Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Jason Momoa, Christian Slater, Sarah Shahi, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Sung Kang | Written by Alessandro Camon | Directed by Walter Hill
Bullet to the Head is the latest film to star ass-kicking pensioner Sylvester Stallone. He plays Jimmy Bobo (really), a hitman with morals – don’t they all – who gets himself in a right old tiswas after his partner is killed by Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian’s Jason Momoa after a routine job. Tech-savvy (ie, smartphone-owning cop) Taylor Kwon looks into the murder Bobo committed and decides to team up with the crim in order to find out who’s really behind all the killing and intrigue and why. Kwon is played by Sung Kang who has starred in a number of Fast and Furious films and was cast as Thomas Jane was not ‘ethnic’ enough. Former NFL cheerleader Sarah Shahi plays tattoo-artist totty and Bobo’s »

The Punisher: 7 Essential Stories You Must Read
18 May 2013 4:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Punisher is one of those strange characters – his logo is instantly recognisable and he has a lot of name value and yet despite this he doesn’t have the popularity of a Batman or a Spider-Man. This could be partly down to three poorly received films – 1989′s The Punisher starring Dolph Lundgren, 2004′s Garth Ennis influenced version starring Thomas Jane and the ultraviolent (albeit straight to DVD) Punisher: War Zone with Ray Stevenson perfectly cast as Frank Castle – or maybe because his ultraviolent and uncompromising nature makes it near on impossible for him to be mass marketed. But with his iconic black and white skull-shirt and gruff Dirty Harry demeanor, the story of Frank Castle – a former Marine who engages in a one-man war on crime after his family is viciously gunned down in front of him – is one that strikes a chord with people due to its simplicity and grounded emotions, »

Bullet to the Head Blu-Ray Review
7 May 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Bullet to the Head was Walter Hill’s long awaited (by me anyway) return to directing after a ten-year absence. When it came out in February it was not well received and not screened in advance for critics, but now it’s out on home formats it’s time for an agonising re-appraisal of the film.
Taken on its own terms and watched late enough at night, Bullet to the Head is actually quite enjoyable. The problem people seem to have with the film is its corniness and somewhat outdated machismo. Those who love Walter Hill’s previous work however, know that he hasn’t really changed the type of films he makes but the world around him has moved on. Nowhere is this more obvious than in its mis-matched buddy leads. One a floppy haired Asian superstar who looks like a male model and the other Sylvester Stallone.

Stephen Amell: I Didn't Tell My Parents I Played a Male Prostitute in Hung
24 April 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Us Weekly | See recent Us Weekly news »
Before Stephen Amell was cast as the hero in Arrow, the actor played second fiddle to Thomas Jane on HBO's Hung. "In the hung hierarchy, I was the less hung guy," Amell joked on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno Apr. 23. "I made up for it with enthusiasm. I played Jason, the young, sweet, enthusiastic hooker." On his first day of work, the 31-year-old was asked to disrobe on camera. Though sex scenes can intimidate some actors, Amell wasn't concerned about being nude on set. "The [...] »

Celebrities are gonna have a field sobriety day with this one ... The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled ... it's unconstitutional for cops to forcibly draw blood from someone who was busted for DUI unless they get a warrant -- or prove a damn good reason for not getting one.The implications here are far-reaching. If someone refuses a breathalyzer ... cops may have to take the time to write up an affidavit and get a judge to sign a warrant. »

Judge Dredd Will Return… But Not As A Movie
5 April 2013 2:10 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
If like us you loved Pete Travis’ arse-kicking 2012 Dredd reboot, you’re probably hoping that a sequel will one day find its way onto someone’s shooting schedule. In a recent interview with MTV, though, the film’s producer Adi Shankar crushed the hopes and dreams of millions of fan boys and girls the world over, when he announced there are no plans to film a sequel because the film was a box office flop:
“The movie totally bombed and R-rated movies are a tough sell to begin with. If Dredd becomes a cult hit it will be awesome. Last September was a terrible month: Dredd bombed and then Looper became a massive hit a week later!”
Absolutely gutting news, especially as the film’s writer, Alex Garland, had envisioned Dredd as a trilogy introducing classic villain Judge Death in the third movie.
But don’t lose hope just yet, »

