District B13 remake Brick Mansions actually looks good!?!

Yeah, I said the District B13 remake Brick Mansions actually looks good. That's not saying the final product will be, but this trailer shows some potential. It doesn't hurt that District B13 star Davide Belle is in it, essentially playing the same character he played in the original. The late Paul Walker takes over for Cyril Raffaelli .

Jason and Shawn versus Smiley and The Man with the Iron Fists

Smiley Jason: Your enjoyment of Smiley will hinge 100 per cent on what you think of the last five minutes.

First on the chopping block tonight is Smiley, a psychological slasher film directed by Michael Gallagher. What's it about? After discovering an urban legend of a demented serial killer , who has nothing but a carved 'smiley' on his face, a mentally fragile teen must decide whether she is going insane -- or will be the next victim. Cue creepy music. Then Jason and Shawn take on the RZA in the martial arts flick The Man with the Iron Fists . On the hunt for a fabled treasure of gold, a band of warriors, assassins, and a rogue British soldier descend upon a village in feudal China , where a humble blacksmith looks to defend himself and his fellow villagers. RZA plays the humble blacksmith and he directs. The man has more than just iron fists, I'd say. Plus, Mike S returns for a rant, there's the latest movie...
