To put it out there I’m much more of a beard man myself, moustaches aren’t really my thing, they do intrigue me though, they come in every shape and size, they are synonymous with a wide range of people, your sophisticated gentleman, 1980’s porn star, a hill billy and cowboys. It has been said they give men a special source of righteous/evil power depending on the moustachee.

Tom Selleck has done more for moustaches than what gypsies have done for caravans, he’s that integral. Him and Sam Elliot share the co-regency for Moustache King of the Universe. When you think of Tom Selleck your first thought isn’t Magnum PI or 3 Men and a Baby, it’s his legendary tash.

Sam Elliot is co-regent of Moustache King of the Universe with Tom Selleck. Many conspiracy theorists have stated that his Moustache has completely engulfed his lips, which is the reason for his gruff voice.

Not only is Daniel Day Lewis one of the greatest actors of all time, he is also a moustache connoisseur, his finest moustached achievement was as Bill The Butcher in Gangs Of New York. His other notable moustached performance was as Daniel Plainview in the brilliant There Will Be Blood.

Clark Gable has the crème de la crème of gentlemans moustache, he could beat you at poker, drink scotch and bed your woman all at once. A master of the pencil moustache, he set the trend for gentlemen around the world.

Richard Pryor is the funniest man to do stand up comedy, period. he also starred in 45 movies. The alleged source of his supreme comedic prowess was his moustache. RIP

When I think of a stereotypical moustached hollywood actor in the 1980’s I think of Burt Reynolds, he has the archetype bad pornstar moustache. His follwers have given his tash a  hugely original name – the Burtstache (I’m not lying google it or join the facebook fan page)

Thanks to Adolf Hitler this style of moustache never really caught on circa 1939. Chalie Chaplin is one of the most influential actors, comedians and directors in cinemas young history, it’s a shame his moustache resembles Hitlers.

Borat sports the  perfect dorky moustache, he just looks awkward, this the the weird science teachers moustache, not very cool but undeniably awesome.

Hulk Hogan has probably been in some of the worst movies of all time, they are so bad you could use them as coercive interrogation (torture). The only saving grace is his horseshoe moustache, if you focus on his tash the whole time, you’ll be able to get through them, just.

Jason Lee has done great things for the moustache in the 21st century, beards have almost fully taken over but Jason is standing strong.

My hopes for this continue to rise, I really liked the first trailer (apart from the sh*tty tagline ‘Titans Will Clash’) and the posters released on Yahoo today measure extremely high on the badassness scale! This is shaping up to be the big blockbuster film I’m looking forward tothe  most next year – along with Inception. I’m generally not a fan of remakes but for me the original hasn’t dated that well so I’m not mad at all with this one.

In the film, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Neeson) and unleash hell on Earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

With just over a week from release 20th Centrury Fox are bombarding us with a bunch of featurette’s and clips from Avatar, below is a new ’story featurette’ and design featurette narrated by Sigourney Weaver. For me I think they’ve been giving a bit to much away with all these different featurettes, but I can see where they are coming from they’ve spent a HUUUUUUGGGGGGGGE amount of time and money. I can generally tell the marketing for a film is going well when my Mum is asking me about the film! Avatar is in cinemas 17th December

Below are some new clips from Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film – Invictus, one of the favorite’s for this years Best Picture at the Oscar’s (Clint Eastwood always seems to be a favorite of the Academy along with George Clooney). Invictus stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar the South African Rugby team captain. At the National Board Of Review Clint Eastwood was awarded the best director for Invictus while Morgan Freeman and George Clooney split the best actor award.

Based on the book by John Carlin Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation, Invictus is the story of South Africa’s bid to host the Rugby World Cup in 1995, and then the home team’s campaign in the competition to win the trophy (if you know your stuff they beat New Zealand 15-12 in the final). The film is set just a few short years after the end of apartheid, Mandela’s release from prison and election as President, at the time and still to an extent now the country was deeply and bitterly divided, which threatened at times to scupper the campaign. The trailer should be released within the next two weeks

Invictus is in UK cinemas February 5, 2010, and in the US December 11th just in time for Oscar season.

Jennifer Hudson winner of a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 2006’s Dreamgirls, will take the lead role in a new biopic of the former South African first lady Winnie Mandela, the film will shoot from May 30, 2010. Nelson Mandela himself  is being portrayed by  Morgan Freeman in the upcoming Clint Eastwood-directed Invictus, which centres on Nelson’s attempts to unite his country behind the South African team in the 1995 rugby World Cup.

Winnie will be directed by Darrell J. Roodt. Andre Pieterse, Roodt and Paul L. Johnson wrote a script based on the Anne Marie du Preez Bezdrob biography “Winnie Mandela:A Life.” The filmmakers have said they will ‘tell the whole story, good and bad’. “I was compelled and moved when I read the script,” Hudson said. “Winnie Mandela is a complex and extraordinary woman and I’m honored to be the actress asked to portray her. This is a powerful part of history that should be told.” I’d really like to see how this turns out, Winnie Mandela is an interesting and complex character, Jennifer Hudson was great in Dreamgirls but it wasn’t like she was out of her comfort zone, we’ll have to wait and see, I’ve got faith!

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, 72, remains a popular figure in South African politics despite her 1991 conviction for involvement in the kidnapping, assault and death of a 14-year-old alleged informer, Stompie Moeketsi. She and Nelson Mandela had been married for only a year before he was forced into hiding and then imprisoned in 1962 – he would only be freed in 1990. While he was in gaol, she became an increasingly powerful figure in the African National Congress and went on to run the ANC Women’s League. She was deputy minister of arts, culture, science and technology in the first post-apartheid government for 11 months, until allegations of corruption led to her dismissal.

Wired recently caught up with the legend that is Stan Lee – co-creator of Spider-Man, Iron Man, X Men, Thor and Hulk.  At the Scream 2009 awards show Stan Lee was awarded the Comic-Con Icon Award dedicated to honouring the best in fantasy, science fiction, comics, and horror. Lee arrived on stage on a giant spider an entrance worthy of one of his superheroes – Legend!

You’ve had a number of cameos in Marvel’s recent run of films. Did you enjoy doing those?

Oh yeah. I’m a real ham. I love doing those cameos. And I also have a cameo in the latest Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 video game. I’m in that as Stan Lee. And I’m also the mayor of the town in the  Super Hero Squad show. I love doing those things. I’m thinking of putting a notice in Variety saying, “Stan Lee available for cameos.”

Have you been called yet for Iron Man 2?

I’ve done it already! I’ve already been told that I’ll be in the next Spider-Man movie. You know what I’m really trying for, I think it would be a kick. I don’t know why DC hasn’t asked me to do one. I’m waiting. Maybe they’ll read this interview and get the idea.

Out of all the super powers you could possibly have, which one would you want?

Believe it or not, good luck. Because if you’re lucky then everything goes right for you. Right? if somebody shoots at you, they’ll miss. Somebody takes a swing at you, they’ll trip and fall before the blow lands. If you buy a lottery ticket, you’re sure to win. I think luck is really the most important thing you could have.
