It took more than eighteen years for writer/director Nick Cassavetes to manage to get an adaptation of the Boston Teran novel God Is a Bullet (pick up a copy Here) into production, but he stuck with the project, and his film received a wide theatrical release last month. A week ago, it was given a digital release as well – but now it has come to our attention that there are two different cuts of the movie out there. If you seek out the digital version in the United States, you’ll find that the cut available is the full 156 minute cut. But if you go to rent or purchase the digital release in Canada, you’ll find that the movie has been trimmed down to 120 minutes.

We don’t know exactly why the Canadian digital release is 36 minutes shorter than the U.S. digital release. On the Blu-ray.com forums,...

God is a Bullet offers an “unrelenting gauntlet of violence,” and an Nsfw new exclusive clip provided to Bloody Disgusting highlights just how gnarly this revenge thriller can get.

After last month’s theatrical release, God is a Bullet is now available on Digital and VOD.

Check out the exclusive clip below that sees Maika Monroe’s character take no prisoners when chasing down a lead, demonstrating how badly a human body can get mangled. If legs bending in ways they should never bend makes you squeamish, beware.

The film follows “detective Bob Hightower (Coster-Waldau), who finds his ex-wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped by an insidious cult. With the help of the cult’s only female victim escapee, Case Hardin (Monroe), Bob and Case go down the rabbit hole with The Ferryman (Jamie Foxx) to save his daughter and find closure for Case from the cult – and its maniacal...

Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting’s throwback slasher We Might Hurt Each Other (formerly Pensive) is Now Streaming on our Screambox platform beginning today!

The bloody Lithuanian teen horror film was directed by Jonas Trukanas and stars Gabija Bargailaite (Pilgrims), and calls back to slasher classics like Friday the 13th.

In fact, this is Lithuania’s very first slasher movie!

Inspired by local legends, We Might Hurt Each Other follows a group of privileged high school classmates. After these classmates destroy a set of life-size wooden statues during a wild graduation party, a mysterious masked killer begins picking the group off one by one.

A few weeks ago, we learned that Patriot Pictures and XYZ Films are teaming up with Wayward Entertainment to give the Satanic cult thriller God Is a Bullet a wide domestic theatrical release on June 23rd, with a digital release to follow on July 11th. Now a trailer for God Is a Bullet has arrived online, and you can check it out in the embed above to see whether or not this is a movie you’ll want to watch this summer.

Actor turned writer/director Nick Cassavetes, best known to many as the director of The Notebook but to me as the villain in The Wraith, was at the helm of God Is a Bullet, which is based on a novel by Boston Teran (pick up a copy Here). Starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Maika Monroe, the film follows detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who finds his ex-wife murdered and...

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones,” Mama) and an almost unrecognizable Maika Monroe (It Follows, Watcher) take on a bloodthirsty, Satanic cult in God is a Bullet, a revenge thriller based on the best-selling novel by Boston Teran.

The film follows “detective Bob Hightower (Coster-Waldau), who finds his ex-wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped by an insidious cult. With the help of the cult’s only female victim escapee, Case Hardin (Monroe), Bob and Case go down the rabbit hole with The Ferryman (Jamie Foxx) to save his daughter and find closure for Case from the cult – and its maniacal leader (Karl Glusman) – that took so much away from her.”

God is a Bullet releases exclusively in theaters on June 23, 2023. The film will expand to a digital release in the US on July 11, 2023.

The revenge thriller is adapted for the screen and directed by Nick Cassavetes (Alpha Dog, John Q, The...

Maika Monroe, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones), Karl Glusman, January Jones, Paul Johansson, David Thornton, and Jamie Foxx star, with a wide domestic theatrical release happening on June 23, 2023. God Is a Bullet also gets a digital release on July 11, 2023.

Nick Cassavetes directs from a script he wrote inspired by actual events and based on the novel of the same name by Boston Teran. God Is a Bullet tells the following story:

When vice detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) finds his ex-wife murdered and daughter kidnapped by a satanic cult, he is frustrated by bumbling botched official investigations. Bob quits the police force, gets tattoos, and infiltrates the cult to hunt down the charismatic cult leader, Cyrus, with...

Little Richard was a legendary singer, a pioneer of rock ‘n’ roll — and he was also a wedding officiant to the stars.

Following Little Richard’s death on Saturday at the age of 87, tributes poured in where many celebrities, such as Demi Moore and Cyndi Lauper, reminisced on when “the architect of rick and roll” officiated their weddings.

“Bruce and I were so lucky and honored to have him officiate our wedding back in 1987 — thankful for the memories,” Moore tweeted, along with a picture of her and Bruce Willis.

And according to a Chicago Tribune article, Little...

