Book Review: ‘Seagalogy: A Study of the Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal’
7 May 2012 12:09 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – Vern started his career as one of those snarky critics who wrote in to Harry Knowles’ landmark and influential movie website Ain’t It Cool News. He became a regular writer for the site and his work there turned him into a very unorthodox author. His first book was a fantastic examination of, believe it or not, the career of Steven Seagal. Newly updated with a dozen new chapters about the recent adventures of his subject matter (the first printing was in 2008), “Seagalogy: A Study of the Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal” is a funny, clever read for fans of the unusual action star and those who have never seen one of his movies. Vern’s movie-loving, smart, enjoyable writing makes this a more entertaining experience than Seagal himself has ever produced.
Don’t worry. This is not tongue-in-cheek nonsense. To say that Vern takes his subject matter seriously would be a Massive understatement. »

Axl Rose, Rod Stewart Mia At Hall of Fame Induction
14 April 2012 8:19 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Cleveland — The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony didn't miss Axl Rose at all.
The rowdy celebration, which in past years has included awkward moments, touching tributes and unforgettable performances, rocked on without Rose, the Guns N' Roses frontman who may one day regret skipping a night when 6,000 fans, 1,400 guests and many of music's biggest stars partied in Public Hall with the class of 2012.
Hard rockers Guns N' Roses – minus Rose – headlined this year's eclectic group of inductees. Others being enshrined are the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, folk icon Donovan, late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro and British bands the Small Faces and Faces.
Before the ceremony started with a blistering performance by Green Day, Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis said it was strange to be enshrined while on tour.
"We're going somewhere," Kiedis said. "How can we stop and take an award when really we're just halfway there? »

20 March 2012 6:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced the presenters for this year's induction ceremony, and it looks like its list of presenters is as eclectic as its list of honorees.
Comedian Chris Rock will induct Los Angeles band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. Rock is a big fan of the "Californication" rockers and has been a friend of the band for a while, reports the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, Chuck D will induct the Beastie Boys, John Mellencamp will induct Donovan, and Steve Van Zandt will induct the Small Faces/Faces.
Actress and singer Bette Midler will induct the late singer-songwriter Laura Nyro, Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill from Zz Top will induct Freddie King, Robbie Robertson will induct Cosimo Matassa, and Carole King will induct Don Kirshner. The ceremony will also feature Tom Dowd and Glyn Johns and Smokey Robinson inducting The Blue Caps, the Comets, the Crickets, »

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Interviews
14 February 2012 9:00 AM, PST | UGO Movies | See recent Ugo Movies news »
G.I. Joe is coming back in a big way this year. The follow-up is looking like it'll turn out to be one hell of a fun ride and the creative forces behind the film are giving us tons of reasons to be pumped for its return. We already have so much to look forward to: Snake eyes and Storm Shadow, Firefly, Red Ninjas, and a respectable looking Cobra! I was able to get some hilarious and awesome extra info when I went one-on-one with actors Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Adrianne Palicki, producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura, and director Jon M. Chu.
Somehow, Star Wars and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is thrown into the fray as well. Enjoy!
Is the Rock invincible?
Gregg Katzman: In the trailer we see you fall into the well and all of the bullets splash past you. You're unstoppable. You're like the modern day Steven Seagal, »
‘Haywire’ and the Difficulty of Being a Female Action Hero
9 February 2012 9:46 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Written by Lem Dobbs
USA/Ireland, 2011, imdb
At the risk of throwing the spotlight on our obsession with Haywire, after Simon‘s dismissive review, Ricky declaring it one of his favorite films to come out in January and the podcast where Justine had to pull them apart, when they argued about it, here I am throwing my oar in, hopefully with something new to say. To properly analyze the film, be warned: Hic Svnt Spoileres!
*****
Haywire and the Difficulty of Being a Female Action Hero
Haywire reunites director Steven Soderbergh and writer Lem Dobbs, the creative duo behind the masterpiece The Limey. Haywire shares a flashback structure similar to The Limey, though nowhere near as layered and complex. Both films also share a dark moral ambiguity.
The Limey is about a bad man going after a badder man who may have killed his daughter. The »

Liam Hemsworth is trying to make a name for himself in the action genre. Deadline reports that The Hunger Games star is nearing a deal to star in Empire State, an indie heist movie to be directed by Dito Montiel (Fighting, The Son of No One). He would play the role of Chris in the film written by Adam Mazer (Breach, HBO’s You Don’t Know Jack). Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is also in talks to join the cast in the role of Ransone.
The movie is based on the true story of "a 1982 NYC armored car company robbery thought at the time to be the largest cash heist in U.S. history." Production is slated to start in April. Empire State is being produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman of Mandeville Films, with Randall Emmett and George Furla’s Emmett/Furla Films financing.
I am looking forward to seeing more of Hemsworth, »
