"Expendables" Blasts To The Top

Mid-life crisis anyone?

The action ensemble flick "Expendables" hit the top box-office spot grossing $35 million during its opening weekend. People are calling it a big comeback for Sylvester Stallone who starred, co-wrote and directed the production which features the biggest names of the action genre, past and present.

From the roster of actors alone, one can expect an overkill of action, explosions and sheer entertaining mayhem. Among those with Stallone are Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Eric Robert, Steve Austin, Randy Couture, Terry Crews, Bruce Willis and a special appearance by Arnold Schwarzenneger. It's like Ocean's Eleven, The A-Team, WWE and all three Rambo movies rolled into one. That is one crazy cast!

I'm cutting this post short. On my way to see the "Expendables" right now! Catch other Hollywood stories with our clips for the day. What did you think about the movie?

Hollywood To Turn 2011 Green

Green is good.

It's going to be a green year this 2011 as Hollywood churns up two green heroes in "Green Hornet" and "Green Lantern".

Here's the preview for "Green Hornet" starring Knocked Up's Seth Rogen with Jay Chou and Cameron Diaz. As for a peek at Ryan Reynolds in "Green Lantern", we just have to wait a little more for the original trailer to go online.

Personally, I was hoping for a darker more mysterious Green Hornet. Expect a heavy dose of wit and double meanings for this version, what with Rogen and Diaz in tandem.
