"American Gladiators"to Become a Movie

Based on the hit TV series American Gladiators, a movie coming.

“The film will be based on the TV show that first aired in 1988 and has been on the air every year except one during the past 20 years. Most recently, NBC aired a primetime installment in 2008,” Variety said.

The goal is to create an action story that takes place inside the world Ferraro has created. They better come up with one hell of a script if they really want to get the people excited. Former Legendary Pictures chief marketing officer Scott Mednick is producing American Gladiators. This is like telling me there is going to be a WWE movie, I really not excited about this is any way.

Real Housewives of New Jersey

Real Housewives fans, Brace yourselves, couse of the Jersey girls have arrived — and they aren't holding back on the drama.

After Bravo's highly-rated series preview aired back in April, many viewers are expecting The Real Housewives of New Jersey (Tuesday at 11 pm/ET) to be something out of The Sopranos. But housewife Caroline Manzo — the mama bear of the bunch — thinks it's all just talk.

"We tell it like it is. We are about family. We're about having fun ... You know, Sopranos was great and I guess that's what's going to sell the show. But I think you'll be pleasantly surprised when you see the group of us, that we're moms, we're sisters, we're daughters, we're friends, and it's just, you know, we're housewives for real. We're the real deal," said Manzo. If the preview is any inclination, they're also real tough cookies.

Aria The Natural Part 2 DVD Collection

Have you heard of Aria yet? If not then you're missing out on one of the most unique shows ever to come from Japan. I say that because Aria doesn't feature fan service, there are no giant robots, no evil doers out to take over the world, no heroes searching for glory, and no overarching plot churning away in the background. At its most basic Aria is a show about the every day life of a gondolier as she grows accustomed to the world around her. It's not exactly the most exciting series in the world, but it's certainly one of the most unique.
The thing that separates Aria apart from so many other shows is its attitude. This series is so laid back it's not even funny. When you watch an episode dedicated to learning how the mail is delivered, you'll understand what I mean. The focus of this anime is skewed to the every day life. The simple life takes up a big piece of the pie here and ultimately it's simply a relaxing adventure that is the anime equivalent to taking a nice long vacation.
We've already seen Aria: The Animation on DVD, but Rightstuf! finally got around to releasing the sequel season, The Natural. Separated into two boxed sets, this review looks at the second part which features 13 episodes that make up the remainder of the show.
Whether you're returning to the world of Aria, or are new to it, you should know that The Natural is a continuation of the original story. This new season is not a reboot of the franchise in any way like so many other anime shows tend to do. That means if you experienced the first season then the journey continues and there's a great deal of continuity in between.
Aria takes place well into the future where Mars has been covered with water via terraforming. The red planet becomes a vibrant blue one and it's a virtual water world, so much so that it has been renamed Aqua. With H20 being the name of the game here, it's no surprise that the series focuses on a city similar to Venice in a way known as Neo Venezia. Naturally with its beautiful, unique vistas Neo Venezia is a tourist trap for folks who don't live there. While Neo Venezians are used to the watery world, people from Manhome (Earth) are not. Even so, many flock to the planet for tours through the canals and working for the Aria Company, a prestigious tour group, is a sought after career. Aria follows the exploits of a girl from Manhome named Akari who desires nothing more than being an undine, or a female gondolier.
We've already watched the introductory part of The Natural and thankfully it proved to be every bit the worthy successor of the original season. Watching Aria constantly proves itself to be the anime equivalent of a vacation. You're checking out the locals, soaking in the beauty, getting to know your tour guide, and just kicking back to relax. Nothing of consequence really happened, but then again that's kind of the point of this series. It's a charming slice of life on an alien world, in the future, with cat-like creatures that operate a massive touring industry. What's so weird about that?
Akari's adventures with Aria Company continue as she keeps on training, meeting new people, and experiencing new things. In this block of episodes we explore more of the secondary characters through shared past experiences, Akari gets a new gondola, one of the characters gets a haircut, and Akari takes a ride on a fascinating cat train. The show even throws in some tidbits with a parallel world, but it certainly doesn't go off on some science fiction tear.
As was the case with the first boxed set for The Natural the second offers up some more simple slice of life anime. Virtually nothing happens here other than the characters living their lives. There are no big plots at work, no evil forces lurking beneath the surface, and hardly any conflict. This is the anime equivalent of a vacation and it's every bit as relaxing as that comparison would imply. With that being said the show can still be kind of boring at times and it's certainly not for everyone. If you know what you're getting yourself into then you'll absolutely fawn over this show and it's strongly recommend for those looking for something different and low key.

