Many of our readers and us were anticipating the release of “Sucker Punch” this past weekend. However, I don’t think anyone knew for sure whether it would actually be good or not. Personally, the trailer was not too enticing but I was relying on past success of director Zach Snyder movies “300″ and “Watchmen” Because of the Zoot Miami vacation none of us had time actually see it or talk to anyone who did. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone usually pins movies pretty well so I checked out his review this morning. Pretty much just confirming our doubts. Anyone has else who has seen it feel free to comment.

This man is Hollywood’s unsung hero. He’s got a longer filmography then some A-list celebrities. And they say you can’t make a living on being an extra. His name is Jesse Heiman, feel his wrath.

There is a new site that is really blowing up quickly, and for a good reason. It is called ifyouwatchitbackwards.com and pretty much all it does is explain things as if they were performed backwards. For instance if you watch it backwards, SCHINDLER’S LIST is the happy story of German soldiers rescuing Jews from an unproductive factory, nursing them back to health, clothing them, and helping them move into temporary living quarters in Warsaw. Here is a collection of some really good ones with some imagery, then I also added a few bonus ones at the end.

The Fast and Furious series is making it’s return this summer with the best of the best cast from previous installments. All of the movies have been really entertaining, except for the ones Vin Diesel isn’t in, those blew, and this one looks like it can top them all. On top of all the explosions, fast cars, $100 million dollar heists, I am deeply in love with Mia Torreto, aka Jordana Brewster, I want to marry her, especially since she makes the best tuna sandwich on Earth, fact.

There is a point in everyones life we they try to identify with a counter-culture, try to rebel against the norms and what society tries to make them. Whether it’s hating authority, loving bob marley, living reckless, a tiny tattoo or the way your dress. Everyone has some form of expression to take their shot at saying “I’m different!” “I do what I want!” There are few groups in the US that take this to limit, individuals do all the time, but not groups. The religious compounds maybe, but they live by a gods rules. The hippie communes of 60′s perhaps, but even they followed guidelines of love and a respect for nature. Or maybe the “off the grid” people living out the desert. Either way there is a fascination and near respect for those willing to truly rebel and show zero care for what others think of them. If there wasn’t we all wouldn’t have our own little acts of rebellion. A group of people like this is mesmerizing. The White clan of West Virginia is the true family of the counter culture, living lawlessly with a devotion to each other and no care for outsiders. “The Wild and Wonderful Whites” is a documentary released in May 2010 by Dickhouse Productions that follows the clan in their home Boone County WV for a year. Shoot-outs, robberies, gas-huffing , drug dealing, pill popping, murders, and tap dancing – what do these all have in common? These are just a few of the parts of being a member of the Wild and Wonderful White Family. If you think your standing apart from the world with your tattoo or your 80′s t-shirt this doc will put things in perspective.

X-MEN FIRST CLASS charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to prevent nuclear Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-Men. In theaters June 3rd. O and P.S. Kevin Bacon is in this movie FUCK YEA, he plays Sebastian Shaw who possesses the ability to absorb kinetic energy and transform it into raw strength, whatever that means.
