30 SepRihanna’s Acting Debut

If you are a big fan of Rihanna then you probably couldn’t wait to see her starring in her first major film role in the movie Battleship. She plays the part of Cora Raikes, a weapons specialist on the USS John Paul Jones and her performance won her a Teen Choice Award for “Choice Breakout in a Film”. Although this is her first major film, she has had previous cameo roles in “Bring It On: All Or Nothing” in 2006 and in the Katy Perry film “Part Of Me” this year. Next year she will star in the film “End Of The World” which is due to be released in June 2013 and also features Emma Watson and Seth Rogan.

Battleship is based on the popular strategic board game of the same name, and is brought to life by director Peter Berg in an epic sci-fi adventure, pitting an international navy fleet against an army of invading aliens. With the two sides being evenly matched, then they must rely on cunning and strategy in order to win. One scene shows the main characters using a grid system to target alien ships that can’t be seen on radar. It features a loud “rock” soundtrack and unrelenting battle sequences and is just the kind of movie you need to see for a great night out.

30 SepJustin Bieber : Never Say Never

One of the highlights of the year for any enthusiastic Justin Bieber fan must surely have been the release of his movie Never Say Never. It follows the star in a 10 day countdown to what is considered to be his biggest performance yet – that of 31st August 2010 at Madison Square Garden in New York. A gig which sold out in a record 22 minutes.

It shows footage of excited female fans (something all young girls can identify with) and features the One Less Lonely Girl routine, where he invites one or two girls up on stage to be the object of his affection, while he performs the song and presents them with flowers. Other fans are left surprised and speechless when he presents them with free tickets to his concert.

Bieber himself is not actually interviewed in the film, which concentrates on talking to members of his family and friends instead and also features several instances of him praying before he embarks on the concert.

He pays a visit to his home town in Canada and whilst having fun with old friends, damages his voice to such an extent that he has to postpone his next scheduled date in Syracuse to allow his voice to recover.

Also included are video clips and stories of his childhood, behind the scenes footage and tour clips including Bieber throwing his shirt into the crowd.
