Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage feel the brotherly love over at Amazon MGM for their upcoming action comedy Brothers. Amazon MGM snapped up the worldwide rights to the star-studded project, which has Brendan Fraser, Glenn Close, Jennifer Landon (Yellowstone), Taylour Paige (Zola), and the late M. Emmet Walsh in one of his final roles, leading the cast. Lining up a theatrical and streaming release, Brothers goes to cinemas on October 1 and on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide on October 17.
Brothers stars Brolin as a reformed criminal whose attempt to lead a clean life meets a curveball when he’s reunited with his twin brother (Dinklage). As their patience for one another is tested, the sibling duo embark on a road trip for a score that could set them up for life.

Welcome to this week’s review of Nxt, right here on Nerdly. Without further ado, let’s get into the review…
Match #1: Carmelo Hayes def. Axiom The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
Axiom and Carmelo Hayes collided at Nxt Deadline as two of the competitors in the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, only for both of them to come up short. Now in a one-on-one contest against each other, both men showed off their supreme athleticism and their savvy technician skills early on. Axiom took the match to another level thanks to an incredible dropkick and a snapping German Suplex as he flew through the ropes. A top rope Hurricanrana seemed to spell doom for Hayes, but interference from Trick Williams allowed Hayes to counter and follow up with Nothing But Net that delivered him the win.
My Score: 3.5 out of 5 Match #2: Zoey Stark def. Nikkita Lyons...

Along with her recent appearance at Heatwave, WWE Nxt star Jacy Jayne showed off a stunning outfit to her fans and followers, which captured her rockstar attitude.

She kept those tight black pants on securely with a belt of the same color and had a pair of sleek black boots on her feet.
Jayne accessorized the outfit with a simple bracelet on each arm and multiple necklaces, including one with a cross attached.
For her pose, the 5-foot-6 wrestling star stood jutting her hip to one side while she pulled strands of her hair with her hands and playfully stuck out her tongue.

Congratulations to Jules O'Dwyer and her loveable border collie Matisse who won Britain's Got Talent last night (May 31). We must admit we came over a tad teary-eyed when Matisse's three-legged collie companion Skippy made his debut in their final act.
Last night's final prompted us to look back at all eight winners from the ITV talent show to see how they faired after their victories.
From Collabro to Pudsey the dog - which acts have had the most success post-bgt? Here's our ranking below:
1. Paul Potts
Paul Potts stunned the judges, audience and viewers of Bgt alike with his breathtaking rendition of 'Nessun Dorma' on the ITV talent show's first run in 2007. His audition became a YouTube sensation and was later confirmed as the fourth most viewed YouTube video in the UK.
Following his transition from Carphone Warehouse salesman to Bgt winner, Potts released his debut album One Chance...

Britain's Got Talent came to an end tonight (May 31) as one lucky winner claimed a spot at this year's Royal Variety Performance.
Jules O'Dwyer and Matisse topped the viewer vote and were duly named Britain's Got Talent 2015 champions.
We round up the reaction on social media to tonight's Britain's Got Talent live final below.
Firstly, there was a lot of moaning about the number of adverts during the show:

Collabro know exactly what it's like to be on a Britain's Got Talent live show, so every day we've been getting their verdict on the previous night's acts. And today, it's the turn of Richard Hadfield, who thought last night's show was "fantastic" (if "a mixed bag").
And Richard knows what Britain's Got Talent can do for an act. "We've had a number one album, we've travelled halfway across the world, performed to 20 million people on Japanese television," he said. "We're going to America, we just signed a massive American record deal. We performed at the Royal Variety which was amazing, to meet Kate and Wills, and we've got a second album coming out. It's just all overwhelming, and when any of us just get to have a moment's break and just think about the things we've done in a short period of time - we're so appreciative of Britain's Got Talent...

Simon Cowell has suggested that he may shake-up the judging panel on Britain's Got Talent.
The panel has consisted of Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams since 2012. Previous judges include Michael McIntyre, David Hasselhoff and Piers Morgan.
Speaking to Bang Showbiz, the 54-year-old said: "I'm possibly looking at a shake-up for next year. It's about having a conversation to see how much they want to be on the show.
"Are they still into the idea of finding a star? I never want a judge for hire. I want someone committed."
Speaking about his relationship with David Walliams, Cowell said that the comedy actor had overstepped the mark on a few occasions with some of his comments.
"He gets really over-excited on the live shows and says and does things he wasn't planning, then sometimes regrets it," Cowell explained.
"But he kind of makes it interesting.I knew what...

