple back that looks like his cape.
The Shredder Hoodie is $60 on 80sTees, and if you buy me one I will happily tell the world how awesome you are.
