Jonathan Rhys Meyers in The Tudors Season 4 Trailer

Krystal Clark — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:38:05 +0000

The fourth and final season of “The Tudors” is upon us and a new trailer has been released in promotion of the popular Showtime series. Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays the notorious British monarch Henry VIII who was known for disposing of his wives like yesterday’s trash all in the name of having a son. You can check out the trailer below but be warned this footage is NSFW…

“The Tudors” first aired on Showtime back in 2007 shortly after Meyers gained critical acclaim and a Golden Globe for his performance in the 2005 TV movie, Elvis. His portrayal of Henry VIII as a sexed crazed power hungry brat has led to two Golden Globe nominations in the Best Actor in a Television Series – Drama category. Even though the series hasn’t received as many accolades as hits like “The Sopranos” or “Mad Men,” it’s gained a cult following who have stuck with it since season one.

The following trailer shows the amount of tension that’s developed between Henry, England, his court, his daughter, and his young new wife. We also see the return of Joss Stone as his ex Anne of Cleves and Joely Richardson makes an appearance as Catherine Parr. There will be lots of drama, lots of betrayal and as usual lots of sex because no matter what season the show’s on that’s a “Tudors” staple.

Check out the trailer…

“The Tudors” premieres on Sunday, April 11th at 9PM on Showtime.

From Paris With Love: Movie Review

Guest Writer — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 03:00:28 +0000

From Paris With Love surprised me in many ways. Initially, the thought of John Travolta doing a slightly different version of his character from The Taking of Pelham 123, just didn’t appeal to me. I walked in expecting to laugh and cringe at how horrible it was, but soon discovered that it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s not an epic action film that leaves a mark on your life like the first Die Hard, but it has its moments. So, laughter – yes, cringing – minimal.

The Players:

Director: Pierre Morel
Writers: Adi Hasak (screenplay), Luc Besson (story)
Cast: John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kasia Smutniak, Richard Durden, Ying Bing
Cinematography: Michel Abramowicz
Music: David Buckley

James Reese (Meyers) is a personal aide to the US Ambassador in France with a side job helping the CIA clean up messes by changing license plates on cars, low level stuff. He is also in love with a beautiful French woman (Smutniak) who proposes to him the night he is given the opportunity he has been waiting for, the chance to become a bonafide secret agent. This is where we meet his new partner, FBI Agent Charlie Wax (Travolta). Wax is a wildman. He doesn’t follow protocol and gets things done in his own way. Reese is uncomfortable. He’s not a man of action. He is a thinker. He likes chess. He can’t call his fiancé because his phone is out of batteries.

Overall:

I was on the edge of my seat and smiling for most of the movie, loving the little homages to Travolta’s character in Pulp Fiction. It was also great that every time there was an opportunity to break some glass, they made it happen. If you want to see a movie that’s not top of the line, but partially entertaining, this is it. Because even though it’s not groundbreaking, I still enjoyed myself.

Rating: 7/10

From Paris With Love hits theaters February 5th.

News RoundUp: Mel Gibson, Brittany Murphy, Harry Potter

The end of the week brings us many interesting news stories. Today we have updates on the late-actress Brittany Murphy, Harry Potter, and Mel Gibson, whose acting come back has hit a rough patch. One of today’s stories even include a man on the verge of losing his job, but you’ll understand the entertainment value when you read more about it. Let’s get to it…

Mel Gibson called reporter Dean Richards an asshole during a live interview this morning. Richards had the audacity to bring up Gibson’s drunken ventures and racist rampages, which apparently angered the actor. Please note that it looks like Gibson just got out of bed, and in his defense, he might not be a morning person. [Buzzfeed]
Harry Potter, President Obama and a yellow-eyed Sonic the Hedgehog have been mixed together on to one backpack. We still don’t know what country is responsible for such a thing, but who ever it is had no idea their blend of wizards, politics, and video-games would get this much attention. [Unreality Magazine]
The upcoming thriller From Paris With Love starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is currently being sought after to become a video game, however, the two male leads have very little interest in the project. [GamerCrave]
Never look at material on the job that’s not safe for work. A new youtube video shows a worker looking at nude photos of Miranda Kerr during a live broadcast with Channel 7 news. Now the poor guy is on the verge of losing his job. [Buzzfeed]
We’ve lost some great people in Hollywood because of prescription drug abuse, Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger, and now Brittany Murphy. The Clueless star died from pneumonia on December 20, 2009, but Los Angeles County coroner’s office said that “multiple drug intoxication” also contributed to her death. [Yahoo]