In just over 24 hours' time, the 11 finalists on Britain's Got Talent will take to the stage one last time in an attempt to prove their worth (and win some money and a spot in the Royal Variety Show, of course). While it's hard to believe, the victorious act will be the eighth to take the crown.
Over the years, there has been a bit of a range of acts - we've had everything from dancers (George Sampson and Diversity) to singers (Paul Potts, Jai McDowall) to a gymnastic dance troupe (Spelbound) to a dog (Ashleigh & Pudsey) to well, whatever you would count Attraction as.
So, a variety, then. But this year, the complaints about too many singers - which have always bubbled in the background - have really started to gain ground. Are there just too many this year?
There are admittedly lots of crooners in tomorrow's big event: of 11 final acts,...

Britain's Got Talent winners Attraction have brushed off Simon Cowell's suggestion that they didn't make the most of their victory.
Cowell criticised the group last month, claiming that they didn't take "advantage" of their win and saying: "Attraction won people over, but now they are appearing on an insurance advert."
However, Attraction choreographer Zoltán Szucs dismissed Cowell's criticism, suggesting that the group will tour the UK when their act is perfected.
"The British public are waiting for a very special performance but it's not something that can happen straight away," he said. "We are working on two performances, an emotional one to thank the British people for voting for us, and an entertaining show for Las Vegas.
"Simon knows that we will do a UK tour when we're ready. The timing is not important; it is the quality. I want to build up Attraction to be a worldwide brand...

Britain's Got Talent judge Simon Cowell has revealed that he expects a Brit to win this year.
Speaking at the show's press launch yesterday (April 9), Cowell suggested that foreign acts enter the competition because they are keen to take part in the Royal Variety Performance.
Has Britain still Got Talent? 11 memorable Bgt acts, then and now
Joking that he gets a phone call from the Queen "once a week", he added: "If [the Royal Family] didn't like it, they wouldn't let us do the thing on the Royal Variety, and it is what makes this show unique. I think it's one of the reasons why we get so many people from around the world entering the show, because it is a huge deal for them to perform in front of the Royal Family."
He added: "We do attract more foreign acts and they're welcome. They all like to be on the show because of the Royal Family.

David Walliams ''cant believe'' he gets paid for being on 'Britain's Got Talent'. The funnyman has so much fun working as a judge on the ITV show - which Hungarian act Attraction won earlier this month - and he puts it down to the chemistry he has with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden. He told The Sun newspaper: ''It was a brilliant series.

The Big Brother's Bit on the Side host praised his former X Factor boss for not getting "enraged" when Natalie Holt attacked him during opera singers Richard and Adam's performance on Saturday (June 8).

We can now add another chapter to the long, colorful history of people hating Simon Cowell: A woman named Natalie Holt stormed the stage during Saturday's Britain's Got Talent finale and pelted Cowell and his fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams with raw eggs. The incident took place before Hungarian shadow dance troupe Attraction were crowned the winners, as singing Welsh brothers Richard and Adam Johnson were belting out "The Impossible Dream." As it turns out, Holt is the Johnsons' violinist, as well as an apparently disgruntled 2012 Bgt contestant. She later told The Telegraph she was protesting "people miming on television" and "Simon and his dreadful influence on the music industry." Holt was promptly removed from the stage following the egg bomb and later issued an apology. ITV won't be pressing charges.

Cowell is planning a lucrative deal for the shadow dance troupe in the entertainment capital, The Sun reports.

"People love them and they have an incredible show. He firmly believes their future is in Las Vegas."
The show boss is hoping to land the act a headline gig at one of the city's top hotels.
"They could land a long-running show to rival Cirque du Soleil, who have been putting on shows in Vegas for years and have made a mint," the source added.

Britain's Got Talent finalist Francine Lewis has promised some new impressions for next weekend's final.
The comedian admitted that she didn't expect to reach the final and had only focused on her semi-final performance on Friday.
She told This Morning's Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: "It was terrifying and very exciting as well... it was the most amazing feeling when you see that audience and it's a very surreal feeling - this is a show you've watched forever and you're there and in front of those judges, it's amazing."
On her semi-final routine, she said: "I thought I'd give a good mix... I had to bring in some of the characters that people really enjoyed, but also bring in some new ones and I kept changing it until the last minute - until I went on stage, I was rewriting little bits and pieces with my cousin."
