Greatest Action Movie EVER MADE?

Today could very well be the best day of my life. The first official trailer for the Sylvester Stallone directed action epic The Expendables was released to the world. Besides the fact that this film contains a cast that could conquer the free world on their own, it seems to be an entertaining film.Never in my wildest imagination would I have ever believed that Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Arnold Schwarzenegger & Bruce Willis would have ever appeared in the same movie. But the fruition of this film not only proves that there is a God, but proves that he loves us VERY much! See for your self!

Yeah Sly is getting up there in age, but that didn't stop him from making Rambo 4 and as we all know that movie was action art! With the likes of Schwarzenegger, Lundgren, Rourke and Willis, brought together, these "old men" are defying the odds and showing that "old" is the new "bad ass." Never have I ever looked so forward to old age.

John Rambo, changing the WORLD??

The highly popular but fictitious character John Rambo seems to be creating some ruckus in reality. According to IMDB several
Bootleg copies of the latest Rambo movie have been popping up all over Myanmar (Burma - where the film is set.), despite efforts by authorities to prevent the film from being circulated.

A report from Yangon said that the movie, in which the country's military junta is portrayed as the enemy, is "fast becoming a talking point among a population eager to shake off 45 years of military rule." Reuters indicated that a paraphrased line from the movie, "Live for nothing, die for something," has become a rallying cry within the country and has buoyed the resolve of opponents of the military regime.

You go John Rambo! This is the whole reason movies are made, to inspire! I'm not condoning senseless violence, nor am I supporting any act of war. I'm just saying that I've seen this movie twice already and know that there is some serious power behind it and I'm NOT surprised that it is inspiring the Burmese (Mayanmarian) population to revolt against their current military leadership. Again, I am not claiming that Rambo is an epic film that deserves awards. I'm just glad to see that this testosterone packed action fest is doing more than entertaining people. Here is just a taste of what you're missing out on, if you haven't seen it yet, GO...

Rambo Nostalgia...

Today is the day that many action movie fans have looked forward to since last summer. Rambo explodes into theaters across America. This, the fourth installment in the highly popular franchise and is already being heralded as the bloodiest of all. According to Dark Horizons, Rambo (2008) has the highest body count of all four films. Here are the numbers they came up with:

Total Body Count: 236
Kill Count Per Minute: 2.59
Torture Scenes: 3
Time of First Death In Film: 3min 22sec
Good Guys Killed: 113
Bad Guys Killed By Rambo: 83
Bad Guys Killed By Supporting Characters: 40

Pretty impressive numbers if you ask me. Stallone, who both penned and directed this one, seems to kick some major ass in the movie and kills so many people it would just be too hard to take names. That is pretty phenomenal, when you keep in mind he does it all with his shirt on AND at the tender age of 63 years. Even though Arnold is the ruler/emperor of California he still can't even say he's done that! Congratulations Sylvester, you are NOW the king of action!

In honor of today’s release of the latest chapter in the heartstring-tugging life of John Rambo, Rolling Stone is honoring iconic movie themes from the 1980s, for better or worse. Here are their picks, with a bonus Frank Stallone music video (crooning the theme song to Rambo: First Blood Part II), which you can watch below:


Sly may be up there in age, but thanks to advances in technology and CGI, he can do his thing on the big screen. Whether or not he can do the same in reality is questionable. You be the judge...
