Hailey Baldwin prefers to work out in lingerie and pretty much nothing else as shown in her just-released video for day thirteen of Love Magazine’s advent calendar.
The 21-year-old is the most recent model to star in the ultra-sexy countdown to Christmas, which has featured several stunning women, showing off their sex appeal and strength as part of the magazine’s “#StayStrong” theme. To showcase her skills, Baldwin took to New York City’s Dog Pound gym but ditched her leggings and sports bra for something a bit more revealing: a white Agent Provocateur lingerie set.

All the signs of neglect are there. She’s been overbred, has ear infections, skin infections, dry eye in both eyes, and multiple mammary tumors — one as big as an orange.

Microbe et Gasoil
Director: Michel Gondry // Writer: Michel Gondry
Though his last feature, 2013’s zany and effervescent Mood Indigo, had a tortured flight to the box office, the steadily busy Michel Gondry also released a documentary, Is the Man Who is Tall Happy?. Now, he’s reteaming with his Indigo star Audrey Tautou to headline a cast of newcomers with a roadtrip film that recounts the wild adventures of two teenagers who are somewhat marginalised: the tiny “Microbe” and the inventive “Gasoil”. As the summer holidays get ever nearer, the two friends have no intention of spending the two months with their families. So with the help of a lawnmower engine and various planks of wood, they decide to build their own “car” and set off on an adventurous road trip around France.
Cast: Audrey Tautou and a cast of first-time children actors.
Producers: StudioCanal, Partizan Films’ Georges Bermann (Dog Pound)

War is hell, and Saw V director David Hackl is out to prove it's a lot more hellish than you may think with his latest film, Earthworks. There's just one small detail... he's looking to you to help fund a portion of it! Read on for details.
Earthworks is a WWII horror film that follows five American doughboys on their first night in the trenches of the Western Front as they experience the living (and dead) hell that is No Man’s Land. It is to be directed by Hackl and produced by UK outfit Bluebeard Pictures.
“Earthworks exists in an isolated trench/No Man’s Land set and creates a sense of abandonment from the start... Five young American soldiers enter France, and on their first night at an Allied trench, everything goes wrong very quickly. Caught up in a beguiling fog, the young characters each come to different but understandable decisions.

The king of ’90s late night returned Sept. 9 to a warm welcome from critics, fans, and of course, the Dog Pound. Woof!
It’s always risky stepping back into the game — especially when you’ve been out of it for almost 20 years — but it would appear Arsenio Hall hasn’t forgotten any of the rules. The Arsenio Hall Show returned Sept. 9, and while some Twitter users were quick with the snark, true critics are hailing the late-night icon’s triumphant return.
It seems that, rather than attempt to bring himself into 2013, Arsenio brought 2013 back to him — and it totally worked! Though one reviewer noted that the host was a little rusty after nearly two decades, most heralded it as “a walk down memory lane,” one that would likely be considered a “success.”

The prologue of Kim Chapiron's Dog Pound illustrates the drastically different crimes that three teenage boys have committed, thus landing them in the Enola Vale juvenile detention center to serve out their sentences. Butch (Adam Butcher) was charged with aggravated assault of an officer, Davis (Shane Kippel) for narcotics possession with intent to sell and Angel (Mateo Morales) for vehicle theft. The three boys are tossed into a large dormitory room with twenty or so others, presumably representing a menagerie of criminal histories. The mere presence of three new boys is a catalyst for a Darwinian realignment of the power hierarchy. The scariest and most violent will rise to the top of the heap, as the meekest cower at the bottom. At the heart of Dog Pound is the fact that most teenage boys seem hardwired to not rat each other out. The boys brutally attack each other, but nobody talks.

French director Kim Chapiron created quite a stir with his debut effort Sheitan thanks in no small part to an absolutely insane central performance by Vincent Cassel. Chapiron followed that effort with 'kids gone wrong' picture Dog Pound and it would appear he will continue his exploration of wayward youth - although in a radically different setting - with his upcoming Smart Ass (aka La Creme De La Creme). On the first day of term, the dean of their prestigious business school tells his students: "You are the elite... the crème de la crème. Soon the rules of a market economy will no longer be a mystery to you. Learn, work and apply." Kelly, Dan and Louis take him at his word. Starting from the...

The Celebrity Apprentice is perhaps the greatest show in the history of television for the pure absurdity it delivers on a weekly basis. I’ve checked every program on every other channel, and I am confident stating that this is the only place where you will find American Idol runner-up Clay Aiken and former Dog Pound enthusiast Arsenio Hall engaging in giggly wrestling. The hijinks will take place this Sunday, when Arsenio disses and dismisses Clay’s joke-writing ability. This leads Aiken to deliver some achin’ to his teammate while creepy ’70s porn music blares in the background. (This is why I love you,...

