Last time we knew, looking trashy at Fashion Week was a big no-no. But from the skankarific plunging neckline to the probably commando underneath the horrific ensemble, we have given Lindsay Lohan title of the WORST dressed person at Fashion Week...
Alright, while she might be wearing underwear, she most certainly is not wearing any pants. Sophia Bush is among the five lucky ladies to grace my stringent Top 5 list. Hell, she'd top the charts if she exposed her One Tree Hill...

The Hangover was a holdover this week in the number 1 position. The R-rated comedy should bank another $33 million over [...]
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the government,…
Rumor Mill: The Rocks Commando Remake? Megan Fox: Vampire Slayer? Bond 23 in Afghanistan?
A couple rumors are circulating the interwebs this week, so I thought I'd put together a small round-up.
First up, JoBlo caught wind of an article in the Australian magazine RCI that claims a remake of the 1980's Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic Commando is being developed. Another site, Cinefools, has also heard rumblings of a Commando reboot, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson rumored to star. Hollywood is rebooting all the other Schwarzenegger action films (Predator, Total Recall..etc) so why not Commando? And The Rock has long been compared as the Arnold of the next generation. Some might recall a mini "passing of the torch" in The Rundown. Mark this rumor as possible.
UK Newspaper The Guardian speculates that the 23rd James Bond film will feature "the poppy fields and drug barons of [Afghanistan]." Apparently the screenwriters of the next Bond adventure sought technical advice from the British embassy in Kabul, so its ...
Today we have some brand new pictures from GI JOE: RISE OF COBRA! I've been developing a real bad vibe about this movie and after thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I've come to the conclusion that if GI JOE isn't awesome, Stephen Sommers should have his directing privileges revoked. You have a huge action movie featuring hot chicks in skin-tight commando outfits and ninjas. A llama wouldn't mess that up.

Just yesterday we posted an update on the previously announced remake of Total Recall [1], and one of the reasons why I questioned the feasibility of this particular remake is that the original was largely built around the appeal and star power of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Well, it looks like yet another Schwarzenegger film is up for a possible redo as well: the 1985 action flick Commando.
According to JoBlo [2], an article in an Australian magazine called RCI claims that a Commando remake is currently in development. There are no further details to be had at this time (and in fact, I haven't even been able to verify that this magazine exists) so I would definitely take it with a grain of salt. At this rate, however, I wouldn't be surprised if every single Schwarzenegger flick had been remade by the time he gets out of office! At least the Terminator, Conan and Predator franchises have a mythology to them that goes beyond one single character. The only thing that makes Commando worth watching is 100% Arnold. All I'm saying is that if they do remake it, they better maintain the steel drum soundtrack. What do you think, is Commando worth remaking? What other Arnold Schwarzenegger flicks could use an update?

Remember when I promised to remake you last? I lied.
Hollywood is slowly working its way through history (distant or recent) for material to remake, revamp or reboot, and even a masterpiece like COMMANDO is not immune.
'Katy' forwarded us a sidebar bit from an Aussie mag called RCI, claiming that COMMANDO was being eyeballed for the redo treatment (right along with action flicks like CLIFFHANGER and RED DAWN). Not...

Review: After 20 years, Bionic Commando is back at last!
Released in 1988 for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Bionic Commando still manages to elicit longing flashbacks in gamers who've played it. It's been 20 years, but the game is back in all its bionic glory with its first full-fledged sequel.
The side-scrolling approach of the original is gone, replaced with a third-person, Prince of Persia-style perspective and next-gen graphics worthy of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. As before, players control Nathan Spencer, a bionically-enhanced super soldier who was sent to prison as a fall guy after the events of the original game. As the game opens, he's bailed out by his former commander, given back his old gear, and sent into the field to deal with a terrorist attack on Ascension City.
I must be getting old in video game years (how do those compare with their canine counterparts?), if it’s been over two decades since I first rappelled NES buildings with a robotic arm.
Twenty-two years later, to be exact, and not much has changed since Capcom’s original ‘Bionic Commando’ graced arcade screens across the world. While [...]
