Tony “Lip” Vallelonga (Viggo Mortensen) is an Italian-American bouncer at New York’s Copa nightclub, a classy joint popular with the mob community. After some serious fisticuffs, the Copa is closed for refurbishment, and Tony finds himself on a sabbatical. He can’t support his family taking odd jobs and indulging in eating competitions (however magnificent an eater he may be); so when the opportunity arises to drive a wealthy musician, Dr Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), on a tour of the Deep South, he jumps at the chance. Except Tony never jumps as such – he kind of jiggles.

An unashamedly crass slob, Tony is chosen...

Peter Farrelly’s Green Book is an uplifting and compelling dramatic feature from one half comedic duo of the Farrelly brothers. Directors of cult and financially acclaimed classics such as Kingpin, Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary, Green Book is the first foray into dramatic territory. The end result is undoubtedly conventional, yes. But a splendidly crafted poignant rendition of a comely picture…

In 1962, Tony “Tony Lip” Vallelonga, a tough bouncer, is looking for work with his nightclub is closed for renovations. The most promising offer turns out to be the driver for the African-American classical pianist Don Shirley for a concert...

Quietly released in 2009, suspense thriller The Steam Experiment may be Val Kilmer's strangest film yet. Ryan takes a closer look...

In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Val Kilmer's played Jim Morrison, Doc Holliday, Simon Templar and Batman. He was Iceman in Top Gun. He was Moses in The Prince Of Egypt, Elvis in True Romance, and the voice of Kitt in the 2008 Knightrider TV movie.

Val Kilmer's well known for these roles and many, many more - but one that somehow flew under our radar until now was that of mad global warming doomsday theorist James Pettis in the 2009 film, The Steam Experiment.

Six years have passed since Relic’s Company of Heroes was released. Six years is a long time, but despite this, the Rts remains popular, remaining one of the highest scoring games in the genre, and still attracting a large number of players. Indeed, speaking before an audience of video game journalists at the publishers’ pre-E3 event, Thq Evp Danny Bilson argued that Company of Heroes “set the benchmark for the tactical Rts.”

Things have changed in those six years, and Company of Heroes 2 will enter a real-time strategy market that’s increasingly embracing the free-to-play model where spending hours gathering resources – or using your own money to buy them – is the norm. Thankfully, for Rts fans, Company of Heroes 2 is definitely not following this path, with this first look demonstrating that if anything, the tactical gameplay and realism of the original aren’t just still there, but they’ve...

Below you'll find the trailer for the DVD release of The Chaos Experiment (formerly The Steam Experiment), which arrives on DVD August 4th from Genius Products. Val Kilmer plays a former university professor who overheats his hostages to prove that humans will devolve into chaos under the pressures of global warming. He tells a detective (Assante) that their location will be revealed if his hypothesis is printed as the local paper's front-page headline. The six potential victims are a former pro football player (Roberts), a former actress (Brown), a nurse (Muldoon), a waitress (Eve Mauro), a restaurateur (Quinn Duffy) and a writer (Cordelia Reynolds). As temperatures rise, the desperate detainees fight for survival.

Two and a half hours west of Detroit sits the city of Grand Rapids—an unspectacular Midwestern location, but the one where director Philippe Martinez has opted to shoot The Chaos Experiment (a.k.a. The Steam Experiment, the title under which it will be released internationally). With a cast that features such names as Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, Eric Roberts and Patrick Muldoon, along with Quinn Duffy and sexy actresses Eve Mauro, Megan Brown and Cordelia Reynolds, it’s unsurprising that, as Fango arrives on set at 9:00 on a cold Wednesday evening, an excited crowd is gathered behind mildly perturbed-looking security guards, eager to catch a glimpse at the sort of movie stars that rarely set foot in their hometown.

Fango is led to the set where an uneventful bar scene featuring Assante and Martinez’s daughter (making a cameo as a barmaid—the director, whose sister Karinne...

Fango got the word that the Philippe Martinez-directed psychothriller originally titled The Steam Experiment has now been retitled The Chaos Experiment for U.S. release. We also got ahold of some new exclusive photos from the movie, which you can see below.

Scripted by Robert Malkani, the movie stars Val Kilmer as former professor James Pettis, who attempts to prove his theories about the dangers of global warming in the most extreme way possible: He kidnaps six people and traps them in a Turkish bath to prove that the oppressive heat will cause them to break down mentally. His victims are played by Eric Roberts, Megan Brown, Patrick Muldoon, Eve Mauro, Quinn Duffy and Cordelia Reynolds; Armand Assante also stars as the detective interrogating Pettis, who will only disclose his captives’ location if his beliefs are printed as a front-page newspaper story.

Val Kilmer is one among five to board Philippe Martinez’s upcoming indie thriller “The Steam Experiment,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Armand Assante, Eric Roberts, Megan Brown and Patrick Muldoon have also signed on to star in the project, which recently began filming in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Written by Rob Malkani, “Steam” focuses on a former university professor (Kilmer) who traps six people in a Turkish bathhouse and keeps increasing the temperature to prove to the world that humanity will slip into chaos under the impact of global warming.

Assante plays a detective who tries to find the location of the hostages. Roberts, Brown and Muldoon play three of the victims. On board to star as the remaining three are Eve Mauro, Quinn Duffy and Cordelia Reynolds.

Martinez also directed “Citizen Verdict” and the Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle “Wake of Death.”

Kilmer has several projects awaiting release, including Werner Herzog...
