Kent and Michelle survive Friday the 13th with only a minor fender bender, still fully able to review Season Four of Meerkat Manor, pondering Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeek-quel, 140 mins worth of Transformers 2, Matrix-ing a reboot of the Superman franchise, Flick-Swapping The Secret Life of Bees, and a call for your post-Oscars commentary. Enjoy!

Join Dave, Erich, and Mac as they kill 45 minutes worth of brain cells.

Dave and Mac return to the island of Lost and find themselves understandably confused. Dr. House becomes a "super-jackass." Battlestar Galactica barrels towards mutiny, as Adama pounds the Viagra. A preview of Liam Neeson in Taken, a film that played Europe and Asia more than a year ago. Mac teases his DVD review for City of Ember. Dave digs the slick thriller known as Amusement. The premiere DVD release for February is Krav Maga: Personal Protection. Bad guys love to ski. Favorite Emilio Estevez performances. Films and TV shows even better when transplanted into space. The best of Man vs. Beast.
