New Expendables Movie Bringing Back Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, And More With “The Expendables,” the idea of a bunch of Hollywood action stars joining forces in an Avengers-sized extravaganza has always been as ridiculous as it is appealing to audiences and studio executives, the latter of whom who see nothing but dollar signs at the prospects of gathering together all these icons of decades past, and cashing in.

Patrick Stewart Was Very Picky About His Star Trek: First Contact Role Of all the feature films based on “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” “Star Trek: First Contact” is my favorite (it even takes the top spot as my favorite “Trek” film). “First Contact” focuses on the trauma Captain Jean-Luc Picard suffered when he was assimilated into the Borg, and how the Enterprise’s quest to stop the Borg from rewriting history unveils a deep-seated rage within the normally calm Picard....
