Tired of bad shark-attack movies? How about watching a movie that makes fun of bad shark-attack movies? Then maybe it's time you watch Bad CGI Sharks. Bad CGI Sharks is, in fact, the Deadpool of movies like Sharknado, 2-Headed Shark Attack, and all those God damned Syfy, Asylum and low-rent movies that feature sharks as the bad guy, be they from the ocean, possessed by a demon, kicked out of a tornado, or explode from the snow. The brains behind Bad CGI Sharks -- Matthew and Jason Ellsworth, and Matteo Molinari -- clearly know the subgenera, and why it remains popular despite how much these movies suck. And they have a blast making fun of them. This movie is a labour of silly love, bad CGI sharks and all. But is there enough here to warrant a 90-minute movie? There wouldn't be -- and the jokes would quickly grow stale -- if the Ellsworths and Molinari didn't have something to say. Bad CGI Sharks is as much a commentary on low-budget filmmaking as it is on bad-shark ...

It's been five years since test footage for a Deadpool movie leaked online, a move that was met with such fan enthusiasm that 20th Century Fox went and greenlit an R-rated adaptation of the character. The rest, as they say, is history. Deadpool and Deadpool 2 were massive hits despite not being family friendly. This begs the question of what will happen to future Deadpool movies now that Fox is owned by Disney, which is all about family friendly.

There's been much speculation (not really) as to why Deadpool 2 was trimmed to a PG-13 rating and is about to be released on moviegoing audiences once more (next week, I think). Was it money? Disney acquiring 20th Century Fox and wanting to make the R-rated Marvel product more family friendly? Pure, outright greed? We here in The Basement could continue this debate (I think Howie and I discussed this a few weeks back), but why Wade (get it) in when we can let Wade Wilson and Fred Savage answer these, and other questions, for us (we're lazy)?

That's right, The Basement Boys actually ventured to the multiplex and took in a movie. Granted, they didn't go at exactly the same time, but they did go on the same day. And both are willing to pleasure your eye holes with written thoughts on Marvel's Deadpool. Does it live up to the hype and box-office dollars? Stick with us!

Deadpool is director Tim Miller’s first film and, if this flick is any indication, he is going to have a great career ahead of him. And I am guessing writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who partnered to bring us the awesome Zombieland, are fans of the Deadpool character because the writing brought to life the Deadpool I loved in the 2013 video game. Let’s be clear that this movie is for a certain audience and anyone seeking a family-friendly Disney-esque extravaganza is going to be needing medication by the end of the opening credits. This is a raunchy, rude and violent movie that clearly loves itself and doesn’t stop long enough to ask if you love it too. There are winks to the Marvel franchise, insider jokes, and more one liners than a night out with Mitch Hedberg. All of it inappropriate and, so long as you keep your thinking cap at home, it is hilarious. This is what low-brow looks like when done right.

Yup, you read that right. The Merc with a Mouth, AKA Deadpool, wants men to touch their balls. I mean, really get in there. But it's all for a good cause. Because the manner of ball touching Deadpool talks about in the very clever PSA below is in the name of preventing testicular cancer.

Not my most inspired headline ever, but it's the day after Christmas and I'm a bit bleary eyed and hungover on turkey, booze and other good cheer. But I just had to share this latest trailer for the upcoming Deadpool movie. And here it is:

Never say never again, never. This is the lesson Jason and Shawn have learned and learned again as The Basement returns for a third time. And the third time is the charm as The Basement Boys unleash a new podcast with a shiny new format. How new? For one, gone are the movie reviews that made Jason and Shawn popular in the first place. In fact, a good portion of this show is spent slagging film critics of the mainstream and Internet variety. Ballsy or stupid? Stick with us!
