If you’re like me, you miss the good-ole days. You know; back when the world was simpler, polar bears weren’t endangered and Mel Gibson starred in movies that involved shooting and high-kicking people in the face. Well, the polar bears might still be screwed, but at least Mel seems to be coming around! The small victories are sometimes the most important.
After his recent turn as a cop who beats up people in EDGE OF DARKNESS, Mel is also looking to star in a new spy movie called COLD WARRIOR. I know what you’re thinking:
This movie is actually about an ex-Cold War spy (that’s Mel) who must come out of retirement and joins forces with a younger (i.e. lamer) spy to thwart a terrorist threat.
This is the kind of stuff that I really dig! It’s a simple premise that is basically just an excuse to have Mel Gibson beat-up terrorists. I personally don’t think that Mel really needs an excuse, but I’m not his publicist. Anyway; the movie is also being directed by some dude named Shane Black who also wrote LETHAL WEAPON. This is a good sign.