Down and Dirty with Jim Norton

The ShowJim Norton is a divisive comic, as he is incredibly filthy, drawing no lines between his personal life and on-stage persona. His act has no boundaries, rather it joyfully wallows in sex, perversion, a lack of political correctness and general offensiveness. While that may turn a lot of people off, that honesty and twisted worldview is part of why he's earned such a following (especially among listeners of the Opie & Anthony radio program, where he's become such a fixture he deserves to be mentioned on an even level with the two hosts.
The entertainment industry has begun to notice Norton, with appearances on Jay Leno's late-night series and recently a hosting gig on his own short-run stand-up series, "Down and Dirty." In this role, Norton opens with a short set that covers his usual topics, like things that annoy him, prostitution or having sex with fat girls; banters with Lemmy from Motorhead, and introduces the comics with quick segues. Why Lemmy is on the show is something of a mystery, as he doesn't seem to contribute much outside of the show's theme song, as he sits in a balcony with some sound equipment, waiting for someone to reference him (which Norton, and every other comic, does.) Norton seems perfect for the part, both being quite funny and good at emceeing.
The show features a handful of up-and-coming comics who fit with Norton's style, in some of the shortest sets ever. With some of these comics, it feels like they are introduced, come out to applause, grab the mic and say "Thanks for coming. Good night!" It's one of those mixed blessings, as you just want more from the really funny comics, and are thankful to see the lesser lights get off the stage, but three minutes of stand-up is hardly an appetizer. There's a fine mix of acts in these four episodes, and though there's a shared sense of humor among them, none of them are Norton clones. There's almost like a caste system, as you have a few unknowns, a couple of rising stars and some well-established second-stringers. Among the highlight acts are O & A regulars Jim Florentine and Jim Jeffries, two outstandingly candid stand-ups, and newcomers Anthony Jeselnik and Kevin Shea. Jeffries has one of the most charismatic, natural deliveries I've seen for such an energetic comic, while Jeselnik is incredibly dark, which goes against his Dane Cook looks...

A Day at the Beach

Code Red has released Roman Polanski's "lost masterpiece" (as it states on the DVD front cover), A Day at the Beach, the 1970 adaptation of Heere Heeresma's 1962 novel about a day in the life of a spiraling-down alcoholic (which in turn was remade as Een Dagje Naar Het Strand in 1984 by slain Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh). Written by Polanski and directed by first-time director Simon Hesera, A Day at the Beach was apparently never released in the U.S., and subsequently "lost" by Paramount (some kind of legal glitch?), and has had only sporadic film festival showings since 1970. Intended as Polanski's directorial follow-up to his previous Paramount smash-hit, Rosemary's Baby, Polanski withdrew from the project after the murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, and their baby (it's been written that the film was subsequently suppressed by the studio out of respect for Polanski). These notoriety factors, along with the promise of seeing a cameo by Peter Sellers during the nadir of his film career, have kept A Day at the Beach a cult title that many film fans have heard about, but very few have seen.

Set near an unnamed British seaport (although the film looks like it was filmed in Denmark), A Day at the Beach follows alcoholic, failed intellectual Bernie's (Mark Burns) day trip with his "niece," Winnie (Beatie Edney, already a gifted actress here). Arriving in a miserable, drizzling rain, Bernie isn't exactly welcomed by either Winnie's mother, Melissa (Fiona Lewis), nor her husband, Carl. At times both insulting and threatening, he obsequiously bums money off Carl, so he can take Winnie out in a proper fashion...which really means money he'll use to buy alcohol. A look of absolute dread crosses Melissa's face when she sees Bernie, but Winnie, who appears to be around six-years-old, is delighted to see her beloved uncle. But this show of affection - as with any sign of anything civilized coming from anyone Bernie encounters - is met with selfish cruelty. Winnie, who wears a leg brace due to some unnamed handicap, is asked by Bernie if she doesn't have any trousers "to hide those irons." Winnie dutifully trots back to change, but Bernie hurries her into her yellow rain slicker and they're off for the day.
And what a miserable, wet, cold day it turns out to be for them. Constantly raining, the two grab a train for the seaside (but not before Bernie is smacked around by loan shark Louis, played by Bertel Lauring) where Bernie spends the entire day boozing it up every chance he gets, insulting the various tradesmen he encounters while scamming alcohol off them, and ignoring Winnie to the point where we often fear for her safety. A chance meeting with a "friend," Nicholas (Maurice Roeves), a former poet and now teacher, leads to more drinking with Nicholas and his wife, Tonie (Joanna Dunham), who responds sexually to Bernie's insulting behavior, and more neglect for Winnie, who's locked in a car with Nicholas' and Tonie' small son. Fueled by self-pitying rage and alcohol, the night spins further out of control for Bernie, despite the totally inadequate reassurances by small child Winnie that everything will be alright...

