The Expendables 3???

  
   In 2010 we finally got to see a movie where a large number of action hero’s make a movie together. It was called “The Expendables” and it featured big name action heroes such as Sylvester Stallone (“Rambo”), Jet Li (“Fearless”) and Bruce Willis (“Die Hard”). Now with a second installment cooling down after being released on DVD imdb.com has announced there is going to be a third installment coming soon.
   According to boxoffice.com, both movies earned a little over 28 million dollars for their opening weekends. But we as action fans have to wonder, who is left for a third installment of “The Expendables?” Some fans have already made YouTube videos voicing their opinions who should star in the upcoming film from Steven Segal, (“Above the Law”), Donnie Yen, (“Flashpoint”) and even Kurt Russell, (“Escape from LA”). All great suggestions but it’s going to be hard after the last one featured Jean-Claude Van Damme (“Universal Soldier”) as the villian and even brought in Chuck Norris (“Walker Texas Ranger”) back into the spot light.
   Stallone on Twitter has already announced that Wesley Snipes (“Blade”) will be featured in the next installment of the series. Snipes, you may recall, had recently been released from jail after he failed to pay his 2010 taxes after filming his movie, “Game of Death”. He will be serving the rest of his sentence at home until July 19. The last time we saw these two stars together was back in 1993 when they battled  in “Demolition Man”. The ironic thing about casting Snipes was him agreeing to be in the film was announced on Tax Day. This was reported byYahoo Movies and imdb.com.
   So far there is no word if all the original cast will return for a third installment from Dolph Lundgren (Rocky IV) to even Terry Crews ("White Chicks").
   There is also a rumor floating around the web that Mel Gibson (“Braveheart”) will direct this new film, but it’s unclear at this time. The first film was directed by Stallone and the second by Simon West (“Con Air”). So if Gibson directs this next installment will he be able to top the first two?
   Another diretor and even may a cast member they are looking at for this is the crazy old man himself, Clint Eastwood ("Gran Torino") According to Clevver Movies on YouTube Eastwood stated that being in the film is not a role he would take however he may direct it if approached with a script.

The Equalizer! Denzel at his Best!

Image
   It’s been awhile since we’ve have seen Denzel Washington in a movie since he stared in “ 2 Guns ” with co star MarkWalburg . " The Equalizer " is by far his best work in the action movie genre.    Based on the 80’s TV show “ The Equalizer ” starring Edward Woodward , the Equalizer at the beginning of the film seems like your normal everyday person. 9 to 5 job, friendly, and you would never expect of what kind of dark past he had. Once Washington’s character befriended a girl named Terri (“ Chole Grace Motez ”) who was under the control of some ultra violent Russian gangsters who almost kill her. Washington decides to take matters into his own hands and the life he thought he left behind will have to be his greatest weapon against the Russians.   Watching this whole movie the story felt very dark and mysterious. As the story unfolds and Washington starts taking out bad guys with ease, you find yourself trying to figure out what the Equalizer’s back story is.  How

Olympus Has Fallen

  Ok action fan for this post I want to talk about an action movie that I saw over the weekend that’s been out for a little over a month. The movie I’m talking about is called “Olympus Has Fallen” featuring King Leonidas himself, Gerard Butler  (“ 300 ”). The film is directed by Antoine Fuqua, (“ Training Day ”). Photo: roflrazzi.cheezburger.com    Granted it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Butler as an action hero on the big screen. The last time we saw him in this kind of role was in 2009’s “ Gamer .”   “Olympus Has Fallen” has proven that Butler still has what takes to be a great action star and not be in another chick flick like “ The Bounty Hunter .”    The White House, dubbed Olympus by the Secret Service, is taken over by a Korean terrorist (kind of ironic with what’s going on today) and his men for America’s wrong doing in their country. They also hold the president hostage with a number of the White House staff. The terrorists hold off the police and army as t

Legend of Hercules

Photo By: movpins.com As fan of ScottAdkins (“ Expendables 2 ”) who portrayed the bad guy in the recently release of “ The Legend of Hercules ”, I went into watching this film hoping to get the feel of that Adkins’ villainy like he has done in his previous movies.  Adkins proved once again that he still can play a good villain and does great action fight scenes.    This movie has its origins in the story of the Greek demigod hero, Hercules, played by Kellan Lutz (“ Twilight ”), who is betrayed by his step-father King Amphitryon (Adkins) who tried to have him killed by sending him off to war because of his forbidden love with a rival kingdoms princess. Hercules survives and is sold into slavery.   Now Hercules must fight to survive and find his way to back to his love and save his kingdom from Amphitryon.       As I did research on this movie to provide my readers an accurate movie review blog, I noticed other reviews on this movie so as movie fan I read them. Some reviewers