Our Day Will Come is released on Blu-ray from Monday 22nd August and we have three copies of the Blu-ray to give away to our readers. Read on to find out how;
The directorial debut of Romain Gavras, best known for his controversial Music videos for M.I.A (Born Free) and Justice (Stress), Our Day Will Come is a bold and savagely humorous outsider epic, telling the story of Patrick (Vincent Cassel) and Remy (Olivier Barthelemy) a pair of outcasts joined together by their dislike of society and their own red hair.
Patrick is a charismatic but cynical therapist, long bored with listening to the banalities of his clients’ problems, he is desperate for any situation he can manipulate for his own amusement. A defining opportunity comes in the form of Remy, an awkward, alienated teenager, bullied by his family and ostracized by his peers who use his red hair as prime ammunition for their taunts.

Writer/cartoonist/Pulitzer Prize winner Berkeley Breathed’s children’s book Flawed Dogs: The Year-End Leftovers at the Piddleton ‘Last Chance’ Dog Pound’ (a mouthful, I know) is en route to its film debut, as it was announced yesterday that DreamWorks has picked up the rights.
Breathed, best known for his long-running comic strip ‘Bloom County’, looks set to experience a profitable 2011, as his book Mars Needs Moms was adapted to film recently by Walt Disney Pictures and is set for a scheduled March 11 release.
The illustrated tale of doggy “undesirables” features a surreal, almost psychedelic art style that is oddly reminiscent of the works of Salvador Dali. With DreamWorks reaching a creative peak recently, it will be interesting to see how they handle this license, and whether its distinct visuals will transfer well to the silver screen.

French director Kim Chapiron’s second feature takes him to Canada for a remake of Scum, the famed 1970’s gritty BBC film about life in a borstal, now entitled Dog Pound.
Four law-breaking teenagers (who we are introduced to via a nifty pre-credits sequence) find themselves incarcerated in a detention centre where revenge and retribution are a daily occurrence where the guards offer little in the way of sympathy or empathy. One of the youngsters, 17 year-old Butch (Adam Butcher), remanded for a violent attack on an officer at his previous institute, struggles to curb his aggression towards the authorities and some of his fellow intimidating inmates.
A film like this really lives or dies on the believability of the cast and Chapiron has assembled an authentic-looking bunch of young actors. They all acquit themselves extremely well and the lead Butcher (in the Ray Winstone role from the original) is particularly impressive,...

Butch, Davis and Angel are new arrivals. They have never met before but they all soon realize that the odds are stacked against them and that their only hope for getting through their sentences is if they watch each others’ backs.

If you loved Alan Clark’s controversial prison flick Scum, then Dog Pound is for you. It really is a knock-out film with a brilliant central performance from newcomer Adam Butcher. Check out the two brand new clips below. It’s definitely worth owning either on Blu-ray or DVD.

French film-maker Kim Chapiron makes an impressive volte-face with the American set Dog Pound. Ostensibly a loose remake of Alan Clark’s controversial Scum (1979), Chapiron’s stylish direction and assured narrative control allows the material to never feel like a cheap imitation.
The director relocates the drama to Nowheresville, USA (actually Montana) and focuses on the experiences of three young boys, each with their own issues and problems, and how they navigate through a tense, new world.
Prison flicks by their very nature are restricted to certain themes and issues. Not until recently with Jacques Audiard’s A Prophet did we get a new take on the genre. Here we follow the lives of three young lads as they are introduced into juvenile detention and the misery that follows. Butch, Angel and Davis are misfits taught a very harsh lesson on the inside as they struggle in various capacities.

Set in a young offenders' institute full of disenfranchised teenage boys, Dog Pound introduces us to Butch, Davies and Angel, new recruits in for various crimes, including drugs, assault and theft and the assault of an officer. The institution's long-term inmates have built a system based on fear and power, with Banks as the ringleader and the most powerful guy at the 'Dog Pound'.
Realising they must stick together to get by, the new-found friends find themselves watching each other's backs. Butch and Davies are subjected to Banks and his gang's violence and general mental torture. The trio join forces and manage even to out-do some of the power-crazed mob. But friendship alone won't save them...

