Punchlines: Score one for the new Bond girl
The film industry rarely breaks with tradition. In action movies, heroes always survive unrealistically loud and fiery explosions, villains never win and the female sidekick is generally a 20-something who is high on looks and sometimes low on talent, until now. Meet Monica Bellucci the newest Bond woman who will play opposite 007 in Spectre, the 24th film of the series set to be released in October 2015. Bellucci, 50, is the oldest woman to ever play the part, and that's got one comic wondering what her character's name will be. Take a look at today's Punchlines to hear his suggestions.
Another movie moment that's generating buzz: Arnold Schwarzenegger returns in Terminator: Genisys. According to another comic, the movie's star goes back in time to convince Phil Collins not to have a solo career.
