10 Best Things of July 2011

This month kinda sucked hard. Government fights, one of my favorite stores is closing, a tragic singer dies. Yeah...



1. CM Punk's Reign of Terror

From his controversial speech to his epic win at Money in the Bank to his Comic-Con visit, CM Punk ruled the internet and the world of pro wrestling.


2. The Tree of Life

A highly debatable movie that will either blow your mind or your gasket.


3. Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson

A sad state of affairs for Fedor but he had a great fight, along with the excellent Miesha Tate-Marloes Coenen battle and the exciting undercard.


4. The Cinema Snob's Midnight Screenings

I have been a big fan of Brad Jones's internet shows but his most recent idea has been great. He and several of his friends reviewed all of the midnight showings of the new summer releases. This month's reviews of The Zookeeper and The Smurfs produced blunt, hilarious results.


5. The Making of an Angry Video Game Nerd Episode

James Rolfe finally does a behind the scenes look at the production of his popular web series.


6. American Ninja Movie Marathon

Obscurus Lupa went patriotic with her reviews of all of the American Ninja films, with or without the charisma of Michael Dudikoff.


7. Sean Bean Death Reel

Shortly after the infruiating Emmy snubs, Harry Hanrahan created another great mashup video that combines two great things this year, Sean Bean's acting and the infamous Dead Island theme, into one gloriously depressing yet still kinda funny collection of death scenes.


8. Two Best Friends Play, "Man vs. Wild"

The guys at TheSw1tcher ended their season of their popular Machinima series with a hilarious take on a cash-in game.


9. Thundercats Reboot premieres

Coming in at the last minute. Surprisingly great re-imagining that blows the original away thanks to LOTR influences and superior animation.


10. Rifftrax turns 5

So does this compilation video prove that corn is grass? Congrads to Mike, Kevin, and Bill for the many great years.