Dog Pound is Scum for the 21st Century, a tough and brutal film set in a young offenders institute for teenage boys that the system doesn’t know what to do with. The long-term inmates have built a rigid power structure based on fear and the guards use the prisoners to let out their own frustrations.
Butch, Davis and Angel are new arrivals. They have never met before but they all soon realize that the odds are stacked against them and that their only hope for getting through their sentences is if they watch each others’ backs. But friendship will only get them so far when their endurance is stretched to the limit…

Son of famed political French filmmaker Costa-Gavras Romain Gavras’ debut Our Day Will Come has been screened at the Toronto Film Festival to mostly positive reviews, with one critic suggesting that Gavras has “created something in the realm of a French Fight Club”.
The film stars Vincent Cassel and Olivier Barthelemy as two redheads who embark on a road trip from France to Ireland to escape all the ginger-related prejudice they’ve faced throughout their lives.
Gavras is a well known provocateur and this film sounds similar in theme to the promo he made for M.I.A earlier this year, a twisted “ginger genocide” narrative which managed to get banned from YouTube. His video for the Justice track Stress is equally controversial, but it’s also incredibly raw and powerful, suggesting Gavras might be following in his Dad’s footsteps.

Review by: Marina Antunes
Rating: 7 out of 10
It’s always quiet ones you have to look out for. At least that’s the case in Kim Chapiron’s Dog Pound.
Taking place at a youth correctional facility in Montana, Chapiron’s film opens with an introduction to three soon-to-be new arrivals at the Enola Vale Youth Correctional Center. We meet Angel, a 15 years old thief, Davis, a 16 year old drug dealer and Butch, at 17, the most soft spoken yet violent of the bunch. The rules at Enola Vale are laid out early on: stay out of trouble and stick to the rehabilitation program and chances are you’ll limit your stay. Not an easy thing for the three newcomers whose arrival immediately pegs them as fresh meat for picking.
Butch takes some of the abuse (though not...

The Maid (15)
(Sebastián Silva, 2009, Chile) Catalina Saavedra, Claudia Celedón, Mariana Loyola. 96 mins
Less a slice of upstairs-downstairs realism than a black comedy that threatens to turn into a horror movie, this Chilean drama has been scooping awards across the globe, mostly for Saavedra's acting. She's a bravely monstrous creation, a long-suffering help whose resentments rise to the boil, particularly when a younger assistant is foisted on her. But just when we're ready to write her off, this agile, low-budget drama turns it round and confronts us with our own heartlessness. That's us served.
Scott Pilgrim Vs The World (12A)
(Edgar Wright, 2010 Us) Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ellen Wong. 112 mins
This tireless tale of modern loserdom, filtered through pop-culture consciousness, will push the buttons of younger fans, with its onslaught of music/comic book/videogame tricks and hipster humour. Older viewers may need a lie down.

Dog Pound is essentially an American re-tooling of Alan Clarke’s seminal television drama-turned-film Scum. Director Kim Chapiron relocates the drama to Nowheresville, USA (actually Montana) and focuses on the experiences of three young boys, each with their own issues and problems, and how they navigate through a tense, new world.
Thrust into the fresh hell of a correctional facility for teenagers, the newbies are met with stern authority and even sterner inmates, naturally leading to confrontation and power struggles.
The prison drama by its very nature is a restrictive genre and can only do so much, but they are rich with subtext and stereotypes to be dissected. Everybody’s favourite remains The Shawshank Redemption, but that romanticised the world of incarceration and the institutionalisation of the individual. Inmates aren’t re-invented by the state, they’re remade – and it can go in either direction.
Thanks to its well-drawn characters...

Dog Pound is just one in a long line of prison flicks that owes a debt to the fierce political savvy of Alan Clarke
Ah, what joy it is to settle back into the plush comfort of a cinema seat and breathe the heady scent of stale sweat, slop buckets and fear. That's assuming, of course, that you enjoy the prison movie, that enduring sub-genre which offers audiences the chance to experience stories of Darwinian survivals of the fittest while generally remaining free of the risk of being shanked on their way to the laundry room.
For the connoisseur of the form, the latest entry is Dog Pound, to be released in the lazy last days of the summer schedule. Director Kim Chapiron's blistering tale of three ordinary(ish) American teens in juvenile detention is, however, anything but wilted.

The trailer gives up a good indication of what to expect, and there’s evidence of some intense performances and the film’s director Kim Chapiron looks to be focusing on the central relationship between a group of inmates before things turn very nasty.

Empire have debuted a new UK poster for Dog Pound. The film, which premiered the Tribeca Film Festival, has been met with acclaim, leading to Optimum Releasing acquiring the UK distribution rights.
Synopsis: Three juvenile delinquents arrive at a correctional center and are put under the care of an experienced guard.
Dog Pound stars Lawrence Bayne, Shane Kippel, Mateo Morales and Adam Butcher and was directed by 30-year-old Kim Chapiron, who was responsible for the 2006 horror feature, Sheitan.
The film resembles that of other prison dramas such as Hunger and A Prophet, with the emphasis this time switching to a juvenile prison, giving a astonishing look at how young people deal with the uncompromising standards of prison.
Check out the UK poster below:
Dog Pound will hit UK cinemas on August 27, 2010.