New From Paris With Love Trailer

Krystal Clark — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 17:17:30 +0000

Yesterday we brought you news that Pierre Morel had been tapped to take on the big screen remake of the sci-fi property Dune, and now a new trailer has been released for his latest film. From Paris With Love stars a very bald John Travolta and a confused Jonathan Rhys Meyers, in an action ode to the eighties. On the surface the movie doesn’t look any different from what we’re used to seeing, but this trailer tries to set it apart.

From Paris With Love centers on a low ranking intelligence officer (Meyers) working in France at the U.S. Ambassador’s office. He bites off more than he can chew when he’s paired up with a high ranking, wise-cracking, over the top senior agent, who is played by an over the top John Travolta.

I like senseless violence from time to time, but this movie tries too hard to be in your face with it. Correction, John Travolta tries too hard to be in your face. The actor is selling his character as a ticking time bomb, with his Tony Stark goatee, and gold hoop earring. Sometimes subtlety is your friend John.

Here’s the latest trailer from the film that stole one minute and 14 seconds I can never get back…

From Paris With Love hits theaters on February 5, 2010.

What do you think of the second trailer for Pierre Morel’s latest film? Are you interested in seeing it?

New From Paris With Love Posters

Krystal Clark — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:24:02 +0000

Amongst all the films that get thrown at us every year it’s hard to remember who’s coming out with what and when. Case and point, did it slip anyone elses mind that John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers‘ film, From Paris With Love was still a pending release? Apparently it’s still going strong and over at CraveOnline, they’ve got two new posters from the film that features both actors doing their best bad ass imitations.

From Paris With Love is directed by Pierre Morel and centers on a low-ranking intelligence operative (Meyers) working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent (Travolta) who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack.

The plot sounds like the outline to any and every buddy cop movie from the 1980′s, but somehow this movie thinks it can be different. It really sucks how Jonathan Rhys Meyers keeps getting offered these types of roles, he’s so much better than this. He is ridiculously talented, tune in to an episode of The Tudors and you’ll see what I mean. As for Travolta, apparently this movie was filmed around the same time as The Taking of Pelham 123. Here’s to hoping it doesn’t share the same fate.

From Paris With Love is scheduled to hit theaters on February 5th, 2010

Red Band From Paris With Love Trailer

Krystal Clark — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:30:27 +0000

Here’s a profanity laced look at the upcoming action film, From Paris With Love. We brought you a teaser trailer a while back, and now here’s the red band version to feed your appetite for senseless violence. The film centers on a low ranking intelligence officer (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) working in France at the U.S. Ambassador’s office. He bites off more than he can chew when he’s paired up with a high ranking, wise-cracking, over the top senior agent, who is played by a very bald John Travolta.

Watch the bullets, violence, and mayhem ensue…

This film scares me, and not because of the violence. It looks like both John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers are trying too hard in their roles. It’s almost cartoonish in a way. The fact that Travolta’s character is called Wax, doesn’t help matters either. From Paris With Love is directed by Pierre Morel and will hit theaters on February 5, 2010.

I’m convinced Travolta filmed this film back to back with The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3. He’s obviously doing the same character in both movies physically and mentally.

It’s that time again. It’s time for another Biblical film to be produced. It’s only been a week since I brought you the news about Samson and Delilah’s return to the big screen, and now it’s time for another.

According to THR, Belle will play the title role, while Meyers will perform double duty as both Gabriel and Satan.
