question of the day: Who the hell is Sam Worthington?

14 May 2009 8:03 AM, PDT | From www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news

I keep seeing these ads all over New York -- on the sides of buses, on bus shelters, in the subway -- for Terminator Salvation that give equal headlining billing to Christian Bale and...

And he’s got some big projects about to hit: He’s starring in the long-anticipated James Cameron Sf epic Avatar, and he’s currently shooting the Clash of the Titans remake (he’s playing Perseus).

Movie Review - 'Fighting'

Starring Channing Tatum and Terrence Howard

Fighting is not a good movie; it's too incomplete for that. But the realization of Terrence Howard is so much fun to watch and so far beyond its surroundings that it either makes his work that much better or the film that much worse.

We'll go with the film being that much worse.

It's not the first time Howard has done this. Hart's War is not a great film (it's better than Fighting, though) but Howard was clearly outpacing the material. If memory serves, he was better than everything else in Glitter,
