Let's see what I saw this week for Weekend Wrental Wreviews in my 16th WWW: 1) Formula 51 : This was no Guy Ritchie film, but it had a lot of the same sensibilities. After a badly shot introduction in which we're supposed to believe Samuel L. Jackson is playing his character 30 years ago in the ‘70s, we jump ahead to the future, where he's now making a living designing illegal drugs after his...
Ever wonder what happened to Buffy and Angel's hottest brunette; 'Cordelia' aka Charisma Carpenter? I did until now... Even though I've not seen her in anything since the last episode of Angel back in 2004 it seems the little lady has been quite the busy bunny. Not only has she appeared in shows like Charmed, Veronica Mars, CSI and Greek (none of which I watch, hence why I haven't seen her since 2004!)...

The Gramercy Park Hotel’s Rose Bar was the place to be Saturday night…especially for camera shy celebs thanks to host Nur Khan’s Heroes & Villans party. The doorman who donned an All-Access costume was anything but while keeping a close reign on his clipboard. Hugh Grant, Sienna Miller, and Kirsten Dunst all popped by–and magically bypassed the paparrazzi–while Jason...

by Kevin Blackistone Filed under: NFL Sylvester Stallone has Hollywood all a twitter (the old school use of the word) right now over an action flick he is producing called The Expendables . Reason is, it stars a bunch of guys' guys including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Julia Roberts' brother Eric and Mickey Rourke, who back in the day I thought Bruce Willis was a cheap imitation of. The movie is about...
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we couldn’t be more pumped for Sylvester Stallone’s all-star action extravaganza, The Expendables. If you’ve been tracking this pecs-pumping, pyrotechnics-palooza with us, then you’re already hip to the summer 2010 film’s hulking, Who’s Who he-man cast (Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren,...

Guy Ritchie and producer Joel Silver are planning to bring DC Comics' pale-skinned, killcrazy alien LOBO to big screens... but how? According to Mania, they're still trying to figure that out. Would it be someone with experience and a physique, such as Dwayne Johnson, Ritchie regular Jason Statham or his ROCKnROLLA star Gerard Butler? Will they go the all-CG performance-capture Gollum-style route?...
Recommended The Film: Some films exist as little more than excuses to do things as simple as blow things up, show hot women in various stages of undress, or subject the audience to a mindless barrage of action sequences that defy the laws of nature and logic. Jason Statham has made a career out of films like this, and when done right, there's nothing wrong with these movies--at least not in the sense...

Sure this thing probably isn’t going to be winning any Oscars but if you’re going to pack Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Steve Austin and Dolph Lundgren into a single movie, chances are I’ll see it. I mean cheesy Stallone one-liners and a shit-ton of explosions, what more do you need? via Trailer [...] “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” Review Tropic...
Ooh, Jason Statham ... yes yes yes I said yes... But I do love Suetonius, too. You want delicious gossip and dirt disguised as serious history, ol' Suey's your man.
Ozzy Osbourne, Jason Statham, and JK Rowling walk into a bar… Sounds like the opening to a bad joke, but it could also be an excerpt from an early draft of The Order of Dagonet, a high-concept indy comic in which fictionalized cyphers for the famous rocker, action hero, and storyteller above are summoned together by Merlin [...]
