Recently Den of Geek looked at 9 Actors That Have Played the Same Role 6 Times.
Here’s a couple of questions…
Have any actresses played the same role 6 times? Halle Berry as Storm — have there been six appearances? Others?
What actor/actress has played the same character the most times in movies? And how many times?
According to Rotten Tomatoes these Ten Movies that are rated 100% Fresh.
So I’ve seen 5 of 10 (if you count both Toy Stories as one). Of the five, I really liked 3.
What’s your average?
SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back with his new Expendables 3 piece. When Gerardo created the piece, Willis was still attached.
I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, and know that I can see more of his art here.
Here are two new posters for Stallone & Schwarzenegger’s Escape Plan.
I’m more impressed with this poster to Parkland than the original that was released. I’m totally impressed with the cast and story…
PARKLAND is a retelling of the JFK assassination as told by the many affected by it on the day it transpired, including doctors, nurses, cameramen, F.B.I. and Secret Service agents, and the Vice President who would take control of the nation after that fateful day.
JoBlo has more details and stills that make me think that Parkland is going to be a winner.
Dave Wachter is back and he brought his take on Sly from the Bullet to the Head. I met Dave a few years ago and became an instant fan. I wasn’t the only one to discover Dave’s fantastic sketches! How can you not like a great guy who is a terrific artist?
At HeroesCon this year I asked Dave to draw Sly from his first major movie, the Lords of Flatbush and another piece of Sly from his latest film, Bullet to the Head. Last week, you saw Dave’s take on Sly as Stanley Kowalski, so this week we have Sly as Jimmy Bobo.
You can see more of Dave’s art at his site. – Craig
Yahoo Movies recently posted their list of 15 Real Life Tough Guys. Here’s their list and my thoughts…
I have just one question. How could Charles Bronson not have made this list?
I was just five when President Kennedy was assassinated. I was on vacation with my grandparents in Florida. My grandfather had taken me with him on a quick trip to a supermarket. A man came running into the store yelling that the president had been shot. All of the adults seemed scared. We hustled back to the hotel and my grandparents stayed glued to the tv to get the latest updates.
As the years passed, there was always a lot of talk about “who was really behind” the assassination. Was it the mob? LBK? Castro? With each passing year it seemed another theory rose up to explain how the most powerful man in the world was killed. I read each theory and filed it away. None seemed more plausible than it was a lone nut with a high powered rife.
Still, I was always willing to give the next theory a listen.
Now there’s a new documentary that is …
based on the work of Colin McLaren, a veteran Australian police detective who has undertaken a four-year investigation into the killing.
His theories are based on the work of Howard Donahue, who spent two decades probing the assassination and whose work was presented in the book Mortal Error: The Shot That Killed JFK, by Bonar Menninger.
This theory postulates that Oswald fired the first shot that hit President Kennedy. Then as Secret Service Agent George Hickey drew his weapon and jumped on the back of the President’s Limo, his gun accidentally discharged shooting President Kennedy in the back of the head. This theory also explains the…
…the different ballistic profiles of the two bullets that struck Kennedy… Mr Menninger insisted that they do not believe that Agent Hickey intentionally fired at Kennedy. Rather, the Huffington Post reported him as saying, ‘this was a tragic accident in the heat of the moment.’
But the pair do allege that the government moved swiftly, with the help of Kennedy’s brother Robert, to cover up the Secret Service’s involvement and save the agency from embarrassment.
While I don’t think that this new theory is more likely than a lone gunman with a high-powered rifle, I am willing to give it a listen. JFK: The Smoking Gun will be broadcast on the Reelz Channel on November 3.
Thanks to Joey and the Huffington Post for the link.

In this rare and too short interview with Lee Marvin he talks about everything from his M-Squad days to making [what was to be his last film] Delta Force.
Although the Lee Marvin interview probably won’t be new to him, today’s post goes out to Chris Mills, the co-creator [along with Rick Burchett] of the free weekly webcomic Gravedigger.
Double Indemnity is one of my favorite noir movies. I’ve seen it a bunch of times.
Raymond Chandler, who wrote just seven novels, is one of the founding fathers of modern detective fiction. I’ve read a lot of Chandler and knew he co-wrote the screenplay [along with director Billy Wilder] adaptation of James M. Cain’s novel of the same name.
Until recently I didn’t know that Chandler had a cameo in Double Indemnity. What makes this an even greater find is that there are no known film or television interviews with Chandler!
Thanks and a tip of my fedora to Adrian Wootten and The Guardian.
I’m not a fan of motion comics.
I am a fan of David Twohy and Vin Diesel’s character Riddick.
So, here’s a motion comic to bridge the gap between Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick and Riddick.
Oh, and if like me, you don’t care for motion comics, here is a short interview for you with Vin Diesel who speaks about Riddick.
I like this poster for Gravity.
I think I’d dig it even more if there was part of the spaceship or tether floating in the foreground.
This piece was originally posted at iFanboy as one of their choices for Sketches of the Week.
Cool idea. Cool exection.
Franchesco Francavilla was listed as the artist. No surprise there. Franchesco does neat pieces like this all the time.
Funny thing is, Franchesco wrote in to say he didn’t draw it. Chris Schweizer did.
iFanboy corrected their post. The one thing that didn’t need to be changed is that Bronson as Wolverine is worthy of Sketch of the Week honors.
