Since last summer’s actioner Stealth slammed into the earth with all the velocity of declining box office receipts, director Rob Cohen’s been keeping a relatively low profile (thanks in part to his big-budget Sinbad movie with Keanu Reeves getting put into dry-dock). But he hasn’t lost his affinity for people punching and kicking each other while shitty … Continue reading
Way back before he became the best electrician in wrestling or whatever, The Rock™ got himself noticed on the football field. Now many years later, he’s graduated from throwing sweaty men around to acting, but he’s still interested in gripping the pigskin once more.

Some of the more notable elements of Michael Mann’s influential and distinctly 1980s Miami Vice TV series appear to be have found their way into the new feature, specifically the expensive cars, questionable but fashionable facial hair, cigarette boats and undercover agents getting romantically entangled with criminals. Curiously absent: pet alligator. I’m still not quite excited about this … Continue reading
Brilliant Brit triumvirate Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are still hammering away on Hot Fuzz, the follow-up to their fried gold slice Shaun of the Dead. This time they’re pointing the homage gun at cop movies, with Pegg as a super detective who gets transferred to a sleepy England town and uncovers all … Continue reading
