The femme fatale is alive and well in Los Angeles-set indie “No Way Out,” an old-fashioned noir dressed up in the steamy decadence of an erotic thriller. Trouble is, veteran producer Keith Kjarval’s debut solo screenplay doesn’t provide the kind of memorable characters or sharp plotting needed to punch across a dark crime melodrama. Nor does first-time feature director Azi Rahman’s reasonably stylish walk on the wild side seduce sufficiently as a stylistic exercise, reaching for “Irreversible”-esque shock value without ever seeming very surprising or transgressive.
There’s enough sex and violence here to hold attention for an hour and a half, but the care or conviction to explain why it all happens — let alone why viewers should care — proves elusive. Vertical Entertainment is opening the film on a handful of U.S. theater screens on August 8, simultaneous with release to digital and VOD, where its primary audience will be found.

"I met a girl... she's gone." Vertical Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for an indie crime thriller titled No Way Out, formerly known as Whisper, set in Los Angeles. This is debuting in August if anyone is interested in watching. Joey Bicicchi stars as a budding photographer who arrives to L.A. and falls hard for the quirky young woman Tessa, played by Australian singer / actress Maia Mitchell. So far this is the most cliche L.A. plot setup ever, and of course something bad is going to happen next. They are embroiled in a passionate relationship fueled by sex, drugs and risk that quickly reaches a boiling point when she asks him to do something dangerous. The cast also includes Ashley Nicole Williams, Guy Burnet, Katelyn Pippy, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Luke Brandon Field, & Andy Cohen. This looks especially cheesy and so excruciatingly unoriginal it's not even worth watching this trailer.

Hey Guys,
I just had an idea for a new feature for the website, where we will have listed all the people who are on twitter who are in the TV world. That place will be here in this post, and we can try to keep it up to date with all the latest shows and people joining from around the globe with connections to television.
Of course, I don't have the names and twitter accounts for all the people on twitter, but I've made a start and now you can send in all the twitter accounts you know of for us to add to the collection :)

A number of young stars were present at Variety's 4th Annual Power of Youth event at Paramount Studios in Hollywood, California. Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian's half sister Kendall Jenner, Bailee Madison and Bella Thorne were among those who attended the event which was held to celebrate young stars and their involvement with philanthropic and humanitarian causes.
Bieber hit the Sunday afternoon, October 24 event in an orange shirt and dark trousers. The "Baby" hitmaker was honored at the gala for his work with Pencils of Promise, a philanthropic organization that works with local communities to build schools and increase educational opportunities worldwide.

“Army Wives” is a show that has become a fan favorite and an outright good drama to watch.

Brown, Drew Fuller, Terry Serpico, and Katelyn Pippy. The show follows these army wives that are living on an active Army post as their husbands go in and out of the current war in Iraq. The show tackles the struggles these real women face as well as their friendships and how the war affects the entire family.
Catherine Bell recently sat down with People and told them what we can expect from the season 4 premiere episode tonight.

Where would television be without wives? Audiences love 'em, and seemingly can't get enough of them. Footballer's Wives, Desperate Housewives, politician's wives (The Good Wife), special forces wives (The Unit), we're drawn to their strife and melodrama like catnip, with declarations of "Ohh, I can't believe she just did that!" Where, too, would Lifetime be without the wives? Ever ready to be placed in jeopardy or knocked around by cruel, unfeeling men, they're the network's staple. How did Family Guy describe Lifetime again? Oh yes..."Welcome to Lifetime - where men are evil and will hurt you, because this is Lifetime."
Army Wives, now available on DVD for it's third season, is the highest rated show the network has ever seen. That's not to say that it's success comes from the pungent aroma of estrogen slapped on with a trowel. On the contrary, by Lifetime's own standards this is decidedly...
