Minnie Driver Flies With The Blackbirds

By
There are two Blackbirds currently vying for your attention. One is a Hitchcockian conspiracy thriller directed by David Mamet and starring Cate Blanchett. The other is a music-biz romance coming together at Relativity, with Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life Of Bees) at the helm. It's the latter that concerns us this morning, with the news that Minnie Driver and rapper Machine Gun Kelly have both joined the cast. Danny Glover is already on board, along with Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Undercovers, Touch, Odd Thomas) and Nate Parker (Red Tails).

The film is about Noni Jean (Mbatha-Raw), a musician on the verge of superstardom who's buckling under the pressure and on the verge of suicide until her emotional life is turned around by local cop Kaz (Parker). Their parents urge them to put their careers before their relationship, but together they're able to break free from those controlling voices and find their own direction.

Driver will play Mbatha-Raw's pushy mom. MGK, making his movie debut in a role not a million miles from his own persona, will play Kid Cuprit, a rapper on Noni's label with whom she collaborates before going solo.

Terius Nash, AKA prolific singer-songwriter and producer The-Dream will be providing four new songs for the soundtrack. Ryan Kavanaugh (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Zombieland) and Stephanie Allain (Hustle & Flow, Black Snake Moan) are among the producers, and the film is currently in production, with an eye on a release next year.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
