With its plot of an undercover cop infiltrating an underworld subculture of design cars and synth-pop soundtrack, "No Man's Land" is the slick 1987 equivalent of "The Fast and the Furious" (2001)

"NO MAN'S LAND was a personal favorite of mine when I was an impressionable young lad. How can it not? Hot Porsches, fine women and Charlie Sheen at his prime-- acting with his cigarettes, designer clothes and impeccable hair is a mix strong enough to sway any young “cool guy” wannabee".

"Most of Charlie Sheen's performance is seen through a cloud of tobacco so thick it's as if Sheen is telegraphing his later battles with drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes by showing how completely dependent on coffin sticks his Varrick character really is. Since he's never really villainous (just cold and calculated), you don't feel the need to root against him". Source: www.dvdverdict.com

Lindsay Lohan receives standing ovation at Jay Leno's show, confirmed for Gotti film



"Tonight" host Jay Leno asked the 24-year-old about touchy subjects including her court appearance and brief jailing Friday, her family and what she's learned from her experiences.The person spoke on condition of anonymity because NBC had announced Lohan's appearance, but not its details. Lohan's interview with Leno was taped separately at the conclusion of Monday's show.
During the interview, Lohan said being sentenced to 120 days in jail was "shocking" and said it left her "kind of numb," according to RadarOnline.com. Then Leno asked Lohan, “At what point did you realize, ‘Oh my God, I could lose this, this could slip away from me?’”
“I think that when, you know, being young and being in the position I was in, you don’t really take the time to appreciate what you have and it’s all kind of a whirlwind, and people make decisions for you,” replied Lohan. But I’m not a kid anymore -- I’m 24, I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I recognize that. I’m in the clear now, and as long as I stay focused, I can achieve what I want to achieve.”

The "Mean Girls" actress is a late addition to Tuesday's show, knocking a scheduled guest, Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth, to another date.

Lohan told the "Tonight" audience that she's playing the wife of John Gotti Jr. in the crime family movie, "Gotti: Three Generations." Her casting in the role was announced last week but it was unclear if her legal woes might affect it.
A Los Angeles judge sentenced Lohan to 120 days last Friday for violating her probation by taking a designer necklace, a charge the judge reduced from felony grand theft to a misdemeanor. The actress's attorneys appealed the jail sentence, Lohan's fourth, and she was freed on bond after a few hours behind bars.
The actress is currently on bail after spending five hours in the Lynwood Correctional Facility following the preliminary hearing into her alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace". Source: www.nypost.com

"CHARLIE Sheen is down to one so-called "goddess", with the troubled star revealing his relationship woes during his stage show.
Sheen opened his show in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, by telling the audience that porn actress Bree Olson broke up with him via text message, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The news comes after Olson, whose real name is Rachel Oberlin, last week denied reports that she had left the former Two and a Half Men star for a second time.
She and marijuana magazine model Natalie "Natty" Kenly were accompanying the actor on his 18-city "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option" tour.
During the show Sheen also invited Lindsay Lohan to hang out with him after she was released from a Los Angeles jail on bail pending an appeal of a four-month jail sentence imposed for violating her probation stemming from a previous drink-driving charge.
"I would hug her and let her know it's gonna be OK," he said, when an audience member asked if he had words of wisdom for the troubled star". Source: www.perthnow.com.au

Meek's Cutoff Official Trailer, starring Michelle Williams, Bruce Greenwood and Paul Dano In theaters: April 8th, 2011

The year is 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail, and a wagon team of three families has hired the mountain man Stephen Meek to guide them over the Cascade Mountains. Claiming to know a short cut, Meek leads the group on an unmarked path across the high plain desert, only to become lost in the dry rock and sage.Michelle Williams as Emily Tetherow in "Meek's Cutoff"

Over the coming days, the emigrants must face the scourges of hunger, thirst and their own lack of faith in each other's instincts for survival. When a Native American wanderer crosses their path, the emigrants are torn between their trust in a guide who has proven himself unreliable and a man who has always been seen as the natural enemy.

MICHELLE WILLIAMS: My hands have aged at a rate disproportionate to the rest of my body because of being out there in the hot sun for two months. You couldn’t keep sunscreen on your hands; you were just sort of filthy all the time. But the dresses, they were ingenious for so many reasons. They actually do keep you quite cool, because they’re cotton, and they also provide cover. Privacy is important to women, and when you’re on the trail like that, so little is afforded. But with the dress, you can actually go to the bathroom in private. It provides an incredible shield. You could literally be in a conversation with somebody and just sort of drop down . . . I read once that when James Dean was feeling inhibited on set, he went off into a corner and urinated. I thought, How interesting! Then having that experience of peeing in private underneath the dress . . . [laughs] At first I was really scared. You’re out there in the desert all day. I mean, what are you going to do when you’re a girl? It’s hard. We were scared about snakes and all these creatures and critters, and it finally just became this weird joy to be out there, just stuck behind the bush . . . I can’t believe I’m still talking about this. Source: interviewmagazine.com

It's not mentioned what role Hirsch will be taking, but production is slated to start this summer. For those just joining us, you can find details on the story below.
The story follows two young, independent Laguna Beach marijuana kingpins (Kitsch and Johnson) who are blackmailed into working for the Baja Cartel after their girlfriend Ophelia (Blake Lively) is kidnapped and held for a ransom of every last dollar they've made for the past five years. Travolta will play a burned out DEA agent named Dennis while Thurman plays Ophelia's mother. The meanwhile, Benicio del Toro is playing a cartel enforcer named Lado and Salma Hayek as a Mexican cartel queen-pin named Elena. Sounds pretty damn good to me and the cast just keeps getting better and better, too". Source: www.firstshowing.net

Michelle Williams, Marilyn Monroe and Catherine Deneuve

Michelle Williams wanted to fight Mike Tyson when she was a child.

The "Blue Valentine" star yearned to be a boxer when she was growing up and dreamed of lacing up the gloves and taking on the former heavyweight champion of the world.
She said: "First I wanted to be a boxer. I don't know why but I wanted to fight Mike Tyson. That was the dream". However, Michelle quickly realised her pugilistic ambition would not be realised and turned her focus to acting.
Michelle told Stylist magazine: "I started doing plays when I was eight. I always wanted to act. At 16, I moved away to Los Angeles. [Emancipation] is basically like divorcing them. You have to prove that you are emotionally and financially stable and independent. You have to have graduated high school and you have to prove that you can live alone."
"I did one commercial at first every six months and that was enough."
The 30-year-old actress is now enjoying a successful film career - which includes her taking on the role of screen icon Marilyn Monroe in upcoming movie "My Week with Marilyn" - and she insists she still has a strong work ethic". Source: www.celebrity-mania.com

"I admire Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet", she said. "I like a lot of comedians. I like Cameron Diaz - she's funny and has a very light spirit. That's quite rare nowadays. There are many actresses I admire."
The two-time Academy Award nominee also revealed that Marilyn Monroe ranks as her favourite actress of all time.
She remarked: "Marilyn Monroe has my greatest admiration… She was able to do everything! I saw her as one of the best actresses; she could go from comedy to drama. Being great at both is very difficult. And she was so beautiful. On screen, it was like the light was coming from her." Source: www.digitalspy.co.uk
