‘The Expendables’: Schwarzenegger, Stallone Ham It Up

By James Hirsen

These days the news can be really depressing. The economy is getting kicked around and our quality of life seems like it’s going in the tank. Time for a good escapist movie. Just our luck! A throwback flick arrives this week, and it captures the excitement of the 1980s action movies. It’s called “The Expendables,” a film co-written and directed by Rocky himself, Sylvester Stallone.
