The Expendables 2 Cast’s Greatest Movies

August 7th, 2012

The Expendables 2 is coming to a theater near you real soon, it’s hard not to be excited about it. Anyone you’ve ever seen in an action movie before, is pretty much in The Expendables 2! Anyone who did an action movie in the 1980’s is literally in it. The Expendables 2 cast includes such action greats as Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Liam Hemsworth, Dolph Lundgren, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Terry Crews, Scott Adkins, and Randy Couture, Did we fail to mention, it also includes B-movie Action Gods Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme?

The only thing it’s missing from The Expendables 2 cast, is Steven Seagal. Who wouldn’t pay to see Chuck Norris kicking his ass and ripping off his ponytail to use as shoelaces?

Here’s a list of the greatest movies of The Expendables 2 cast to get you in the mood for it hitting theaters. We’ll list the greatest, slam-bang action movie each of these hard-hitting superstars.

Sylvester Stallone

Rambo: First Blood

Sylvester Stallone was great in the Rocky movies and almost every other film he did besides Rhinestone (really, Stallone singing with Dolly Parton?), even that arm-wrestling movie he did was awesome! His best role though was playing John Rambo in the first Rambo film First Blood. This was Stallone at his best, playing a disenfranchised Vietnam vet, who just comes to town to pay his respects to a fallen friend. Instead, he ends up arrested and humiliated to the point where he breaks down and fights back with the skills he earned in the war. Never has Stallone been so kick-ass in a role. In the original cut of the film (which was based on the book) Rambo ends up getting killed at the end of the picture. Test audiences loved Stallone as Rambo so much, they freaked at the idea of that happening to him, so they re-cut the movie and he survived. Sadly, the sequels that followed, made him into a Reagan-Era super-soldier cutting down 50 soldiers at a time, full of violence and not much else.

Jason Statham

CRANK

In the Keannu Reeves classic Speed, if the bus went under 50 mph, the bus would explode along with everybody else on it. In the movie Crank, Jason Statham essentially has the BUS part that Keannu wished he had! Statham plays an assassin who’s been injected with a poison that will kill him if his heart rate drops below a certain point. He spends the entire movie pushing himself to his limits, committing acts of uber-violence along the way, just so he survives!

Jet Li

Unleashed

In Unleashed, Jet Li plays a man who was raised as a slave. His “master” treats him like a beast and refers to him as “Danny the Dog”. His whole purpose is just to fight others, in matches to the death using his superior martial arts skills. Danny escapes and tries to live a normal life, but his “master” won’t let go of him so easily, and triggers him into being a beast again with the painful collar around his neck.
Not only a great fighting film, as Jet Li gets fierce fighting his opponents to the death, but a great showcase of how underrated as an actor that Jet Li really is.

Bruce Willis

Die Hard

Bruce Willis was still playing suave, cool private detective David Addison on TV show Moonlighting, when he got the role of New York cop Officer John McClanee in the first Die Hard movie. When a bunch of criminals are holding hostages while performing a heist in a large office building, and one of those hostages turns out to be the wife of a New York cop, he fights to free them, even though the odds are against that happening. Bruce Willis went from TV star to kick-ass action star in one swoop, as he took on these terrorists one by one.. and liked it. It’s definitely the best of the Die Hard series, as John McClane hadn’t been turned into an over-the-top caricature of himself, taking down helicopters single-handedly. He was still a real guy, which made the danger that he faced all the more real.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

T2: Terminator 2

Arnold Schwarzenegger went from world class bodybuilder to one of the most successful American actors ever without knowing how to act or talk English, with a last name that most people still can’t spell even after years of being a star. And from there.. to Governor of a state that has a larger population than quite a few countries. What next?

His most kick-ass movie being Terminator 2: Judgement Day. In the first Terminator movie Arnie played the killer robot Terminator from the future sent back to kill Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor character before she gave birth to John Connor, the man who would save mankind from the evil machines in the future. As cool as that was, for the second movie, Arnie essentially sent the same Terminator character, but this time he was sent back to protect Sarah and John Connor, as well as to kick Terminator ass. He went from future killing machine to future killing machine.. with a conscience.

