Barney and his gang are back and this time take it up against their biggest challenge yet: arms dealer and former Expendable Conrad Stonebanks.

The Expendables 2
Published on
Two years ago Stallone showed the world how fun it is if you put all of yesterdays action heroes into a movie and have them duke it out together. The movie’s campaign revolved mostly around all the names in the cast but the end product was more than just a parade of names, it was…

For everyone growing up in the 80s and 90s The Expendables is a dream come true. A dream that might be a little too late for it to be completely satisfying but a dream come true nevertheless. In the past some of the famous action names in the cast had some one on ones (Li…

Armor
Published on
A couple of weeks ago, I came across the trailer for Sylvester Stallone’s latest movie, “Armor.” Most of the footage in the trailer seemed confined to a single location, which made me suspect it might be a low-budget production. Still, the plot intrigued me—father and son security guards defending their armored car against an army…

Former wrestler Dave Bautista got his big acting break in 2014’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” as Drax the Destroyer, a role he would reprise in several subsequent films featuring the Guardians.

It’s been nine long years since The Expendables 3 received such a lukewarm response the franchise went on a long hiatus.

But you just…

F9: The Fast Saga

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the original The Fast and the Furious. It is a safe bet that nobody involved in that movie ever thought they would be in the same franchise 20 years and 9 movies later. Due to the pandemic the 9th movie, simply titled F9, is released with a delay…

Accident Man
Published on
I’m a fan of old school action movies. I grew up on Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Van Damme and Seagal taking on armies back in the 80s and 90s. I even saw plenty of second-rate action flicks back in the day starring the likes of Michael Dudikof, Dolph Lundgren, Cynthia Rothrock and Rutger Hauer. None of those movies…

Assassination Games
Published on
Assassins are actually quite a boring subject when you think about it. Sure they kill people, but that also makes it difficult for writers to make them likeable. The only way they can make the audience like them is by having them kill what Donald Trump would call “bad hombres”. Another way to make them…

Suicide Squad

In Batman Begins Alfred asks a young Bruce Wayne why people fall. “To get up again” is the answer. Young master Bruce learned in that movie what the movie studio Warner Brothers are learning the hard way by now in real life: that you should learn from your mistakes. Sadly, they appear to be somewhat…

Death Wish 3
Published on
These past few years we have been given a bunch of Expendables movies and we were witnesses to Liam Neeson becoming an action star in his late 50s. What most of us don’t realize is that 30 years earlier the same thing happened with Charles Bronson. Bronson was a character actor who appeared in a…
