Despite some serious star power on the bill, this lightweight sporting drama never gets off the ropes
There’s an interesting story to be told about Jem Belcher, the Bristol bare-knuckle prizefighter and Champion of All England in the early years of the 19th century who became a working-class hero and pop-culture icon mentioned by Dickens and Conan Doyle. This biopic is clearly a labour of love for its writer-producer-star Matt Hookings, himself the son of a boxing champion, David Pearce, the “Welsh Rocky”.
Hookings’ feature suggests that Belcher was the first star boxer, a pioneer of the modern sport – and speculates he was even one of the first to use gloves. But despite the film’s historical interest, it plays like a Carry On film without the gags, and the way it is shot makes it look like a coffee commercial. Russell Crowe rumbles and grumbles and grins his...

Two men arrested last year in the deaths of model Christy Giles and her architect friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola have been charged with murder, rape and accessory after the fact by the Los Angeles County District Attorney.
“I recognize that these charges are a small consolation to the friends and family members of Ms. Arzola and Ms. Giles,” D.A. George Gascón said Tuesday in a downtown press conference officially announcing the new charges against David Pearce and Brandt Osborn. “And although we know nothing can bring these daughters and friends back to us, I promise that my office will do everything in its power to hold those that harmed them accountable.”
The complaint (read it here) was filed June 24 by Deputy D.A. Catherine Mariano.
Looking at multiple rape and drug charges as well as two counts of murder, the incarcerated Pearce could face life in prison if found guilty.

A man was arrested on the set of CBS‘s NCIS: Los Angeles on Wednesday for his alleged involvement in the deaths of model Christy Giles and her friend Hilda Marcela Cabrales-Arzola. According to Deadline, 42-year-old Brandt Osborn was apprehended by police while working as an extra on the long-running procedural. Osborn was being used as a pedestrian for a scene shooting near the corner of Cahuenga and Hollywood boulevards. Nothing indicates he was anywhere near the show’s primary cast. In November, Giles and Cabrales-Arzola’s bodies were dumped by masked men outside Southern California Hospital in Culver City and Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center. Giles was pronounced dead at the scene, while Cabrales-Arzola was admitted in critical condition — her family took her off life support on November 27. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested two other men, David Pearce and Michael Ansbach, alongside Osborn for their alleged involvement in the crime.

The beautiful game has not been embraced by the seventh art in quite the same way as its American equivalent. Yet Soccer, or Football as we have it here, has a simplicity which makes for a thrilling and uncomplicated conflict, and yet few filmmakers centre their stories around it. Baseball is well served with A League of Their Own, Field of Dreams, The Natural, and many more, capturing the passion and drama of the game. The American variant of football has too, with Friday Night Lights, The Waterboy and Any Given Sunday showing off the variety of stories that can be told around the game. But Football (‘Soccer’) trails behind in the cinematic stakes.
That’s not to say that there aren’t some cracking films that have used football to build their dramatic stories. There is an inbuilt connection to the game, an understanding by osmosis of the importance...

The Snow White movie battle is getting dirty. Snow White and the Huntsman, originally set for a December 2012 release, has leapfrogged The Brothers Grimm: Snow White in targeting June 1, 2012 for its release. This means both rival Snow White movies are scheduled to debut in June 2012, with Grimm having previously set a June 29 release. It also means Judd Apatow's This is Forty, which was supposed to come out June 1, will be pushed back to December 2012 as Universal has swapped their two projects. History has shown that in the cinematic battle of pairs, the first film to enter the ring usually has the upper hand.
In related news, Deadline has confirmed the casting of Chris Hemsworth (Thor) as the titular Huntsman in Snow White and the Huntsman.
Production will begin this summer on the Paranormal Activity-esque sequel The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes. The film will look at the...
