He really is a bad ass mofo.

Samuel L. Jackson has inked a deal to play superspy Nick Fury in an unprecedented nine-movie deal with Marvel!

That is big time, big time.

Jackson made a cameo appearance at the end of 2008’s Iron Man and quickly confirmed his appearance in the movie’s upcoming sequel, but negotiations broke down when Marvel reportedly didn’t want to meet his quote.

We guess greed really is good; this deal will be putting his great-great-great-grandkids through college. Sam Jackson is PAID!

Jackson’s nine-picture deal includes appearances in Iron Man 2, Captain America, The Avengers, their subsequent sequels and possibly the lead in a S.H.I.E.L.D movie, the fictional espionage agency Nick Fury is the head of.

Cha-ching.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
