Review: MECHANIC: RESURRECTION Primes With Experient Action Stardom Far From Fading
Jason Statham has a checkered past when it comes to action movies. This is a man who has subjected himself to the direction – if we can call it that- of the infamous Uwe Boll (In The Name of The King: A Story With An Already Ridiculous Enough Title That It Didn’t Need A Subtitle to Make it Worse), confused the shit out of us as Jake Green in 2005’s Revolver, and still found time in his schedule to make basketball interesting again in 2010 with The Expendables. From the cartoonishness of his survival spree as Chev Chelios in the Crank series to his Bond-on-wheels turn as The Transporter, I would argue in gest that said past and all its turbulent splendor has contributed significantly to the cultivation of that bitchin’ perpetual scowl Statham sports. But I fear he wouldn’t appreciate the joke and thus proceed to openly diss superhero […]
MECHANIC: RESURRECTION Delivers An International Trailer For Japan's Release
Director Dennis Gansel’s forthcoming sequel, Mechanic: Resurrection, has been a little light in its marketing since debuting an official trailer a few months ago. Some promotional spots are online as well but there’s not a lot of noise, although I do know that there have been a few early screenings and the mood I’m getting is for that of what sounds like an imperfect, albeit kick-ass thrillride to enjoy when it hits theaters. All in all, fans of action star, actor Jason Statham may have something worthwhile awaiting them this summer with a story that follows up Simon West’s efforts back in 2011 remaking the Charles Bronson action classic. Actresses Jessica Alba and Michelle Yeoh, and actor Tommy Lee Jones are also in the midst and with an August 26 U.S. release not too far off, we now have an international trailer with extra doses of new footage in which […]

Take Aim At The Latest International Poster For MECHANIC: RESURRECTION
Action star Jason Statham’s career has seen its share of highs and lows outside of being an Expendable. Films like Parker and Wild Card have been a less-receiving, yet notable examples shedding light on questions regarding whether or not he can sustain his starpower, whilst his biggest success to date has been a Transporter between 2002 and 2008. This year, that same question gets the sequel nod with director Dennis Gansel’s forthcoming title, Mechanic: Resurrection following Simon West’s 2011 remake of Michael Winner’s 1972 Charles Bronson headliner. The new movie continues the story of master assassin Arthur Bishop, who, having thought to have moved on with his new life, is now forced to take out a list of the world’s most dangerous men in order to rescue the woman he loves from captivity.

Actress Halee Steinfeld as a highly trained assassin looking for an out and finds her way into high school in search of a life she’s been missing, only to see her past come back in a deadly way?

The Sexy New Red-Band Trailer For SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Cuts Straight To The Chase!
The new trailer for Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For, may very well be the sexiest trailer I have ever seen for any action movie as of late. Ever. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and original graphic novel author Frank Miller, the film made a splash at San Diego Comic-Con over the weekend promoting the sequel to 2005’s Sin City, and this week, the official SDCC red-band trailer has now gone viral. To be honest though, I don’t even need to say much beyond this point. The trailer pretty much sells itself, and yes, it’s quite sexy, in almost every way imaginable. SYNOPSIS: In the dark alleys of Sin City, Dwight (Josh Brolin taking over from Clive Owen) seeks revenge against the woman who betrayed him, femme fatale Ava Lord (Eva Green). Meanwhile, Nancy (Jessica Alba) is trying to cope with the death of her protector, Detective Hartigan (Bruce […]
The New Trailer For SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR Is Here!
The promotional campaign for the latest noir action crime follow-up from co-directors Robert Rodriguez and graphic novelist Frank Miller, Sin City: A Dame To Kill For, had a small share of mild controversy in the past few weeks due to the MPAA’s banned poster with actress Eva Green’s right boob; A non-issue if you ask me. I dig the poster, and I’m hard-pressed to believe I’m alone in its approval. At any rate, the film is poised to release nationwide on August 22. I still need to see the first film so I can have a viable opinion. And this is my niche too, so… yeah. *Sigh* …Life gets in the way of living. (borrowing that one from Darren actually, lol.) Check out the trailer below and feel free to take a gander at the latest Reddit AMA Miller himself hosted on Wednesday! SYNOPSIS: Co-directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller reunite to […]
Casting Updates For "All-Girl Expendables' Film And Teenage Assassin Film, BARELY LETHAL
A few women are making headlines this week in casting news. This, in a year that continues to see a significant presence of females in action cinema, including the fourthcoming release of underground action horror flick, Raze, the Helfi Kardit-directed action thriller, Guardian, and actress Julie Estelle who’s introduction to Gareth Huw Evans’ s upcoming action sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal, which remains to be one of the most hotly-anticipated roles of the coming year. Last week, actress Sharni Vinson expressed her thoughts and hopes of doing more action roles in an interview with Flicks And The City, with roles like Lara Croft and Elektra thrown in as honorable mentions for roles she would love to do. Little did I know that just several days later in a report over at Collider, Vinson was announced as the latest addition to Dredd producer Adi Shankar’s untitled, currently-developing all-female take on the […]