Dolph Lundgren

Rocky IV

Dolph Lundgren is the KING of crappy action movies, he’s the guy who shows up when nobody else will. That being said, he was incredible playing Russian boxer Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. Not only was he an imposing physical presence, seeming like a giant compared to Stallone, but he also killed Apollo Creed in the ring, Rocky’s former enemy in the ring and current best friend. Rocky vowed revenge against the superhuman boxer and we ended up with a real battle of the superpowers.

Chuck Norris

Missing In Action

You don’t judge Chuck Norris‘ films, Chuck Norris’ films judge you!

Jean-Claude Van Damme

Timecop

in the movie Timecop, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a cop, Max Walker, who works for a law enforcement agency called the Time Enforcement Commission. Recently, time travel was discovered. The task of the TEC, to combat the misuse of time travel, which most people used to gain power or money, which could inadvertently destroy the future. Walker is sent back to the past to stop a businessman from using his knowledge to become President. While he’s back in time, he bumps into his wife, who had been killed in the future that he came from. While he’s trying to save the world from unravelling, dare he risk trying to save her?

Liam Hemsworth

Thor

While he’s been pretty well known in his native Australia for a few years now, on this side of the world he only became the worldwide star he is playing Marvel Comics’ Thor. Thor, son of Odin and Thunder God, is kicked out of Asgard for his arrogance and banished to Earth. He goes from butthead to hero and protects us from the dark forces coming at us. It’s nothing deep or introspective, it’s just Gods battling Gods, what fun!

Terry Crews

Terry Crews played for the NFL for 6 years until he retired to go into acting. For a while he was a series regular on an extreme sports show called Battle Show, as a character called T-Money. He’s done several films since then including Malibu’s Most Wanted, The Sixth Day and Bridesmaids. At this point, he’s still really a newbie in the action field.

Scott Adkins

Scott Adkins is still a relative newby to movies, having mostly had supporting parts rather than starring parts up until now. You can see him in such great movies such as Bourne Ultimatum, X-Men Origins and Undisputed II and III. He’s known for his superior martial arts skills.

Randy Couture

Still a relative newbie to movies, you’ve seen him as a MMA fighter in the UFC, winning the UFC Light-Heavyweight Championship twice and the UFC Heavyweight Championship 3 times. He has since retired from the UFC.

SPY KID Alex Vega All Grown Up!

July 27th, 2012

Alex Vega tweeted quite a revealing picture of herself in the last few days. Quite the revealing picture, her curves and all decked in a metal bikini.

Most of you are probably going right now.. who the HELL is Alex Vega and why should I care about Alex Vega in a bikini?

She look familiar at all? She should, she was one of the co-stars in the popular SPY KIDS movies, Alex Vega played Spy Kid Carmen in the popular franchise directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Since doing the popular Spy Kids series, Alex Vega has grown up quite a bit. She’s 23 years old now and has appeared in quite a few films, including starring in the cult classic Repo! the Genetic Opera. She’s also just been recently divorced after less than 2 years being married. Judging from the picture of her, she’s become quite the hot young woman as well.

Her next big role is as the character Killjoy in Robert Rodriguez’s latest epic Machete Kills. Alex Vega is back to working again with Robert Rodriguez! She plays an assassin who works for Sofia Vergara’s character Madame Desdemona. Machete is back, this time he battles his way through Mexico to hunt down an arms dealer who plans to launch a weapon from space. Most of the cast is back for this film – thjose that weren’t killed, and it was recently announced that Lady Gaga has joined the cast of Machete Kills.

Machete Kills is due to be released next summer – on June 13, 2012. So we can look forward to seeing the former Spy Kid in the upcoming Machete Kills movie. There’s no word yet whether or not Alex Vega will be nude in the movie, but if it’s anything like the first Machete movie, we can look forward to a violence-filled bloodfest!

Former Deep Purple Keyboardist Loses Cancer Battle

July 23rd, 2012

Original keyboardist and one of the founding members of Deep Purple, Jon Lord suddenly passed away after a yearlong battle against pancreatic cancer. It was reported that the cause of Lord’s sudden passing was a pulmonary embolism, which was attributed to the pancreatic cancer.

