If you’ve watched any of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s early movies then you have probably seen Sven-Ole Thorsen, since the guy has been one of Arnold’s longest collaborators and has been acting and performing stunts for years. He retired from acting in 2011 and is currently in his 70s, but in his heyday, Thorsen was one of the big guys on the set with Arnold and he did take on other roles as well throughout his career. Let’s be fair and say that the guy isn’t the best actor since he has a very set number of different looks, but when the

The week is strong with the Hollywood idea that one good movie will keep your career going endlessly. M. Night Shyamalan in back this weekend with The Visit, a fairly goofy-looking found footage horror flick about grandparents gone wrong, and now Kevin Smith is teasing the production of Mallrats 2.
Apparently, the film will be shooting in January, and Smith has found his mall. The Exton Square Mall in Pennsylvania will, for whatever reason, be the home to a slew of returning actors. The story goes that Jason Lee, Jeremy London, Ethan Suplee, Shannen Doherty, Michael Rooker, Renee Humphrey, Joey Lauren Adams, Sven-Ole Thorsen, Scott Mosier, Bryan Johnson, and many more will be in the film, with Smith, naturally, returning as Silent Bob.
Here’s what Smith had to say on Facebook –
We found our Mall, y’all! This January, the @extonsquaremall in Exton, Pa will star in #Mallrats 2! @jayandsilentbob are coming to Chester County!

We may remember Independence Day, The Matrix, The Phantom Menace. But what about these forgotten 90s sci-fi films? And are any worth seeing?
Think back to the science fiction cinema of the 1990s, and some of the decade's biggest box-office hits will immediately spring to mind: The Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Men In Black, Armageddon and Terminator 2 were all in the top 20 most lucrative films of the era.
But what about the sci-fi films of the 1990s that failed to make even close to the same cultural and financial impact of those big hitters? These are the films this list is devoted to - the flops, the straight-to-video releases, the low-budget and critically-derided. We've picked 50 live-action films that fit these criteria, and dug them up to see whether they're still worth watching in the 21st century.
So here's a mix of everything from hidden classics to forgettable dreck,...

A few weeks back, the prospect of a Mallrats sequel was hinted at in a cheeky Facebook post by director Kevin Smith. In the short period to follow, the project has gone from “a glint in the eye” to an official production on Smith’s forthcoming slate. Fitting in into his hectic year ahead saw Clerks 3 take precedent, with Mallrats 2 earmarked for an early 2016 shoot.
My how the tables have turned, as Smith announced on his weekly Hollywood Babble-On show (via Slash Film) that the two sequels are now being shot in the reverse order. Due to some timetable logistics, Mallrats 2 is set to shoot this year and Clerks 3 will take the early 2016 slot.
Read on for a transcription of Smith’s comments, but beware, there’s a major plot spoiler buried in the middle:
We’ve been putting together Mallrats 2….It’s been a real, like Blues...

Talk of Mallrats 2 continues to escalate into further bouts of social media madness as director Kevin Smith has opted to use Twitter as a casting announcement tool. In the last couple of weeks, the status of the shopping-centric sequel has gone from non-existent to very much on Smith’s upcoming production slate. And of course, as the film falls within his very own View Askewniverse, he’s intent on roping in all of the main players from the 1995 caper to reprise their roles. Which is just plain brilliant.
So far, the returnees are: Jason Lee as Brodie Bruce, Shannen Doherty as Renee, Smith as Silent Bob, Jason Mewes as his mouthy buddy Jay, Ethan Suplee as Willam, Stan Lee as himself and Michael Rooker as the pretzel-eating Mr. Svenning.
Ready for more? Here’s Smith’s latest batch of confirmed recruits:
T.S. Quint proposes a return to the Jaws ride!

Kevin Smith’s retirement from filmmaking has obviously been put on hold for the foreseeable future. In addition to new movies, he’s revisiting the ones he cut his teeth on. Clerks 3 is happening, and now that Mallrats 2 is in the works, Smith is reuniting much of the cast, adding three more familiar faces. Over the last few days, Smith has taken to social media to drop the news that Joey Lauren Adams, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Renee Humphrey are all returning to the mall for more retail-based shenanigans. They play local gossip Gwen, junior Masters and Johnson Trish the Dish, and the contraband-planting security guard La Fours, respectively. While none of these three are major characters in Smith’s 1995 sophomore film, they are key parts of the world the writer/director has always sought to create. These three are just a few of the colorful personalities Smith ...
