Michael Bay is not a liked man amongst people who like movies. I like movies and I don’t hate Michael Bay! Actually I like his movies quite a bit. Call them what you will, popcorn flicks, mindless entertainment, whatever, I don’t really respect those terms, I just like movies that are fun to watch so here are five pretty damned fun movies that are directed by Michael Bay.

Chocolate is pretty good. Valentine’s Day is coming up but people don’t really buy their lovers chocolate bars for Valentine’s Day but if they did, here are some decent chocolate bars! I’m not really a crazy consumer of chocolate bars but I do like a few. I’m not some snob that’s going to suggest some crazy import fancy bars that you’ve never heard of. In fact you’d be hard pressed to find a gas station that didn’t have most of these around here. So here are my top 5 favourite chocolate bars. What are yours?

Entertainment weekly gives us a first look at the poster for The Wizards Return, the new Wizards of Waverly Place TV special. E! Online also has an image of Selena Gomez decked out in leather as Alex Russo.

The premise of the special has Alex vs. Alex as good and evil Alex square off against each other. Evil Alex with a white streak in her hair is consistent with how Alex looked when she turned evil in the “Saving WizTech” two parter from season two. In the background of the poster is the leaning tower of Pisa, which is where the battle in the film is meant to take place.

2012 is now behind us. The year came with it’s share of decent movies. I made a pact with some friends to catch most of the summer movies and aside from that crappy Spider-Man flick I can honestly say I had a good time at all of them. So here’s a look at my top 5 personal favourites of the year. I’m sure to miss some of your favourites so feel free to let me know why I’m wrong in the comments!

I already discussed my favourites of 2012 on this week’s Powetcast. I took a little more time to look over the year’s movies before putting together my final list. I also made sure I saw the Hobbit before I wrote this article, though you will notice that I found it undeserving of being included.

A new free game will be released by Capcom next Monday which will combine their two greatest franchises. Street Fighter X Mega Man uses Mega Man style game play and graphics but pits him against the World Warriors from the Street Fighter franchise! A trailer, included later in this post, as well as this blog post with details teases us with quite a bit of information.

It would appear this game was largely developed by a fan Seow Zong Hui with the music done by A_Rival. While the blog post and video mention it will be available on PC on December 17th it’s not clear if this is in reference simply to “Personal computer”, what PC really means, or the layman’s term used to mean “Not a Mac” or more accurately (as if layman’s terms are accurate) “Windows”.

Keep reading for the trailer and more screenshots.
