This Boston Marathon drama attempts to portray a survivor’s difficult emotional journey even as it waves Old Glory

The story of a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing who became a symbol of the indomitable spirit of the city, Stronger is a film that tries to have it both ways. On the one hand, the picture explores the emotional toll on everyman Jeff Bauman (Jake Gyllenhaal), who finds himself celebrated as a figure of hope, simply by virtue of having survived. On the other, with its swelling score and obligatory shots of noble, fluttering Us flags, the film buys into the hero narrative wholesale.

With his huge haunted eyes, Gyllenhaal does a decent job of capturing the conflict of a man who can’t admit that he is struggling for fear of letting down his family and the city that supports him. Headed by Miranda Richardson as his boozy mother,...

Another huge win for the Houston Astros, another chance for Josh Reddick to pay tribute to Old Glory on his crotch. Reddick rocked his legendary American flag skivvies (again) for the Astros' post-game turn-up after eliminating the Red Sox in the Alds on Monday ... bustin' out the Red, White & Blue for some champagne showers. Everyone from Justin Verlander to Dallas Keuchel celebrated the 5-4 comeback win to close out the series ... but (thankfully) no one...

We asked Da Coach how he feels about anthem protests on the 16th anniversary of 9/11. Iron Mike concedes players have the right to do what they want to do ... but thinks 9/11 is different and believes most will stand for Old Glory. As for the "malcontents" ... Ditka says...

Blac Chyna's not waiting for Memorial Day weekend to show off her patriotism ... or her bountiful booty. It's safe to say BC's feeling confident with her post-baby bod, flaunting a thong swimsuit on a yacht in Miami for a photo shoot. She brought along Old Glory for some of the shots, because ... 'Merica! Chyna also got to ride around on a jet ski during the shoot. Not a bad follow-up gig to judging a twerk contest.

Setting phasers to burn, eh, Mr. Sulu? “Star Trek” alum George Takei took on Donald Trump Tuesday, after the President-elect suggested that jail time might be in order for flag burners. Trump made his pronouncement early Tuesday morning, declaring, “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag — if they do, there must be consequences – perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!” Also Read: Donald Trump Wants to Lock Up Anyone Who Burns American Flag Takei shot back that, while he personally wouldn’t torch Old Glory, he supports the right of others to express themselves through flag burning.

“White Girl,” September 2 – Elizabeth Wood, Writer and Director

Elizabeth Wood’s feature film debut was almost immediately deemed “shocking!” and “racy!” and “wild!” as soon as it debuted at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but underneath a film about throwing caution to the wind in the pursuit of both terrible decisions and the capricious joys of youth beats a big, honest heart. Wood’s...

Way to take it to the hole with your new campaign logo, Donald Trump and Mike Pence. After presumptive Gop presidential nominee Trump announced he has chosen Indiana Gov. Mike Pence as his pick for vice president, a new logo for the union was unveiled, and it looks like running mates aren’t the only mates the campaign has in mind. Just look at the “T” in Trump, boldly penetrating the very core of Pence’s “P,” as the stripes of Old Glory look on, seemingly blushing. Is it getting patriotically hot in here?

WWE.com

The chances of Roman Reigns winning the triple threat match at Fast Lane are so great, Vegas shouldn’t even lay odds for it. It’s Reigns vs. Triple H at WrestleMania 32 in At&T Stadium, and there’s virtually no chance that WWE gives us anything different. Commence two months of, “Geez, how predictable,” and, “I’ll bet Daniel Bryan gets cleared on Monday, April 4.”

Looking back at three decades of WrestleMania history, there have been far greater WWE Championship storyline builds than, “Vince’s son-in-law tries to shoot Vince’s pet project into the stratosphere before a potentially record-setting crowd.” Of course, such transparent vanity is still better than Sgt. Slaughter pledging allegiance to Saddam Hussein, providing a catalyst for Hulk Hogan to defend Old Glory in a championship showdown that fell embarrassingly short of selling out the Los Angeles Coliseum. Actually, that may be hard...

WWE are planning a major Raw episode for tonight, with the aim to start 2016 with a ratings success.

Tonight’s episode will emanate from San Antonio, Texas, with a WWE Championship main event in which Roman Reigns will defend against Sheamus. What’s key to that, is Mr McMahon will be the special referee. The Chairman has traditionally been a ratings draw, and is very effective in the heel authority role. By stacking the deck against Reigns, and basically rebooting the old Austin / McMahon storyline, WWE are hoping that fans will get on board with the champion.

WWE’s preview is also hinting at a major role for John Cena, with the suggestion that he may get another rematch against Alberto Del Rio for the Us Championship. The WWE website says “might Cena make another attempt at Old Glory early in the New Year? Even better, will Cena...

