The trailer for the @JuddApatow Knocked Up sort-a-sequel isn't blowing my mind ...but the sentiment certainly has my attention.

Skate or die: Austyn Gilette

Another stylish skate movie - featuring Austyn Gilette in Quik, from the Eric Koston / Steve Berra entity The Berrics. 'Made possible' by Quiksilver.... whatever that means.

Skate or die: Omar Salazar

I tried to refrain from posting this double-barrelled culture co-opt video, with Nike and Levi's teaming up to take over skateboarding. But the film is so good it would be a shame not too. Not working for the man, just freelancing.

X-Men First Class

Decent enough reload for the series, though the groovy 60s setting is undermined by cheesy effects.
