Match Point
Chris, a former tennis pro, social-climbs into the world of the British upper crust when he gets engaged to one of his wealthy tennis students. But Chris is not the type to leave well enough alone, and he soon falls for Nola, a sexy American actress who is dating his rival Tom, Chris' soon to be brother-in-law. Match Point is not a film where you will find likable characters. Hardly anyone in the film comes out clean on the other side. There is not one single aspect of this film that makes it great, it's the combination of many things; the acting, directing, editing, camera work, writing, and casting.
 

On DVD
Hustle & Flow

DJay, a streetwise Memphis hustler tries to find a voice and realize his dreams. A chance encounter with an old friend, Key, a sound engineer who has always wanted to make it in the music business, spurs DJay, and if he's ever going to make his mark, it has to happen now. He begins to write down his freestyle raps, his flow, and the two team a church musician with a beat machine, to lay down bass-thumping crunk tracks. DJay's metamorphosis affects his entire house, as the women in his life find ways to contribute to the creative process. With the impending visit to Memphis of hometown platinum-selling rapper Skinny Black, DJay has to make one last hustle if he's ever going to flow.

Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst is getting married again, and his fiance couldn't be happier. Her father, on the other hand, couldn't be angrier. Durst proposed to Leyla Bearman on December 30th with a 10-thousand-dollar ring. But a source close to the Bearman family says Leyla's father suspects that Durst has cheated on his daughter, and he won't be attending the wedding.

You already knew Black Eyed Peas mainman will.i.am was a triple threat. He can rap, dance and produce. Now he's also a rising music executive. His will.i.am music imprint on A&M/Interscope will release Macy Gray's next record on the label, as well as the solo debut from Peas pal Fergie.

Pamela Anderson, wrote a letter to the governor of Kentucky asking him to remove a bust of KFC's Colonel Sanders from the state capitol.