This week’s Raw really wasn’t a great episode of WWE’s Monday night show, but they were able to finalize the SummerSlam lineup. For the past few weeks we have been able to confirm a few matches, but after Raw we know eight matches that are definitely happening at the summer spectacular on August 17 in Los Angeles. They’re listed on WWE.com now, so let’s have a quick look at all of them.

John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship - The main event of the show was furthered on Raw by airing a video package with comments from Lesnar and Cena. Neither guy was at Raw, so it was smart of WWE to air the video package. They actually aired it twice just so they could make sure people saw it.

Both men are expected to be at Raw next week.

Vladimir Putin wrote an op-ed in the New York Times Thursday, which was picked up by news outlets seemingly everywhere, much to Stephen Colbert’s chagrin. The worst aggregation offender was the Drudge Report, which featured a photo of a winking Putin gripping the American flag. “Here he is with his dirty, vodka-stained hands all over Old Glory,” Colbert said. See video: Stephen Colbert: Bill de Blasio Is ‘A Man So Liberal, He Won the Gay Vote Against a Lesbian’ Not only is the image offensive to Comedy Central’s biggest patriot, the photo is also quite familiar to Colbert.

DVD Review

Olympus Has Fallen

Directed by: Antoine Fuqua

Cast: Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Melissa Leo, Dylan McDermott, Angela Bassett, Radha Mitchell

Running Time: 1 hr 59 mins

Rating: R

Due Out: August 13, 2013

Plot: After the White House is overtaken by terrorists, former secret service agent Mike Banning (Butler) is the only man left to save the president of the United States (Eckhart) and stop the terrorists from achieving their plot.

Who’S It For? While it’s by no means great, if an America loving, action-packed Die Hard riff sounds good, you could do worse than Olympus Has Fallen. Gerard Butler fans should also be pleased by the actor at his badass best.

Movie:

Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Olympus Has Fallen. It really doesn’t get much more American than this. The film opens with the title bearing the colors of the American flag, and there are...

Lil Wayne has decided ... the images of the rapper trampling the American flag during a music video shoot were Not good enough for the final cut ... 'cause they've been edited Out of the final version. Just last month, Wayne caught a Ton of heat during the filming of the video for his new song "God Bless Amerika" when a giant American flag was dropped on the ground -- only to be walked all over by Wayne.

Enjoying some fun in the sun, Heidi Klum and her clan hit the sparkling Bahaman beaches on Saturday (July 6) in Paradise Island, Bahamas.

The mother-of-four showed off her flawless figure in a kelly green bikini as she and her bodyguard boyfriend Martin Kristen took Heidi’s daughters Leni and Lou out in the water.

On Thursday, the German-born “Project Runway” hostess posted a picture of herself on Twitter all decked out for the Fourth of July in a white bikini and a flag-adorned headband while waving Old Glory.

“Happy 4th of July everyone!,” Heidi captioned the snazzy snap.

Thomas Edison introduced the first Kinetoscope in 1891, meaning America has been making movies for more than half of its existence as a country. It makes sense, then, that over that time there have been at least a few rousing cinematic celebrations of the U.S. of A., and the 4th of July is as good a time as any to look back on some of Hollywood’s great patriotic panegyrics. Regardless of your thoughts on American exceptionalism, Americans have always been exceptionally good at telling you just how exceptional we think we are.

For example, there’s Bill Murray’s “We’re mutts!

Happy Birthday America! No 4th of July is complete without a BBQ, friends, family and good music! While you're standing over the grill this Independence Day, let us take care of the playlist! From Brooks and Dunn's Only in America to almost anything in Toby Keith's music catalog - Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue, Made in America - country music really knows how to tip their hats to Old Glory. Jam out to Martina McBrides Independence Day and treat this July 4th like it's the most amazing American Saturday Night.And it goes without saying, no...

Yesterday the internet was ablaze with angry Americans who blasted Lil Wayne for trampling all over an American flag while filming a new music video.

But the rap mogul insists he wasn’t intentionally stomping on Old Glory, and that the whole snafu was an honest mistake.

Weezy tweeted, “I didn’t step on the flag on purpose! It’s a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and after it drop it’s just there as I perform.

However, the song is called “God Bless Amerika,” and it contains some less-than-flattering lyrics about the USA.

Lil Wayne is lying through his diamond-encrusted teeth ... claiming he didn't Intentionally step on the American flag during a video shoot ... despite the fact he can be seen looking down on Old Glory several times during the performance. Wayne just tweeted about his controversial video shoot for "God Bless Amerika" in New Orleans ... saying, "I didn't step on the flag on purpose! It's a scene in a video where the flag drops behind me and...

