    Van Damme is back!!!!

    He took a smart project in JCVD and now has the opportunity to get back in the game. I do hope he chooses wisely or he’ll sink back. This may look promising a film with Vinnie Jones is always exciting.

    I just hope he doesn’t settle for a all of these sequels to his movies back then aka: kickboxer, or bloodsport. The Universal Soldier I’m just not sure about that…..we’ll have to see if that can be a decent sequel.
