Hi everyone, Bryan here….

In what looks like to be the BEST film of the year, ‘The Marine‘ is on its 5th installment, which is headed direct to Blu-ray and DVD on April 25th, but will be available for HD streaming on March 28th. The first ‘Marine‘ film came out eleven years ago in 2006 and starred John Cena as a marine who gives the Attitude Adjustment to terrorists. Solid gold entertainment, Jerry. Solid gold. That first film cost $15 million, but only made $22 million at the box office. I guess that was enough to have WWE Studios create a franchise, which now we are on Part 5 with Mike ‘The Miz‘ as Cena’s replacement.

Well, in my opinion, Cena was just warming up the character and role for ‘The Miz‘, because Miz is on fire in this film franchise as he’s played ‘The Marine’ in the last three films. In this 5th film, it looks like The Miz is now an EMT, but needs to protect someone from a vicious biker gang. Now if that doesn’t have Oscar written all over it, I don’t know what does. I can’t wait.
