Now he’s about to get another IMDB entry as director Neil Marshall (the guy who made the hated-by-Nick The Descent) is taking a crack at him for Warner Bros. But this … Continue reading
Life has been hard for Brandon Routh since Superman Returns. Or maybe it’s normal – much as was his situation before donning the cape and tights, Routh has been pretty much not working.

The director came back from what seemed like assured career annihilation after he pled guilty to having oral sex with a 12 year old boy – and taping it! I have a feeling you’d have a tough time getting your job at TGI Fridays … Continue reading