Remember when the first Man Of Steel trailers were first released, with all that whispering, those soft-focus shots of grass, and a gentle wind whipping both Old Glory and a line of laundry across a grey pastel sky? This idyllic, ethereal tone led many a viewer to (half-jokingly) wonder if the trailer hadn’t been accidentally switched with that of an upcoming Terrence Malick film. This isn’t how you advertise an action film; much less a superhero story. What’s with the butterfly seemingly trapped in the chain? Come on, this isn’t the place for pretentious metaphors! Where were the one-liners, the big reveal, or even that ubiquitous ‘blinking’ effect that we’ve come to accept isn’t going away any time soon? Where was the noise?

And do you remember when, having watched the film this weekend, you found yourself thinking just what Malick’s vision of...

Lil Wayne does a dance on Old Glory for a new music video! Lots of people are pissed he chose to disrespect the U.S. Flag ... while others think he's justified.

“I work because I want to work,” says Redford, now 76. “Work keeps me going.”

By Barbara Lovenheim

When I interviewed Redford in 1984 for his role in "The Natural," he was defensive about his image as a matinee idol and hesitant to talk with reporters because, he told me, “if you talk about an issue, what comes back is a description of what you’re wearing. Reporters only want to know how tall you are and if your teeth are capped.” Now 76, Redford has no reason to apologize for his appearance or his life; he has endured as a major talent for a very long time; he is still actively making films and starring in them, and he has turned Sundance into an important institute for independent filmmakers. He is now defying age and arthritis by working hard, playing tennis, skiing and riding horseback through miles of rugged country.

Hmm, how shall I describe my reaction when I read the news that Cher and the Logo network are teaming up on a TV show about '60s Hollywood? Hmmmm. How about: I fell through the floor and into the sky. This is news from a better dimension, people. A richer, greater universe where our queen is a half-breed gypsy tramp who's just like Jesse James and named, uh, Cher. I'm torqued for this show. 

More tantalizing yet is we're not sure whether Cher will star in the show or bring any of her personal story to the plot. Luckily, this gives us an opportunity to propose ideas for the program and help egg along the creative process. Here are my five ideas for Cher/Logo collaboration about Hollywood in the swingin' '60s. 

1. Backup 

 

Cher famously sang backup for The Ronettes and The Righteous Brothers, and I think it'd...

Brits are all about the red, white and blue ... but not usually the American flag.

I want you to brace yourselves. It’s important that you take a seat. If you would feel more comfortable phoning a loved one or finding a hand to hold, please do. I’ll wait.

Ready?

Good. Here goes.

I wasn’t mad keen on The Dark Knight.

There. I’ve said it. If you want to send me hate mail or call me a boneless, wretched psychopath on Twitter, go ahead. I understand the gravity of the situation.

I believe the reason that I didn’t enjoy The Dark Knight was my situation at the time. I was working in an enormous comic shop in London prior to the film’s release and every day I would find myself selling endless Batman paraphernalia to legions of rabid, foaming fans. Masks and make-up, cowls and capes, you name it, I stuck it in a bag and handed it to a leering,...

Last night, on the eve of Katy Perry: Part of Me's release, the titular pop princess performed before a packed naval yard in Brooklyn, New York, belting out some of her biggest hits to a exhilarated crowd of enlisted men and women celebrating Independence Day. Wearing her love of America literally on her sleeve with a star-spangled dress that resembled Old Glory, Perry delivered "Firework" minutes before Macy's set off their spectacular fireworks display. Beyond being a vibrant moment of peppy patriotism, her rousing performance also served as a spirited promotion of her new concert doc, which hits theaters today. This morning, Paramount followed up by tweeting a new trailer.viewable below.that unveils the key being invited on stage at one of Perry's concerts: As I detail in my review, more than just an exuberant 3D experience, Katy Perry: Part of Me is an intriguing behind-the-scenes look at...

The premiere of Madonna's video for "Give Me All Your Luvin,'" the first single off her new album M.D.N.A., is today, children. It's bound to be a little over-the-top and nutty, like the deranged song itself, and I assume it's not going to live up to the greatest stuff in Madonna's catalog. Then I remember: What does live up to the best stuff in Madonna's catalog? Turns out, not much. Madonna's repertoire is a varied and thundering collection of self-empowering pop ditties, soulful ballads, and kooky little anomalies. And they're mostly all irreplaceable. In the tradition of Rolling Stone, who listed their 100 Greatest Beatles Songs a couple years ago, let's reinspect Madonna's complete history and name her definitive 100 jams. Ready? Start disagreeing Now.

