| Indian native acting professional as well as movie director Manoj Kumar offers submitted the multimillion-dollar legal action towards Bollywood celebrity Shah Rukh Khan with regard to publishing a favorite 3 years ago movie within The japanese without having removing moments which make enjoyable associated with your pet. Kumar is seeking 1 billion rupees ($18.5 million) in damages from Khan and Eros International, the producers of "Om Shanti Om." The suit was filed Tuesday in a court in a Mumbai suburb, according to Indian media. Kumar had approached a court when the movie premiered in 2007, objecting to scenes spoofing his mannerisms. In 2008, a Mumbai court ordered that the scenes be deleted from any future screenings, and Khan apologized to Kumar. Kumar said the film was recently released in Japan without deleting the scenes. "I had forgiven them earlier, but not this time. They have disrespected me," Kumar said. The 75-year-old actor played the lead in several films with patriotic themes in the 1960s and '70s. He received one of India's top civilian awards in 1992 and a lifetime achievement award from the Indian film fraternity in 1999. "Om Shanti Om" is a romantic comedy featuring Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The film's director, Farah Khan, said the wrong version of the movie may have been distributed in Japan. "This has not been done purposely. The film's distributors may have erred and sent an old print to Japan," she told reporters Wednesday. "Anyway, it's time to let go. It's a time to feel happy and proud that it is doing so well in Japan." |

R. Sambora to miss part of Jovi tour
| TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Guitarist Richie Sambora will not be performing with Bon Jovi during the current leg of the band's Because We Can tour. The band, on its website, cited "personal issues." The band says all shows will go on as scheduled. No other information was given. Hours before the announcement late Tuesday, Sambora tweeted that he was "Watching more of the 'Every Road Leads Home To You' cover videos." That was a reference to a fan contest promoting a song on his solo album "Aftermath of the Lowdown." The 53-year-old has struggled with substance abuse. He has done several stints in rehab. Bon Jovi is slated to perform in Edmonton, Canada, on Wednesday and the current leg of the tour is scheduled to end April 25 in San Jose, Calif. Bon Jovi's 12th album, "What About Now," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last month. |
Rolling Stones announce Nine city tour
| NEW YORK (AP) — Call it satisfaction: The Rolling Stones have announced a nine-city tour. The veteran rockers said Wednesday their "50 and Counting" tour will kick off in Los Angeles at the Staples Center. The date will be announced later. The second show is in Oakland, Calif., on May 5. The tour will also visit San Jose, Calif.; Las Vegas; Anaheim, Calif.; Toronto; Chicago; and Boston. The tour ends June 18 in Philadelphia.
Tickets for Oakland, San Jose, Toronto and Chicago go on sale April 8. Ticket sales for the other cities will be announced later. The band will also headline the Glastonbury Festival on June 29 and will perform at London's Hyde Park on July 6. Former band mate Mick Taylor, who was a member of the Rolling Stones from 1969 through 1974, will be a special guest throughout the tour. The foursome celebrated their 50 anniversary late last year, playing five sold-out shows in New York, New Jersey and London. Special guests included Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, the Black Keys and Mary J. Blige. "We did a few shows in London and New York last year ... and had such a good time that we thought ... let's do some more," Mick Jagger said in a statement. "It's a good show." "From day one at rehearsals it sounded so fresh. You could tell that everybody was dying to get their teeth into it," Keith Richards said. "... it is the life and blood of us to play in front of people." The band released a 30-second video early Wednesday featuring Jagger, Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood chatting about getting together again. Wood says in a video conversation over the computer with his band mates: "Well it's about time kids. I've been waiting for this call." |

Review Complete 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' vast improvement
“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” released in 2009, was, without mincing words, a bad movie. I had fun seeing it, but it was an nearly incomprehensible mess.
Its new follow-up/quasi-reboot, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” is what a G.I. Joe movie should be. It’s still big and silly and full of improbable action and a paper-thin plot, just like “Rise of Cobra,” but at least the paper-thin plot makes sense. The characters, while stock, are likable. And, best of all, the entire movie is infused with a lightness and humor that it desperately needs. It is, after all, a movie based on a toy line and Saturday morning cartoons.
