The Expendables - Alvin Fox - 01-24-2009
Has anyone heard of this? Written, directed and starring Sylvester Stallone. About a team of mercenaries sent to South America to overthrow a dictator.
Also starring Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture and Forest Whitaker. I have high hopes for this movie. So far there's only this picture. Filming starts next month and it's scheduled to come out in 2010.

I think it will be a great movie it would almost have to be with all those action stars on one movie, but then again it could be a let down but my hopes are high.

As long as it is better than Judge Dread, I'll go see all these (aging) action stars kick-hell out of each other. It'll give me something to do until Repairman Jack 1 comes out.
Heh.

I hadn't heard about it, but it sounds promising. And it =can't= be worse than the last RAMBO.

I sort of enjoyed the last Rambo, but only for a good laugh.
Through the whole movie I couldnt help laughing at how over the top it was.

"Over the top" is the right term. The sound, too. I don't know about your theater, but where I saw it, the volume was just punishing. I'm 55, but my ears are still good. I wanna keep them that way!

!!!BLASPHEMER!!!
I enjoyed the last Rambo movie...it didn't try to sugar-coat or down-play things that were (supposedly) taking place in Burma (machine gunning of village, etc.) only recently (and maybe still are).
If I want to avoid gore I can always go see a Bruce Willis movie.
But, if I'm gonna see a war movie, blue rare is fine with me.

Guess Ah's jes' too sensitive and sweet a soul...
But seriously, for that kind of flick, turn down the gratuitous gore and turn up the writing and acting. That's my preference for an action movie. Maybe it's harder than it seems...:dontknow:

Rambo is all about the blood, gore, guns and glory. I like it that way.
