The Street Preacher makes his way to Buenos AiresThe main reason I've been so busy apart from finals and the holidays in general is that I've been preparing to go to Argentina for a little under a month's time. With that in mind, this blog might temporarily go stagnant, but as always it will be back better than ever; in other words, I won't give up on you!!! (or, rather, probably just myself, but anyway...)
Without further ado, here's a few news pieces I've wanted to touch on but have been too lazy to do so:
First, the cornerstone of this blog--
Sylvester Stallone's future project,
The Expendables, has confirmed the additions of
Forest Whitaker and
Randy Couture. Is this going to be one of the greatest action movies ever? I dare say it will. Stallone said the reason he added Couture was to help boost his stock, or rather, make him more famous. And well, as tacky as that may seem, I really hope it pans out. Couture has struggled through a variety of projects from
Cradle 2 the Grave, a direct-to-dvd
Scorpion King sequel, and the successful third entry in the Command and Conquer: Red Alert series, and it's my opinion that he deserves some recognition as something other than a fighter. He can act competently enough for action standards, and
The Expendables will really be his test, if not last chance, at an action movie career. More power to him.
And nothing needs to be said about Forest Whitaker being added except that he's
pissin' on us, he's pissin' all over us, and you know what it tastes like? It tastes like piss!***
Update*** But wait, just when you thought it couldn't get any better. A rumor from
AICN:
Bullock might be reteaming with Sly for his awesome sounding ensemble action flick THE EXPENDABLES. They hear she's up for the role of a government agent who is partnered with Forest Whitaker in tracking down the hired guns (Sly, Jason Statham, Jet Li and Dolph Lundgren) on a mission to take down a dictator. They say the talks are happening, but it's not a done deal yet.
(Giddy 'OMGs' and untimely excitement) I think I have to catch my breath on this one. This may be the greatest action ensemble ever. The Dirty Dozen? Well that's EXPENDABLE.
Moving on, here's a movie I've been really looking forward to.
Steven Seagal's
Against the Dark, where he plays 'Commander Tao,' taking on a legion of zombie-vampire werewolves, or something, it doesn't really matter:
