Dwayne Johnson Will Be ‘Doc Savage’ With Shane Black Directing!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
When Dwayne Johnson announces a new project I pay attention, when that project involves one of my favorite writer/directors Shane Black, I give it my undivided attention. The pair have come together for Sony Pictures’ ‘Doc Savage‘.
read comments (0)Dwayne Johnson Bringing The Buddy-Cop Movie Back!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
New Line has exciting news about a new action-comedy who will be anchored by none other than the biggest Rock in the biz, Dwayne Johnson. It was a quick-paced auction that netted director Will Gluck a hot, fast tracked project.
Dwayne Johnson Boards A Tramp Steamer In Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Disney is going all retro and dipping back into one of the original theme park attractions that opened when Disneyland did to find Jungle Cruise and make a movie based on the ride. In a little bit of an ironic twist, The Jungle Cruise was vaguely based on a film to begin with – ‘The African Queen‘ with simulating 1930’s adventures from a British explorer’s lodge aboard a tramp steamer. From there, the waterways were open leading you through various tropical locales simulating a riverboat cruise down several major rivers of Asia, Africa and South America.
Dwayne Johnson Announces Robert Ludlum Adaptation!!!
Hi guys, Jana here,
Robert Ludlum is the brain that brought us the Jason Bourne novels that have spawned into an incredibly lucrative film franchise. Even though the writer died in 2001, doesn’t mean that his cannon of work is at rest. Prior to becoming a writer, Ludlum was a U.S. Marine, a theatrical actor and producer. His experience in the theatre is likely what has led his written works to film adaptation so smoothly. He authored some 27 thrillers and although Bourne may be the most well-known of Ludlum’s characters doesn’t mean he was the only one.
Dwayne Johnson Attached to Star in MGM’s ‘Seal Team 666’!!!
Jana B., Here….
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is leading the new action film from MGM, called Seal Team 666. I have to admit, this book is on my list of must-reads. It’s going to get bumped up to the list of must-read before seeing the movie, now. Johnson has proven himself to be a bankable asset for just about any movie he’s taken on. He hit fans everywhere with a jab by co-starring in the addicting Fast and Furious franchise. He intends to double that jab with Fast and Furious 7, then plans to hit us with a TKO with Hercules. After the dust settles from the 10 count, he will already be in operation mode for Seal Team 666.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will take on a ‘Skyscraper’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
I think Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is going for a world record to star in the most movies ever, because he has signed on to star in yet another film. It’s really not shocking that it will be a big budget action-movie, but this one will be set in China and be called ‘Skyscraper‘.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Announced his DC Comics Character!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
If you smell what The Rock is cooking, it might be something from DC Comics. After months of speculation and rumors about what major character the former WWE champion will play in the upcoming DC Comics films, The Rock took to Twitter to announce his character. He will be playing Black Adam.
Film Review: ‘Hercules’, Starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson!!
Janet W., Here….
I know what you’re thinking…another Hercules film? The Greek myth of the legendary son of Zeus and a mortal woman, Alcmene. Brett Ratner’s Hercules is a different kind of animal. At first, Hercules opens a lot like The Scorpion King. A nephew of Hercules (Dwayne Johnson), Iolaus (Reece Ritchie), is bound and about to be killed. Iolaus tells his would be murderers tales of the victories of Hercules. Enter Hercules through heavy plumes of smoke, which is quite close to Mathayus emerging from the soot of the fireplace in The Scorpion King.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’ Signs On For Epic Teddy Bear Movie!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Yes folks, that is correct. The Rock will be starring in a teddy bear film, but not the sequel to the Seth MacFarlane vehicle ‘Ted‘. This one is different. And you will be surprised on where the idea came from. So we all have heard famous stories on how some movies were written, some were from the idea of a child and some were written on a cocktail napkin while sitting at a bar. But this time, the story for this film was based on an image. An image made popular by the popular websites Imgur and Reddit. I couldn’t make this up if I tried.
Film Review: ‘Rampage’!
There really isn’t any point in denying that Dwayne The Rock Johnson is the biggest movie star in Hollywood right now, but he might also be the best. Nobody, except early Will Smith, can star in, sell, and market a movie the way he can. His power to entertain audiences with ridiculous premises is undeniable. Rampage is stupid, big, and insane, but it’s also obnoxiously entertaining and a joy to watch.
DC Announces its next movie will be Shazam!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
The cat is out of the bag. The next big movie in the DC Cinematic Universe will be Shazam!, which is a story about a boy who transforms into the mightiest mortal on Earth. Filming should begin at the start of 2018 and will release the following year. They even have a director now, which is David F. Sandberg – a horror filmmaker. Sandberg made Lights Out and the upcoming Annabelle: Creation, according to THR. That’s pretty much it. Now he’s getting a big comic book franchise. It’s exciting for sure and judging by Lights Out, I’m sure he’s more than capable.
Blu-ray Review: The Fate of the Furious!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
THE FILM
We’re eight movies into this franchise, which would have you assume that these films would have lost steam, been remade, or have a completely new cast. That’s not the case at all with ‘Fate of the Furious‘ or the 8th installment of the ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise, because there are no signs of this franchise slowing down, being remade, or losing any of its fun cast.
Check Out The Trailer For The Adventure That is ‘Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Those of us that got upset about a continuation of Robin Williams’s remarkably funny film with heart, ‘Jumanji‘, can rest easy. The first trailer for ‘Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle‘ has been released and it looks like the filmmakers treated the story right. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black, the adventure comes alive this Christmas.

The Red Band Trailer to ‘Baywatch’ is So Satisfying!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
Why make a Baywatch movie remake? Well, if you have Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, and Alexandra Daddario in it, you’re gonna have a good time and make some money. The TV show from the 80s and 90s was full of cheese, drama, and mild entertainment. It looks like this rated R remake is going the hardcore route with blood, big explosions, and tons of vulgar humor, which satisfies every hole on your body. I had no idea this film was turning out like this, but I’m now super excited to see this one. I have a feeling that my jaw will hurt from laughing and smiling so much from start to finish here.

Blu-ray Review: ‘Moana’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
‘Moana‘ is the latest animated film from Disney, releasing a few months after their big hit ‘Zootopia’. No matter what film Disney releases, the usual messages and tone are consistent in every film. However, Disney magically manages to make each film feel very fresh, unique, and original with excellent characters, animation, and story lines that not only captivate me with each film, but to the masses as well. ‘Moana’ is no different here, as it looks visually stunning, as well as have an top notch story with excellent voice talent and songs.

We’ve Got The First Peek At ‘Baywatch’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
From Seth Gordon, the director responsible for ‘Horrible Bosses‘ and ‘Identity Thief‘, comes ‘Baywatch‘, the big-screen incarnation of the small-screen hit that ran for 11 seasons. I’d be hard-pressed to give you a description of the series as it was basically just beautiful people, like Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff, running on the sand. I always thought it aired late at night, in syndication, as an *aid* to help teenage boys go to sleep.
The Trailer for Disney’s ‘Moana’ Is Finally Here!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The trailer we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! Disney’s newest animated feature ‘Moana‘ is a fresh, original, heartwarming and just downright awesome story.

Disney’s Live-Action Calendar Looks Amazing!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Disney loves the live-action fairy tale trend as it’s proven by the last few years of their movie catalog, so it’s not surprising they are planning out a slate of movies into the next several years.

They’ve also set up the true-story drama ‘Battle for Alcatraz‘ at Paramount with ‘Bridge of Spies‘ alum Matt Charman producing.
When Is It Coming Out?! From Cars 3 to Terminator!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
When is it coming out?! It’s a common phrase that is heard when the topic of discussion turns to much anticipated movies that are mapped out for the next few years. From ‘Star Wars VIII‘ to ‘Cars 3‘, and what’s going on with the ‘Terminator‘ franchise? I will reveal all after the jump.
The Future Looks Bright For ‘The Fast And The Furious’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
To the folks that think the ‘Fast and Furious‘ franchise is coming to an end because of various reasons, been too long of a series, how many more car chases and crashes can they really come up with? and most importantly, the death of long-time star, Paul Walker, let’s just say, that’s not the case. We’ve got some intel that not only are there more sequel’s in the works, but the franchise plans to expand even further.
Grab ‘San Andreas’ on Blu-ray Before It’s Too Late!!!

80’s Arcade Game ‘Rampage’ Receiving Big Screen Treatment With The Rock!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Remember the arcade game from the mid-80’s called ‘Rampage‘? You know, the one that let 3 people play at once, each being a different giant monster that terrorized a city with the clever thought of “Smash. Bash. Trash?” Well, it’s being re-tooled for the big screen by New Line and producer Beau Flynn, part of the team who made the recent hit, ‘San Andreas‘.
WWE: Stone Cold Steve Austin v. Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 32??
Mike P., Here…
We’re back. After roughly 15 years of irrelevance, with a couple exceptions for UFC defections and mass murders, It’s all happening. Austin. Lesnar. Wrestlemania 32. Wrestling is cool again.
Here Is The Official Trailer For ‘Batman v Superman’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
The official plan to release the ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice‘ trailer this coming Monday, but some dude with a camera phone spoiled those plans and put their shaky, grainy version with Portuguese subtitles out into the interwebs. Zack Snyder reacted by giving the fans what we want, a peek at the trailer.
Check Out The Trailer For HBO’s ‘Ballers’ Featuring The Rock!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Dwayne Johnson is starring in a new comedy series that surrounds football, the players, the handlers, their families, all of it. HBO found a home for ‘Ballers‘ right after the season two premiere of another highly successful drama ‘True Detective‘ when it debuts on June 21.
Check Out HBO’s Yearender And See What 2015 Will Bring!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
HBO knows how to keep customers satisfied, this was one of the first networks that chose not to rely solely on premium movies to entertain the masses by bringing unique series to the party. The cable channel puts together a clip with highlights from 2014 while adding small teasers for what is to come in 2015.
A ‘Ride Along’ Sequel Is Already in the Works!!
Jana B. here,
‘Ride Along‘ is still in theaters. Before the proverbial body of the original is even cold, Universal Pictures executives are already planning the sequel. The movie hasn’t even made it to the gap between theatrical release and DVD release, yet! It’s like Hollywood is checking the obituary column of the paper to get the jump on a great rent-control apartment in the city.
Lucas Black is Returning For ‘Fast and Furious 7’!!!
Jana B., Here….
To all the fans yelling for more of the Sean Boswell character from ‘Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift‘, the movie gods have heard your cry and answered. Lucas Black, who starred in Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, is returning to reprise his Sean Boswell role in Fast & Furious 7. Black, has signed a deal that calls for his character to become a regular in the series and he will be part of at least the next three installments of Universal Pictures’ most lucrative film franchise. Fast & Furious 7 will be released next July 11.We most recently saw Black flex his acting muscles as Pee Wee Reese in the Jackie Robinson film ‘42‘. Before that he featured in ‘Friday Night Lights‘, ‘Cold Mountain‘ and my favorite Lucas Black role as Jeep Hanson in ‘Legion‘.
Film Review: ‘Fast & Furious 6’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Universal’s biggest film franchise has hit number six with more than $1.5 billion in previous sales. And it looks like this new sequel/prequel will even push that amount further into another billion, despite its awful dialogue and numerous over-the-top, zany action sequences, which seems to make the audience laugh more often than cause suspense. That being said, this film does deliver what the audience has wanted since the first film. That is all of the original actors are back this time, which includes Michelle Rodriguez. I have no doubt this will score big at the box office. At least Universal seems to think so, as they have already greenlit part 7, which will be released next July and promises more stars and bigger action.
Here are the 2013 Super Bowl Movie Trailers!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
It’s Super Bowl Day, meaning us fellow movie geeks are only interested in a couple of things. 1) Movie trailers. 2) The commercials. 3) Food. 4) The Puppy Bowl. Not necessarily in that order. I mean, the Puppy Bowl is really the only time out of the year where the entire world is at peace and everything is a bit brighter. But, this isn’t about the Puppy Bowl. This is about some really amazing movie trailers that will be shown during the big game this year. We can expect a new ‘Iron Man 3‘ trailer, a new ‘World War Z‘ trailer, ‘The Lone Ranger‘ trailer, and another ‘Oz‘ trailer. Plus some other surprises. Below are the trailers you can see before anyone else does. Enjoy.
Mike Dishes It Out Cold on the 2013 WWE ‘Royal Rumble’!!!
Mike P. Here…
The Rock is the new WWE Champion, and this guy and I are pissed off about it – CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW PISSED OFF WE ARE!!
Yes, The Rock was my favorite WWE performer in wrestling’s heyday at the turn of the millennium. But in 2003, Dwayne Johnson left WWE to become the thinking man’s Vin Diesel. He used his success as a WWE Superstar to springboard into movies, and that’s great. But CM Punk doesn’t want to springboard anywhere. CM Punk wouldn’t trade the WWE Championship for a featured role in the Fast and Furious franchise, and no one looks at CM Punk and thinks “Oh yeah, the strong man’s William H. Macy.”
Mark Wahlberg Joins ‘Transfromers 4’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We have been hearing tons of rumors today about Michael Bay casting Mark Wahlberg as the leading man in the next ‘Transformers’ film. Well, I guess it is official as of now. Bay announced the news this evening on his website. We have also reporter before that Bay wants to reboot his own series, instead of making a direct sequel.
Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide to Star a Rock!
Or, you know, THE Rock.
Dwayne Johnson is set to star in The Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide, a film based on the graphic novel miniseries by John Paul Russ. The film will be produced by Simon Kinberg through his company Genre Films.
Writers of ‘Zombieland’ Taking Hollywood by Storm with J.J. Abrams!!!
The Bishop Charlotte Reporting….
Hasbro has just gotten in bed with J.J. Abrams and Paramount for Micronauts, a film based on the successful toys (or I assume they’re successful, as a movie is in the works. I’ve never heard of them.) The film will be written by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the scribes that brought you Zombieland, which at least gives us a giggle.
Bryan’s Bluray/DVD’s Picks For The First Week Of March!!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
March is here which means spring is on the horizon. This also means tons of Oscar nominated and Oscar winning films will be released on home video very soon. Starting today. In fact, a few have already been released, but, I’m thinking there will be re-issues with more extras and the titles that read “Oscar Winning” on the cover. I’m very excited about this week in releases. Tons of great stuff.
As usual, you will get some info about the disc and the extras that come with the movie as well as a personal opinion about the movie and a link to purchase the film over at AMAZON where you can save quite a bit of money, and it will give a small percentage kick back to this site so we can continue bringing you excellent stories and sales.
Enjoy and Here We Go!!
Faster. See it.
Faster is for those of us that like violent, fast paced, intense revenge flicks. This is the darkest, most intense Dwayne Johnson film ever. The plot is simple, a man is hellbent on avenging the death of his brother. He is a guided missile. Dwayne Johnson perfectly executes his role. The movie manages to be emotional, but never sappy. The plot isn’t so thick to ever get in the way, but it’s never so thin that you don’t understand why the characters are doing what they’re doing.
The Rock is Finally a BADASS Again…
As it pleases me to say, that THE ROCK has taken a break from his family entertainment films to give us fans a hardcore movie that he should be in. I am a huge fan of THE ROCK, and I will pretty much see anything he is in. Even the family friendly films.
Now we get a move with him called “Faster”.
“After 10 years in prison, Driver has a singular focus – to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. With two men on his trail – a veteran cop just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent, the hunter is also the hunted. Faster, starring Dwayne Johnson, Billy Bob Thornton and Oliver Jackson-Cohen.”
I cannot wait for this.
Check out the Red band trailer below.
‘Fighting With My Family’ – Film Review!
“‘Fighting With My Family’ dare I say it, is my favorite film of the year so far.”
Pro-wrestling is a way of life and an escape into another universe of fun characters and storylines where it allows us to put aside real-world thoughts for a few hours and enjoy some high octane entertainment from some of the world’s best athletes and entertainers. Most of us at least one point in our lives have watched a pro-wrestling match and still vividly remember the match to a tee and who competed. After Stephen Merchant’s latest directorial effort ‘Fighting With My Family‘, you will forever remember the name Paige, a real-life woman who started wrestling at the age of 8 in England with her entire family of wrestlers, where at the age of 18, was signed to WWE and won the Women’s Championship Title, making her the youngest ever to accomplish that feat.
Film Review: ‘Skyscraper’!
Summer blockbusters have been a staple for all of us for many years in the movie theater. We can expect, a ton of action, one-liners, witty actors, explosions, feel good endings, and sometimes monsters, zombies, aliens, robots, or a combination of all four. These big summer blockbusters usually lack an award winning story or break-through performances, but it makes up for that in sheer entertainment and high stakes. When you bring in a former charismatic WWE Champion with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to play the “every character from our favorite 80s-90s action movies, you’re gonna get something wild, fun, and nothing short of spectacular, which is why I’m hear to say that ‘Skyscraper‘ is the big budget summer blockbuster you’ve always wanted.
Film Review: ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’!!
Hello Everyone, Janet W. here…
Oh, we got fun…and the game! Coaxing and soaring over the tails of its predecessor, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will rock your world. In 1995, Jumanji, centered on a board game, turned a home and a city inside out with adventure stampeding over the bounds of the silver screen. Picking up from where the first film left off, the board game is found on a beach. Jumanji ensnares new victims, so let the ride begin. Read the rest of this entry »
Dr. WWE or: How I Learned to Stop Complaining and Fix The Product
Written by: Bryan Kluger…..
The world of pro-wrestling has been around for many years and has certainly seen its ups and downs, most noticeably being the WWE. There have been many promotions through the decades, which have made a lot of people very successful and it continues to this day. At some point down the road though, there was one company that surpassed everyone by leaps and bounds and brought the pro-wrestling arena into the mainstream. Of course I’m talking about World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), or the artist formally known as World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in its teenage angst years. For a long while, there were two major companies that featured the best of the best in the pro-wrestling world. WWE and WCW. They didn’t play well together at all on and off screen.
4K UHD Review: ‘The Mummy’ (2017)
THE FILM
(This film portion was written by Fernando Martinez)
The Mummy (1999) is by far one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Written and directed by Stephen Sommers, it works as an homage to classic monster movies, great adventures, and old school “hero of the day” golden age of cinema films. Starring Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and what can only be described as a truly breakout performance by Arnold Vosloo as The Mummy Himself, Imhotep!

Film Review #2: ‘Beauty and the Beast’ (2017)!
Dan M., here….
Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (1991) is in the top 2 Disney animated movies of all-time. I’ll only allow The Lion King, which has a live action version due in 2019 or 2020, to be ranked ahead of it. This isn’t a debate. These are facts. Beauty and the Beast (animated) is a masterpiece from songs to characters, which is why I loved that this new live-action movie stayed so true to the animated version. It was an extremely enjoyable two hours with some really great moments and I look forward to seeing it again.
WWE Superstar Paige Will have a Movie Made About Her!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
WWE Superstar Paige or real name Saraya-Jade Bevis is only 24 years old, but has been wrestling with her entire family in the ring since she was 13. She entered the WWE in 2011 after hearing about WWE tryouts and auditions in England. The film is called ‘Fighting With My Family‘ and will follow the Bevis family as they wrestle as a family together in small gyms around the globe.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Central Intelligence’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
THE FILM
What would a Summer-Movie-Season be without Kevin Hart and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson? This summer, the two team up in an action-comedy called ‘Central Intelligence‘, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (‘Dodgeball‘ and ‘We’re The Millers‘) and co-written by actor/writer Ike Barinholtz(‘Neighbors‘). With so many buddy-cop action comedies out there, it’s sometimes difficult to tell one of them from another. Sure, there are the greats like ‘Lethal Weapon‘, ‘Turner and Hooch‘, and ‘Tango and Cash‘, but what does modern day buddy-cop action comedies hold that the past films don’t? When relating this to ‘Central Intelligence‘, it seems like the filmmakers thought it would be a lot of fun to put these two personalities together and basically let them riff off each other for a couple of hours. Throw in a some guns and a half baked plot about world security and terror, along with a message about being bullied, and you have yourself ‘Central Intelligence‘.
‘Central Intelligence’ Makes It’s Way To Home Video In September!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘Central Intelligence‘ is one of the most hilarious movies of the year and it’s coming to home video soon! The digital HD option releases September 13, but if you want the Ultra HD Blu-ray you can get that on September 27. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment created magic when they paired Kevin Hart and Duane Johnson with director Rawson Marshall Thurber (‘Dodgeball‘, ‘We’re The Millers‘). Also starring in the film is Amy Ryan, Aaron Paul and Danielle Nicolet.

‘Malignant Man’ is Coming to the Big Screen!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…..
Fox and Boom! Studios have partnered up to bring ‘Malignant Man‘ to the big screen with Brad Peyton directing and James Wan producing. Peyton recently directed ‘San Andreas‘ with The Rock and is doing the sequel and the upcoming ‘Rampage‘ film too with (you guessed it) The Rock. And we all know Wan is the horror master who just released ‘Conjuring 2‘, so thus far, this has a solid team behind it.
Enjoy the trailer for Disney’s ‘Moana’!

I’ve been waiting for this Disney animated film to release already, because I’ve been hearing so much about it for so long. The new film is called ‘Moana‘ and takes place in the South Pacific and is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker who did ‘The Little Mermaid‘.
Netflix Prepping Period Drama ‘Frontier’ With Jason Momoa!!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Netflix is, at this point, well established in the original series game so it comes as no surprise that their further efforts are drawing some serious star power. Case in point – ‘Frontier‘ from director Brad Peyton, you might recognize that name on the director’s title for ‘San Andreas‘ with co-starred one hell of a powerhouse in Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. So we know Peyton can work with the big names, but who is his star going to be for the streamers new series, ‘Frontier‘ but Khal Drogog himself, Jason Momoa.
A ‘Big Trouble in Little China’ Remake, Starring The Rock?
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Okay, let me get this straight. Out of all the remakes Hollywood wants to do, why are we tackling ‘Big Trouble in Little China‘? I really hope this is a mere rumor, but The Wrap is reporting it, and it seems some industry professionals are confirming this. But yes, 20th Century Fox wants to remake the iconic 80s film that starred Kurt Russell and was directed by John Carpenter.
Film Review: ‘San Andreas’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s certainly been a while since we got to sit through an epic disaster film that featured earthquakes, volcanoes, twisters, a giant monster lizard, or even a ‘Sharknado‘. Luckily for us, the summer of 2015 has given us ‘San Andreas‘, a full-scale earthquake action picture starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. It shouldn’t be any surprise that director Brad Peyton has teamed up with The Rock again for this disaster flick since their previous ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island‘ did so well. Add on ‘Lost‘ writer Carlton Cuse, and you have ‘San Andreas‘, the movie that should be able to hold the championship belt at the box office, at least for a week or two.
WWE’s Dean Ambrose to Star in Action Movie ‘Lockdown’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Move over Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and move over John Cena, because WWE superstar Dean Ambrose (real name Jonathan Good) has signed a deal to star in an upcoming action movie called ‘Lockdown‘. This is the 2nd film out of a series of six that WWE Studios and Lionsgate will co-produce together. Stephen Reynolds will direct the film, which production starts later this month.
Check Out the ‘Hercules’ Trailer, Starring The Rock!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
As we reported late last year, there will be two films that feature Hercules this year. One came out at the start of the year, which was directed by Renny Harlin, and wasn’t too good. You can read that review HERE. The other one has me more excited, but not by much. I’m not a fan of director Brett Ratner (‘Rush Hour‘), but this film will star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as Hercules, so that has me intrigued. I don’t care what it is, but The Rock is so charismatic on screen, I’d watch him in anything.
‘Kon Tiki’ Star Takes The Villain Role in ‘Hercules’, Starring The Rock!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We have more casting news on Brett Ratner’s live-action version of ‘Hercules‘ that is starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. Tobias Santelmann has just been cast as lead bad guy opposite The Rock. Santelmann was one of the stars in the critically acclaimed indie film ‘Kon-Tiki‘. A big congratulations to Santelmann for this opportunity.
Film Review: ‘Snitch’!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I was thoroughly impressed with Ric Roman Waugh’s ‘Snitch’, but for different reasons than you expect. Inspired by true events like most movies these days, this particular film produces a sense of true fear and hopelessness rather than show cheesy light-hearted inspiring stories that we tend to see in these “true event’ stories. And Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson leaves his ‘The Rock‘ name at home and plays a real human being who is in over his head with some real bad guys. Not only that, Johnson proves that his acting ability is worthy of not a WWE Championship, but of an acting award.
Learn What Big Action Star Will be in the next ‘Fast and Furious’ Film!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
It’s amazing and causes me to have headaches to write about more ‘Fast and Furious‘ movies. I don’t get the draw here at all besides Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson slumming it to be in these horrid films. However, there have been quite a few of these movies and there is at least going to be two more films. So, with that said, according to the good folks over at Aintitcool, this upcoming ‘Fast and Furious‘ film will be the 6th installment, with the 7th movie being filmed directly after. Kind of like how Peter Jackson filmed the ‘Lord of the Rings‘ trilogy.
There’s Good News and Bad News for The Upcoming Live-Action ‘Hercules’ Film!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Yes, there is going to be a live-action version of Hercules coming to the big screen. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is set to play Hercules. That’s the good news. The Rock is so charismatic and fun, that I’m willing to watch ANYTHING with him in it. He just brings life to any film. I’ve heard rumors about him playing Hercules before, but now they are set in stone. I’ve always wanted The Rock to play Johnny Bravo in a live-action adaptation of the cartoon.
Michael Bay, Mark Wahlberg, and The Rock Team Up For ‘Pain and Gain’!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
You know what’s awful? Writing two stories back to back about Michael Bay. But I guess, he is unstoppable right now. In addition to the 4th ‘Transformers’ film, Michael Bay will be directing ‘Pain and Gain’. Yeah you read that right. What a shitty title. The film will star Marky Mark of the Funky Bunch and the People’s Champ, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
Deserted Samurai Rides With The “Fast Five”!!! (A Review)
Hi Bryan Here…
I have a fresh review of the new Fast and Furious film, “Fast Five”. This review comes from one of our newest contributors to the Boomstick site so let us all give a warm welcome to Deserted Samurai.
“Fast Five, or as I like to call it, 2 Fast too Fiveious. If you haven’t been a fan of the more recent Fast & Furious movies then this may not be the movie for you, as it basically has the same feel as the previous film (Fast & Furious). HOWEVER, if you want to see several late model cars ripping up streets and burning more fuel than you could eventually get from Jurassic Park, then believe me when I say that this is the film for you!
