Jackie Chan reboots the Police Story series once again this Christmas. Police Story 2013 takes place in Mainland China instead of Hong Kong. And much like 2004's New Police Story, this film is darker and grittier than the original 1985 film. Jackie Chan even had his hair cut short to look like a Mainland Chinese officer. Police Story 2013 hits Chinese cinemas on Christmas Eve.

There's enough interest from some in this site on the ongoing Monogatari series for it to have it's own thread and thereby keep it from monopolizing other threads. Let's keep it all here, TV series, films, novels and those fine looking 1/8 Senjougahara PVC figures too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTgs9rwrxMg Robot & Frank Park Pictures/Stage 6 Films/Samuel Goldwyn Films, 2012 Directed by Jake Schreier Written by Christopher D. Ford Running Time: 89 minutes Rated PG-13 for profanity. Cast Frank Langella (Skeletor in Masters of the Universe, Jaro Essa in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) as Frank Weld Peter Sarsgaard (Hector in Green Lantern, Cpl. Troy in Jarhead) as Robot (voice) Rachel Ma as Robot (body) Susan Sarandon (Janet in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Louise in Thelma & Louise) as Jennifer James Marsden (Scott/Cyclops in X-Men, Richard White in Superman Returns) as Hunter Weld Liv Tyler (Grace in Armageddon, Betty Ross in The Incredible Hulk) as Madison Weld Jeremy Strong as Jake Jeremy Sisto (Billy in Six Feet Under, Bruce Wayne/Batman in Justice League: The New Frontier) as Sheriff Rowlings Katherine Waterson as the Shop girl Synopsis Frank Weld is a retired cat burglar living in a quiet upstate New York town. Aside from dealing with the technological changes occurring in his town, he has to cope with rapid memory deterioration and dementia. As a means of therapeutic care, Frank's son Hunter purchases him a robot to do the daily chores and maintain his well-being. At first, Frank does not get along with the robot, but when he discovers the robot's inability to distinguish right from wrong, he programs it to pick locks and crack safes to get back into the old game of burglary. Lowdown It's amazing how someone can tell a very good sci-fi story without breaking the bank or resorting to excessive CG effects. Done on a meager budget of US$2.5 million, Robot & Frank is a lighthearted tale that relies only on storytelling and a solid performance by Frank Langella. Of course, it also helps that Susan Sarandon is in it too. Despite looking like a cheap ASIMO knockoff, the robot is a very convincing performer on-screen. Hollywood should really learn from this film, as it beats about anything 100 times its budget. Rating: A References The Internet Movie Database

They walk a thin line between good and evil. They're not in it for fame or recognition, just mostly for themselves. Nevertheless, they epitomize the word "badass" on screen. They are antiheroes, and this thread is dedicated to them. To start, here are 10 of the best antiheroes of all time. Kurt Russell as Snake Plissken (Escape from New York) "I don't give a fǚck about your war... or your President." Former U.S. Special Forces operative who is the youngest soldier to be decorated by the President during World War III. After his tour of duty, he robs the Federal Reserve Bank of Colorado and is arrested before being given a life sentence. Upon his arrival in New York, Snake is given one last chance at freedom by Bob Hauk when Air Force One crashes into Manhattan Island maximum security prison. Snake has 24 hours to rescue the President; failure to do so will result in a couple of capsules exploding in his carotid arteries, killing him instantly. Mel Gibson as Max Rockatansky (Mad Max series) "The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel. It'd take you ten minutes to hack through it with this. Now, if you're lucky, you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go!" An officer of Australia's Main Force Police (MFP), until the biker gang Zed Runners burn his partner alive and kill his wife and son. He loses his humanity after going on a one-man rampage and killing Toe-Cutter and his gang. Several years later, Max regains part of his humanity after helping a group of denizens flee with their supply of oil from Lord Humungus' gang. Clint Eastwood as The Man with No Name (The Dollars Trilogy) "Get three coffins ready. My mistake, four coffins." Although nicknamed "Joe", "Manco" and "Blondie" in The Dollars Trilogy, this lone cowboy is best known without a name. He travels into a town overrun by two rival gangs and stirs trouble between them, eventually wiping them out of the town. Later in his adventures, he goes on a treasure hunt to recover $200,000 in gold during the Civil War. Toshiro Mifune as Sanjuro Kuwabatake (Yojimbo) "I'm not dying yet. I have to kill quite a few men first." This nameless ronin was the core inspiration for The Man with No Name. Harrison Ford as Han Solo (The Star Wars saga) "Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're lookin' for passage to the Alderaan system?" It's sad how kids these days no longer see Han Solo as an antihero due to George Lucas' edits on Episode IV: A New Hope. Al Pacino as Tony Montana (Scarface) "Say hello to my little friend!" A Cuban immigrant who starts out washing dishes then moves up in his career by killing drug lord Frank Lopez and taking over his business. Although considered a villain for his drug smuggling business, Tony knows when to say no to an ordered hit, as he prevents a car bombing when he notices the target is with his family. This leads to the downfall of Tony's empire, as Bolivian cartel lord Alejandro Sosa sends in assassins to Tony's mansion for a shootout. Jean Reno as Léon Montana (Léon) "No women. No kids. That's the rules." French assassin in New York who spends his free time exercising, drinking milk, watering his houseplant and watching Gene Kelly movies. He is friends with his neighbor Mathilda, but gets himself in a world of trouble when he shelters her after DEA agent Norman Stansfield and his goons massacre her family. Clint Eastwood as Harry Callahan (Dirty Harry series) "I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?" San Francisco Inspector who has no problems with breaking the law to enforce it in the streets. Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver) "You talkin' to me?" Former U.S. Marine who works as a New York cabbie to compensate for his chronic insomnia. One day, he falls in love with Betsy, a volunteer for Presidential Candidate Charles Palantine. He takes her out on a date, but she dumps him after he brings her to watch a porno film. In return, he plots to assassinate Palantine, but turns away at the last minute. Meanwhile, Travis meets 12-year-old prostitute Iris and tries to convince her to go back to her parents. After the failed assassination attempt, Travis storms into Iris' apartment and kills her pimp Sport and his thugs. Ryan Gosling as The Driver (Drive) "There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand? Good. And you won't be able to reach me on this phone again." Automotive mechanic and stunt driver during the day, this nameless antihero is a hired criminal driver by trade. He befriends his neighbor Irene and her son Benicio, but learns that Irene's recently released husband Standard Gabriel owes protection money to Albanian gangster Cook. The Driver offers to help Standard do a job at a pawnshop, but the job goes sour when Standard is shot dead by the pawnshop owner and Cook's men hunt him down. After interrogating Cook, the Driver discovers that the heist was orchestrated by Jewish mobster Nino Paolozzi, who stole the money from an East Coast Mafia. Intent on keeping Irene and Benicio safe for good, the Driver hunts down Nino and Bernie Rose, with the money as leverage.
