Stars: Wesley Snipes, Seth Rollins, Anne Heche, Dave Annable, Kyle Clements, Morgan Roberts, Eyas Younis, Mo Gallini, Mike Seal | Written by Matt Savelloni | Directed by John Stockwell
Another month, another Wesley Snipes film. He sure is on the comeback trail now right? Ok, maybe not, especially given that this, like Final Recall, has headed direct to DVD. To be fair though, the “another month, another…” could also apply to WWE studios, who seem to have gone back to churning out direct to market films much like when they first stepped into the world of film production. Following the usual standard of having one of the many WWE Superstars take a break from the wrestling ring and appear on-screen, Armed Response features the “Kingslayer” himself, Seth Rollins, in a supporting role – yes, a supporting role. Unlike ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, Randy Orton, The Miz, and hell, even...

Silence of the Lambs star will premiere new music at concerts in Birmingham and Cardiff
The man who played Hannibal Lecter is set to show off his musical side. Anthony Hopkins will present his original classical music, including a new piece composed for the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, at two UK concerts.
Hopkins is "immensely happy" to be working with the orchestra for his music's British premiere, he told BBC News. "There are themes and passages in these pieces that have been several decades in the making and to bring them all vividly to life with one of the great symphony orchestras of the world is absolutely thrilling."
At both dates, in Birmingham on 23 July and in Cardiff on 24 July, Hopkins will introduce music he wrote for his own independently released films. August, released in 1996, and Slipstream, from 2007, were both directed by Hopkins. The actor will also debut a new work,...

Sir Anthony Hopkins needs no introduction as an actor. Even if he seems to be recycling the same performance lately, he stands as a giant among his peers, Richard Burton incarnate with less late career turkeys (so far). Lesser known is that he has also been dabbling in music, playing piano and composing. Thus far he's composed three scores, all for films he also directed.
Hopkins will be presenting these compositions at concerts for the first time this summer in the UK, THR reports. The music will be performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and will include compositions Hopkins wrote for the films "August" and "Slipstream."
Hopkins' most recent foray into music for film was a piece he wrote and performed called "Venetian Medley" for 2010's "The City of Your Final Destination," which had a marvelous score by guitarist/composer Jorge Drexler.
