Here are some new images from Jonathan Mostow’s new sci-fi actioner “Surrogates” for ya. Don’t ignore this movie, folks, Jonathan Mostow is a damn fine action director (I still think his “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” is very underrated) and anything with Willis carrying a gun and running around trying to save the world has always been worthy of an admissions ticket. Plus, it’s got Radha Mitchell, who is always good in sci-fi stuff, and of course, Rosamund Pike is easy on the eyes. Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Bruce Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates. Starring Bruce Willis, Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Ving Rhames, Michael Cudlitz, Helena Mattsson, Boris Kodjoe, Trevor Donovan, Jack Noseworthy, Valerie Azlynn, and directed by Jonathan Mostow.

Click Here to read Jeff Bayer’s take on Bruno
Plot: Austrian gay TV host Bruno (Baron Cohen) travels across the world in hopes of achieving international celebrity.
Who’s It For? If you haven’t seen Baron Cohen’s earlier Borat, it wouldn’t be wise to start here. But if “jagshemash” used to be a part of your vocabulary, you’ve probably already bought tickets. Tickets you should be very excited about.
Expectations: With Borat being the funniest movie of 2006, I had high hopes that this next movie from Baron Cohen would be another uproarious exercise in exorcising the idiotic demons inside the people of the world, but all done with a rather clever tastelessness.

Sacha Baron Cohen as Bruno: Regardless of what one thinks of his humor,

12 Rounds is either one of the best tributes to action films of the last two decades or a horrible rip-off with nothing unique to say or show – it’s a genuine toss-up. But even if you can’t decide whether or not 12 Rounds borrows too much or the right amount, one thing isn’t debatable: John Cena has no place acting. The movie itself has problems left and right, but what’s really proven by the time credits roll is that action stars don’t just require muscular bodies in tear-away shirts, some acting is required. Bruce Willis didn’t rock our faces off in Die Hard by just being tough as nails – no, instead he threw in some acting to make John McClane endearing and even funny.

A criminal who inspired Justin Timberlake's movie Alpha Dog is facing a death penalty after he was found guilty of murder.
Drug dealer Jesse James Hollywood was convicted of kidnapping and killing 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz in 2000 over a debt owed by his half-brother.
Markowitz's sibling, small-time drug dealer Ben, owed Hollywood more than $2,000 (£1,333) worth of marijuana.
Nicholas was held hostage for several days, before being hit over the head with a shovel, bound with duct tape, and shot several times.
Hollywood went on the run following the murder, until he was caught in Brazil in 2005. The crime inspired the 2007 film Alpha Dog, starring Timberlake, Sharon Stone and Bruce Willis.
A jury at Santa Barbara Superior Court, California also found the 29 year old guilty of being a principal in a murder committed in the course of a kidnapping, and being involved in a crime in which an assault weapon or machine gun was used.
The guilty verdict means Hollywood could be eligible for the death penalty.
Four others have already been convicted in connection with the crime.

Annalynne McCord is desperate to get close to Rumer Willis when she joins the cast of 90210 - she's begging scriptwriters to pen a same-sex love scene for the pair.
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's eldest daughter is set to star in the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off as punk lesbian Gia later this year.
It seems the cast are all eager to share some steamy scenes with the Hollywood offspring - especially McCord, who plays catty student Naomi Clark.
And the actress is urging the show's bosses to come up with a lesbian romance for her and Willis.
She tells E! Online, "This is what I foresee. Naomi gets drunk, and she gets a little crazy. Naomi wants to experiment. And then a little lip-on-lip action with Rumer Willis can't hurt anybody, right?
"How fabulous would that be. They totally need to make it happen!"

Earlier this week, The CW has confirmed that Rumer Willis will join the next season of "90210" and portray a lesbian called Gia. While the television network has not informed who will play as the lesbian partner of Rumer's character, her co-star AnnaLynne McCord has expressed her desire to have kissing scene with the Bruce Willis' daughter.
"This is what I foresee," AnnaLynne began fantasizing of what could happen between her character Naomi and Rumer's. "Naomi gets drunk, and she gets a little crazy. Liam's watching. Naomi wants to experiment. And then a little lip-on-lip action with Rumer Willis can't hurt anybody, right?" she stated.
"How fabulous would that be," AnnaLynne claimed about her imaginary scene, before adding "They totally need to make it happen!" However, the former "Nip/Tuck" star has admitted that she actually doesn't know how Rumer's character will entail the existing storyline.

Do The Right Thing: 20th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Spike Lee’s groundbreaking fable about race relations in an ethnically mixed Brooklyn neighborhood during a sweltering New York summer remains as potent, timely and prescient as it was in 1989. Lee is among the cast, which also includes John Turturro, Danny Aiello, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and Rosie Perez (to name a few), that provide the tableaux-like framework for this stunning work. Criminally ignored by Oscar (it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, but did garner nods for Supporting Actor Danny Aiello and Lee’s screenplay), it endures as a timeless classic. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Commentary by Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Wynn Thomas, Joie Lee; Documentary; Deleted and extended scenes; Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.

I first heard of Assassination of a High School President during the 2008 Sundance Film Festival where the movie - a political/Noir mystery set in a high school - managed to make something of an impression. Fans of the film were calling it the next Brick (and if you don’t know what Brick is, you should), only two-times as funny. And that was endorsement enough for me.
Well, after Sundance, I waited for the seemingly inevitable theatrical release of Assassination of a High School President to happen, but nothing ever came of it and the film slowly faded from my overcrowded memory until recently, when a trailer for the film and news of its release finally arrived.
Now apparently, Yari Film Group, which owns Assassination, was forced into bankruptcy before they could get the movie into theaters. The resulting legalities involved with bankruptcy court have kept the movie on

We have been warned.
The Sci Fi channel announced that it was changing its name to SyFy a few months ago, and the switch happens tomorrow. Unfortunately Bruce Willis is not going to rescue us from this colossal attack of bad branding and phonetic foolishness. This name change has been widely criticized, so I'm only adding a final pinch of salt to the wound on the eve of its debut.
The pre-launch ad campaign has been plastered on buses and phone kiosks. It shows a glowing white SyFy logo hovering menacingly over an unsuspecting metropolis. The tag line accompanying this image is Imagine Greater. Really. Why change the name at all, "sci fi" is already a clearly understood abbreviation for science fiction? Can't trademark it? Design a symbol and register that!
The existing Sci Fi channel's logo is weak by any measure but in my opinion the cable TV universe

Top Ten Apocalyptic/Post-Apocalyptic Films It seems Hollywood's infatuation with the end of the world has found its place in 2009 with releases such as Knowing this past March and upcoming releases such as 9, The Road and 2012 later this year. I never saw The Horsemen, but I know it had an apocalyptic theme, and films such as Terminator Salvation and even Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen threaten the continued existence of the human race. So, with such a situation at hand what better time than now to take a look at what I believe to be the best apocalyptic films of all-time... or at the very least of those I have seen... We all have a morbid curiosity when it comes to the world's end. Will it go with a whimper or a bang? Will the apocalypse be man-made, ape-made, E.T.-made, nature-made, or God-made? Will I be holding Nicolas Cage
