August 17, 2011
To tell the truth, I'm on the fence with this guy. On the one hand, he's marvelously gifted as both an actor and a director. On the other hand, he tries way too hard to be an indie critical darling. His … more

July 31, 2011

This is an action star the way action stars were meant to be - brimming with movie star immunity! He turns awesome catch phrases, and you really do get the impression - even in his lightest roles - that … more
