Friday One Sheet: We Need To Talk About EXPENDABLES 4 Tagline

From Kiwi Teacher To Indonesian Action Star, Tag Along With OPERATION RAMBU!

Blu-ray Review: COBRA Is Cannon Films, 100%

Chan! Stallone! EX-BAGHDAD!
Jackie Chan has been teaming up with Hollywood stars, on and off, for about 30 years, which is kind of funny because in his classic run of Hong Kong action pictures, he embodied the 'solo action hero' / 'one against...

Review: THE EXPENDABLES 3 Isn't Execrable...Mostly
"It's better than the last one!" Faint praise, perhaps, but given that Expendables films don't aim very high, it's probably praise that will be graciously accepted for The Expendables 3. Probably. It's fair to say the entire Expendables franchise...
