...Beck. Jean-Claude Van Damme is mostly reduced to made-for-video cheapies. Schwarzenegger's in the public sector. Jackie Chan still makes movies on both sides of the Pacific, but a lifetime of martial-arts exertions has rendered him creaky. Only Willis remains - the last action hero. (Clint Eastwood doesn't count; he came two decades before these guys and, besides, he's, like, immortal...
...further. In such hits as Old School, Anchorman, Talladega Nights and Blades of Glory, he plays overage children who try to act like adults, with their steely intonations and take-charge attitude. His usual character is the kind of fellow who learned how real men behave by watching Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford movies - Hollywood, not life, has been his teacher, and he's not such a quick study. Endless setbacks and critiques have not dented Ferrell man's lunatic belief in himself. He strides manfully forward, his eye on the horizon - thus never noticing the open manhole...
...wartime films from the U.S. and France (it does absorb some of the aura of François Truffaut's 1980 The Last Metro), is really, as Tarantino has said, "a spaghetti Western but with World War II iconography."

Now he's the star of Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic Inglourious Basterds. So, to fanciers of ambitious films and soulful beefcake, Pitt and Depp will be battling for the title of Sexiest 45-Year-Old to Walk Up the Red Carpet. (See Brad Pitt...
...every "New York" movie was filmed in either Vancouver or Toronto. But the Canadian exchange rate doesn't favor Hollywood anymore, and Michigan's tax rebate of up to 42% for productions that hire locally is the most generous in the country. Nearly 70 movies - including Clint Eastwood's 2008 hit Gran Torino - have been shot or been scheduled to be filmed here since the state passed its tax breaks last April. In 2007 film crews spent about $4 million in Michigan. Last year that figure was more than $100 million, and it could quadruple in 2009. (See pictures...
