Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy this new episode of The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we examine movies from established movie stars that have flopped at the box office, been forgotten by time, or remain hidden gems. These aren’t the films that made them famous or kept them famous. These are the other ones. Today, in honor (?) of Angel Has Fallen, we discuss Scotland’s own Gerard Butler. Following his star-making turn in Zack Snyder’s 300, Butler headlined a slew of projects, mostly action programmers and romantic comedies. In 2011 & 2012, he released four unsuccessful movies that ran the gamut of available genres: the misguided awards push Machine Gun Preacher, the Ralph Fiennes-directed Coriolanus, the based-on-a-true-story surfer drama Chasing Mavericks and the soccer rom-com family dramedy (?) Playing For Keeps.  We talk about the modes where Butler’s rugged good looks are best utilized, the controversies that surrounded Machine Gun Preacher upon its release, the duo of good Gerry B indie films no one saw (see Dear Frankie & this year’s The Vanishing) and why the 49-year-old star needs to be in Terrence Malick’s next movie.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we explore movies from established stars that flopped at the box office, have been forgotten by time, or remain hidden gems. These aren’t the films that made them famous or kept them famous. These are the other ones. Today, we talk Pierce Brosnan, Ireland’s first son. Per request from our lovely guest, The Film Stage Show’s own Michael Snydel, we dive into the actor’s immediate post-Bond filmography. More specifically, we talk Evelyn, The Matador, Seraphim Falls & Married Life. First famous in the early ‘80s with starring roles in the television mini-series Manions of America & hit show Remington Steele, Brosnan built out a diverse resume into the ‘90s before winning the role as James Bond in 1995’s GoldenEye.
