Valentine's Day is tomorrow, or if you're single, it's more likely you'll be celebrating Single Awareness Day. Wooo solitude! Eat all the of the chocolate by yourself! Play all of the single player vidya games! Watch all the movies alone! But you don't want to watch no sappy movies about love and romance and everything that reminds you of your perpetual singlearity, you want loner moviesabout badass singles! So here's my comprensive list(aka a bunch of movies I thought of off the top of my head) of 7 movies that are all about badass loners, being alone, and only trusting yourself! Enjoy!

Good-bye DC Nation and why we freak out
Those of you keeping track in geek culture have heard that Cartoon Network has chosen not to renew Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, and some of you may be wondering why so many of us fervent nerds are cussin' out CN and writhing in agony and screaming towards the heavens and all that. Afterall, they're just some dumb cartoons.

Quick Review: Gangster Squad
Get out your Tommy Guns, we're quickly reviewing Gangster Squad! Mickey Cohen(Sean Penn) comes to take over LA, but the police chief(Nick Nolte) is having none of it. He gets Sgt. O'Mara(Josh Brolin) to form a team to tear down the gangsters' business!
I really enjoyed Gangster Squad, but there's not much to talk about. There's some brutal action here and there, but mostly it's just guys shooting at other guys. And the plot is pretty by the numbers, but it's still fun, funny and overall enjoyable. Maybe if it wasn't so transparently by-the-numbers and if they had kept up with the brutal stylized action they set up in the beginning(it's no worse than a good episode of Boardwalk Empire) it would have been a fantastic movie instead of just a great one. But as it stands, it's a mix of some pretty good performances, great period piece work, enjoyable action, funny sharp dialogue, a nice classy soundtrack, and an overall pretty fun movie. $$$$ Go see it! Especially if you like noir and gangster flicks.
