'Twilight?' 'Hunger Games?' Everything's Better With Loggins

FunnyorDie

Listen up, children, and hear of a time when the giants of music wrote awesome guitar-driven theme songs to all the best movies. This era was called "The '80s," and its king was Kenny Loggins, who wrote and performed timeless classics like "Highway to the Danger Zone" from "Top Gun" and "Footloose" from...well, some movie or other.

With many movie soundtracks languishing in the licensed songs pit of despair, we think the time is ripe for a Loggins revival, and so does Funny or Die. Get More »

Real Steel
DreamWorks

If you think the action in today's robot boxing flick "Real Steel" is almost a little too real, there's a good reason for that: Sugar Ray Leonard.

The world champion boxing legend may be known mostly for his quick hands, but he's quickly making a name for himself in the cutthroat world of the movies as well -- and now in a new interview with PopSugar he's spilled the beans on exactly how he helped train Hugh Jackman for "Real Steel."

So what lessons did the one-time "Dancing With the Stars" contestant pass on to Jackman? And is there a reason Jackman's robot Atom bears more than a passing resemblance in the ring to the lightning-fast Leonard? Head over to PopSugar to find out. Just remember to keep your gloves high.

It takes a special actor to star opposite giant fighting robots without seeming, well, small and human. That man is Hugh Jackman, who plays a boxing-robot promoter (yes, they exist in the future) in the father-son action drama "Real Steel." 

And it takes a special fan to interview Hugh Jackman without blinking an eye. That fan is Rena Jenkins, who entered our Twitter contest and won a chance to chat with Jackman himself. Despite not having any journalism experience, Rena handled the interview like a pro -- in fact, in a lucky coincidence, she was an extra on the set of "Real Steel," so she and Jackman had plenty to talk about.

Read on to find out how Rena got the "Real Steel" star to confess to his "bad parenting" skills, his love for Eminem and what's next on his bucket list. Get More »