The strange tale of Robert Durst will be the latest true-crime story to be ripped from the headlines and run through the Law & Order wringer: As this trailer reveals, the upcoming season premiere of Law & Order: Svu will focus on the case of a wealthy, seemingly untouchable serial killer (Dallas Roberts's Dr. Greg Yates) whose case mirrors Durst's, down to the trash bags full of body parts and the inadvertent confession seemingly caught on tape. Svu's portrayal will complete the Law & Order–Robert Durst trifecta: A 2002 episode of Criminal Intent saw David Thornton play a rich cross-dresser who murdered his mob-daughter friend, while a 2004 episode of the Law & Order mothership featured Henry Stram as an "eccentric cross-dressing millionaire" who killed his neighbor and, decades earlier, his wife. To commemorate the occasion, Durst will receive a gold-plated statue of Jerry Orbach.

If you still think of Cyndi Lauper as the rainbow-haired, helium-voiced pop music confection who defined '80s girl power with such tunes as "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "She Bop" -- well, you're still partially right. Her hair remains a canvas for her mood, and the voice is unmistakably Lauper.

But in the decades since she burst into the pop culture lexicon with 1983's platinum-selling "She's So Unusual," Lauper has evolved into an actress, author, Broadway composer and tireless philanthropist -- all the while continuing to make music and a quirky home life with her actor husband David Thornton and their precocious teen son, Declyn. Now Lauper welcomes fans into her crazy busy life in the new docu-series "Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual," which premieres Saturday, Jan. 12, on We: Women's Entertainment.

"Everyone thinks they know how I live, but they don't really know!" Lauper tells Zap2it of the show,...

"That was shocking -- that was very shocking," pop icon Cyndi Lauper said, candidly discussing a sexual assault she experienced by a male member of her band in the '80s -- and by two women who restrained her during the assault -- an incident which she recounts for the first time in her frank new book, "Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir."

The singer and performer also talked about her tough childhood and several other sexual abuses she experienced, including as a teen by her stepfather; leaving home at the age of 17, hitchhiking and often finding herself in dangerous situations; becoming pregnant early on and getting an abortion, though she wanted to have the child; contemplating suicide after the pressures of fame and the recording industry escalated; and beating back the negativity and becoming inspired by the cause of Lgbt rights, for which she's become a leader with her True...

Gary Oldman as Jackie Flannery in State Of Grace (Phil Joanou, 1990, USA):

Long considered one of the most talented actors in cinema, it’s very strange that his outstanding acting as the younger brother of Ed Harris’ local crime boss in this underrated film doesn’t get talked about nearly enough when discussing Oldman’s body of work. This is a must-see performance for all Oldman fans. For the record, State Of Grace is a far better Irish mob film than The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006, USA), primarily because it contains much better acting across the board. Oldman was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Tomas Alfredson, 2011, UK/France).

Other notable Gary Oldman performances: Prick Up Your Ears (Stephen Frears, 1987, USA), Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola, 1992, USA), True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993, USA), Leon: The Professional (Luc Besson, 1994, France), Air Force One (Wolfgang Petersen, 1997, USA), The Contender (Rod Lurie,...

We tv has greenlighted two docu-soap series, Cyndi, starring singer Cyndi Lauper and executive produced by Mark Burnett, and Kendra On Top, starring Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett. Cyndi, which has received a 12-episode order, will chronicle the personal and professional life of Lauper, who has been married to actor David Thornton for 20 years and has a 13-year-old son. The series will start production next month for a summer launch. Kendra On Top, which has received a 14-episode order (hourlong premiere and finale and 12 half-hour episodes), chronicles the everyday life of former Playboy model-turned-reality star Wilkinson-Baskett who is now a wife and mother. Kevin Burns is executive producing. Production begins this month for a summer debut.

Let's get one thing straight: John Turturro is a treasure of an actor. (I don't think that needs clarifying, but still.) While he has a broad and impressive resume both in front of and behind the camera (I don't care what people say; I kinda love Romance and Cigarettes) it is his work with Joel and Ethan Coen that will likely be his most well-known down the trail into the future. Speaking to the Av Club in yet another one of the site's wonderful Random Roles interviews, Mr. Turturro talked about making his own films and working with Spike Lee and the Coens, among other things. In doing so he reiterated the idea of a spin-off [1] from The Big Lebowski and a sequel to Barton Fink. Both are ideas that have been mentioned over the years, and neither is really likely to be made. But they're still fun to think about.

Title: Trophy Kids Director: Josh Sugarman Starring: Ryan Eggold, David Gallagher, Tahyna Tozzi, Nathan Lee Graham, Tibor Feldman, David Thornton, Tania Raymonde A world premiere, in-competition title at the 14th annual Dances With Films festival, ‘Trophy Kids’ is that rare independent film that turns its lens on the moviemaking process itself, and doesn’t morph into a self-congratulating circle jerk of air-quote misunderstood artistic grievance. Instead, it’s ambitious and playful, flirty and mysterious, puffed-up and yet also nervous and candid about its ambivalence and uncertainty toward storytelling form, and what makes a film a true work of art. In short, it’s the sort of indie movie that, well, gives indie movies a good...