If there's one thing more likely to leave you staggering dazed from the cinema than a brutally uncompromising prison drama - Bronson, Hunger, A Prophet take a bow - it's an uncompromising juvenile prison drama, with extra levels of searing vérité provided by a cast partly made up of real-life inmates. Step forward, then, Dog Pound and its suitably bruising new quad poster.Inspired in part by Alan Clarke's '70s borstal-set Scum, Dog Pound tells the story of three young inmates at Montana's Enola Vale Youth Correctional Center. As the title implies, it's a dog-eat-dog world for drug dealer Davis (Shane Kippel), car thief Angel (Mateo Morales) and violent tearaway Butch (Adam Butcher). Each learns the hard way that lock-up isn't quite what they remember from old episodes of Porridge.Dog Pound is the handiwork of 20 year-old Parisian Kim Chapiron, whose debut, Faustian horror Sheitan, saw him bring...

We are delighted to report that two Tff 2010 films have announced distribution deals in the past week! Last week, Variety (link requires login) reported that New York-based Elephant Eye Films secured the U.S. rights for Kim Chapiron's Dog Pound, a gritty narrative feature that takes an unsentimental look at the American juvenile justice system. For his efforts, Chapiron won the Best New Narrative Filmmaker Award at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival. Then just today, Codeblack Entertainment acquired Thomas Ikimi's Legacy for a North American release later this year. Legacy stars both Idris Elba and Eamonn Walker in a political thriller that goes undercover with Black Ops soldiers bent on exposing drug dealers and corruption. Shadowandact.com reports that ActNow New Voices In Black Cinema Screening Series will sneak preview the movie in August. More details to come...

Thanks to Dog Pound, I began my coverage of the Tribeca Film Festival in an overwhelmingly fantastic way with high hopes for the screenings to come. From there some were fantastic, some were far from it, but throughout one thing remained constant, Dog Pound was at the top. Clearly others thought as highly of the film as I did, namely the 2010 World Narrative Competition jurors including Hope David, Aaron Eckhart and Cheryl Hines. Just the other evening, writer-director Kim Chapiron was awarded $25,000 and the Best New Narrative Filmmaker honor. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Chapiron.s co-writer, Jeremie Delon, who provided the rundown of how Dog Pound came together. .Georges Bermann, the producer of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind, he approached Kim four years ago, literally four years ago, and said, .Listen, I was to make this movie on juvenile prison in the Us...

The winners of the narrative competition were chosen and presented by a group including actresses Hope Davis and Cheryl Hines, actor Aaron Eckhart, writer John Ridley (U Turn) and directors Gary Winick (13 Going on 30), Gary Ross (Pleasantville) and John Hamburg (I Love You, Man).

Other narrative honors went to director Kim Chapiron (Dog Pound), actor Eric Elmosnino (Gainsbourg, Je t'Aime...Moi Non Plus) and the Italian film Mine vaganti (Loose Cannons), which received a special jury mention "for making us laugh, cry and immediately want to book a trip to Southern Italy."

The award winners for this year's Tribeca Film Festival have been announced, and unlike the debacle at Sundance in which I'd barely even heard of the big winners, I actually managed to see some of these films! When We Leave, the German film I praised as a thoughtful and frequently heartbreaking drama, won the top prize in the World Narrative Competition, and lead actress Sibel Kekilli also took home the prize for Best Actress in a Narrative Feature Film. Meanwhile Dog Pound, which Perri reviewed and called profound and powerful, was handed Best New Narrative Filmmaker for director Kim Chapiron. Other big winners included Best New York Narrative Monogamy, which I really liked, top documentary Monica & David, about two people with Down's Syndrome in a relationship with each other, and The Arbor, which won the Best New Documentary Filmmaker prize.

Tonight, as the Tribeca Film Festival comes to an end, the Festival Awards were announced. This year the jury was comprised of Aaron Eckhart, Jessica Alba, Cheryl Hines, America Ferrera, Justin Bartha, Brooke Shields, Alicia Keys, Zach Braff, Aidan Quinn, Hope Davis, Gary Ross, Selma Blair, Peter Facinelli, Whoopi Goldberg and Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey were among the 35 festival jurors.
The big prize for Best Narrative Feature went to, “When We Leave” (Germany), written and directed by Feo Aladag. Also Best Documentary Feature went to, “Monica & David” (USA) directed by Alexandra Codina. You can read my review of “Monica & David”. The film follows a married couple with Down Syndrome, learning to live together and wanting to gain more adult responsiblities was the most charming film I’ve seen during the festival. The couple accepted the award in New York City.
