Skip It

Film: YEAR ONE

Director: Harold Ramis

Actors: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Oliver Platt, David Cross, Vinnie Jones, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Hank Azaria, Juno Temple, Olivia Wilde

Year: 2009

There's a good chance you've never even heard of this horrendous piece of crap and if not, consider yourself lucky... oh, and sorry for bringing it to your attention. Harold Ramis (of "Ghostbusters" fame) went terribly wrong with this plot-less, pointless, unfunny flick. Jack Black and Michael Cera probably were just in for the payday (and I hope it wasn't based on gross because this bombed at the box office). It's not worth your time. Skip it!!!

Performance of the Day

Actor: VINNIE JONES

Film: "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels"

Character: Big Chris

Year: 1998

He didn't say much, but English actor and former footballer (soccer player) Vinnie Jones made a real impact in his screen debut. Playing 'Big Chris' (to 'Little Chris', his son), Jones was ruthless and a true bad-ass. This is a great performance by a surprisingly good actor.

Brit of the Week

Jason Statham (Sept 12, 1967) hails from Derbyshire, England, the son of a homemaker and lounge singer. He moved to Norfolk, where he met his lifelong friend former footballer and actor Vinnie Jones. When he was young he pursued diving and was a member of Britain's National Diving Squad for 12 years. He soon began modeling and was later introduced to Guy Ritchie, who was casting for "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels". Statham's career was on a roll when he landed parts in "Snatch", "Ghosts of Mars", and "The One", but it was his decision to take the lead role in "The Transporter", that catapulted him into mainstream movie stardom. Up next: "The Mechanic (with Ben Foster) and "The Killer Elite" (with Clive Owen and Robert De Niro).
