Chris Browning has already appeared in the blockbuster film “3:10 to Yuma” and is now set to be seen in another major movie, “Terminator: Salvation.”

Browning is aware of how big this film could be, having watched the original movies when he was younger.

“That first one, everyone my age was seeing that movie, and it was big,” Browning said. “When you look at it now it looks like a student film compared to what they have now.  With CGI and advances it’s a whole different deal.”

Fans of the hit film “3:10 to Yuma” may not remember the name of the character Chris Browning played, but many remember the scene his character died in.

Browning, 45, portrayed Deputy Crawley, the man who acted as a decoy to lure Ben Wade’s crew away.

It was Crawley who faced the wrath of Charlie Prince, who, with the rest of Wade’s crew, caught up with Crawley and burned him alive in the stage coach.

It was a good role for Browning, but one he was nervous about, because he knew he was going to have to film the intense scene.

Chris Browning had the start of a perfect career in acting, landing a job
on a hit sitcom that had money rolling in. But before long, he had wasted it on drugs, and his career came crashing down.

“I spent several years being homeless or in jail,” Browning said. “I went from a Malibu Beach house to living on a mattress next to the
freeway, when I wasn’t in jail.”

From what I’ve read on the Internet this is the latest trailer for the new “Terminator” movie which was screened at WonderCon.

Stay posted for an interview with Chris Browning, one of the actors in the new “Terminator” movie.

This is one of the films I’m looking forward to, having grown up on “Terminator” and “Terminator 2.” I try to forget the third movie, but feel this is a step in the right direction, especially with Christian Bale in the role.

Whether it was being totally enraptured by these little masterpieces listed below, or trashing an equal amount of crap, I can say 2008 satisfied me on both ends (Yes, even the crap, I have a cruel sense of fun). Sadly though, as like last year, I just didn’t have the time nor money to see absolutely EVERYTHING this year.

I can easily name three movies I was dying to see, including, “Let the Right One In,” “Man on Wire,” and “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.” But like a music festival, you just can’t catch every show when all your favorite bands are playing at the same time.  So enough chit chat, here is my personal top ten of 2008, but first, a quick look at a couple stinkers. …continue reading Top 10 of 2008 by T.S.
