Damn, dude! Simon says that Wesley Snipes looks fantastic for a 54-year-old badass. Honestly, I don't think I've seen him act in anything since the 2004 release of Blade: Trinity. That being said, Snipes has been keeping himself busy while appearing in some under-the-radar flicks like The Marksman, The Detonator, The Contractor, and Hard Luck. Beyond that, he's also lent his talents to films like... Read More...

The recent straight-to-video output of Wesley Snipes comes under Matt's spotlight, as he delves into four obscure action thrillers...
It was thought to be around 400 years ago that nature asked the question. We only learned the answer in 1962 – it was Wesley Snipes. Ever since, scientists have been working around the clock, trying to identify just what the question was. Not so we can ask it again, nor avoid asking it – just so we can be aware that if we do ask it, Wesley Snipes is the consequence.
Not for the first time, Den of Geek has to step in for science, as it’s going horribly wrong. To spend your time working out what caused Wesley Snipes is fine, but not at the expense of keeping an eye on what he’s been up to. Simply locking him up in a prison cell and...

Kotaku reports that actor Wesley Snipes, currently serving a three-year prison sentence for tax evasion, is working with a Finnish developer on an action/strategy game scheduled for multi-platform release later this year. They're calling it "Julius Styles: The International." Lapland Studio's website describes the project thus:
In a world of money, power, sex and murder, Julius Styles (Wesley Snipes) is an international "Facilitator" a man whose unique talents make him a valuable commodity.
A facilitator, huh? The description sounds suspiciously like the plot of one or any of Snipes recent string of by-the-numbers, straight-to-video movies.
"The Contractor" (2007)
"The Detonator" (2006)
"The Marksman" (2005)
Why not just call the game "The Facilitator"?
Seriously, though. Best wishes to the imprisoned Snipes on keeping busy and presumably generating some income to pay off those debts. But I've long felt his particular brand of invulnerable, paramilitary, Zen-killer, one-man-wrecking-crew action narrative is a relic of a bygone era.

Dressed in a black suit, purple T-shirt and a pair of Ray-Ban glasses, Wesley Snipes does not look like a man facing hard time. Good humoured, garrulous even the actor best known for his role as the vampire hunter in Blade arrives for our interview seemingly without a care in the world. Announcing his "spirit is well", it's almost understandable. With a decade of straight-to-dvd duds with titles like The Detonator and The Marksman behind him, he's just pleased to be back in a major release. An intense cop drama from the director of Training Day, Brooklyn's Finest unquestionably offers him his best role in years.

When Mickey Rourke, a little over a year ago, enjoyed his big comeback, every story about him made a point of cataloguing his mythological mountain of trials and tribulations: the brutal battering he subjected himself to in the boxing ring, the drugs and booze and broken relationships, the botched plastic surgery, the "F-k yous!" to the movie industry and to his own fame, the lonely 3 a.m. convenience-store runs, the whole teary raging self-destructive fall from grace. It all got talked about, of course, because it was such a great, juicy, sad, fascinating story. But it also seemed an essential story because,...
