Terribrill: Demolition Man
I love Demolition Man dearly, despite it quite probably being Not A Very Good film. It's as lovable as it is laughable, and has the unique characteristic of being dated on two levels – in both its 'present day' scenes in 1996 and its futuristic setting of 2032. In the oeuvre of Sly, however – and yes, I did just use the word 'oeuvre' in relation to Sylvester Stallone – it represents the end of an era; a time before the action movie became completely self-aware. Truly Demolition Man is the last hurrah for the so-called 'high-octane' one man army action movies of the mid-nineties, and it goes out with a bang, not a whimper.

10 sensible suggestions for the cast of The Expendables 2
Despite the ageing process, it looks like geriaction movie The Expendables 2 is moving forward slowly, infuriating younger movies by blocking their way like lumbering old men tend to do. Alleged new cast members John Travolta and Chuck Norris don't spread our mustard, so we came up with some better ideas and faxed them to Sylvester Stallone.

Zookeeper
For a brief time there, Kevin James had potential; when his bumbling fat guy routine was sweet and charming, not depressing and pathetic. But then he fell in with Adam Sandler. Now he's trapped churning out this kind of monkey crap while Sandler sits back and counts his money. Yeah, Kevin James is totes the new Rob Schneider.

First official picture of Karl Urban as Judge John Deed
After Martin Shaw's dreadful portrayal of the 2000AD future-cop, we finally get a look at Karl Urban's grittier take on Mega City One's high court judge. Look, it was either this or a helmet joke.

Stallone wants Willis as the bad guy for The Expendables 2
Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables is quite literally blowing up right now around the world, but he's already thinking about a sequel, and who might play the big bad: he's tweeted Bruce Willis as a suggestion.

Review: The Expendables

The Expendables
The danger of 'event movies' is often that the event becomes more important than the actual movie. In some cases, the finished film can almost become surplus to requirement. Remember Snakes On A Plane? We all chuckled at the title and bought into the cheesiness of it, yet only six people saw it at the cinema, and only three of them actually liked it. And one of them was me.

New Expendables trailer is taking names; kicking of ass to come later
The new trailer for The Expendables is basically just a list of the entire cast. But when your cast has this many badasses per square inch, I'd say it's entirely appropriate.
