The Expendables!

Here is a trailer for Sylvester Stallone's newest film, THE EXPENDABLES. The concept of this movie is nothing short of amazing. Stallone has used his clout to get the biggest action stars together, even a busy governor with a failing economy. The cast includes Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Couture (UFC legend), Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even the late Brittany Murphy has a small role in the film.

If you are into action films, especially ones which have a certain amount of playfulness to them, I would recommend checking out COBRA. It is one of his lesser known films and considered to be a flop, but it really is quite good. (It's also on watch instantly on Netflix.)

I have always been a big fan of Sylvester Stallone, but over the years I have realized that his fan group is pretty small. Frankly, I just don't think people really know his full body of work, or know how to really interpret it. I think the biggest problem people have with Stallone is his franchise films, ie Rocky and Rambo, which he has consistently reverted to throughout his career. But, we have to give him credit, he is an actor/writer/director/producer and was one of the highest grossing actors in the 80's and help define action films as we know them.