“G.I. Joe: Retaliation” follows the elite fighting squad known as the G.I. Joes as they fight Cobra Commander and his minions. OK, that’s pretty much the plot of everything “G.I. Joe”-related, at least according to my husband. (I am not terribly well-versed in “G.I. Joe” lore.)
In this movie, Cobra Commander (Luke Bracey), with the help of his minions, Firefly (Ray Stevenson) and Zandar (Matt Gerald), takes over the government and frames the Joes for an attack on the U.S. military. Roadblock (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson), Jaye (Adrianne Palicki) and Flint (D.J. Cotrona) must unravel the real reason for the attack while staying out of Cobra’s way. There is also a plot about the mysterious ninja Snake Eyes (Ray Park) and his protege Jinx (Elodie Yung), attempting to find Snake Eyes’ enemy Storm Shadow (Lee Byung-hun) so he can answer for the murder of their ninja clan master. In case you were worried, the plots do eventually intersect.
But, if you’re seeing “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” you’re probably not really there for the plot, and luckily, you don’t need to worry too much about it. Everything is well explained, even if the occasional long stretch of dialogue gets a little hokey, and the world makes sense - bad guys look menacing, and good guys look attractive.
Tell the truth — if you buy a ticket for “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” the real reason you’re seeing it is for the action. This movie has a lot of it, but the sequences are well-choreographed and never get boring. I especially loved an extended sequence featuring Snake Eyes and Jinx fighting a small army of bad ninjas on a mountainside — it was practically plucked from a martial arts movie — but every time the plot got tossed aside in favor of swords, fists and progressively larger guns, I sat up a little straighter in my seat.
The thing that really made “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” enjoyable, though, was the humor infused in it. One of my problems with “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” (and a lot of other big-budget bad action movies) is that the filmmakers try to act like it’s as serious as an Oscar-winning drama. Not so with this movie. It was just plain silly, and everybody involved knew it. When there was an opportunity for a joke or a sight gag, they took it, although they also didn’t try to shoehorn comedy into places where it didn’t help the movie very often.
Whoever chose to cast Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the lead character deserves a prize. Johnson has the wonderful ability to infuse humor in a movie without hamming it up, which serves the movie well. (His gigantic muscles did not detract from the film, either.) While their screen time together is brief, his chemistry with Channing Tatum, who plays Duke, is excellent. The pair of them needs to be in another movie together soon. There is also an appearance from one of the great masters of action himself, Bruce Willis, as the original Joe, Gen. Joseph Colton, which brightens up the movie considerably.
You have a general idea of what you’re getting into when you see “G.I. Joe: Retaliation,” but the good news is that it’s probably the best possible version of a G.I. Joe movie you can imagine. It’s a big bunch of fluff, of course, but it’s silly, enjoyable fluff.
Justin Bartha never set out to make a political statement when signing on to play a gay
Justin Bartha never set out to make a political statement when signing on to play a gay, expectant father on NBC's "The New Normal."
"It's interesting that television really has swayed the conversation," Bartha said of the same-sex marriage debate. "You're just trying to make entertainment."
The comedy from "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy centers on engaged couple Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Bartha) who, with the help of a surrogate, are expecting their first child.
The series uses humor to tackle social issues like homophobia and racism. Last week's episode examined the Boy Scouts of America's ban on gay members.
According to Bartha, it's only fitting that Tuesday's one-hour season finale features "a nice, big gay wedding," as the Supreme Court considers two landmark cases on same-sex marriage.
"It's coming on the heels of a very important decision," he said in an interview Friday in Los Angeles. "It's not often as an actor you get to be involved with a project that seems to be on the right side of history."
Another happy surprise for the 34-year-old "Hangover" actor has been becoming a role model.
"The feedback that we've gotten from young people has been inspirational," Bartha said. "People really look up to these characters and they have taken them on as really positive role models, which is something that I never thought about when taking on the project. You just want to do a good job, but it's really been quite a rewarding byproduct."
Though NBC has not announced whether "The New Normal" will be picked up for a second season, Bartha remains hopeful for the show's return.
"We're just now finding our footing with what we want to say and how we want to say it, and I think if we get the chance we'll do it even better (next season)," he said.
