Adrien Brody, to his credit, is not an actor who shies away from doing horror films.  A lot of actors look down on them, but Brody doesn’t.  From Predators to Splice, Brody has made a lot of horror appearances, and here’s hoping he continues the trend.  However, there’s a problem over his appearance in the 2009 Dario Argento horror film Giallo:  Brody is suing the producers, saying they shorted him $640,000 and released the film on DVD in America without his permission.

For their part, Giallo Productions Limited and Hannibal Picturessay that Brody was paid nearly $1 million dollars for his work on the film, and he’s not due any more money.  Brody maintains that they exaggerated the value of Italian film rights and never discussed releasing the film in America.  Brody filed his lawsuit yesterday; a last-minute injunction to try and halt the film’s US DVD home video release was denied, but Brody can still sue to get his fair share of that money.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
