Max Payne DVD Specs and Cover Art

Unfortunately for Mark Wahlberg, the only pain Max brought to the big screen was, well, the pain of another box office flop. Which is too bad, as I thought the film stuck pretty closely to the “spirit” of the videogames, except for my much-documented deriding of Jackie from That 70’s...

Max Payne Movie Reviews

The reviews for “Max Payne” have begun to surface throughout the week, and they haven’t been kind. As of this writing, the film has a lowly 17% freshness rating among critics over at RottenTomatoes. Ouch. So does this mean no “Max Payne 2″? Duh. Bad movie reviews mean nothing...

Max Payne and Punisher Gets R-Rating

Apparently both “Max Payne” and “Punisher: War Zone” are so punishingly violent and brutal that the MPAA has slapped both films with an “R” rating. Fans of both the Punisher and Max Payne should be rejoicing at this news, although I’m not sure if “Max Payne”...

Updates on Duke Nuke’em, McGee’s Alice, and Max Payne 2

Think of movie producer Scott Faye as the opposite of Uwe Boll — a man who likes videogames, likes making movies out of them, but whereas Uwe Boll’s videogame movies tend to, er, suck donkey balls, Faye seems to know how to make the best videogame movie he can. Or at least, he talks a mighty...

Wait, So Max Payne is NOT Supposed to be R-Rated?

Director John Moore, the man behind the upcoming Mark Wahlberg videogame movie “Max Payne”, is more than a tad peeved at the MPAA, the industry’s powerful organization that dishes out those ratings to your favorite movies. The issue? The cut of “Max Payne” that Moore turned...

New Max Payne Trailer Piles on the Noir and Crazy Action

If you’ve played the Max Payne games, then you know that director John Moore is putting that big budget that comes with having Mark Wahlberg as a star to work. I mean, wow, this thing looks just awesome. Even if it turns out to be complete shit, with an incomprehensible story, the visuals will...

Mark Wahlberg Promotes Max Payne Like It’s His Last Movie. EVER.

Initially, my intention was to make fun of Mark Wahlberg with this post — you know, get in a couple of rib kicks for his grand statement that Max Payne (a character based on a friggin’ videogame) was “the most complex character” he had ever played, and how Payne is the baddest...

New Max Payne Posters are Brooding

Two new posters for the Mark Wahlberg action-fest “Max Payne” (based on the videogames of the same name) have popped up online. Nothing overly new, more iterations of the same stuff you’ve seen before — Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne, holding a shotgun, looking like he’s about...

Max Payne is a Shotgun Packing Badass

While I’m still not sold on the decision to cast a very short actress to play the tall, leggy, and oh so dangerous Mona Sax (seriously, guys, Mila Kunis? What were you dudes smoking during the casting sessions?), the trailer for “Max Payne” kinda sold the movie for me. This thing looks...

Max Payne is Still Posing

The boys and girls over at USA Today (I think it’s some kind of newspaper, or sumthin’) has done a “first look” at the upcoming movie “Max Payne”, starring Mark Wahlberg as an ex-DEA dude whose family is whacked, leaving him all whack out and looking for the people...

Max Payne is a Poser

If you’ve seen the first “Max Payne” trailer and didn’t loved it to death, then these promo shots of Mark Wahlberg posing as Max Payne won’t do a whole lot for you. (And if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, head over here.) These photos showed up last week all over...

Max Payne Trailer is Gametastic

After months of wondering if the Max Payne games could be properly translated to the big screen (and indeed, for anyone who has played it, they will know that the games are VERY translatable into cinematic form), the answer is a resounding: HELL YEAH. And while I still have problems casting the diminutive...

Mark Wahlberg Says He Actually Acted in Max Payne

According to Mark Wahlberg, his role in “Max Payne” is one of the most draining, emotionally charged role he’s ever had to play onscreen. To date. Yup, even more so than he did on “The Departed” or “Boogie Nights”. That’s saying something, considering Mark...

The last time we saw Max Payne, Mark Wahlberg (as the titular character) was in full character and getting into an limo in the rain. Today, new images from the film’s set have surfaced, showing more of Wahlberg in the rain (apparently it rains a lot in “Max Payne”) and some nice little...

Mila Kunis on Max Payne, Chris O’Donnell Joins Cast

Ah, man, I was kind of hoping the casting of Mila Kunis (pictured, left) in “Max Payne” didn’t mean she was going to play the gun-toting, sexy assassin Mona Sax, but apparently that is very much the case. I like Kunis, and she’s sexy when she has to be, but she’s just too...
