Yes that’s right, the end of the year is upon us.  Starting next week we’ll take a look back at the year that was 2007.  We’ll examine the best of the best and the worst of the worst.  To kick things off we’ll start with our Third Annual Razorblade Awards for the most memorable (and truly awful) performances and moments in film we were subjected to this past year.  The Razorblade recognizes the only thing which could stop this awfulness – letting audiences slit their wrists.  Previous winners includ Paul Walker, The Dukes of Hazard, A Sound of Thunder, Tideland, Hilary and Haylie Duff, and Underworld Evolution.  (check out the 2005 and 2006 winners).

As for this year’s winners go ahead and take a peek in the Full Diagnosis, you know you want to.

From time to time we give you the heads up on some serious nerd merchandise, and Holy Moley do we have something for you today!  DC Direct is shooting out a ton of new Shazam! related toys hitting comic shops as we speak.  The new action figures include a new Captain Marvel, Billy Batson, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, Dr. Sivana (with Mr. Mind), and two different Mary Marvel figures (personally I like the white variant version taken from Formerly Known as the Justice League).  The figures range in size from 6.75” (Big Red Cheese) to 6.15” (Billy).  All should be available now, or real soon, from your local comic book shops.  Larger pics of each figure inside the Full Diagnosis.

Okay, my resistance to getting a Nintendo Wii has been slowly dissolving for months, and announcements like this aren’t helping.  With “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” (oh baby!) being released on the Wii next Spring somebody thought up the idea to make this handy dandy accessory.  The Light Sword (HELL YEAH!!!!) runs on three AA batteries and has the ability to light up and down with a click of a button.  The Wii-mote simply slides right into the handle giving you the opportunity to slash off limbs just like a Jedi!  The product is set to be released at the end of the month for about $31 and is available to pre-order on various sites online including Play.com.  Larger pic available inside the Full Diagnosis.
