Woo puts He-Man back on big screen

Action figure and cartoon hero He-Man is returning to the big screen in a new movie.

Variety reports that 'Face/Off' helmer John Woo will direct and produce the live-action film.

Dolph Lundgren previously starred in a 1987 He-Man spin-off called 'Masters of the Universe' that also marked one of the early movie appearances of 'Friends' star Courteney Cox.

Woo is also set to direct wrestling legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in an adaptation of the classic video game 'Spy Hunter'.

Astro Boy

Rating 3

It won't stick in the memory like, say, a 'Monsters, Inc' or 'Lilo and Stitch', but 'Astro Boy' is a fairly quick 90 minutes.

Youth in Revolt

Rating 3

Some brilliant moments but sadly, for a film about losing one's virginity, it doesn't go all the way.
