MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU Trailer

This summer, from the biggest global animated franchise in history, comes the origin story of how the world’s greatest supervillain first met his iconic Minions, forged cinema’s most despicable crew and faced off against the most unstoppable criminal force ever assembled in Minions: The Rise of Gru . Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell ) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. It’s not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—this unexpected family joins forces. Together, they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute their first missions.     When the infamous supervillain supergroup, the Vicious 6, oust their leader—legendary martial arts fighter Wild Knuckles (Oscar® winner Alan Arkin)— Gru, their most devoted fanboy, interview

Long before he becomes the master of evil, Gru (Oscar® nominee Steve Carell ) is just a 12-year-old boy in 1970s suburbia, plotting to take over the world from his basement. It’s not going particularly well. When Gru crosses paths with the Minions, including Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and Otto—a new Minion sporting braces and a desperate need to please—this unexpected family joins forces. Together, they build their first lair, design their first weapons, and strive to execute their first missions.      When the infamous supervillain supergroup, the Vicious 6, oust their leader—legendary martial arts fighter Wild Knuckles (Oscar® winner Alan Arkin)— Gru, their most devoted fanboy, interviews to become their newest member. The Vicious 6 is not impressed by the diminutive, wannabe villain, but then Gru outsmarts (and enrages) them, and he suddenly finds himself the mortal enemy of the apex of evil. With Gru on the run, the Minions attempt to master the art of kung fu to help save him, and Gru d

We Die Young Trailer Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme Coming to select theaters & On Demand

JCVD's Kickboxer To Be Remade With Dave Bautista & Georges St-Pierre

Buried in news about a remake of one of Jean-Claude Van Damme ’s films, Bloodsport last July was word that another of his early martial arts canon, Kickboxer would be headed into the rework ring. As the film’s backers head to Cannes in the hopes of drumming up international sales, Dave Bautista and Georges St-Pierre have been announced as part of the cast. Clearly the new Kickboxer team – which includes Tai Chi Hero director Stephen Fung – has been looking to Marvel to find its supporting fight talent, as Bautista is set to play Drax The Destroyer in the studio’s Guardians Of The Galaxy later this year and St-Pierre was one of the villains in Captain America: The Winter Soldier back in March. Both men have unimpeachable wrestling and mixed martial arts backgrounds, so we can certainly see why they’d be recruited to feature alongside the main man, stunt man and fighter Alain Moussi, who will make his acting debut with the movie. Moussi is a veteran of stunt duties on films su

Welcome To The Jungle Trailer Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme

It's like the '80s never went away. Anything Arnold Schwarnegger can do*, Jean-Claude Van Damme can do, well, too. JCVD has launched his riposte, Welcome To The Jungle , into the world. Here's the film's new trailer to check out. The premise, one that William Golding will be kicking himself for not coming up with, sees teambuilding coach Van Damme lead a group of white-collar types when their wilderness seminar gets a whole lot more wildernessy that they'd planned for. The good news? JCVD is also a shit-kicking ex-soldier. The bad? He was a Marine, not a Foreign Legionnaire. We'd have preferred him to be a Foreign Legionnaire. Oh well. Among the imperilled deskbound types are Adam Brody, Rob Huebel, Kristen Schaal and Megan Boone , with Dennis Haysbert also popping up. In the midst of this Lord Of The Flies-like scenario it soon falls to office schleb Chris ( Brody ) to stand up and be counted, presumably while Van Damme is off kicking the hell out of so

Universal To Reboot Timecop

Universal is throwing into development a remake of Timecop , the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme time travel action movie. Marc Shmuger will produce the film via his Universal-based Global Produce banner alongside Tom McNulty. Timecop , a Universal library title, was set in the near future where time travel is regulated by a police force. One officer ( Van Damme ) runs afoul a crooked politician (played by Ron Silver ) using time travel to further his political career. It was based on a story published by Dark Horse Comics (the movie’s script was co-written by Dark Horse publisher Mike Richardson) and was one of Van Damme’s most successful films, both financially and critically. Timecop also proved to be a mini-franchise for the studio, spawning a short-lived 1997 TV series on ABC and a direct-to-DVD sequel with an all-new cast. The studio is approaching the new Timecop as a reboot and a re-imagining of the concept and is out to writers. Van Damme is not involved. Please Leave

BALLSY Review For The Expendables 2

The Expendables 2 Review By: RAMA So did RAMA think this movie was BALLSY Enough? Track ‘em, find ‘em, kill ‘em! Shoot somethin’! THE EXPENDABLES is insanely awesome! Nothing like an old skool action and this is one of the best sequels for us old skool action fans everywhere. At times, it’s a hot mess but one that I wouldn’t mind watching again and again, because this is definitely NOT for those who complain that it’s just impossible that the good guys barely make it without a single scratch. This is NOT for those who complain how one man can beat an army, this is NOT for those who complain that the plot is too thin or the characters are predictable or the dialogue is cheesy. THE EXPENDABLES 2 is for those of us who want to see some R-rated badassery, that’s exactly what the film offers and that’s exactly what you’ll get. Arnold, Bruce, Van Damme, Norris, and Sly: 5 of the most iconic action stars of all time, battling it out, can’t get any better than that. Rock ‘em sock ‘em

The Expendables 2 Hollywood Premiere Images

Here are some images from the Hollywood premiere of The Expendables 2 from last night. Barney Ross ( Sylvester Stallone ), Lee Christmas ( Jason Statham ), Yin Yang ( Jet Li ), Gunnar Jensen ( Dolph Lundgren ), Toll Road ( Randy Couture ) and Hale Caesar ( Terry Crews ) -- with newest members Billy the Kid ( Liam Hemsworth ) and Maggie ( Yu Nan ) aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church ( Bruce Willis ) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's not
