THE EXPENDABLES 3 Good to Go with Mel Gibson and MMA Youngbloods

Sylvester Stallone's action flick goes for a third offering with the release of the official synopsis for THE EXPENDABLES 3 featuring Mel Gibson as the new baddie.

Official Synopsis: 

"In THE EXPENDABLES 3, Barney (Stallone), Christmas (Statham) and the rest of the team comes face-to-face with Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), who years ago co-founded The Expendables with Barney. Stonebanks subsequently became a ruthless arms trader and someone who Barney was forced to kill or so he thought. Stonebanks, who eluded death once before, now is making it his mission to end The Expendables -- but Barney has other plans. Barney decides that he has to fight old blood with new blood, and brings in a new era of Expendables team members, recruiting individuals who are younger, faster and more tech-savvy. The latest mission becomes a clash of classic old-school style versus high-tech expertise in the Expendables most personal battle yet."

Terry Crews also shared a new photo with some of the cast on the set of THE EXPENDABLES 3...

Oh and Bruce Willis is out and is replaced by Harrison Ford, which I think should make for some interesting scenes. What I'm saddened though is the non-inclusion of Chuck Norris for the third film. That guy was one of the highest points from THE EXPENDABLES 2... Yeah, him and his own, insane Chuck Norris jokes about getting bitten by a cobra and the cobra dying. 

Oh and I really hope that Jet Li stays in the film for more than 15 minutes in this movie. He was also one of the highlights from the first THE EXPENDABLES movie and his presence was sorely missed for the second. 

Finally, i neglected to mention the new recruits for the film. Most are heavy action stars back in their heyday and some are youngbloods in action movies but made a name for themselves in the world of MMA. Here are some of the new additions:

• Antonio Banderas
• Wesley Snipes
• "Vicious" Victor Ortiz
• Ronda Rousey

• Glen Powell
• Kellan Lutz

New Trailer for MACHETE KILLS Released!

Danny Trejo is back as machete swingin', ex-federale Machete in this new trailer for Robert Rodriguez's MACHETE KILLS.

So let me sum this up nicely...

Machete is tasked by the President of the United States to stop a madman from blowing up the White House with a missile (whether it was a nuke or not I'm not sure).

Here's the trailer and go way past that for my comments and raves...



Looks insane and cool. Definitely gonna watch this or look out for this.

- Machete doesn't tweet. Nor does he die of electrocution. The dude is a walking, talking WMD.
- I love that Mel Gibson's career is starting to pick up again. The one time action hero plays a terrorist bent on blowing up the White House.
- Speaking of blow, Charlie Sheen as the POTUS is both fucked up and funny. The opening for the trailer alone is just him.
- I knew it! Lady Gaga was definitely a man all along. And it's not just any other man, it's Academy Award nominee Cuba Gooding Jr.
- Sophia Vergara and her 'double D's' will kill you both figuratively and literally
- I find Michelle Rodriguez sexay with the eyepatch. Also couldn't help but think of Old Snake which is un-sexy.
- No good screen time for former Spy Kids star Alex Vega.
- Antonio Banderas is in this but this trailer kinda makes his appearance weak. 
- You know what I want to see? Machete versus Banderas' 'El Mariachi' character.
- Amber Price. whoa. 

I'm unsure who'll be the local distributor of this movie here in the RP but regardless, I'm definitely going to watch this and review it like no other review can. Now for Sofia Vergara again.
