Robert Downey Jr.’s graph has seen its ups and downs, particularly during the time he was suffering from addiction. Luckily, he had people around who would go out of their way to help him battle his demons and push him towards the comeback of a lifetime. Out of these people, his wife, Susan Downey, had a major role in helping Robert Downey Jr. come out of the darkness.

Garrett Hedlund (“Mudbound”) and Mel Gibson (“Braveheart”) are set to star in Nadine Crocker’s thriller “Desperation Road.”
Signature Entertainment are repping international sales on the project at AFM.
Based on the novel by Michael Farris Smith (“Blackwood”), the film tells the story of ex-con Russell Gaines (Hedlund) who attempts to rebuild his life with help from his father Mitchell (Gibson). But when Maben arrives and throws Russell’s life into chaos, the pair end up on the lam.
“As their violent pasts catch up to them, the pair must learn to trust each other if they hope to live out the rest of their days,” reads the logline.

Today is a fantastic day to be a Netflix subscriber, as the service has just added its first big content drop of the year. Included in the latest additions are such huge hits as the classic comedy Superbad, renowned mob pic The Departed, and the beloved drama What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. But for fans of one incredibly well known actor, there’s not one but two of his flicks joining the platform today, and one of them is an often overlooked supernatural effort from 2003.
Indeed, while Robert Downey Jr. also has his 2009 action comedy Sherlock Holmes on Netflix now, you might be surprised to see him in the thriller Gothika, too. This trippy flick follows psychiatrist Miranda Grey (Halle Berry) after she wakes up in a hospital a short while after nearly hitting a young girl with her car. She’s accused of killing her husband, but she has no...

Robert Downey Jr. is now so closely associated with the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man that some fans have difficulty telling where one ends and the other begins. Of course, he’s appeared in a wealth of other movies as well, and two of them, Gothika and Sherlock Holmes, are set to hit Netflix this week.
The former is a horror pic that sways between psychological and visceral, and is one of the films that began Downey Jr.’s Hollywood renaissance after years of substance abuse and associated legal trouble. It stars Halle Berry as Miranda Grey, a psychiatrist in a mental hospital who finds herself a patient there after being accused of killing her husband, an act of which she has no memory and may or may not have had supernatural influence.
Rdj, meanwhile, plays Pete Graham, a psychiatrist colleague who oversees her treatment and attempts to coax...

Ben McGrath (Chris Klein) had major league potential playing professional baseball, but his hopes to play ball literally get crushed. Down on his luck, Ben gets another swing at redemption as a new attorney for Schmood & Associates. His unorthodox boss, Mel (Jon Lovitz), convinces him to manage their eclectic softball team full of misfits and strikeouts. Together, will they have enough spirit to rally and win it all?
Ok, so The Benchwarmers didn’t set the world on fire but I did enjoy the ridiculous underdog film for what it was – a stupid, laugh out loud comedy product from the “Happy Gilmore” factory of filmmaking. In the grand...

When an influx of violent and ruthless heroin dealers descend on Seattle, Elijah Kane (Steven Seagal) leads an elite undercover squad of cops to bring them to justice. Tearing up the rulebook, Kane and his crack team of law enforcers storm the city streets to clean out the drug barons by any brutal means necessary.
Let’s clear something up from the outset – Deadly Crossing is actually the pilot movie for Steven Seagal’s new television series Southern Justice, aka True Justice (as it is billed on the title card of the movie) and was originally titled Russian Crossing.
