Jeff Bridges is undeniably one of Hollywood's most illustrious and captivating entertainers, with the seasoned superstar's career spanning over seven decades and earning him many prestigious accolades, like an Academy Award and Golden Globe. Though he mastered the silver screen with unforgettable performances in hits like Tron, The Big Lebowski, Iron Man, and True Grit (among endless other classics), the charming leading man decided to try his hand at the world of television with the drama thriller The Old Man.

The riveting series is based on the Thomas Perry novel and features Bridges as war veteran and former CIA operative Dan Chase, who is forced to go on the run after years of hiding when he attracts the unwanted attention of the FBI, leading to an electrifying cat-and-mouse pursuit.

Theres nothing more exciting than seeing an A-List actor cast in an awesome action TV show. The best action TV shows ever generally feature actors who are relatively unknown or tend to stick to the smaller screen. So, when a massive name is attached to a project, viewers are far more likely to take an interest in it.

While some action TV shows are canceled too soon, the appearance of an A-lister often helps keep a series on the air. This is proved in other genres, too, and there are many great crime TV shows with A-List actors. From action-packed sequences with brilliant explosions and tense situations to subtler scenes with unexpected deaths and violence, these A-List actors are fantastic additions to these TV shows.

Focus Features’ Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner A Thousand And One opened to a solid $1.8 million at 926 theaters — $1,942 per theater average — supported by a 96% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and a B+ CinemaScore. It came no. 7 at the domestic box office, a strong showing for a complex, gritty film in a slow-to-recover specialty market.

“The fantastic critical response coupled with Teyana’s raw, powerhouse performance gives us confidence this film will continue to resonate with audiences across the country,” said Lisa Bunnell, Focus Features President of Distribution.

New York was the top market, overperforming with 18% of sales so far this weekend. Atlanta, D.C., Chicago and Philadelphia also have stronger than usual market shares for the debut feature from video and short film director A.V. Rockewell. Teyana Taylor is stunning as an unapologetic, free-spirited young Black woman, Inez, who kidnaps her six-year-old son Terry from the foster care system. They embark on a life together,...

"You can't kill a DEA agent." "Everyone can be killed." Saban Films has revealed the official trailer for an intense action thriller titled Black Warrant, which is a direct reference to "black warrant" - a writ that specifically authorizes an execution, a warrant for someone to be taken out (instead of arrested). A former special ops assassin and a DEA agent cross paths on separate missions with the same goal – to stop a cyber terrorist organization that has built a dangerous machine threatening to attack the power grid. This is yet another of these ridiculous jingoistic films where only sneaky agents and guns can keep America safe. The action movie stars Tom Berenger as the main assassin, with Cam Gigandet, Jeff Fahey, Rodrigo Abed, Sara Seyed, Helena Haro, Jonathan Avigdori, and Joe Chacon. Another of these forgettable, don't-even-bother action films they're churning out every week. Only fun thing is watching Berenger as a hitman.
