Russell Crowe

Review: The Next Three Days

The Next Three Days is kind of a throwback to the classic action movies Hollywood put out in the mid-nineties - the 'one man versus the world' era of thrillers, in which lantern-jawed heroes like Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson fight to save their family against improbable odds and injustice. At one point, the lead character - a stoic, possibly stubbled everyman forced into action against his will - is likely to growl "Give me back my wife" or something, before killing eight thousand terrorists in the name of love. Brilliant.

Paul Haggis, Russell Crowe to reteam for The Equalizer

Edward Woodward's '80s icon will return, and will most likely battle racism in a completely preachy and obvious manner.

Review: Robin Hood

The first time Ridley Scott made a big budget, historical epic with Russell Crowe, it worked out really rather quite well. Scott tried again five years later, only this time he roped in Orlando Bloom. That didn't work out so well. The lesson there is, don't work with Orlando Bloom. Now it seems Scott has learnt his lesson and got his Gladiatorial mate back for another historical/fictional jaunt, but this time, with bows, arrows and a Yorkshire accent (or something like it).

New clips suggest Robin Hood might be quite good, actually

Wake up, Robin Hood is robbing from the rich and giving to the poor again. No seriously, it looks better this time.

Last (and best) trailer for Robin Hood

Feared by the bad and loved by the good? You decide.

Robin Hood movie poster

If you, like me, asked for a big close-up of Russell Crowe's sweaty, stubbled face for Christmas, then check under your tree, because Santa just chucked this down my chimney.

New Robin Hood trailer and pics = Gladiator 2?

Robin Hood is back and, in addition to his mad archery and bow staff skills, he now has an inappropriate rock accompaniment — 'cos everyone knows the Sheriff of Nottingham can't stand the clang of electric guitars!
