Explosions. Babes. Guns. Beer. The staples of testosterone-fueled guy movies seem to be popping up a lot more often than usual lately...

On that note, here's a look back at the many dude-oriented flicks released in the last two years, and a rating for their level of, um, machismo-osity? (Note: On this scale, a high rating does not necessarily indicate high quality.) —Matt Pais, Metromix
