Perhaps flight attendants are intimidated by Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino, but Jason Statham is not. On a plane bound for New York, the action star discovered someone in his seat, he told 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC) audience.

"The guy's got a hood, and it's completely tied really tight. And he's got the dark glasses and he's sitting back," described the action-film tough guy. He told the mysterious passenger, "'Excuse me, you're in my seat,' and he doesn't do anything."

Action star Jason Statham is well accustomed to doing his own stunts. However, he revealed on 'The Early Show' (weekdays, 7AM ET on CBS) that doing so was born of necessity early in his career due to lack of funds.

The folks at our sister site Cinematical are working hard to give you news and reviews of the best -- and worst -- the silver screen has to offer. Here are some of their musings on the latest blockbusters, indies, and everything in between:

• Before he hosted SNL last week, I had never seen Zac Efron actually act. In fact, I don't think I've even heard him speak. However, I kind of want to see 17 Again, and I don't know how I feel about that. Cinematical's review helped me decide though.
• I haven't heard of any of the movies on this list, so when Cinematical asks the question, "Are these Summer movies guaranteed to bomb," I'm inclined to say yes.
• Look, you know you're going to find yourself in the theater watching Crank: High Voltage, because you simply cannot resist Jason Statham. At least get an idea as to what you're in for.
• If watching Crank: High Voltage still isn't enough for you, perhaps you can be sated with Cinematical Seven: Adrenaline-Fueled Movies.

Most people watch the Super Bowl, airing Sun., 6PM on NBC, for the football game.


In its four-decade-plus history, the Super Bowl has had its fair share of these moments: the Budweiser frogs; Michael Jordan and Larry Bird shooting outrageous hoops to win a McDonald's Big Mac; Apple's '1984'-inspired Macintosh commercial, shot for $1 million and directed by Oscar-nominee Ridley Scott.

This year promises to continue the tradition with ads featuring celebrities, soda and -- you guessed it -- beer. According to E!, the celebrity lineup includes Conan O'Brien for Anheuser-Busch, will.i.am, who will sing Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young' in a commercial for Pepsi, action star Jason Statham for Audi and John Turturro's second commercial for Heineken.
