The Iron Man 2 footage from last month’s Comic-Con in San Diego has finally appeared online, courtesy of some dude and his video camera.

What do NBC’s The Philanthropist, Secret Millionaire, and Seven Pounds have in common with Iron Man, Batman, and Bono? This week’s Culture Warrior will tell you.

West Coast editor Robert Fure checks in with his own video blog reaction to the panel that blew the roof off Comic-Con’s Saturday line-up, Marvel Studios presentation of Iron Man 2.

The folks at Yahoo Movies have debuted one brand new photo from the upcoming Marvel Studios actioner Iron Man 2 this evening, which shows off Scarlett Johansson looking hot as Natasha Romanoff.

As a fan of the comics, it looks like Favreau is saying all the right things when it comes to elements of Iron Man 2. Should I continue getting my hopes up about War Machine and Tony Stark losing his mind? I think so.

Robert Downey Jr. spills a few little thematic details, talks about the “demon in a bottle” storyline and comments on how hot Scarlett Johansson will look as Black Widow. In related news, this Iron Man 2 movie is happening.

Everybody and their mother seems to have an opinion about Terrence Howard’s dismissal on Iron Man 2. Now we get to hear what Iron Man himself thinks about a “Rhodey” being replaced.

Don Cheadle just seems like a really nice guy. And it is for this reason that he doesn’t make the greatest terrorist.

If there’s one thing spy movies teach us, it’s that doing clandestine work is better when you’re totally hammered. This also applies to accounting, running the country, and professional beer tasting.

Tomorrow, actor Don Cheadle will be infiltrating your local cineplex with his new action thriller Traitor, but we’d like to do what we can to get you in on the action ahead of time.

The film is billed as a call to action, and thanks to us hooking up with Warner Home Video, this is a call that you have a chance to receive absolutely free.

When you really think about it, how can you not be a big fan of Don Cheadle — the guy is a slice of awesome with a side of amazing.

Richard Gere seems to have been making superb career choices lately. Now he plans to keep it up by signing on for two films we should start anticipating as he will be working with some great talents.
