Thanks to James Bond, the spy movie genre is commonly associated with a refined air of sophistication. Bond’s tuxedo, Aston Martin, martinis, and pretty much everything else about his style speaks to the classy upper-crust of British society. But Mark Wahlberg is about to turn our idea of spy movies on its head by playing a “blue-collar 007” in the upcoming action-thriller Our Man From Jersey.   The title of the film appears to be a play on Our Man in Havana, the 1958 spy parody novel that became a 1959 spy parody movie starring Alec Guinness. As for the plot of Our Man from Jersey ..read more

  Michael Mann’s 1995 crime thriller Heat is best remembered for being the first film in which screen legends Robert De Niro and Al Pacino share a scene together. The two have since performed together a couple more times, most recently to critical acclaim in last year’s The Irishman. We’re thinking Mann must be a fan of that film’s de-aging technology because the writer/director now wants to make a Heat prequel.   For several years now, Mann has been working on a novel that will serve as a prequel to Heat, and now he’s decided that he would like to do a film version of the story, as ..read more

  It’s hard to picture nowadays, but back in the ’80s, Mel Gibson was a bonafide action star. With starring roles in the Lethal Weapon and Mad Max franchises, Gibson was just as significant to the decade’s action movie explosion as his more muscular counterparts Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone. In recent years, Gibson has focused more on drama and directing, but now the 64-year-old is returning to his roots with the action-packed Force of Nature.   The film stars Gibson as a father and ex-detective who goes up against a gang of murderous thieves who invade his apartment ..read more

  A handful of films are considered all-time classics. These movies are so iconic that no one in their right mind would ever dream of trying to reboot them. Films like The Godfather, Star Wars, and It’s a Wonderful Life. There will only ever be one version of these movies because trying to recreate their magic would be a fool’s errand. We would have thought that Scarface would have made that list of untouchables, too, but Hollywood has other plans as the 1983 gangster movie is about to get the reboot treatment.   While our first instinct is to poo-poo what sounds like a very bad idea ..read more

  If your extended quarantine has got you feeling a little stir-crazy, then we’ve got just the solution. A newly released YouTube video from the folks at Goodwood Road & Racing puts you in the driver’s seat of one of the most legendary race cars in history — and it’s even more thrilling than you’d expect.   The video, aptly dubbed “Six Minutes in Heaven,” gives you dashcam and driver’s view footage of racecar driver Andrew Smith putting a Ford GT40 MKI through the paces on a winding, tree-lined road in the French countryside. The filming took place during the La Gabelle special s ..read more

  This year’s Bad Boys for Life was one of the biggest surprise hits in recent memory, with a worldwide box office haul of over $400 million that made it the highest-grossing film to ever be released in the month of January. So unsurprisingly, a fourth Bad Boys movie is now a strong possibility, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer has just provided an update on the status of such a film.   Speaking to Collider recently, Bruckheimer said the following:   We had a great experience on the first one, both through the development process with Tom Rothman [chair of Sony] and his team, and ..read more

  As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rage across the globe, more and more old TV shows are seeing revivals of one type or another. The latest, and arguably greatest, is classic mobster series The Sopranos, which has a brand new quarantine-based scene courtesy of series creator David Chase.   The new scene was unveiled on the podcast Talking Sopranos by hosts (and former stars of the show) Michael Imperioli and Steve Schirripa, and it marks the first time that Chase has written for the characters he created since the series finale back in 2007. In the new scene, Tony Soprano ..read more

  Just about everyone who drives a car has lost their temper with another driver at some point in their lives. But after seeing Russell Crowe lose it in the trailer for his new road rage thriller Unhinged, you’ll probably want to adopt a nicer attitude on the road.   If you’re into trailers that don’t give away the plot of the movie, then you might want to skip this one as it seems to present a basic rundown of the entire film in two and a half minutes. At the start, we see a woman (Caren Pistorius) and her young son in a car waiting at an intersection behind a pickup truck. After th ..read more

  The folks at Paramount and Hasbro must have a lot of faith in the G.I. Joe character Snake Eyes, because the studio has already greenlit a sequel to his solo film Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins. If you’re racking your brain trying to remember if you ever saw a Snake Eyes movie, you can stop straining, because the film hasn’t even been released yet.   Snakes Eyes just wrapped filming in February and is slated to arrive in theaters this October, so no one knows if the movie will be a success. Heck, at this point no one even knows if any movie will be successful this October, as it all ..read more

  Any Game of Thrones fan who watched The Mountain crush Oberyn Martell’s head with his bare hands knows that actor Hafþór “Thor” Björnsson is strong, but we didn’t know he was this strong.   Before becoming an actor, Björnsson’s main claim to fame was as a professional strongman, meaning it’s literally his job to lift very heavy things while competing against the strongest people in the world. He’s quite good at it, too, as Björnsson has been crowned Europe’s Strongest Man five times, won the gold medal at the Arnold Strongman Classic in each of the last three years, and in 2018, he ..read more