It’s good to represent Old Glory. Marvel’s second film of 2011 didn’t let the company down, as “Captain America: The First Avenger” topped Matthew Vaughn’s $55 million opening and, depending on the film’s final Monday numbers, will either have edged out “Thor” for the best Marvel movie of 2011, or come very close at second place. The Star Spangled Avenger opened to an estimated $65.8 million, which currently gives it bragging rights over “Thor”, which opened with $65.7 million two months ago. That’s such a razor-thin margin that you’ll have to wait for final numbers on Monday to really know where to put “Captain America” and “Thor” in the list of top grossing Marvel films of 2011. The Captain’s only other studio competition was the romcom “Friends with Benefits”, starring Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, which came in third place with $18.5 million. That’s slightly behind the opening...

Fox News anchor Jenna Lee has tied the knot with boyfriend and Navy Seal Leif Babin in a Texas ceremony. The journalist and her now-husband married on Sunday in front of 225 invited guests at Wimberley, Texas's Old Glory Ranch. Lee admitted that preparing to exchange vows with Babin was incredibly nerve-wracking, saying to People: "At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep it together. But once the moment arrived, I didn't shed a single tear!" Guests were whisked off to a nearby reception and treated to pink margaritas, the same cocktail that Lee and Babin shared on their first date. As the newlyweds drove off in (more)...

Walking down the aisle on July 3 at Old Glory Ranch in Wimberley, Texas, Fox News anchor Jenna Lee was anything but an emotional bride. "At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep it together," the co-anchor of the show Happening Now tells People. "But once the moment arrived, I didn't shed a single tear!" Instead, the day was filled with laughter and applause, as Lee, 31, wearing a gown by Lazaro, exchanged Christian vows with Navy Seal Leif Babin, 35, in front of 225 guests. Following the ceremony, the two joined their guests for a Texas-inspired celebration that included the...

Uso and troop favorite Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band will be spreading the “Old Glory” cheer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state on July 4 and at Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Wash., on July 5.

The Emmy Award-winning actor and his 12-member cover band are on tour throughout 2011 and have performed for more than 25,000 service men and women and their families during their first 11 Uso concerts. Their stop to Jblm is part of that base’s free “Freedom Fest” that includes a carnival, food and games. Their concert at Naval Base Kitsap is also free.

The actor is officially launching his Gary Sinise Foundation on July 4, to honor the Nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.

Marvel Studios and Paramount Pictures have revealed a limited edition 40′s style poster for next month’s Captain America: The First Avenger, directed by Joe Johnston and starring Chris Evans, Sebastian Stan, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Toby Lee Jones, and Stanley Tucci.

Marvel has only printed 100 copies of this exclusive poster for the cast and crew of The First Avenger and La Times will be giving out five prints to those in attedance at the Hero Complex Film Festival. This print is done by Paolo Rivera, whose many credits include covers for ”Fantastic Four,” “Spectacular Spider-Man” and “X-Men: Unlimited.”

Synopsis: Based on the Marvel Comics character from World War II. A brave, yet mild-mannered young soldier named Steve Rogers, volunteers to undergo a series of experiments for a Us army Super Soldier program. The military succeeds in transforming him into a human weapon, but quickly decide that their Super Soldier...

Sacha Baron Cohen's upcoming comedy The Dictator, about a ruler who "risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed," will apparently chronicle the delirious jingoism we expect from Borat's creator. In this new candid still, we see Cohen don Old Glory in a new and proud and funny and horrifying way.

MSNBC's Martin Bashir isn't angling to get a seat on the One Nation bus with Sarah Palin. In fact, as he told viewers Tuesday, he thinks the whole thing might just be illegal. How so? Well, if you're expecting a brainiac argument about campaign finance law or a nuanced take on the media, this won't be it. Bashir says Palin's possibly in violation of the law over her use of Old Glory: "The whole thing could be in breach of a federal law because the United States Flag Code establishes important rules for the use and display of the stars and stripes, the flag of the United States." Oh yes.

The start of the summer movie season is just around the corner and that means big-budget, comic book superhero movies will be gracing local theaters for the next four months. Amazingly enough, none of the comic book films coming out this summer are sequels. Instead, we have four origin stories following the characters of Thor, Captain America, Green Lantern and X-Men.

We’ve gathered a lot of information for each of the four superhero films coming out this summer, and put them all in one easy-to-find spot. You’ll find a list of the cast and their roles in the film, the plot synopsis for each film and a theatrical trailer.