Jon Lord along with guitarist Richie Blackmore, bassist Nick Simper and vocalist Rod Evans were brought together by drummer Chris Curtis to form a new band. Unfortunately after a mental health issue, Curtis was replaced by Ian Paice, and this became the original lineup for the band Deep Purple.

Lord was a classically trained keyboardist who was able to fuse classical forms of music with rock and roll, and he did this not only with Deep Purple, but also with The Atwoods, The Flowerpot Men, and Whitesnake.

Lord was basically Deep Purple’s “leader,” and he along with Ian Paice and other band members wrote much of the band’s material, and interestingly enough Paice and Lord were the only original band members through the bands many incarnations through 1976.

At the end of a show at the Liverpool Empire Theatre in 1976, Deep Purple was no more, and Lord moved on to work with other bands until the band’s official reunion of in 1984.

One of the more famous bands that Lord was a part of after the breakup of Deep Purple was the band Whitesnake. Lord’s role as part of Whitesnake was more about adding color to the band’s sound with his layered keyboards, and his stack of synthesizers provided by Moog.

Unfortunately, Lord was dissatisfied with his role in the band and when interviewed, he wasn’t shy about expressing his feelings. Lord just felt like an underpaid hired hand, and when the band’s front man and lead singer David Coverdale wanted to revamp the band with a totally new lineup.

For Jon Lord, clearly the writing was on the wall as far as he was concerned. So Lord left the band and the rumors started to swell about the possible return of an invigorated Deep Purple.

The reunion of Deep Purple in 1984 featured the classic lineup of the band including Lord, Paice, Blackmore, and Glover. With the band back in full force, Lord was at the height of his career once again, as Deep Purple’s fan base responded to the band’s reunion with a tour in 1985 that was the second largest grossing tour of that year in the US.

The band then did a concert in front of more than 70,000 of their fans in London at Knebworth, where they were the headline act. And after many years with the band that he helped found, John Lord finally parted ways with the band amicably in 2002.

There have been many musicians in the industry who worked with or knew Lord and paid their respects to him, including former band mates Richie Blackmore, Ian Gillian, Neil Murray whitesnake’s former bassist, Glen Hughes who was a member of Deep purple and Black Sabbath, and Whitesnake’s David Coverdale.

Whatever Happened to – Five Forgotten Celebrities

July 20th, 2012

Whatever happened to the celebrities that once dominated our every thought, forgotten celebrities that are lucky to be recognized now let alone be the star of a major movie. We’re not talking about the middle kid on Everybody Loves Raymond, we’re talking about someone that at one point was huge, who was the reason that we lined up for an hour to see a movie. These huge stars, now forgotten celebrities, whatever happened to them?

Dean Cain

At one point, Dean Cain was top of the world. He became an overnight success with the role of Clark Kent “aka” Superman on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. It was a top ten show on ABC for 4 years and would have gone on for another few seasons if co-star Teri Hatcher hadn’t gotten pregnant and decided she needed to take essentially a whole season off for maternity leave, taking half of the Lois & Clark out of the equation. To see how popular this show was, when the show decided that they needed to wed the 2 characters on the show, it essentially forced DC comics to marry off the two characters in the comics after a more than 60 year courtship.

Since then, he’s mostly done B-movies (if he was lucky) or guest starred in some sitcom. Recently, he appeared on a game show called The Choice, which is essentially The Voice crossed over with The Bachelor, but less classy!

Robin Williams>

At one point, he was KING OF THE WORLD. He went from being a cameo on Happy Days as a “one-off” character called Mork from Ork to a Top-Ten rated spin-off Mork & Mindy and sold-out concert performances. He went from there to a string of critically-acclaimed and highly successful movies. At one point not only was he getting TOP BILLING in movies, but around $20 million/film as well. Just having him in your film was guaranteed box-office.

What happened?

