I know Gibson is a nazi but this movie is freaking awesome and basically went straight to DVD. I think it is one of Gibson's best movies, as far as script. He does a quality job of acting and the ending is awesome.

Love Mel. I could give a frick what the rest of Hollywood thinks of him as I would be willing to bet their skeletons are easily as bad.

Its not about other actors and directors. Mel is a jew hating drunk. and I like that about him. Im just saying, in Hollywood sooner or later youre going to need a jew or two. idc if you write, direct, finance, and act in your own shite or

He plays the villain in Expendables 3. He will be fine.

Mel never played a role with that much range.

That franchise is a perfect fit. It is a group of guys who used to be A list who are the B list but still belong on the A list.

He is also the villain in Machete Kills. I'm looking forward to that.

Mel is a lunatic but I've liked most of his movies. Even the bad ones tend to be somewhat entertaining.

He sounded unhinged on the answering machine but in fairness we don't know how much the chick messed with him to get him that unhinged. Not saying she did but well, she is a chick.

I need to give this one watch. I spend too much time rewatching old shows.