Manhattan, New York (X17online) - Cyndi Lauper will open up the doors to her New York home for an upcoming reality show produced by Survivor's Mark Burnett. The 80's icon will document her family life for the new reality series. The pop singer will star alongside her husband of 19 years, David Thornton, as well as their 12-year-old son Declyn. According to Cyndi, the show is about "the comedy of our lives." Lauper recently starred with Bret Michaels and Sharon Osbourne in The Celebrity Apprentice. She has also just released her latest album, Memphis Blues.

A feisty Cyndi Lauper appeared alongside fan favorite Bret Michaels and Sharon Osborne on Donald Trump's The Celebrity Apprentice (TV) this past spring. Lauper was entertaining and proved that given the chance, she can carry her own reality TV show easily. The actress who turned 57 on June 22nd is proving to the world that no matter your age, you can always reinvent your career! The ironic pop star of the 80's has teamed up with Survivor (TV) producer Mark Burnett to bring the comedy of her life to your living room. AceShowBiz reports, "Lauper will appear alongside her husband of 19 years, actor David Thornton, and their 12-year-old son Declyn." The untitled reality show has yet to receive a release date, but the cameras have fully charged and the door to the Lauper's New York City home has been opened. If appearing on a hit NBC show and juggling a new reality show wasn't enough,...

Pop star Cyndi Lauper is inviting cameras into her New York home to document her family life for a new reality TV show. The "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" hitmaker has teamed up with acclaimed "Survivor" producer Mark Burnett for the untitled new project.

Lauper will appear alongside her husband of 19 years, actor David Thornton, and their 12-year-old son Declyn in what the star describes as "the comedy of our lives", reports the New York Daily News.

It will be the singer's second reality show this year - she recently competed against the likes of Sharon Osbourne and Bret Michaels for the title of "The Celebrity Apprentice". Poison rocker Michaels won the crown last month.

Lauper is also releasing a new album this year called "Memphis Blues". Containing blues music, the album is to hit U.S. stores on Tuesday, June 22.

Girls may just want to have fun, but Cyndi Lauper has a great time with her boy, 12-year-old son Declyn Wallace, at The Celebrity Apprentice finale.

Mirjana Karanovic, David Thornton, Here and There Featuring David Thornton, European Film Award nominee Mirjana Karanovic (for Grbavica in 2006), Cyndi Lauper, Branislav Trifunovic, and Antone Pagan, Darko Lungulov’s Here and There was Serbia’s initial submission for the 2009 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. (The film was disqualified because it contained too much English-language dialogue.) Here and There follows a jaded middle-aged New Yorker who goes to Serbia to make some quick cash by marrying someone in need of U.S. immigration papers. His plan goes awry when the promised cash never arrives. Meanwhile, a young Serbian immigrant struggles to eke out a living in New York, while desperately trying to bring his girlfriend from Serbia to [...]...

Writer’s block gets all the ink, but in writer-director Darko Lungulov’s feature debut, Robert (David Thornton) has musician’s block. Once a jazz saxophonist, he can no longer pick up his horn or even open the case. Broke and depressed, he is evicted from his dumpy apartment and swiftly overstays his welcome at a friend’s place by drinking all of her booze.

Unshaven and unkempt, Robert even looks like he reeks of smoke from the cigarettes constantly dangling from his lower lip. Thick, wild hair stands on end like that of a troll doll, and Thornton’s hunched shoulders and narrowed eyes convey chronic cynicism.

With no place else to go, Robert accepts an unusual offer from Branko (Branislav Trifunovic), the Serbian immigrant who helps him move. Robert flies to Serbia to marry Branko’s girlfriend Ivana (Jelena Mrdja) so that she can join her beau in the States.

When we talk about green card marriages in this country, we're usually thinking about some kind of impoverished Mexican or Eastern European immigrant, desperate to get to this country and marry an American to live off the fat of our land. But what about the other way around? What if a New Yorker-- a sarcastic, dyed-in-the-wool New Yorker-- went to Serbia to marry another man's girlfriend and bring her back to the States? That's the premise of Here and There, Darko Lungulov's film that stars David Thornton as Robert, a New York man who is convinced by his new business partner to travel to Serbia and marry the man's girlfriend. Once he arrives in Belgrade, though, Robert finds himself falling in love with his friend's mother, Olga, a divorcee whose company helps him feel like he's coming back to live. I spoke to Darko and David last week, just...

Dominique Swain, Ben Foster, Vincent Kartheiser, Shawn Hatosy, Vincent Laresca, Shera Danese and David Thornton are in negotiations to join Nick Cassavetes' upcoming feature Alpha Dog.

They join Justin Timberlake, Emile Hirsch and Sharon Stone in the film, which is based on the real life story of Jesse James Hollywood, a drug dealer who became one of the youngest men ever to be wanted by the FBI. Filming begins later this month in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. New Line Cinema will distribute the film domestically. Sidney Kimmel Entertainment is producing in association with A-Mark Entertainment.
