Your <em>Expendables 2</em> Power Rankings
The Expendables 2 has 11 names on its poster only because there is not room, either in poster space or running time, for 47. It is New Years Eve with testicles. It is the turducken of action movies.

The preseason Jets-Bengals game was on in the bar Friday night, and while the endless five-yard outs thrown by the dynamic Jets offense made it feel as if we could have been watching anytime, there was one new glaring difference: the Nike logos on the uniform sleeves.
