Tsui Chik (Li) is a librarian who leads a quiet, unassuming life – or, at least, that’s what he wants people to believe. In truth, he was once a member of the 701 Squad, a group of elite combatants produced by a failed super-soldier project. In kind with his former comrades, his central nervous system […]

Way back when I wrote my theatrical review of The Expendables 3 I talked about how I initially promised myself I would have nothing to do with this movie after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get […]

This is the one movie I promised myself I would have nothing to do with after I learned about the abysmal PG-13 rating the filmmakers trimmed it down to be to comply with requirements of the much feared MPAA in order to get it out to a wider audience (more about that later). If it […]

At this point in the Expendables franchise, it seems apparent that there is little understanding as to how to really deliver on what could make these films true action delights. The story means little to me in these films, the presence of all the big name action heroes is more important than their acting, but […]

The Expendables are back and older than ever, plus Liam Hemsworth! This action-packed sequel is silly and stupidly entertaining, but at least it delivers on what seemed to be promised in the first film. I was let down by the first film, due to its intent on striving for a fairly serious tone and boring […]

It’s been about a year and a half since The Expendables hit theaters to box office success and about a year since the Blu-ray hit stores. Well, at one point Sylvester Stallone himself made the announcement via his Twitter account that he was back in the editing suite working on a director approved extended cut […]

One of my favorite moments at Comic-Con was undoubtedly when I got to see my childhood hero, Sylvester Stallone, promote his newest film, The Expendables, to the 6,000+ packed and captivated audience in Hall H (see here). Well, it gives me great happiness in sharing the press release I received from Lionsgate in my inbox […]

Leading up to the release of The Expendables, the main joy came from the fact that Sylvester Stallone had managed to pull together a ton of action stars, from multiple decades, all in for one seemingly cheesy action movie. While the film certainly delivered in that respect, I found the overall result to be more […]

I think when every red-blooded male heard that Sylvester Stallone was putting together a film that contained some of the most popular action stars from the 80’s and today, they got all googly-eyed as if they had just seen the gates of cinema heaven. I should know. I was one of them. It wasn’t long […]

This was the panel I came to San Diego for. If there was one Comic-Con 2010 panel I was not going to miss, it was this one. It would be the chance for me to see my favorite childhood action hero in real life, Slyvester Stallone, and I was not going to miss it for […]

I remember a few years ago when the studios were billing Jet Li’s Fearless as his final “epic” film. I then saw the trailer for The Warlords over a year ago and was kind of surprised that Jet Li was doing another…”epic” film. You gotta do what you gotta do, right? I was also surprised […]
