“The Expendables” Comes in @ #1
On April 29, 2010, Sam Littman, over at The Daily Orange, posted his list of the 10 Blockbuster Films to see this Summer. Coming in at #1 is The Expendables. Here’s why:
1. “The Expendables”
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis, Randy Couture, Mickey Rourke and Arnold Schwarzenegger — yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger — star in Stallone’s tale of mercenaries attempting to overthrow a South American dictator. It might just be the greatest summer movie ever conceived.

“Rocky” Series Makes the Cut
On April 29, 2010, Mike Gorman listed in his weekly column his choices for the Top Ten Movies Series. Coming in at # 9 [Number 9? And how did Rambo not make the cut?] is the Rocky series. Here’s what Gorman had to say:
Sure, sometimes the Rocky films lose sight of their core ideals and veer off in strange directions that involve obnoxious robot butlers and training in a cabin in the Russian wastelands, but all it takes is that bell to clang in the ring and they have our attention again. The story of Rocky Balboa’s rise to stardom in the boxing world was iconic and Sylvester Stallone carried on his shoulders the hopes and dreams of a nation that had seen brighter days. Rocky, in all of his battles, reminds you that the underdog can reign victorious in the end and also that sometimes those victories can be too much, and take you away from your roots. Sounds like I am all over the place when it comes to this franchise and it is true. I believe the greatest thing about the Rocky series is the journey that we have taken with the characters, from rags to riches and back again. This is what a truly successful series about to me.

“Judge Dredd” Makes the Cut
On April 26, 2010, io9.com posted a piece titled The Top 10 Weirdest Songs from Superhero Movies. Coming in at #3 was Dredd Song by The Cure. Here’s what they had to say:
3.) “Dredd Song” by The Cure (Judge Dredd; 1995)
Why was “Dredd Song” such a perfect fit for the Judge Dredd movie? Because Robert Smith’s emotive warbling had about as much in common with the original 2000 AD as Sly Stallone spandex-rassling with Armand Assante for 90 minutes. Why didn’t they just use Anthrax’s “I Am The Law,” the best song about Judge Dredd ever written? Still, this song is solid.

“Demolition Man” Makes the Cut
On April 25, 2010, Shadowlocked.com posted a piece called Top 10 Scenes of Claustrophobic Horror in Movies. Coming in at #7 was Demolition Man. Here’s why it was chosen:
There’s nothing in itself terribly claustrophobic about the notion of suspended animation, so frequently used in films such as Planet Of The Apes (1968) and the same year’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. You’re out cold anyway, right? The horror of unjustly-imprisoned cop Sly Stallone in Demolition Man is that he later recounts that he was conscious throughout the many decades of his aspic imprisonment.
