By Kelly Warner I like Jean-Claude Van Damme.

By LP Hugo While many film critics and casual filmgoers seem to date Jean-Claude Van Damme’s first true flexing of his acting muscles back to Mabrouk El Mechri’s JCVD in 2008, the Belgian action star has actually always been a bonafide … Continue reading
