Kim Basinger Joins ‘Grudge Match’

Who isn’t excited to see Jake LaMotta and Rocky Balboa go at it in the ring together? Sure, they’re really old… but it’s still those same awesome boxers we knew from long ago. Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone.

You may have seen Ms. Kim Basinger in Charlie St. Cloud or in the upcoming ‘Third Person’ by Paul Haggis. She is going to be playing the ‘woman in the middle’ which is often seen in films with two men who have a rivalry.

The film is about two retired boxers with a rivalry who are pushed into the ring for one last fight together. Sounds like the plot of Rocky 6 but times 2 ehh?

Peter Segal is set to direct, Doug Ellin writes, and Kevin Hart is also set to be the promoter for the fight who sees good money involved.

‘Grudge Match’ is expected to begin shooting sometime in 2013.

‘The Expendables 2’ Ultimate 80’s Vintage Trailer Review

What a wonderful idea! Paying tribute to how people used to watch movies at home. How trailers used to look. A great idea. Probably wasn’t Stallone’s.

It also fits for Expendables 2 since the movie is filled with action stars. The old one’s like Stallone, Arnold, Lundgren, etc. were all 80s stars too.

There’s only a couple things wrong with this though. It’s the effects they put on it. VHS’s did not jitter and mess up like that unless you were watching it in a car while driving on a bumpy road. And this is straight from the heart. From experience when I was a kid going out to eat dinner at a restaurant on rare ocassions or going on long trips for vacation… good times… good times…

‘The Last Stand’ 2013 Trailer Review

This looks like an excuse to put Arnold Schwarzenegger as an old guy who beats people up and impresses everyone. Seriously, there seems to be nothing special about this. It’s got Arnold and his weird annoying Argentinian accent, that weird black guy with the eyes, and the story is just another excuse to make an action movie.

It’s like they said,

• 1- “Hey, lets make an action movie. Go watch a bunch of action movies, take one of the stories used a million times that people will forget and we’ll use it”
• 2- “Well, how about drug cartels coming after a sherrif?”
• 3- “Nice, but we’ll need one of those former badasses to play an old sherrif who can still kick ass”
• 4- “But sir, the only one anyone cares about is Sylvester Stallone, and he’s obsessed with making stupid films filled with random action these days”
• 5- “Well, he’d fit perfect in this role, but lets get someone more annoying”
• 6- “ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER!”
• 7- “YES”

This looks about the same as Stallone’s ‘Bullet To The Head’ except it doesn’t have Sarah Shahi, so who cares about this. And tell me why some hardcore ex-CIA commando or something would be working as a sherrif? And why would they call a sherrif anyways to take down a drug cartel?
