The Last Stand – This is a vintage 80s movie throwback featuring 80s action staple Arnold Schwarzenegger as a sheriff of a quaint town that’s suddenly overrun by a drug cartel. It performed terribly at the box office, but it’s a lot of fun partially due to Schwarzenegger being able to have a little fun with his age. If you like 80s action films, you should enjoy this one.
Parker – Jason Statham couldn’t bring his “Transporter” charm to save his latest action film about a thief seeking revenge of his double-crossing crew with the help of Jennifer Lopez.
If you’re choosing between the two “Expendables” star’s solo efforts, the old pro wins this round. More
Jonathan Rhys Meyers could join his “Mission: Impossible III” director J.J. Abrams in “Star Wars: Episode VII”

Latino Review is reporting that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is negotiating to star in “Star Wars: Episode VII.”
He’s an intriguing case as he is versatile enough to be a hero or villain.
He definitely exhibited some Sith-like tendencies in Woody Allen’s masterful “Match Point” and he was a more traditional Jedi hero in “Mission: Impossible III,” which was also directed by J.J. Abrams (“Star Trek“).
The Abrams connection makes this rumor particularly noteworthy and I think this would be an excellent addition to the cast, which up to this point has just been rumored to include the cast from the original trilogy.
What do you think? Would Rhys Meyers be a good fit?

If you’re an action movie fan and don’t own “The Raid: Redemption,” I can safely assume it’s just because you haven’t seen it yet. And if that is the case, you should fix that this second as you’re missing out on one the most insane action spectacles you’ll ever see. More

Box office roundup – May 19, 2013 – “Star Trek Into Darkness” beams up to top spot

Box office roundup Iron Man 3, Pain & Gain, Star Trek Into Darkness, The Great Gatsby 3 Comments
1. Star Trek Into Darkness – $84 million [debut week] The sequel to the vastly popular 2009 relaunch of the Trek franchise easily claimed the top spot this week even if it didn’t perform as well as anticipated.
That’s largely due to the strength of the competition as holdovers “Iron Man 3″ and “The Great Gatsby” took away some of the potential Trek audience. It’s better than the $75 million the relaunch earned, which has to be somewhat of a disappointment for Paramount Pictures considering the high regard the relaunch is held. More
