Back-to-Back Stallone & Schwarzenegger Trailers

Two of my all-time favorite action stars are back in a big way starting with Expendables 2, which I'm planning to see this weekend, and two upcoming sure-fire blockbusters: Stallone's Bullet to the Head and Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand.

Check out the action-packed trailers below:

Want to assemble a 1:1 1959 Aston Martin model car?

At first I thought it was a typo but it was indeed a 1:1 1959 Aston Martin model car. Imagine assembling this. And imagine also the price of this...

From uncrate.com:

Included in this insane kit are four Aston Martin wire wheels with Dunlop race tires, a "Mota Lita" 15" wood-rimmed Aston Martin steering wheel, a pair of race seats, an aluminum gear knob and lever, a full dashboard, a replica of the LeMans trophy, and an Aston Martin cap signed by Roy Salvadori and Carroll Shelby, who drove the original to victory at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Joss Whedon is confirmed for Avengers 2

Finally, all of geekdom can now collectively breathe a sigh of relief as Joss Whedon is finally confirmed to write and direct Avengers 2.  The only problem... 2015 is still too far away!  But at least we know that our favorite Avengers are in good hands.

I'm back!

I've been gone for a long time since I got so busy with my new work and I've concentrated my efforts on my photoblog, http://pixntoys.blogspot.com (shameless plug!).  But I'm now back and I would just like to say what a wonderful year 2012 has been for us geeks! Two of the biggest comic book movies came out this summer: The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises. I love both movies even though I find The Dark Knight Rises a bit lacking. I think it is just that hard to top the comic book movie perfection that is The Dark Knight. And as much as Bane was great in TDKR, nothing would beat Heath Ledger's Academy-award winning turn as The Joker.

We geeks still have movies to look forward to: The Bourne Legacy (some scenes were shot in the Philippines, my home country), Dredd (hopefully they get it this time around) and Resident Evil: Retribution (I love all RE movies!).

That's it for now and it's time to be geeked out again!
