Blake Lively To Star In MMA Drama Untitled Film

Blake Lively is not the first person who comes to mind when you think of an MMA fighter, though she did fight a shark (with the help of a seagull) in The Shallows last year. But she'll be taking on a much less aquatic challenge for Bruised. Nick Cassavetes is aboard to direct Michelle Rosenfarb's script, which tells the story of Jackie, a single mother trying to make ends meet working two jobs and still haunted by her disgraced Mixed Martial Arts career. And then a new challenge arises when the authorities threaten to take her son away from her. Lacking other ways to drum up the money she needs to sort her life out, she heads back into the cage for one last chance. It could be a familiar story, though we're hoping Cassavetes and the script bring something fresh to it once the cameras start rolling in September. This would make Lively's next project following the aforementioned Shallows and her roles in Cafe Society and Marc Forster drama All I See Is You, which

The Other Woman Review. From A Males Point Of View

The Other Woman Review By: John Meneghetti TV audiences have forgiven characters like Don Draper and Tony Soprano for their marital infidelities over the last several years – possibly awaiting their comeuppance but ultimately drinking in their charm. New relationship comedy The Other Woman doesn’t stand for such caddishness! After finding that they’ve all been sharing the same man, Carly ( Cameron Diaz ), Kate ( Leslie Mann ), and Amber ( Kate Upton ) embark on a mission to make the cheating scoundrel, Mark ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ), regret his philandering. This movie uses humor to paint the heartbreak that unfaithfulness can cause. But instead of portraying female characters who resort to clawing each other’s eyes and weaves out in competition, the three wronged women channel their anger into a wacky revenge scheme that terrorizes Mark in Connecticut, New York, and the Bahamas. The dialogue especially pops when Diaz and Mann lock into quick laugh-inducing exchanges. A

THE OTHER WOMAN Review. Takes Male Bashing To A Whole New Level

THE OTHER WOMAN Review By: Sue The Other Woman takes male bashing to a whole new level, okay for a Girls Night Out. From the director that made everyone sob like little girls with The Notebook , Nick Cassavetes , comes The Other Woman which is the exact opposite of that heartfelt love story. Instead of everlasting love comes a comedy of revenge and friendship, which starts out slow, and never really finds its feet as it stumbles along with slapstick gags and humorless dialogue. After years of dating all the wrong guys, Carly ( Cameron Diaz ) thinks she may have found a winner in Mark ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ), or at least one good enough to ditch the rest of her beaus and become a one man woman, but Mark proves to worse than the men before him. Opening up with a very Notebook lovey dovey rom-com montage, it is quickly dissolved when Mark goes to bed with Carly but wakes up next to his wife, Kate ( Leslie Mann ). Where Carly was smart and sexy, Kate seems to be the

Russell Crowe And Beyonce Born To Be Stars

Russell Crowe And Beyonce Born To Be Stars With a new remake of "A Star Is Born" gaining momentum at Warner Bros., the studio could be closing in on, well, a star. Russell Crowe has emerged as the front-runner to take the lead male role of an aging, alcoholic musician who mentors/is schooled by -- and then finds romance with -- a younger female star. While it's not believed there is a formal offer yet, the studio is very high on the 45-year-old actor, who in turn is said to be keen to take the role. The female part would likely be played by Beyonce, who has long been associated with the role and has recently elevated her interest in it. The three previous iterations of "A Star Is Born" have alternated between settings in the film and the music worlds. The most recent one, the 1976 version from Warner Bros. that starred Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson as doomed pair Esther Hoffman and John Norman Howard, was set in the music world. Nick Cassavetes has re
