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 [...]

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

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.

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 [...]
