Well this is the best thing I’ve seen all week. Over the
years, Jean-Claude Van Damme has battled many foes—his evil twin, Tong Po, a
nefarious denim counterfeiting ring, and the dude who played War Child in
Point Break, just to name a few—but perhaps none quite as
vicious as My Little Pony.
Over its run, which his now nine issues deep, Titan Comics’
Doctor Who: The Eleventh Doctor has been an inconsistent, up
and down affair. Every time it appears that it’s headed in the right direction,
it takes a step backwards. That said, the last couple of issues have followed a
notable upward trajectory, which continues with the latest installment, “Rise
and Fall.”
This new trailer for Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron is so, so badass. There’s almost too much to love going on
here, including Hulk flinging robots around, James Spader proving again that he
was the perfect choice to voice the villainous AI Ultron, the growing rift
between Captain America and Tony Stark, Quicksilver smacking Cap across the
face, and the first footage of the Vision, among other things. You need to stop
reading and watch for yourself.
At UFC 184 last weekend, Ronda Rousey demonstrated again
that she’s easily the best women’s MMA fighter in the world by defeating clear-cut
number one contender Cat Zingano in 14 seconds. 14 seconds. Hell, she’s the
most dominant champ in the sport in any division, male or female. She’s also
following in the footsteps of Gina Carano and kicking a lot of ass on the big
screen as well. Last summer she showed up in Expendables 3,
next months joins Vin Diesel and company in Furious 7, and
we just heard a report that she’s teaming up with Iko Uwais, one of the baddest
and most underrated action stars in the world.
There aren’t many actors who can play Wilson Fisk, aka The
Kingpin, in the Marvel Universe. The man is a monster, just a behemoth that
routinely kicks the crap out of superheroes with his bare hands and his evil
schemes. We’ll have to wait until the April 10 premiere of Netflix’s
Daredevil to see if Vincent D’Onofrio can truly pull it off,
but in these new photos, he certainly looks the part.
If what we’ve seen thus far is to be believed,
Furious 7 certainly does take crazy to a whole other level.
Seriously, this is like everything I’ve ever wanted out of a movie. There are
cars parachuting out of planes, cars jumping from skyscraper to skyscraper, and
these two new TV spots just make me drool uncontrollably.
Bruce Lee is the ultimate cinematic badass. You can make arguments
for a handful of others to take that throne, but it’s nigh on impossible to
come up with one truly knocks him out of the top spot. Over the years there
have been a number of biopics—the wildly inaccurate Dragon, Manfred
Wong’s Bruce Lee, My Brother (aka Young Bruce
Lee and a few other titles), and he even shows up in the Ip Man films—but now we’re getting an official story complete with
backing from his family.