"Dredd" Producer Nixes Sequel Talk
28 March 2013 6:35 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
It was already thought to be the case, but now it is set in stone - there will Not be a sequel to last year's "Dredd," the surprisingly fun and robust take on the Judge Dredd comics.
During a recent Reddit online Q&A, producer Adi Shankar was surprisingly honest about why the sequel isn't happening:
"It’s because the movie totally bombed & R-rated movies are a tough sell to begin with. If Dredd becomes a cult hit it will be awesome. Last September was a terrible month: Dredd bombed and then Looper became a massive hit a week later!"
Shankar adds that he is working on a "Dredd" short film in the vein of "Dirty Laundry," the "Punisher"-themed short fan film he and Thomas Jane did together last year.

Dredd 2 all but dead, possible short films happening

News Simon Brew 27 Mar 2013 - 06:36
The producer of Dredd suggests that Dredd 2 won't happen, but that Dredd short films might...
Part of this story, sadly, is going to come as no surprise. In spite of a groundswell of support for the movie, that has seen solid DVD and Blu-ray sales, Dredd has nonetheless performed well below what was needed to get a full cinematic sequel off the ground. The film's $35m worldwide cinema gross all but put an end to that, and if there were any doubts lingering, they seem to have just been extinguished.
The producer of Dredd, Adi Shankar, did a session on Reddit, and inevitably the question of Dredd 2 didn't take long to arrive. Will there be a sequel, he was asked? "Probably not". Why? Well, "it’s because the movie totally bombed & R-rated movies are a tough sell to begin with", he said. He went »

10 Movie Adaptations That Changed The Ending For The Better
25 March 2013 9:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
We’ve all groaned about how a movie adaptation of a book we love just isn’t up to scratch; it either isn’t how you imagined it in your head, or by changing so much of what made it great in the first place, it has missed the point entirely. It’s generally accepted that books tend to be superior to the movies made about them, but that doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
Indeed, there are rare instances when, with a director who at once respects the source material and is also aware of the disparity between the written and cinematic mediums, is able to turn a great story into an even better one in a new form.
Some of these adaptations were so successful that their writers and directors were lavished with the ultimate complement – the author even conceding that the changes made were in the best interests of the movie, »

After seven years of playing the best friend a guy could have, Jerry Ferrara bid adieu to his Entourage (although, not forever) as he staked out new ground on the big screen. Life after Turtle included a meaty role in Think Like A Man and a supporting gig in Battleship, but Ferrara is poised for his biggest platform to date with the premiere of Empire State, a crime drama co-starring Liam Hemsworth, Emma Roberts and The Rock, that has its world premiere tonight at The Gasparilla International Film Festival.

Entertainment Tonight recently caught up with actor, Thomas Jane to discuss some of the more memorable films that he has made. To kick things of the reporter, Jarrett Wieselman, suggests that The Punisher, which debuted almost ten years ago, has a cult following. "Yes, I've heard that from a lot of people," Thomas Jane chimes in. "I'm happy the movie has real fans out there." The film only pulled in $55 million worldwide at the box office, however, DVD sales were quite strong, adding an additional $60 million, bumping up the overall take to $115 million. ETonline: When was the last time you watched it? Jane: I've never really seen the whole thing. I usually sneak out of my premieres; go in the front door and right out the back [laughs]. I'm not a fan of watching my work. When I was a young actor, I watched myself so I could figure out what »

He's jumped genres, decades and mediums throughout his 20-plus year career and on March 23, Thomas Jane's work -- The Punisher in particular -- will be celebrated at The Gasparilla Film Festival when they bestow him with their International Career Achievement Award.
Jane, who will accept his award following a screening of The Punisher (which was filmed 10 years ago in Florida), recently sat down with ETonline to talk about this unexpected honor, explain how he perfected The Punisher and reflect upon the very intentional diversity of his career.
ETonline: First of all, congratulations on the Career Achievement Award!
Thomas Jane: Thank you. I have to say, I was very surprised. A lifetime achievement award is not something I ever expected ... isn't that the kind of stuff they give you when you're an old man? Maybe I'm underestimating how old I am [laughs]. I just feel like I have a lot left to do.
ETonline: Well, you »
