What you may need to know:
1. Denzel Washington is a bad-ass.
2. How much of a bad-ass? He makes that beard work.
3. Mark Wahlberg, in the right movie, kicks ass. Mark Wahlberg, in the wrong movie = Planet Of The Apes (2001).
4. We do love a buddy movie.
5. @1’40 BILL PAXTON! The only actor to be killed by all three of sci-fi’s Holy Trinity: The Terminator (1984), Alien (1986) and Predator (1987). Fact.
6. 58 year-old Denzel is getting in touch with his inner action hero. Its called Doing A Neeson. Next up, he’s getting his Edward Woodward on in The Equalizer.
7. 2’38. Cool guys never flinch at explosions.
8. The great Fred Ward is in the movie, but not in the trailer. Big Mistake.
9. Otherwise, this looks like a ton of fun.
Release Date: August
Now Sunderland’s under attack,
As Di Canio draws down some flack,
But he’s dodging the blame,
By trying to claim,
That some of his best friends are black.

Two of a series of pictures taken from the top of the 4,400 year old Great Pyramid at Giza by three Russian tourists last week.
Climbing the pyramid has been illegal since 1951 and is punishable by up to three years imprisonment. The tourists, who weren’t caught, claim they saw signatures in many languages engraved on the stones at the top, including that of a Russian tsar.
The photos went viral after being posted on the LiveJournal page of ringleader Vitaly Raskalov.
The three have since apologised for their actions.
