The Brave One

“The Brave One” flick scared up $14 million at the box office and become the weekend’s top film. The film was directed by Neil Jordan and though the The Brave One’s trailer received at first bad reviews, men an women enjoyed the violent, R-rated film. The Warner Bros. film beat last week’s box-office winner, “3:10 to Yuma,” which was placed second with $9.2 million in ticket sales.

The Brave One’s story follows a woman who fights to recover from a brutal attack by setting out on a mission for revenge according to imbd.com. I haven’t see the movie yet and if you didn’t too, check out the trailer under the article to have an idea about the thriller. A little tip, you can see a movie armed with good performances of celebrities like Jodie Foster and Terrence Howard.

Sopranos Emmy

“The Sopranos” walked away with three awards, including the coveted “Outstanding Drama Series” honors recently at 59th Anniversary of the Emmy Awards. The HBO series was lucky to win the award, as it rarely goes to a show that has been canceled. The other two trophies were for “Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series” and “Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series.” As a recall Sopranos’ five cast members were nominated for individual Emmys, but none of them got their honors for their categories. Check out the full list of winners this year Emmy awards.

This amazing cast is what it came down to. It really is all about them.