He suffered Michael Caine Syndrome, essentially took any film that was offered him – took the money and ran. That’s perfectly ok to do when you’re making small films, but when you’re taking $20 million per film, your backers expect some ROI. Not only did he have a couple of financial bombs in a row, but stinkers as well. His on-stage act, also got a bit tired, as he kept on doing the same type of things over and over, the excitement kind of died.

My bet, is that he’ll eventually come back to TV – probably someplace like HBO and try to resurrect his career with.

Christian Slater

With early success in a critically acclaimed cult hit like Heathers, we expected great things for him. He had a James Dean coolness with a Jack Nicholson look and sound. and for a while the world was his. He was cast in Kevin Costner’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and was considered a draw as much as Costner was, despite being in a secondary role. In the end, what made him cool – being a poor man’s Jack Nicholson – was what killed him. Why hire him, when it’s just as easy to hire the real Jack Nicholson? Didn’t help that he wasn’t too fussy about the films he did and ended up being in a couple of stinkers. Add to that, a couple of arrests and drinking problem and he was lucky to end up on network TV in a bunch of shows that the network only gave a half a chance.

He’ll probably make a big comeback eventually, he’ll either find a TV show that the network does give a chance and keeps on the air – or somehow end up being in a Tarantino film in a small part and have his career go nuts like Travolta’s did a few years back.

Katherine Heigl

We loved her on Grey’s Anatomy as Dr. Izzie Stevens, from her Emmy win for Best Supporting Actress, obviously so did a lot of other people! Even if you didn’t watch the show, you couldn’t help but know who she was just because she was so damn beautiful. She was a popular character on a highly successful show and even started doing some movie work, such as the highly successful comedy Knocked Up, which made her an even bigger star.

What happened?

Her head got too big and she thought she was a bigger star than she really was.

She started denouncing Knocked Up as being sexist and immature, despite signing up for the project and having no problem taking the money for doing it. When there was an incident on the set involving 2 of her fellow actors, instead of shutting up and let it die down, she picked sides and got very vocal about it, letting it grow to the point of where they ended up getting rid of one of the actors involved. When she refused to have her name submitted for Emmy consideration because she said that she felt that the writers didn’t give her enough material to “work” with, it was no surprise that within a year, they allowed her to walk out of her contract mid-season and essentially “disappearing” her character never to be mentioned again. Since then, instead of moving into the big movie career she seemed destined for, she made a string of horrible movies one after the other. Eventually,she asked if she could come back to Grey’s Anatomy for a few episodes to provide some closure for fans of her character and apparently loud laughter was heard coming from the Grey’s set.

Being that she’s no Meryll Streep in the acting department, it’s unlikely that her career will go anywhere but down from this point. Being known as “difficult” or “critical” and having “declining box-office appeal” is not something that gets you jobs. Don’t be surprised if she does a “spread” in Playboy soon in the hopes of resurrecting her career.

Phil Collins

Whatever happened to Phil Collins? At one point this forgotten celebrity couldn’t do anything wrong. He was lead singer and drummer for progressive rock band Genesis, had an extremely successful solo career propelled into the stratosphere by the Pilot episode of Miami Vice and his song In The Air Tonight, who didn’t do that drum solo in the air every time it came up when the song played on the radio (Thanks Casey Kasem!). This was a man who made being a short, pasty English guy with a receding hairline and sweater vests somehow cool, giving all of us in our 40’s some hope again. Whether he performed as part of Genesis or solo, he sold out multiple shows. He also had a brief acting career, but as my mother always said – if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

So what happened?

In music, if everybody loves you, it’s because you’re going out of your way to make music that pleases everybody. Without meaning, you often become “middle of the road” without even realizing it. What people loved you for, they eventually get bored of. The Catch-22 being that if you try something different, they’ll reject you for not doing what you did before. Remember Elvis’ career slide? Phil’s music started slipping, reviews weren’t kind. He tried aping Rod Stewart’s desperate attempts to stay “with it” by first doing the “Big Band” thing, greatest hits compilations as well as a Motown covers album. By the time he ended up doing the soundtrack for Disney’s lackluste Tarzan animated feature, his Hitmaker status was pretty dead. Additionally, health problems have certainly slowed down things for him.
