The year is 1891.
American actor Lawrence Talbott (Benicio Del Toro) receives a letter from his brother Ben's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), informing him that Ben has met a terrible death at the hands of … something. And terrible was Ben's death indeed — the film begins with his slaughter, and it isn't for the [...]

The first two Mission: Impossible movies were a little too pretentious for my tastes.
But along came the trailer for Mission: Impossible III , which felt … different. In a good way.

I told you the storm was coming.
I'd offer you my umbrella, but I don't have one. Don't want one. I prefer to soak in all of this amazing news as it happens.

The woods behind my parents' house in Elizabeth, Indiana, were home to some of the most ridiculous superhero movies that never happened, all of them starring me, and all of them made up by me as I went along.
I spent lots of time zipping between trees in my Captain America Underoos, slinging around a garbage [...]

Alexander Nevsky — the actor, author, producer, and bodybuilder with whom my writing partner Kevin Rice and I are scripting what's going to be one hell of a Hercules movie — is beginning his 2010 as busy as always.
