There are a ton of films out there that end up broken because of their goofiness. Thor is one of the few that manages to embrace it's comic book roots with arms open and throws a metaphorical hammer into the face of detractors, proudly proclaiming 'yeah I'm a comic book, suck it.'
The image of an insane and 'sort of' naked Anthony Hopkins smiling and punching a small kid in the face will haunt me for years to come. The Rite is a muddled, disturbing, well acted, mess of a movie that somehow manages to work despite itself.

This week's installment of Mortal Kombat: Legacy concludes the two-part Kitana & Mileena chapter and manages to leave us on a higher note than last week's Part 1 introduction.
The Lonely Island's follow up to Incredibad is not only hilarious it's actually a better music album than it's groundbreaking predecessor.
