In the new film Piranha 3DD, Knight Rider actor David Hasselhoff stars as himself, a celebrity who may be best known for playing a lifeguard on the hit drama Baywatch. But in this horror-comedy, he presents himself as an egomaniac realist who is hired as a lifeguard at a local water park.
Of course, Hasselhoff isn’t a real lifeguard – but when terror arrives in the form of dozens of killer piranhas, he is asked to step up and help prevent the ensuing carnage.
But to prevent the type of destruction that is on display in this Piranha 3D sequel, I recently talked to Hasselhoff about how a person could survive a piranha attack – or prevent one in the future. He was happy to offer his advice as a longtime lifeguard (at least he played one on ...

360 is headlined by such well-known names as Oscar-winners Anthony Hopkins and Rachel Weisz, along with Jude Law and Ben Foster (The Messenger), working from a script penned by Oscar-nominee Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon), under the direction of Oscar-nominated Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles (Cidade de Deus (City of God), The Constant Gardener).
However, despite those marketable credentials, the film will be made available on iTunes near the end of this month, before it (unceremoniously) begins a limited theatrical release in the U.S. later this summer. Today, we have a trailer and poster for 360 to share.
Morgan’s screenplay for 360 was partly inspired by Arthur Schnitzler’s play Reigen (La Ronde), which examines the sexual relationships between people from different levels of Viennese society. 360 broadens its gaze to encompass multiple narrative threads that take place in a variety of settings (Vienna, ...

‘Arrow’ Extended Trailer Hints at Deathstroke the Terminator Appearance

With every new reveal, Arrow looks to be silencing its naysayers by promising what looks to be a fairly intriguing, action-packed television series that rather nicely blends melodrama with costumed super-heroics.
Now, as seen in the extended trailer just released by The CW, Arrow also looks to have an appearance by a notorious DC villain in the works.
Hopefully, you have already watched the above trailer a few times, and seen the less-than-subtle cut to the mask of Slade Wilson – otherwise known as Deathstroke the Terminator. While the tease confirms nothing more than a fun nod to the extended DCU, casting Deathstroke as a major villain for the series would likely amp up the excitement quite a bit.
Having initially debuted in 1980 in the second issue of The New Teen Titans, Deathstroke has since become a key player in the DCU ...
