Totally Kick Ass Briefs: Diesel

Another Super Hero Summer has been ushered in by the much anticipated release of The Avengers earlier this month; and the releases of The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man will be soon to follow. With that being said, I would like to point out that the Italian clothing line Diesel has also released a line of Super Hero Underwear.

I do not know exactly how long these briefs have been available, but I like the idea that you can never be too old to wear Super Hero Underwear. The line ranges from Kick-Ass type superheroes like "Iron Boy" to more notable superheros like Batman, Flash, and Green Lantern as well. In addition, as silly as it may sound, some of the briefs in this line have special features like "stealth armor" and "glow-in-the-dark". I have posted a link to the Diesel website if you are interested in finding out more about the Super Hero Briefs. I have also posted a link to the Fresh & Bright photo shoot on the Diesel Planet flickr page if you are interested in seeing more of the Kick-Ass models.

Battleship is About Aliens?

Battleship was released into theaters last week Friday, and even though NASA did not send me any specific signals for intelligent communication, I still decided to go see it. As you may already know, Brooklyn Decker plays one of the leading roles in the film, but the only flesh you should be expecting to see is that of an Alien. Contrary to some of her previous work, Brooklyn Decker somehow manages not to be over objectified in this movie. Instead, the film seems to focus on the man v.s. supernatural conflict and emotionally charged topics like military veterans and casualties of war. If you find any humor in the lengths to which a man will go to impress a woman, then you may find this movie to be romantic; otherwise it is mainly a science fiction movie about aliens.

Southwest Patty Melt

I don't know why I waited so long to begin with, but last week I finally decided to try the Southwest Patty Melt from Carl's Jr. This isn't the first time Carl's Jr. has offered a Jalapeno Burger on it's menu, but for some reason the Sourdough Bread makes it seem like more than just jalapenos on a burger; and it is. The Southwest Patty Melt also has pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, mayonase, and special flavored Santa Fe Sauce. I was surprised at how good it actually turned out to be; and as the video above suggests, it is definitely worth a try.

Can I Say Something? - Reebok Classics

There is a Reebok commercial on YouTube featuring Tyga and Mike Posner both explaining how much work it takes for them to make a "classic" record. It was interesting to hear their point of view on the subject but... Can I say Something?

I have owned a couple of pairs of Reebok Classics in the past; by personal choice and also by luck of the draw. If you too have owned a pair of Reebok Classics then you may be able to relate to what I am about to write. One funny thing that I have noticed about my last pair of Reebok Classics is that the leather they are made of is so soft, after about a month or so of regular use, they begin to look more like Adidas.

Have you ever had a pair of Reebok Classics begin to look like this after a while?

Tall, Blonde, and Available... in 3-D

If you have visited a Starbuck's Coffee Shop lately, you may have noticed that they now offer Blonde Coffee. They even have new "Blonde Coffee Mugs" to drink it in. The mugs sort of look like hard boiled eggs with a pinch of pepper sprinkled on; or sunny side up if that's what you prefer. In any case, I have taken a slight liking to the new mugs. You might even call it a crush. Furthermore, while admiring the new Blonde Coffee Mugs, I noticed that the design of the "City Lights" Starbuck's Card has somewhat of a three dimensional effect to it. I find that if you focus on the yellow lights on the card for a while, the rest of the design will pop out at you in layers. Well, I just thought this was too neat to go unmentioned. Before I go, I would also like to mention that you may be able to find Starbuck's "Peppermint Mocha" flavored ice cream at a grocery store near you, as it is currently available. If you are an ice cream fanatic, you might want to ASAP on that, as it is a "Limited Edition" flavor. Good Day.

Real Steel on Blu-Ray and DVD

Real Steel will be out on Blu-Ray and DVD this Tuesday, January 24. Since most of the fighting in this movie is done by robots, it seems less brutal to watch than other fighting movies; which is a good thing. I find that the life size robots used in this movie were meant to capture the imagination of viewers from all ages, which makes it fun to watch. Yes, this story does involve a typical underdog theme, but it is also about two people meeting each other for the first time. And last but not least, I must mention that Hugh Jackman does put his Hugh-ge Muscles out on display throughout the movie, and Evangeline Lily is a knockout. If these reasons alone aren't enough to spark your interests in seeing Real Steel, maybe the videos above will help to change your mind.

Real Steel will be available at Redbox, Blockbuster, and Amazon.

Wilde, Raunchy, and Romantic: The Change-Up on Blu-Ray and DVD

The Change-Up is a raunchy romantic comedy starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, and Ryan Reynolds. It has been available on Blu-Ray and DVD since early November of 2011. I am embarrassed to say that as silly and immature as this movie may seem, it still turned out to be pretty funny. Aside from the fact that Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds are cast as a pair of jokesters, this movie is still about a couple trying to make their relationship work. With that being said, I would like to emphasize that there is a fair amount of dirty humor tangled up with all of the romance. Thank heavens for Olivia Wilde, as she really did help to diffuse some of the raunchiness with her beauty. If you are a fan of Jason Bateman in Arrested Development or Ryan Reynolds in Van Wilder, then you may still enjoy this movie despite all of the dirty humor. Otherwise, you may just want to avoid it altogether.

If you are still interested in seeing The Change-Up after reading this review, it is available to rent at Redbox, Amazon, and Blockbuster.
