Edie Falco is heading to Pandora!

Edie Falco is the latest actor to join James Cameron's mammoth movie project, the sequels to his 2009 hit, Avatar. The star of Nurse Jackie and The Sopranos will play General Ardmore, a commander responsible for the Resources Development Administration's (RDA) interests. Given the military title it's being speculated that her character will be one of the franchise's evil villains. She'll likely be in charge of their private military/security wing, possibly Colonel Quaritch's (Stephen Lang) replacement or superior. Lang is said to appear in the sequels, although it's unknown in what capacity.

James Cameron commented on Twitter regarding the casting:

Edie Falco is one of the greats - I can't wait to watch her kick some ass on the big screen.

Currently we are unaware of which sequels Falco will appear in. But considering the timing of the announcement, and the fact that filming has supposedly completed on 2 and 3, can we assume that Falco will not appear until later in the franchise's run? Maybe her character will be brought in to try and restore the RDA's position on Pandora, by bringing the planet under human control.

Road House | A Moustache Double-Bill

Firstly, I should probably point out that up until recently the high-kicking 1989 cult classic has eluded me - or maybe it was me eluding it. Who knows? Anyway, seeing that Doug Liman and Jake Gyllenhaal have taken it upon themselves to remake Road House and put a 21st century spin on solving every problem by kicking, I figured; 'why not make it a double feature?' View the two movies for the first time one after the other and see how they measure up. Naturally I took the chronological approach, starting with the original movie and then moving on to the remake. Watching this cult classic for the first time, I was struck by how much it feels like a feature length episode of The A-Team . Typical 80's good guy arrives in town, where he comes to blows with the rich guy/your typical A-Team bad guy who thinks he owns the place. Seriously, stick that famous opening monologue on the beginning and have Patrick Swayze's 'Dalton' build some weird weapon from parts acquir...

Jason Bourne: Spoiler Review

I don't usually write spoiler filled reviews because I don't see the point. But considering my not so positive review of Jason Bourne, one of the most highly anticipated movies of Summer 2016, I thought it might be worth trying to explain why I reached the verdict I did. If you haven't seen this movie stop reading because there are spoilers ahead. Click here to see the spoiler free review. The movie begins with Bourne in Greece. He's laying low, making money by competing in underground fights and still struggling with his past. He lacks purpose which is making him miserable. Nicky Parsons on the other hand is busy hacking the CIA in order to expose their black ops programs. So far so good. But when Nicky finds something out about Jason's (or should I say David's) past, she heads to Greece to find him. Unfortunately her activities have drawn the attention of CIA Agent Heather Lee (Alicia Vikander), a cyber ops specialist who begins to track her. Using a ...
