Jason Statham Seeks Helps In New Clip For ‘Hummingbird’
13 June 2013 2:12 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Although making his debut in Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Mr Jason Statham quite literally hasn’t working since Snatch in 2000, that’s 13 years of movies and he’s just hit 40 titles, pretty darn impressive really. It’s simple to notice that he’s a man who knows his genre and has been making the most, but with a growing respect.
For me, it was The Transporter in 2002 that really made people notice the Brit, and by the time he hit Crank 4-years later well, a star was born and I haven’t even mentioned Fast & Furious possibilities. Now we’ve got you another clip from a change in pace, but not in action we feel, for the Stath and it is all in the form of Hummingbird.
Here, he plays an ex-military man on the run who finds himself redemption by becoming an avenging angel. Check out the brand new clip here, »

Crazy first trailer for Pawn Shop Chronicles starring Paul Walker, Norman Reedus, Thomas Jane and more!
10 June 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
Looks like you can get your regular violent redneck action comedy fix next month as Wayne Kramer's Pawn Shop Chronicles is set to debut, bringing all the crazy antics you'd expect. With a terrific line up of stars, including Paul Walker, Norman Reedus, Vincent D'Onofrio, Lukas Haas, Thomas Jane, Elijah Wood, Matt Dillon, DJ Qualls, Chi McBride, Rachelle Lefevre, and, uh, Ashlee Simpson, this looks like a hillbilly version of a Guy Ritchie heist pic.

The hit-and-miss realms of Brit-grit cinema
7 June 2013 11:44 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
This week’s UK release of the critically roasted Blood – a new thriller starring Paul Bettany and Stephen Graham (filmed, incidentally, in my home town) and the significantly more well-received Stone Roses documentary Made of Stone directed by Shane Meadows – who is usually known for his rough and realistic portrayals of working-class misery – prompted me to delve back into the archives of tough, raw British cinema. Meadows’ filmography consists of some fine work, most notably the pitch-black revenge thriller Dead Man’s Shoes (2004) and the occasionally brilliant coming-of-age drama This Is England (2006), and Paul Bettany has a history of playing volatile Cockney gangsters (see Gangster No.1 (2000) for his most harrowing depiction of a common man inducted into a life of crime). But these coldly convincing vignettes of blue-collar melancholy – which vary from complex character studies of adolescence to edgy accounts of working class anti-heroes in desperate situations – are by no means a thing of modernity. »

Psych Draws Vinnie Jones, Olivia d’Abo & Kali Hawk
6 June 2013 8:51 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Psych is stacking the deck, drawing actors Vinnie Jones, Olivia d’Abo and Kali Hawk, and adding those wild cards to their already impressive hand. With these additions, season 8 should be aces.
Vinnie Jones recently played the bad guy, Sebastian Moran on CBS’s Elementary. I know the former professional footballer best as Bullet Tooth Tony from the cult classic Guy Ritchie crime film, Snatch. He also played the Juggernaut for X-Men: The Last Stand.
It comes as no surprise that on Psych, Jones will play a “brutal British criminal”. I mean, those three words may as well be the actor’s middle name.
Olivia d’Abo was a Wonder Years star once upon a time as Kevin Arnold’s older sister. TV Line reported on her impressive new role as a “master infiltrator” and number two in Vinnie Jones’ criminal organization. How fiendish! Speaking of villainy, d’Abo also »

The Liability Review
17 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Craig Viveiros.
Starring: Tim Roth, Peter Mullan, Jack O’Connell, Talulah Riley.
Running Time: 82 minutes.
Certificate: 15.
Synopsis: Adam (Jack O’Connell), 19, agrees to do a day’s driving for his mum’s gangster boyfriend and is soon pulled into a world of deceit, violence, murder and sex trafficking. Who knew being Tim Roth’s chauffeur was so demanding?
This cat-and-mouse British thriller manages to separate itself from the pack just long enough to entertain, largely thanks to its principal cast and dry script. Jack O’Connell heads up proceedings as typical lout and layabout Adam, who, after smashing up his mum’s boyfriend’s car, agrees to a driving job to make amends. Unluckily for him, said mum’s boyfriend is actually a gangster who sends Adam to drive for ageing assassin Roy (Tim Roth).

