Cast To Reshoot Scenes For 'Gangster Squad' Following Colorado Massacre
As a result of the Aurora cinema massacre in Colorado last month, the cast of "Gangster Squad" is back on the set to reshoot some scenes.
Following the Colorado shooting, in which 12 people died, Warner Bros. pulled trailers for the film from cinemas because footage included a shoot-out at a movie theatre.
Studio execs have taken further action by completely removing the insensitive scenes, which were filmed at Hollywood's famous Chinese Theatre.

Two Jews' Review 'Man On A Ledge' And Both Say 'Jump Off' (Video)
Two Jews on Film - By Joan Alperin Schwartz: A former NYPD officer, Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) escapes from Sing-Sing. His next stop is the famed Roosevelt Hotel on 45th and Madison in the heart of New York City. Nick checks in, making sure his room is on one of the highest floors.
Nick orders a lobster and a bottle of champagne. He eats, drinks a glass of the bubbly, wipes off his fingerprints, writes a short note, takes a few deep breaths and then steps outside onto a ledge, a ledge that is 225 feet above The Big Apple.

Review: 'Real Steel' 'Two Jews On Film' Have Split Decision On This Action Fantasy (Video)
Two Jews on Film: By Joan Alperin Schwartz - The year is 2020. Things look pretty much the same as they do now... Except in the world of boxing. Humans have evolved to the point where they no longer get excited by watching men and women pummel each other. Score one for us.
What we have instead is 'Robot Boxing' which I have to say is...really, really cool...especially the way it's depicted in this new fantasy, action film, called 'Real Steel' directed by Shawn Levy.
First of all, these 'robot boxers' aren't your everyday garden variety robots. These animatronic, mechanical men are ov...

Anthony Mackie Under Threat On War Movie Set
Actor Anthony Mackie has ruled out making another lifelike war movie after constantly fearing for his life - for real - while filming The Hurt Locker in Jordan.
The actor, who portrayed Tupac Shakur in Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious, admits he didn't have a great experience on the set of the gritty new film, in which he plays an army bomb squad expert. However, sandstorms and poor conditions were the least of his worries - there was a constant threat that he and his cast mates could be killed.

Movie Spotlight: 'Notorious'
In the last few years, biopics, namely music biopics have become a routine. It's only fitting that Notorious becomes this year's first.
Almost twelve years after his death, Christopher Wallace's story gets the big screen treatment. But the journey from story to screen hasn't been easy. Notorious struggled in development and Training Day's Antoine Fuqua was once attached to direct. Many artists, like Sean Kingston, have made it clear that they had an interest in playing Biggie but none of this was proven as fact. Under the guidance of director George Tillman, Jr. the cast and scri...

Music Biopics: What's Been Done, What's In The Works, & What We Want
The biopic is a longstanding Hollywood tradition. There are the big budget epics like the now infamous Elizabeth Taylor vehicle "Cleopatra," David Lean's masterpiece, "Lawrence of Arabia," or Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi." Then there are the smaller pictures chronicling the equally gripping stories of those less celebrated. Daniel Day Lewis' portrayal of the Irish cerebral palsy painter, Christy Brown in "My Left Foot," or Bill Condon's 2004 film "Kinsey" about human sexuality researcher Alfred Kinsey come to mind.
