I’m pretty grateful for The Expendables 2 arriving last year. Because if anything, it’s taught me that Jean Claude Van Damme should have broken out of his good guy role movies years ago. We’ve already got one film starring the Bloodsport legend that happens to be a departure from his usual fare, in which he stretches his comedy chops …

The early buzz for director Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street says we have another major awards contender here. This nearly wasn’t the case though, as Scorsese recently faced the choice to either keep tinkering with the film, and not have it ready in time for awards contention, or just cut his losses – and some of the film – …

  As long as Stephen King is cranking out books and avoiding cars, Hollywood will be adapting them. The most recent example of that being Under the Dome, which got a TV series this year.

Well, while it is still speculation, it seems like Hollywood might save some money on hairdressers as our favourite dome-head Vin seems …

No, you don’t have deja vu. This is not just a glitch in the Matrix. While we already showed you the current box office leaders yesterday, and will continue to do so every week, that is only for the all-important (so they keep claiming) US domestic market. But what about closer to home? Who is ruling the local cinema roost? …

If there’s one actor who should be directing more movies than starring in them, it’s Ben Stiller. The man may have carved a role out in Hollywood as the go-to funny guy, but he damn sure knows how to make a movie when given a chance.
