With the untimely death of Bruce Lee in 1973, a massive void was left in the martial arts/action film world. And monkey-flipping his way right into that void was Jackie Chan – an actor with explosive kung-fu skills like Lee, but with 1978’s Snake In The Eagle’s Shadow, also showing off the type of big-screen comic sensibilities last displayed by Buster Keaton. …

It’s been all quiet on the Highlander reboot front for a while now. At last word, about 9 months ago, Fast Five director Justin Lin shuffled from the director’s to the producer’s chair, with 28 Weeks Later helmsman, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, musical-chairing his way into the now-vacant seat. And now according to Variety, Fresnadillo may possibly have found his Connor Macleod …

It’s been a rollercoaster ride in the development cycle of the second Sin City film, but it seems that Robert Rodriguez and creator Frank Miller are finally ready to wow the world once again with some doses of stylised ultra-violence and cheesy dialogue. Jessica Alba looks likely to return, as do several other big names, but what about the real …

The actor who always seems to be caught in the midst of a perpetual death cycle and wintery memes is back, this time with a more modern day story wherein he’ll be tackling the might of Hitler and his Captain Aryan project, in the upcoming horror-action flick, The Fourth Reich.

Ridley Scott’s return to science-fiction with Prometheus may be all the rage currently, but it’s his “other return to science fiction” that may end up eclipsing even that. Up until now we haven’t really known much about the proposed 2nd Blade Runner film, except that we felt like kicking puppies when we first heard that another one was being made, …

In all of movie history, no man has been able to master the art of the one-liner, like Arnold Schwarzenegger has. Before he became the Governator, the man was a lean mean, pithy line spewing machine. Sean Connery, Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis combined have nothing on the amount of lines that Arnie delivered to his defeated foes over the …

Bradley Cooper’s latest film, The Words, has a trailer online. Except it’s apparently not a very good one. The film recently showed at Sundance where most people who got to see it, really enjoyed it. And judging by a quick glance online, most of them agree that this trailer really doesn’t do the film justice by making it come off …

This weekend you totally have to watch…. The Avengers. Again. Yup, it’s a bit of a dud week at South African cinemas with only 3 new films opening locally. And none of them are exactly major drawcards. So, treat the next 7 days as a chance for an older release catch-up, or an opportunity to regain your breath before the seasonal …

With all the massive genre films being released this year, you could easily forget that James Bond’s 25th adventure is just 6 months away. You can forget, I mean, but not me. No, I am a devout 007 fanboy. So you can imagine my joyful surprise (there may have been a yelp or two. I apologize) to discover this morning that …

While Liam Neeson had certainly done action-type roles before (Darkman, anybody?), it will always be 2009’s Taken that will be seen as the start of his “Badass My Way Around The World” tour, which eventually culminated in him getting into a fistfight with a few Arctic wolves not too long ago. But now Neeson will be returning to the role …
