Butter and Allah Give Man Strength of 260 Horses...


Honestly, this is the most amazing thing I've seen all year.

In the following video, you will see a man with a life so amazing, you'll swear it must be a hoax. But I say thee nay! His heart is so faithful, he married 28 times. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Egyptian Hulk...

I saw The Happening tonight...


I don't know what was worse for that movie; competing with The Incredible Hulk or Mark Wahlberg's douche-chillingly bad performance (and he's usually good!).

On the upside, there are a ton of mesmerizing shots of Zooey Deschanel's beautiful baby blues that made me swoon and some awesome shots of trees.

All in all, it's like watching a William Shatner episode of The Twilight Zone.

Live Every Week Like It's Hulk Week



Don't make me angry, you won't like me when I'm angry.

When I walked into Universal Pictures' and Marvel Studio's The Incredible Hulk, I felt residual pangs of disappointment from Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk adaptation. I suppose it's only natural since it's only been 5 years since Hulk Dogs and Absorbing Dad. The original flick gave me douche chills, and douche chills make me angry. Thankfully, The Incredible Hulk's title sequence washed away the dread, much like an actual douche. Weird, no?

Director Louis Leterrier had a tough job with this flick. Mr. Leterrier had to make us forget the existential mess from 2003 and capitalize on the recent success of Jon Favreau's Iron Man. He did a fantastic job! The movie connects to ol' Shellhead's cinematic debut with a few references to Stark Industries and SHIELD as well as to a handful of Marvel staples. He delivers a slam bang action story with the heart of the TV series. This IS the Hulk!

The supporting cast is weaved together from the decades of comics continuity and even a TV show cameo in a seamless fashion. The movie moves at a solid pace, delivering the perfect balance of tortured Bruce Banner and the savage Hulk. So, please check out the movie and maybe you'll feel the same excitement as the kid above.
