Jason Statham’s latest film is Parker, in which he plays a thief who’s double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Later, he teams up with the feisty Leslie (Jennifer López), and resolves to get his stolen cash back. All this, of course, is an excuse for our hero to break the noses and generally Statham every member of the supporting cast, including Taylor Hackford, Michael Chiklis and Nick Nolte.

Now it’s time for me to complete my unfinished business. I think performing with Enrique Iglesias has already made me reach one milestone of success in my life. However, Jennifer Lopez draws on fantasy and urban street scenes to craft her latest video for new single “Goin’ In,” including a Red Riding Hood
Zooey Deschannel is Loretta Lynn
The “New Girl” actress Zooey Deschanel is to play Loretta Lynn on broadway. Loretta Lynn who is 80-years-old said “It’s a long way from Butcher Holler to Broadway in New York City, I never imagined I’d see ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ on a movie screen, and now I can’t believe it’s going to be on a stage for people to see.” Lynn is excited to have Zooey play herself. Lynn plans to sit front row and watch how a poor Kentucky girl grow to be the first female country singer on broadway. In 1972, Lynn was the first woman named “Entertainer of the Year” by the Country Music Association and has released 70 albums.
You will be “Safe” with Jason Statham

A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change… until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed. But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action… and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war
Safe does a smart job of playing to Statham’s strengths in its action sequences. This movie is full of predictable scenes with few gunfights.
Luke (Jason Statham) is a brave man who faces all Russian gangsters who kidnapped Mei (Catherine Chan). Both Statham and Chan work really well together. Then you consider the many political implications. We eventually meet the slimy mayor (Chris Sarandon), who of course is involved because this thing goes all the way to the top, and the cops (including Robert John Burke as the Captain) who resent Luke for ratting them out for their corrupt behavior years ago. The only bad point for this movie is when Mei is involved in many blood and bullets scenes but Jason Statham makes this movie worthy of the full range of his talent and everybody ought to be good at something, and when it comes to this kind of thing, Statham is very good, indeed. This is released on April 27th in many American movie theaters.
