Photo: Havok Totally En Fuego In X-Men: First Class.
Yo! Use this picture to wash out those Floating Head Promo Posters! Fox has dropped this image of Havok from X-Men: First Class. I’m not sure what the fuck is going on, especially since I never considered the dude to be a pyrotechnic.

REVIEW: I Saw the Devil: Capture, Torture, Release, Repeat
Korea knows how to do revenge movies right, but before being edited to death, I Saw the Devil was banned from public theaters in Korea for scenes that “severely damage the dignity of human values.” Yeah whatever Korea. This is America and my red-blooded values weren’t severely damaged by this epic revenge thriller from Korean cult director Jee-woon Kim. Jee-woon has already proven himself to be a master craftsman with his previous films A Bittersweet Life, A Tale of Two Sisters and The Good, The Bad, The Weird (the latter two currently available on Netflix Watch Instantly, btw) and with I Saw the Devil he cements his greatness even further – alongside a bit of the old ultraviolence.

New X-Men: First Class Posters Are Glorious Photoshop Fail.
Apparently the Magneto and Professor X character posters released last week were of the international sort. This week we’re treated to the US version, and oh fucking boy! Nothing is cooler than floating heads superimposed over silhouettes. Well, at least some comic book geek is probably having the graphic design internship of a lifetime. Hit the jump for the posters.

Uncharted 3′s Villainess Revealed. Meet Katherine Marlowe.
Naughty Dog’s revealed the main antagonistic behind Uncharted 3, and she’s a slightly shriveled yet sexy British bitch by the name of Katherine Marlowe. The reveal was dropped onto the gaming public today in a trailer that also featured our boy Nathan in a sexy suit, ready for some back alley action. Read into that phrase as you will. Hit the jump for the video.

The Adjustment Bureau: Theological SciFi for Romantics // REVIEW
In Philip K. Dick’s 1954 short story “The Adjustment Team,” a dog barks one minute too late, causing a ripple effect that changes the course of the universe. In George Nolfi‘s The Adjustment Bureau, a loose adaptation of Dick’s story, Matt Damon catches a bus he’s supposed to miss and sets off a chain of events that force the men of the bureau to step in. Nolfi’s film is much more a romance than a scifi thriller. It’s exposition-heavy with more conversations than chases and addresses the philosophical catch-22 of predestination versus free will in an attractive little package.

Grand Theft Auto V Codenamed ‘Rush’, Set In LA?
The bubbling is beginning. Can you feel it percolating underneath the gaming community’s crotch? Soon, all shit Grand Theft Auto V will burst forth, slathering us in ultra-violence and profanity. Today, it inches closer. Apparently some dude named superannuation is a Google wizard, and is most adroit at digging up bullshit. Our boy super has gathered up information regarding a Take-Two Interactive casting call for a project codenamed Rush. Is this shit the GTA V news we’ve been frothing for? The ridiculous cast of FBI agents, yokels, hippies and mobster suggest it really may be! OH shit.

Rob Liefeld and Robert Kirkman Team-Up For Comic 'The Infinite'
Robert Kirkman is best known these days for giving the world The Walking Dead. It is by no means his only work, but it is the name they drop whenever they reference him. Rob Liefeld is known for giving the world anatomically impossible works of Awesome, and human beings with cloven feet. Together, they're going to give the world The Infinite.

Shane Black Says Iron Man 3 Is Going To Be A Tom Clancy-Esque Thriller.
Iron Man 2 was fun. It was also forgettable, and it strove so hard to integrate into a larger universe than it ended up getting lost in its own cross-marketing bullshit. Recently named director and apparent writer of the third flick, Shane Black, addressed all of this at the Omaha Film Festival this past weekend.

COMIC BOOK OF THE WEEK: – Joe the Barbarian #8
Congratulations, Joe the Barbarian! Not only did you beat Jonah Hex and Sweet Tooth in this week’s triple-threat comics cage match, but with your final issue you’ve become one of my all-time favorite limited series. You’ve earned a spot in my Best Of list and, if there’s any damn justice in the world, comics history as well.

‘Street Fighter 2′ Turns 20 Years Old. Good Lord.
It’s been brought to my attention that Street Fighter 2 turns fucking 20 years old this month. All of a sudden my receding hairline, graying follicles, and achy back make sense. I’m getting old as fuck. It feels like just yesterday I was begging enabling parents for quarters to play a few rounds of this son of a bitch at the movie theater. Or begging them to take me to the local arcade so dudes ten years older than me can take me to the woodshed in the game.

Trent Reznor Is Scoring And Acting In ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’. Awesome Bomb.
It’s still a bit of a mind-warp to contemplate that Trent Reznor won a fucking Oscar. Seeing him tanned and in a tuxedo was a trip for me, since I grew up watching him caterwauling into microphones about fucking people like animals and boring holes into heads and shit. However, this is even fucking crazier. Trent Reznor is going not only be composing the score for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, he’s going to be acting in it.

First Official Photo Of Red Skull From ‘Captain America’ Movie.
Ever since the Super Bowl Trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger dropped, my expectations for the movie have been recuperated. Probably not the best precedent to be set. It’s always better to go in with ground floor anticipation, that way anything can blow your tits off. One of the dopest things about the trailer was Hugo Weaving gettin’ his Red Skull on. So it’s of particular excitement to me that this week’s Entertainment Weekly has the first official photo of him as the Red Faced Prick. Hit the jump for the photo, and some quasi-spoilerish details.

Marvel's Shot A Secret 'Avengers' Trailer, Featuring The Villain?
It's almost too fucking bad that we live in a universe filled with eternal spoilers and the death of the reveal. I realize that I contribute to the perpetuation of this problem, but I can't help it. I'm an addict. Word vomiting out of Ain't It Cool News is that Marvel has already shot a secret trailer for The Avengers, which will be attached to either Captain America: The First Avenger, Thor, or both. And oh yeah, the trailer drops the reveal on the villain behind the enormo-flick coming out next year. This would have been a total balls-draining geekgasm to experience without foreknowledge, but c'est la internet or whatever.

Knock knock! What’s that? Oh, it’s just new evidence that life on Earth may have been carried to our glorious Marble by some fucking runaway asteroid.

New Pic of Emma Frost And Sebastian Shaw From X-Men: First Class
Empire Magazine has a news article with a new picture of Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw from X-Men: First Class. Condemn all the fucking promotional materials surrounding this flick! Every time more promo shit leaks out of this movie’s guts, the more excited I get. I’ve gone from “Meh, this is probably going to blow” to “Holy shit, this could be tight.”
