Well Summer is almost upon us once again and it's around this time that Hollywood starts to roll out the movie machine to take your hard earned dollars in exchange for a couple of hours of hopeful entertainment.
I'm here once again to let you know what to spend your money on and what to avoid like the plague this summer at the box office.

This week lets take a look at some of my top picks!

Crank High Voltage
Chelios faces a Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart and replaced it with a battery-powered ticker that requires regular jolts of electricity to keep working.

This is one of them movies that won't make 300 million at the box office but should. Jason Statham is an excellent actor but doesn't get the respect he deserves. If you have seen any of his films then you know your in for a wild ride even if it isn't a Summer Blockbuster. Do yourself a favor and go enjoy this film.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
is based on the events surround the creation, or rather the transformation of Logan into mutant Wolverine.

Quite simple, all the previous X-Men movies made over 1 Billion Worldwide, just go see this movie!!!

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
A population of dinosaurs have survived extinction, living beneath thick layers of ice in a tropical habitat, and are released when the ice thaws.

This franchise just gets better and better. Fresh jokes and a great story are just two reasons to take the kids to this one. A movie the whole family can and will enjoy. Won't get you laid on a date if she has about 6 kids tagging along...then of course with that many kids your not getting laid anyway.

Star Trek
A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew. Gone are the famous faces of the USS Enterprise, replaced with the younger, more relevent actors who will replace them.

As a huge Star Trek fan I'm very excited about this, on the other hand I'm also scared to death they will fuck this up big time. I suggest if your a fan of this Science Fiction Icon then take the chance and see what happens. If not then just wait for my next pick.

Transformers 2
The movie promises to be more battle intensive with the introduction of a few new Autobots and Decepticons. Rumor has it, the entire planet is under thread from Megatron and his evil crew, unless Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, can work together with the Autobots to prevent the Deceptacons from world domination. Megatron isn’t dead as it appears from the ending of the last movie. Megatron, the Decepticon leader. Killed and thrown into the Laurentian Abyss, is resurrected as a Cybertronian tank. Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime, who forms an alliance with international armies for a second epic battle.

Anyone who didn't go see the first Transformers movie in 2007 can now kick themselves square in the ass. This movie rocked and even though I didn't have much faith in Michael Bay, he surpised me on how well he did with the first one.
The second one should be an even bigger blockbuster and for anyone who ever loved the cartoon as I did, these movies are like living a dream come true.

G.I. JOE The Rise of Cobra
Set around ten years in the future, GI Joe is mainly about the rise of the Cobra Organization. The film focuses on Duke and Ripcord’s induction into the G.I. Joe Team and even Cobra Island.

Holy Shit, a G.I. Joe,Transformers and Star Trek movie all in one summer!!! I guess the end will truely come in 2012. But before that happens this is my final pick for must see Summer Blockbuster movies. This movie will be simply awesome. The trailer alone almost made me wet myself. You can't go wrong here. My advice is leave the girlfriend/wife at home and the guys that grew up with this stuff go together. Yeah it might look gay but dammit it's G.I. Joe...Now You Know.

Next week I will inform the masses of what will suck the very life out of you and your wallet.

Even though I was impressed by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA)'s recent co-sponsorship of the Fair Elections Now Act, the counteraction was swift, as now Specter has crapped all over the strong union backing that helped him just narrowly retain his seat in 2004 by announcing he would help block the Employee Free Choice Act.

Specter's abrupt 180-degree turn is supposed to strengthen his standing in the GOP as he faces a primary challenge next year, but I have a hard time seeing him keep his seat without the support of labor. Labor even told Specter they would back him if he voted for the bill. I'm not even particularly big on unions, but I support the right of workers to make up their own mind about unionizing, without the atypical management bullshit. And if the group most responsible for my political survival told me how important this was, the last thing I would do is think long and hard and then do the exact opposite. Not on an issue like this.

Specter has said he wants to remain a Republican to keep alive a moderate tradition that has historically been friendlier to labor, as reported by John Nichols in the latest issue of The Nation, and somehow, given the GOP line of logic lately, this seems to be right on track. Not questioning the sense of someone who wants to remain a member of a party lost in the woods and shrinking slowly but steadily, according to recent numbers from the Pew Research Center, but I am questioning the sense of someone who calls friendly ignoring the pleas of the children, tossing the bag of kittens into the river, and then inviting them out for ice cream.

