Haywire (2012)
14 May 2012 4:51 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Written by: Lem Dobbs
Starring: Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Bill Paxton, Channing Tatum, Antonio Banderas
Steven Soderbergh’s exhilarating Haywire begins with a jaw-dropping fight in a café between mixed martial arts star Gina Carano and current “It Boy” Channing Tatum. The scene is so well crafted, so immediate and intense, that it actually hurts to watch. Every punch, every kick, every bone-crack has a weight and a physical relationship to the surroundings. It’s a spectacularly shot and choreographed sequence that sets the bar pretty high for the rest of the film. While Soderbergh is unable to sustain the incredible momentum of this great scene, he does end up delivering a smart, engrossing little action film regardless.
American Gladiators star Carano gives a compelling performance as Mallory Kane, a black-ops agent for a government security contractor. After helping to free a Chinese journalist taken hostage in Barcelona, »

'The Avengers' sequel: Should another female join the superhero squad?
10 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Now that it’s officially on, The Avengers sequel will have some Hulk-sized footprints to follow, and Marvel Studios will have to figure out which — if any — of the superheroes from its larger universe should feature in the follow-up.
It’s too soon to say definitively, but if writer-director Joss Whedon remains at the helm, he would like to see Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow get a sister on the squad.
In EW’s exclusive roundtable interview with Whedon and his hero cast, we discussed why there are so few female action heroes in the movies, and why they hope »

Samuel L. Jackson Calls Nyt Writer “Jaundiced Ass” Over The Avengers Review
4 May 2012 6:51 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Tell us how you really feel! Samuel L. Jackson says what the hell he wants, usually with a few expletives for good measure. So why would anyone expect him to bite his tongue about what he feels was a bad review of his new film The Avengers by New York Times writer A.O. Scott? Negating any good he held for the publication after The New York Times Magazine did a cover story on Jackson last weekend, Scott’s take on The Avengers did not please him, and he felt the writer (and the world) should know.
The review, which praises the movie’s comic bits cast but points out flaws like its “grinding, hectic emptiness” and “bloated cynicism,” prompted Jackson to tweet, “#Avengers fans,NY Times critic Ao Scott needs a new job! Let’s help him find one! One he can Actually do!”

Before They Assembled: The Best Performances From The Cast Of 'The Avengers'
3 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
For all the many strengths of "The Avengers," there's one important element that writer-director Joss Whedon can't take credit for: the casting. Of the main characters, only one, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, hasn't appeared in one of the previous five Marvel movies that have led to this point. So given the casting committee that assembled The Avengers, it's something of a miracle that it's ended up with one of the most enjoyable collections of actors in a big tentpole movie for quite some time.
Of course, for the most part, it's to be expected: while there are a few newcomers in the mix, the principle cast have close to a century of experience in the movies between them, and countless great performances in their back catalogs. With "The Avengers" finally hitting U.S. theaters tomorrow, we've picked out the greatest performance of each of the seven members »

Chris Hemsworth on Thor 2 director Alan Taylor
25 April 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Avengers hasn't even hit cinemas yet [just a couple of days to go here in the UK now though...] but two of Earth's Mightiest Heroes are already bracing themselves for a quick return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Hemsworth gearing up for respective solo sequels. Furthermore, both stars will be joined by new directors as Shane Black takes over from Jon Favreau on Iron Man 3 and Alan Taylor steps in for Kenneth Branagh on Thor 2.
While Black is a name immediately recognisable to anyone familiar with the likes of the Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout, The Long Kiss Goodnight and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Taylor is best known for his work on the small screen, having raked up a host of credits on acclaimed shows such as The West Wing, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire - not to mention his fantastic work on HBO's epic fantasy series Game of Thrones. »

What is Renny Harlin’s Dyatlov Pass?
24 April 2012 9:02 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
If he can get the right backing, Renny Harlin could be about to shoot a horror movie based on an enduring true-life mystery. We take a closer look…
For most, the name Renny Harlin will be most readily associated with big, glossy and explode-y blockbusters such as Die Hard 2 (the most expensive movie of 1990, fact fans), The Long Kiss Goodnight and Cliffhanger. It’s the latter, in fact, which sticks most readily in our minds, with its remarkable mid-air plane-to-plane set-piece, marvellously ripe dialogue, John Lithgow acting all evil, and Sly Stallone grunting heroically.
Last year’s 5 Days Of War saw Harlin venture into rather different territory, with a war picture about journalists trapped in battle-torn Georgia. The director’s next film, meanwhile, could be another change for the director, as he tackles a project which mixes the snowy mountains of Cliffhanger with the Russian setting of 5 Days Of War. »