Patriotism can be expressed in many different ways: Hanging a flag from your front porch, singing along with the National Anthem at the start of a sporting event, exercising your right to vote. But Monday night’s installment of Dancing With the Stars showed us that national pride can also bloom with the glistening thrust of a sculpted male torso, in the rhythmic heaving of a woman’s overripe bosoms, and through the hypnotic undulation of Kym Johnson’s zero-gravity-loom dress (among other red/white/blue/insane garments). Amber waves of grain? They’re so two-thousand-and-late. As national treasure Tom Bergeron...

Here it is, folks. The first full-length trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger has finally been released online. This trailer is said to be shown in theaters starting this weekend, but we got it early. The trailer doesn’t have a lot of new footage, but we do get to see more of what we have already seen.

This thing looks good. I feel a lot of elements from the first “Iron Man” in this one. Heck, we even get to Stark in this one! I’m thinking this might just be the best comic book movie released in the last few years. Marvel has done something amazing with this one, I can feel. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Captain America: The First Avenger stars Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Hayley Atwell, Sebastian Stan, Richard Armitage, Dominic Cooper, and Tommy Lee Jones. The film is directed by Joe Johnston...

Entertainment Tonight ran a special sneak peak of the new Marvel film Captain America: The First Avenger. We’ve got a lot of cool new footage in this clip, but we have to watch it while enduring the horrible voice over Et decided to add to the film. Hey Et, I don’t need your commentary to see what’s going on in this clip! Oh well, it’s still new footage of what should be one of the biggest films of the year. We should be seeing the new trailer for the film later this week, as it is being shipped out to movie theaters all across the country.

We’ll keep you updated with all Captain America news as it comes available to us, especially that new trailer, whenever it makes its way online. Check out the new clip after the jump.

Update: Marvel has also released a new image for Captain America, which you can see after the clip.

Last night Entertainment Tonight had a small blurb about Captain America: The First Avenger where they showed a few clips from the new film. While we don’t see a lot in this 25 second clip, I’d say close to 25% of what we see is completely new footage. If you slow the video down and look real close, you can even see Captain America throwing his shield. Bad ass.

We’re going to see a new trailer for the film real soon. Like tonight soon. Et will be showcasing a new trailer for the film during their broadcast tonight, so be sure to check that out. If you miss it when it airs, don’t worry, we’ll have it here as soon as that bad boy arrives online. In the meantime,...

Ever since Hugo Weaving was cast as the Red Skull, fans have been worried how he would look in the film. We got a nice glimpse of him during the Superbowl, and decided he didn’t look half bad. Now we have an official image from the film showing Weaving in full costume as The Red Skull. I think he looks pretty badass, and should be a very frightening enemy for Captain America.

Director Joe Johnston explained in a recent Entertainment Weekly article how Steve Roger dealt with bullies in the past, before the transformation into Captain America:

For Steve Rogers it’s a very personal thing. At one point he says, “I don’t like bullies, I don’t care where they’re from.” He makes a complete physical transformation to a perfect human specimen. But inside he doesn’t change at all. It must be tempting to...

Captain America: The First Avenger will either be a good bit of old-fashioned daring-do or total crud. You never know with Hollywood. But one thing does look pretty darn cool, and The Red Skull. Check out the new photo below for a great gander at the nefarious Nazi bastard who goes up against Cappy Americano!

Hugo Weaving stars as the weird-looking villain also known as Johann Schmidt, a man that got turned into the Red Skull after a Nazi experiment. Those sick bastards! Although it looks like they gave a him cool leather coat and free reign to spread terror to make up for turning him into a monster!

Joe Johnston has explained Captain Yankeepants’ approach to fighting the good fight is based on him being bullied before being experimented on in the Super Soldier program. Isn’t that double standards or is okay to chemically alter human beings to...

Oh say can you see? Yes, the man who kicks arse for the Stars and Stripes has got a teaser poster knocking about on the internet. Captain America: The First Avenger stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America! Joe Johnston shot the flick in the UK in London, Liverpool and Manchester (not very patriotic). Rumours Captain America was spotted shopping in the Arndale Centre and taking the famous Beatles Tour are completely made up! The action-adventure will be coming to our screens in retro-fitted (boo) 3D.

The poster design goes for a rather moody tone with a mournful-looking Cappy surrounded by what looks like flying dirt. Johnston is a pretty solid director so there’s reason to expect a good, quality actioner. At least Captain America doesn’t look like Barry Gibbs from the Bee Bees, which can’t be said of Chris Hemsworth as Thor.

No trailer yet however Empire have gotten a couple of new pictures of Captain America for their latest issue. Are you excited for the film? Dig Chris Evans in the role? The film is scheduled to be released on July 22nd later this year.
