Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone, multitasking as director and co-writer) is leader of the eponymous mercenary team.

They are by nature a contagious quagmire of failed puns, roads repaved with familiar plots, and their stars have signed with the devil. Enter Julia Roberts, queen of [...]]]> http://www.vaughnonmovies.com/2010/08/eat-pray-love/feed/ 0 http://www.vaughnonmovies.com/2010/08/the-other-guys/ http://www.vaughnonmovies.com/2010/08/the-other-guys/#comments Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:37:45 +0000 Vaughn Fry http://www.vaughnonmovies.com/?p=1335
