Ask anyone on the web and they will tell you that nothing could be worse than an Uwe Boll movie. At this point, having seen Boll’s latest film Postal, I must disagree. There are worse out there — and their names are Friedberg and Seltzer.

Lionsgate has dropped off a few new Statham-infused photos in my inbox. One is from Transporter 3 and the other is from Crank 2. I will let you guess which one is from which film.

Over the years I did manage to sneak a peek at several of these illustrated books, and one series in particular caught my eye. That series was Preacher, and between the bright, breathing art of Steve Dillon and the sharp and hilarious writing of Garth Ennis.

Not every little film can be Juno. But thankfully there is always life on DVD, and for the following 11 films, it appears that the time is now (or at least in the next month or so) for you to reach out and discover them for yourself.

Kevin Carr believes that celebrity opinions on politics don’t matter, yet he buys the sodas they endorse, the diapers they buy their children, and joined a pyramid scheme just because John Cusack told him to.
