Ahem.

Review: 'Elite Squad: The Enemy Within' Is A Frantic, Expertly Knotty Thriller | Filmmakers, Film Industry, Film Festivals, Awards & Movie Reviews | indieWIRE

But "Elite Squad: The Enemy Within" aims to be more than just some action movie, even if it is an action movie with a potential Best Foreign Language Feature nomination pedigree. It looks to be about what causes the violence and unrest in these communities – the power of the people pulling the strings and the unending cycle of corruption that, as the movie comes to a close, keeps on chugging. On this front, 'The Enemy Within' mostly succeeds. Like the first film, kneejerk criticism will pour in that the film is championing a response to crime that borders on fascism, but that really isn't the case. Though putting on dazzling display of technical proficiency, the movie's heart is as big as an armored truck. [B+]

HIGHLY recommended. One of my favorites this year, easy.

While on the set of Takashi Shimizu’s upcoming aviation thriller 7500 I got to sit down with a few other journalists and Jamie Chung to discuss her role. We’ll have the full interview and a set visit write up closer to the film’s release. Today we have a short update from Chung on Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and his Eli Roth and Quentin Tarantino produced Kung-Fu film, The Man with the Iron Fists. The movie takes place in feudal China and centers on a small village’s weapon-maker who must defend its peoples. RZA wrote the pic alongside Roth, and the cast also includes Russell Crowe, Lucy Liu, and Pam Grier. Chung discussed the film’s original four-hour cut, the idea of splitting it in half, RZA’s famous obsession with obscure Asian action films and reveals that they’re eyeing an August 2012 release. Hit the jump to see what she had to say.

Fingers crossed for that one.

George Miller Says He’s Writing a New MAD MAX Trilogy; Also Working on Animated Movie FUR BRIGADE

Miller has, in fact, written a whole new trilogy. “We started with [Fury Road], but we then started to do a second story and a third,” he says. “We’ve written the script for the second (Mad Max: Furiosa) and almost finished the third. We never intended to, they were part of the exploration of the characters.” Tom Hardy is still set to play post-apocalyptic warrior Mad Max Rockatansky. There’s no word if Miller plans to shoot all three films back-to-back-to-back...
