Interview: Sam Worthington talks “man on a ledge,” drops some hints re: “avatar II” — what we can expect, and goes into detail about “Wrath of the Titans”

I personally have never been a huge “Sam Worthington” fan, that is not to say that I disliked him, but rather that I simply had no opinion one way or the other. I have seen films that I enjoyed that Worthington is in, Terminator Salvation, Avatar, and films that I did not care for such as Texas Killing Fields. Yet, my opinion of the actor has managed to  remain pretty neutral. That is until I had the opportunity to sit down and [...]

Soderbergh, who after announcing his retirement, released two films back-to-back, and George Lucas who stated he was retiring from epic films, wanting to focus on more intimate, personal films, the things he left behind at film school, has one more epic film up his sleeve, Red Tails.

Directed by Anthony Hemingway (Ali), Red Tails is the untold story of the pilots of the Tuskegee training [...]

Move over Angelina Jolie, you have some competition when it comes to believable beautiful ass-kicking female action hero, Gina Carano will give you a run for your money. And that is just what Carano does in Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, a fun actio-thriller with some of the best action sequences we have seen on screen in while. Carano, as Mallory, a covert operative, puts her real-life background to good use. As a MMA fighter, Carano’s beliveability on screen as she holds up, with [...]

When I heard that Academy Award winning actor Christian Bale (The Fighter and Nolan’s recent Batman films) was teaming up with multi-Academy-Award-nominee director Zhang Yimou (Hero, Raise the Red Lantern and House of Flying Daggers), I put it on my list of must-see films.  Admittedly, Bale has a tendency to gnaw on the scenery a bit, but with a good director, he can be amazing, and Zhang has always shown incredible control over his actors.  When the Chinese government chose [...]