Donkey Punch [Unrated]

Before I can go anywhere with this review: any unsuspecting viewers who don't know what a donkey punch is are advised to hit up Urban Dictionary immediately, and the faint of heart or sexually prudish should probably avoid the movie entirely. Anyone who does know has probably already heard of the movie; if there's anything to be said for the film, it's got a hell of an attention-grabbing title. But a title like Donkey Punch brings a handful of tonal expectations, and unfortunately the movie ignores all of them: it's not exploitative or grindhousey enough to be a brutal joyride, nor is it a horror-comedy, and all that leaves for the film to coast on are style (lots) and innovation (none).
The plot is vintage teen slasher: Tammi (Nichola Burley), Kim (Jaime Winstone) and Lisa (Sian Breckin) are vacationing in Spain, trying to help Tammi get over a broken relationship while having a bit of risque fun. At the very first bar, they meet Marcus (Jay Taylor), Josh (Julian Morris) and Bluey (Tom Burke), who suggest that the whole group return to their yacht for a few drinks. Like screenwriter clockwork, Tammi is reluctant, but the other girls talk her into it, and they quickly find themselves drinking, drugging, and getting intimate, until something terrible and unexpected occurs.
Anyone who's seen a slasher movie in the past twenty years will know that the nice girl is meant to be the hero while anyone who does anything R-rated gets the axe, and the big question is whether this tried and true template is meant to empower or exploit women. It's clear that the intense sexuality behind Donkey Punch is meant to bring another element to the debate, but the characterizations kill any chance at subtext. Tammi's nice-girl arc thuds loudly whenever co-writer/director Olly Blackburn or co-writer David Bloom try to hint at her reluctance, and Kim and Lisa are such unlikable, annoying people that you just don't care whether they live or die. Tammi has an equally ineffective counterpart in Sean (Robert Boulter), who is on the ship when the group arrives, whose presence as the Nice Guy to Tammi's Nice Girl thuds with hers in unison. Frankly, with these two characters and the plot I've already provided, I'd be surprised if you couldn't accurately determine what happens in the entire movie with a little bit of effort.
Much like Shuttle, another recent horror film I reviewed, Donkey Punch contains several bouts of idiocy from the characters that snaps my suspension of disbelief. In the same way that it seems ridiculous that several adult humans can't escape an airport shuttle, I have an equally hard time accepting that nobody tries to simply leap overboard and swim to the closest shore. Sure, they're pretty far out in the middle of nowhere (and I probably missed some sort of exposition about sharks or something), but if the alternative is death, it seems like there's nothing to lose. Poor decisions aren't limited to the heroines either, as Julian Morris's character beocmes increasingly less believable as the movie progresses. Tom Burke's Bluey is far more interesting: he doesn't seem to have as clearly defined a side in the movie's central conflict, and you feel like he could change loyalties at any moment.
Of course, I could have forgiven the movie's flaws if it was any fun, but it mostly isn't. I've already mentioned my dislike for the term "torture porn" in a review, but I can agree that the modern horror movie is less like the haunted-house rollercoasters of the 80's and is instead brutal and cold-blooded. Donkey Punch is no different, delivering reel after reel of depressing twists. As for that style, the movie certainly is slick, with a sun-drenched look that accurately accentuates the movie's indulgent fantasy concept. Horror fans will also appreciate that the movie is both bloody and revealing; moments involving a butterfly knife and a flare gun will satisfy the audience's craving for violence and Donkey Punch's unrated cut ctonains some of the most graphic nudity I can remember seeing in a modern movie.
All in all, I'm willing to accept that the movie is fairly well made, and anyone who doesn't mind the downer tone and the familiar genre tropes will probably enjoy Donkey Punch on a certain level, but I saw the poster (specifically, a UK poster with a bloody boat motor) and the title and I expected something else. I appreciate the value of a good, shocking title, but a little more of the outrageousness promised by a movie called Donkey Punch would have gone a long way in my book.