10 Banned Music Videos
13 May 2013 8:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The following article is provided by Rolling Stone.
By Pat Pemberton
When YouTube banned David Bowie's music video for "The Next Day," it seemed ironic, since the site is normally the best place to see once-banned videos. But YouTube says it's cool with Bowie now – that banning his racy, bloody, religious-themed video was a mistake. While the video has been reinstated, the flap reminds us of other music videos that were initially banned. Here are some of our favorites:
"Dead End Street" by the Kinks
In 1966, an early music video depicting the band members as top hat-wearing pallbearers was deemed tasteless by the BBC – even though the "corpse" jumped out of the coffin, apparently alive and well – resulting in the BBC's first pop video ban.

24 April 2013 4:52 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
The Lone Ranger and The Social Network’s rising star Armie Hammer has put pen to paper on deal that will see him partner up with Tom Cruise on Warner Bros. reboot of cult 1960s series, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Snatch and Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie will helm what the studio hopes will kickstart them a brand new franchise in much the same vein as Cruise’s own Mission: Impossible action-adventures.
The series originally ran from 1964-68, with Hollywood legend Robert Vaughan in the role of Agent Napoleon Solo, alongside British actor David McCallum as his close friend and partner, Illya Kuryakin. The two were members of the United Network Command for Law Enforcement and were looked on as the American equivalent to James Bond, foiling the plans of enemy organisation T.H.R.U.S.H. The show also spawned a couple of big-screen efforts as well as a spin-off series, »

The 10 Funniest Queens in "RuPaul's Drag Race" History
10 April 2013 9:42 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »
Shante, you slay.
We're nearing the end of RuPaul's Drag Race's fifth season, and that means it's time to make an important list: the 10 funniest queens in the show's history. In an age when people like Vivienne Pinay and Ivy Winters insist that fishiness is more important than comic chops, we need to fight back. I watch this show for unbridled sauciness, wit, and unapologetic humor, and these ten queens all boasted fine gut-busting instincts.
10. Detox
I have to be honest: I nearly gave this spot to Tatianna, whose performance as Britney Spears remains Snatch Game's most hilarious triumph, but Detox is truly the funnier performer. Her wise-ass commentaries, chicken fierceness, amazing side-eye, jaw-wagging lip-sync skills, and general weariness of everything are total treats. She'd probably laugh more at herself if her facial muscles were capable of abject glee. I'm always waiting to hear her next confessional, particularly after »

Films featuring Fighters Turned Actors – The Ten Best
30 March 2013 12:12 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Given the news that American professional wrestling legend Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption) has been cast as Drax in the forthcoming Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy, I thought I’d take a look at the ten best films to feature fighters turned actors. Check them out below:
Enter The Dragon (1973)
No list of fighters turned actor would be complete without Bruce Lee. Widely considered to be the best Martial Arts expert ever, he even invented his own Martial Arts philosophy – Jeet Kune Do. Before dying at the age of 32 Lee starred in a string of Kung Fu movies the best known of which is Enter The Dragon. What it lacks in plot and dialogue it more than makes up for in sheer power and energy.
The Mummy Returns (2001)
Dwayne Johnson found fame in the ring as ‘The Rock’ and proved to be a firm fan favourite. »

King of the Travellers – review
28 March 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A drama about bareknuckle fighting in the Traveller community has some crowd-pleasing moments, but there's not a lot to it
This feels like a fictionalisation of Ian Palmer's 2011 doc, Knuckle, about rival clans of itinerants holding bare-fisted donnybrooks in Irish laybys, but the tone is erratic. Writer-director Mark O'Connor aims for authenticity, tying the Travellers to those other migrant labourers persecuted by locals. Yet he stumbles over a vein of notionally crowd-pleasing comedy that recalls Guy Ritchie's Snatch, with its gold-chained chancers doing mushrooms in the woods. A flibbertigibbet: it arrives with a twinkle in its eye, but little else between its cauliflower ears.
Rating: 2/5
