You have got to hand it to the India film industry. They mostly turn out movies we will never understand which feature lots of dancing. However, occasionally they come up with a gem that’s just so blatantly absurd it turns out to be awesome.

I’m talking about, of course, the amazing film Endhiran (aka Robot) which has the distinction of being the most expensive movie ever made in India. Check out the compilation video we’ve got after the jump and see this movie that’s an amazing combination of I, Robot, The Matrix, The Terminator and pretty much most other popular sci-fi movies you can think of.

And yes, there’s also dancing. Come on, did you really think there wouldn’t be? Check out the video after the jump.

As an added bonus, we’ve also got another trailer for you to enjoy of a film we fondly remember as the first time the Indian film industry decided to make an homage to American films. Yes, it’s the trailer for the Indian Reservoir Dogs/Usual Suspects called Kaante. Enjoy and you’re welcome.

Yep, the one and the same Linda Hamilton that we all remember from the Terminator franchise is going to grace a geek property once again. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hamilton will be playing the long lost mother of Chuck (Zachary Levi) and Ellie (Sarah Lancaster.)  Right now Hamilton’s character, Mary Bartowski, is listed as being on recurring status.

At a press conference at the San Diego Comic-Con, executive producer Josh Schwartz said that Hamilton was actually inspired by fans who wrote in online.  Schwartz added that Hamilton’s character will drive a lot of the plot next season, as Chuck and Ellie search for their mom, whose identity has been a mystery throughout the show.

Hamilton will make her first appearance in the season opener, which will also feature a bit role for Olivia Munn. “Old Spice” phenom Isaiah Mustafa will also appear next season.

I can’t wait to see Hamilton in this role. What do you think?

It should come as no surprise that actor Bill Paxton knows James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow pretty well. After all, he’s been featured in most of Cameron’s films including Aliens, The Terminator, True Lies and Titanic and starred in Bigelow’s vampire film Near Dark. He even worked with both Cameron and Bigelow on a music video for his band Martini Ranch oh so many years ago.

So it’s been kinda odd that nobody has talked to Paxton about both Cameron and Bigelow, especially as the two directors used to be married and are both nominated for Best Director Academy Awards this year. Fortunately, the folks at The Jimmy Fallon Show have seen fit to remedy this situation with an interview of Paxton, which we’ve got the video of to share with you today.

As Paxton is a friend of both directors and owes much of his career to Cameron in particular, he doesn’t really spill the dirt and give us anything particularly revolutionary. Still, it’s interesting to hear him speak about a subject, and two people, he knows so well.

Check out the video after the break.