So there I was, getting ready to go to sleep, when I saw it. It was four in the morning, I had already seen the Law & Order: Criminal Intent re-run on USA, so I was in the process of shutting off the light and the living room TV when an ad came on for one of the damnedest things I have ever seen.

In what may the most absolutely fucktarded new trend in home exercise, for the ridiculously low, how could you not buy two or three of these price of $19.95 (plus shipping and handling, natch), you could get your very own Cardio Jump system, complete with instructional workout DVD. And what exactly is a Cardio Jump, you ask? It is a pair of handles with weights on the end to simulate jumping rope? Yes, you read that correctly. Now for sale, the ropeless jump rope. Here I was, thinking it couldn't get anymore obnoxious than powerwalking.

As is traditional with stories like this, I will allow you at home reading this to facepalm momentarily before continuing. Some devious genius has found a way to sell half a jump rope for twenty bucks, while you can probably buy a real honest-to-God jump rope for a dollar or less. Why can't somebody just jump up and down and twirl their wrists like they are jumping rope? At least then they would simply look like a potential mental patient, not somebody who spent twenty dollars on this bullshit.

One of the commercials selling points is that people can use it where there normally isn't room, like in the living room or something similar. Great thinking there, genius. Now the people living in apartments everywhere can be slowly driven batshit crazy by the future piano crate funeral material attempting to shed off the morbid obesity by *shudder* jumping up and down. Bet the shattered ankle rate is going to triple in relation to the sales of this thing.

Hard not to think this is further proof we're all doomed. Personally, I thought the population of this planet mudball had reached the apex of laziness with the advent of watching poker on TV. Don't look at me like that. What does it, in fact, say about us when we don't want to go outside because we want to watch some people play cards. On TV. But this Cardio Jump thing? This enables laziness, because I would much rather watch TV than jump imaginary rope. More to the point, I would much rather watch TV than in all likelihood 99.98% of all that which can be imaginary.

Wonder what's on tonight after WWE Smackdown?

Saw this on Yardbarker.com's boxing channel today and cracked right the fuck up. The ring announcing's English, not entirely sure where the play-by-play was dubbed,  but they lay waste to the poor schmuck in the blue trunks, making his professional debut in this 4 round light-heavyweight bout. Too bad I can't understand what they are saying, outside of laughter, but it'd be nice to hear if they make any mention of the awesome mullet Joe Palooka brings to the ring.

I thought it had been too quiet lately. I mean, what had it been, a week or more since the gaping maw of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin had sounded out from the Yukon, or wherever it is she sleeps upside down while witch hunters pray around her in a drum circle. Don't get me wrong. If some freshman member of the Junior Douchebag League went on a tv talk show and talked about parking one of my daughters' heels on his shoulders, I'd be understandably pissed off, while waiting for the seven-day waiting period to pass down at the gun shop.

In an episode of Tyra Banks' so-called show, set to air today, Levi Johnston, perhaps the best known high school dropout in America thanks to his one-time relationship and child with Gov. Palin's daughter Bristol, dished it up about railing her while living in Palin's home. "I'm pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart," Johnston said during the interview. Fair enough. I'm sure most moms would know if their daughter is front loading her boyfriend, especially if they both live in the mom's home, but Sarah Palin and smart have never exactly been on cordial terms. I guess when it comes to abstinence, what happens in the Palin house stays in the Palin house, or at least until the baby bump's too hard to hide.

Not one prone to letting the other side have the last word, Palin fired up the family yeshole (powered via generator at the Palin's lakeside home) and released the following statement:

"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship. Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence. It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child. Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."

Uh...okay. Let's take a look at that. The Palins are disappointed that someone is engaging in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune. Would one not wonder, I wonder, if running for Vice-President of the United States would qualify as questing for fame and attention? Disappointed over the use of flat-out lies, gross exaggerations, and distortions? Lady, you're Sarah freakin' Palin. I know you try to read a lot, you made that much clear during your ill-fated bid to be John McCain's right-hand dingbat, but have you ever tried tallying up all the flat-out lies, gross exaggerations, and distortions you have dropped on the public like an overfull pidgeon in afternoon rush hour? Indeed, I thought not.

The statement concludes by informing all of us that Bristol is focusing on raising her kid, completing her education, and advocating abstinence (yeah, as big a hit as OJ Simpson, relationship coach), along with some hot mess yakkety yak about Johnston "exploiting his previous relationship" with Bristol, and how she has realized her mistake in her relationship, freakin' yawn. All I can say at this point is thank the heavens there was no sex tape. That we know of.
