In an article over at Cinema Blend, Gabe Toro makes a case for abolishing the PG-13 rating on the back of the PG-13 recently handed out to Sylvester Stallone‘s The Expendables 3, the first installment in the franchise not to receive an R-rating. The reason given by the MPAA for the rating was due to “violence including intense sustained gun battles and…

The project is a big-screen adaptation of the 1970s martial arts Western television show that starred David Carradine as Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin monk who came to the American West in search of his half brother.

After the Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences strides down the mountain and hurdles the Oscar winners at us golden idol worshiping heathens, I always journey out to the local mall and buy a calendar at a 90% discount – my choices this year were between 12 months of almond-eyed kittens sniffing yarn balls and…
