Crank 2, Olivia Munn, and Young Avengers

Crank 2 Details - The sequel of Crank is going forward with Jason Statham returning (despite apparently falling 50 stories in the first film). The first film was a fun non stop action film about a man that needed adrenaline to stay alive but fortunately in his quest for a kill people were trying to kill him anyway so got the constant feed he needed (including nailing the lovely Amy Smart). In the sequel, a mobster replaces his heart with a failing artificial one (who knows why) that needs burst of electricity to continue to function, so he has to get it back before the fake fails. Sounds like a winner to me.

Olivia Munn In Modern Day Jesus - The Munn plays Mary Magdalene for a webisode of Modern Day Jesus. The video is silly but the Munn is hot and briefly seen in a bra.


Trailer for Next Avengers - Marvel has released a teaser trailer for their next direct to video cartoon movie called Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow. The teaser sets up the initial concept of the Avengers hooking up and producing offspring before falling to Ultron. The next generation probably takes on the despot, finds their parents and frees the world. It looks a little too kiddy for my taste. Can't help but wonder if the movie isn't a pilot for a potential Saturday morning series.
