Pick(S) Of The Week

The Arrival of Wang (DVD)

When Chinese-language interpreter Gaia (Francesca Cuttica) is offered a job that pays a fortune, she can’t believe her luck. This time, however, is going to be a little different. After being escorted to a secret location in Rome, she is locked inside a pitch-black room where she is asked to interpret the harsh interrogation of the eponymous ‘Wang’. Who is Wang and what does he want? Disturbed by the way the interrogation is conducted by...

Image copyright 2008 S. Granitz/WireImage.com I just got off the horn with one of my favorite character actors Bruce Greenwood. If you don’t know his name, you know his face. Dude’s been in everything. And he’s usually playing the President or the head of the CIA or something. (Unless it is an Atom Egoyan film, in which case he plays a pedophile.) We’re most excited, though, as he recently wrapped production on a little picture called Star Trek where he plays the pre-Kirk captain of the Enterprise, Christopher Pike. If you are only a middling Trekkie, that’s the dude with the burned-off face. In our interview Greenwood talks about the hilarious security measures taken on Trek, about his new DVD Cyborg Soldier with Ufc champ Rich Franklin and about being a classic entertainment “That Guy.” Trekkie’s note: Greenwood does confirm a possible break...

Not to long ago, Ugo premiered the trailer for Ufc champ Rich Franklin’s acting debut Cyborg Soldier. Well, for those of you who saw that trailer and thought, “man, this is going to be great!” I have some bad news for you: A. you should consult with your local psychiatrist and B. the movie makes The Marine look like Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet (Now that I think of it, wouldn’t you love to see John Cena in that role? Hmm…) Cyborg Soldier takes the oh-so-original concept of a half-man/half-human killing machine codenamed: I.S.A.A.C. (that stands for something that makes the name Isaac work, whatever) as he escapes from the laboratory, killing every puny scientist in his way. Pursued by lead scientist Simon Hart’s (Bruce Greenwood) cronies (who I swear were led by this guy), I.S.A.A.C. runs into lady...

In 1989 there was a film called Cyborg (JCVD in the Maison!!!). In 1998 the great Paul W. S. Anderson made a film called Soldier. And now, following this once-a-decade tradition, comes the film Cyborg Soldier. It was all leading to THIS. Cyborg Soldier, directed by celebrated stunt coordinator John Stead and co-written by John Flock, the genius behind the Fortress franchise, is a movie about...I dunno.....a soldier programmed to kill who goes in too deep or something. It’ll be out on DVD on October 7. It stars UFC champ Rich Franklin and Bruce Greenwood who plays Sarek in the upcoming Star Trek film, so that’s enough of a selling point for me. Enjoy the world premiere of the trailer!
