We shouldn't really be surprised by this, given that it's Joss Whedon we're dealing with, but it looks like that when it comes to "The Avengers" it seems like there's no end to the awesomeness in sight. Whedon delivered a kick-ass five-star blockbuster to an international crowd, and stepped things up a notch further by adding a second post-credits sting to the version that played to North American audiences this weekend. $200 million record breaking dollars later and he's still not done, with Whedon dropping some hints to Collider about what may turn up on ...

Could this mark the final stage of a comeback for James Van Der Beek? The "Dawson's Creek" star hasn't quite matched the post-show success of Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson or even Katie Holmes, but 2012 seems to be a bit of a turning point. He's a regular on the new ABC series "Don't Trust The B---- In Apt. 23" and despite roles in a string of less than notable movies over the past few years (and that's not counting his infamous deleted scenes from Todd Solodnz's "Storytelling"), he's now notched a role that ...

'Moneyball' (UK DVD Release: 16 April '12) // Words: Saam Das Glorified accounting. That's basically the premise behind Michael Lewis 's 2003 book 'Moneyball' on the use of baseball statistics, which has spawned a Hollywood adaptation. And yet, 'Moneyball' has proved successful both commercially and critically, garnering an impressive six Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture. 'The Social Network' had similarly inauspicious beginnings before translating into one of the finest films of any year, let alone 2010. Perhaps it isn't surprising that Aaron Sorkin , the screenwriter for 'The Social Network' , also had a hand in 'Moneyball' - building on an ...

Washington DC art-rockers Deleted Scenes has teamed up with Park The Van Records for the release of their genre-tweaking, sophomore full-length, 'Young People's Church of the Air', that will include special bonus tracks and remixes. After years of doing it themselves, bassist Matt Dowling says, "the band now has the space to focus primarily on its artistic activities." He adds, "we realized that [although] everything is out of our hands, we're now in more capable hands" (Washington City Paper).

Essentially the anti-Apatow, director David Gordon Green has found a habit in obtaining the leanest running times possible for his films, and with his 81 minute 2011 film “The Sitter” (squaring off against “Carnage” as one of the shortest of last year) arriving on Blu-Ray today, two deleted scenes are available to watch now. Green has spoken before regarding the surfeit of quality deleted material from “The Sitter,” and while the results are hardly the discovery of a four-hour cut of “The Tree of Life,” the presence of Sam Rockwell makes them worth a look all the same. Rockwell features ...

One of the biggest compliments you can pay a movie like the new Jonah Hill/Channing Tatum vehicle "21 Jump Street" -- based on an old television property and seemingly hatched inside a coldly cynical meeting between studio chiefs and big-name action producers (in this case "Fast and Furious" overseer Neal H. Moritz) -- is what a huge surprise it is. If you had told us a few weeks ago that we would be staggering out of the theater, our sides aching from laughing too hard and our heads spinning from what a smart, fun and earnest movie it was, we wouldn ...

Starting tomorrow there will be a Theme Week on Metal Bastard! Every day next week will feature a particular band that I grew up listening to and which had an enormous impact on my interest in music ever since. If you want a hint, they were a part of my Top 30 Album of the 90s list. Some of you will dig it, others won't give a shit. When I say "every day", I mean every day except Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesday you'll get Trippy Shit Tuesday as usual (as well as a likkle supm spum because ...

Deleted Scenes dropped by the Rickshaw Stop, sharing the stage with A Lull and Ravenna Wood. Although the woeful 49ers loss may have kept a few extra people from braving the fifth stormy night in as many days, the group played a motivated and energetic set, much to the pleasure of the attending patrons. Fresh off of their September [...]
