As his new film Thelma hits UK cinemas, the actor who is known for A Clockwork Orange, starring in South Park and killing Captain Kirk is taking your questions
In Thelma, out now, Malcolm McDowell does not play one of the dazzling antiheroes which either made his name – in If…., O Lucky Man! and A Clockwork Orange – or helped propel his turn-of-the-century career revival, with Gangster No 1 and 2003’s I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.
Instead, he plays the pitiful owner of a suburban bric-a-brac shop who, to keep the lights on, has a side hustle in swindling vulnerable pensioners out of large sums by pretending to be a lawyer who needs paying now for errant grandchildren’s counsel.

In the mid-1980s, Jon Bon Jovi was preparing for his make-or-break third album with his namesake band Bon Jovi. The album that would eventually be known as Slippery When Wet was still in the planning stages when Jon and Richie Sambora were introduced to songwriter Desmond Child. During their first meeting, Child handed Jon a song title that would launch the band into the stratosphere, “You Give Love a Bad Name.” Jon’s jaw-dropping reaction predetermined the tune’s mega-success.
Jon Bon Jovi had a surprise reaction to ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’
In an interview for Shout it Out Loudcast, Desmond Child recalled first meeting Jon Bon Jovi and guitarist and songwriter Richie Sambora. During that meeting, the genesis of one of the band’s biggest hits took place.
Child recalled, “I went to New Jersey to write at this little wooden house at the end of this cul-de-sac.

The late singer Warren Zevon famously sang, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead,” and those are words that Clint Eastwood seems to have taken to heart. At age 91, Eastwood has already beaten the odds.

This week, British actor, writer and director Noel Clarke has made headlines after being accused of groping, harassment and bullying by 20 women.
Clarke played Mickey Smith in “Doctor Who” from 2005 to 2010 and starred as Sam in the films “Kidulthood,” “Adulthood” and “Brotherhood,” which he wrote and directed, intent on bringing more representations of working-class Britain to screen. Clarke also writes, produces and plays Aaron Bishop in the British police procedural series “Bulletproof,” alongside close friend Ashley Walters.
Clarke made his film debut in 2003’s “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” and has since starred in movies including “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “Centurion,” “4.3.2.1.,” “Fast Girls,” “Storage 24,” “I Am Soldier,” “The Anomaly,” “I Kill Giants,” “Mute,” “10×10,” “The Corrupted,” “Twist” and “Sas: Red Notice.”
In 2015, Clarke founded the London-based production company Unstoppable Film and Television with Jason Maza, eventually securing investment from super-indie All3Media, which owns “Fleabag” producer Two Brothers and “1917” outfit Neal Street Productions.

[Editor’s note: The following review contains spoilers for “Dead Simple,” the first installment of BritBox’s “Grace.”]
British crime author Peter James is an unqualified success: He’s written 36 novels and sold more than 20 million copies of those books, which have been translated into 37 languages. For the unfamiliar, let me share a sampling of the Amazon reviews for 2005’s “Dead Simple,” the first novel in his 16-book series starring Detective Superintendent Roy Grace:
-“The book has made me angry!”
-“A rather silly plot”
-“Phobia Alert!!!”
-“No one acts the way they should.”
Judging by these reviews, “Dead Simple,” as it turns out, has been very faithfully adapted by BritBox — the online streaming service co-owned by the BBC and ITV — for its first dip into original programming. The plot of the BritBox version is truly insane, apparently much like the book, and it’s only thanks to the solid, empathetic performance of John Simm as...

The Notorious B.I.G. is the only solo male artist being inducted into the delayed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony next month. In fact, he is the only solo male to be chosen for the past three induction ceremonies. This astounding fact follows several years of voters catching up on such artists as Neil Diamond (2011), Donovan (2012), Randy Newman (2013), Peter Gabriel (2014), Cat Stevens (2014), Lou Reed (2015), Bill Withers (2015), Steve Miller (2016), Nile Rodgers (2017) and Tupac Shakur (2017) with none for 2018 and 2019.
It’s not for a lack of choices, however. Our new poll below offers 12 male artists who have been ignored for years despite being eligible for induction. Vote for the one man you feel most deserves to be selected for the 2021 ceremony.
We also recently offered very popular polls about which rock group you wanted next (won by The Go-Go’s) and which female artist you would choose (won by...

Usually June is associated with the first real month of summer -- a time to go out and frolic through the wilderness like a snowman that doesn't know any better. But it also gets really, really hot, which has people retreating to their local multiplex or, even better, their luxuriously air-conditioned living rooms. With that in mind, take a look at the television shows and movies that will be available on Netflix's steaming service come June (via Vulture).
Thought the snail-who-dreamed-of-being-a-racecar saga ended with last summer's DreamWorks Animated joint "Turbo?" Think again. Apparently there's a television spin-off. And you can watch it on Netflix. We also have to give it up for a pair of wonderful sequels that are going to be on in June: the obviously-shot-in-Canada-even-though-it's-set-in-New York robo-epic "Short Circuit 2" (a favorite since childhood) and the far darker and more sinister "Wolf Creek 2," a sequel to the...

This review contains spoilers.
1.8 I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
After last week's stabbing shenanigans, Remy spends this week's episode in a sleep clinic, where she continues to be haunted by the man in the dark hat. It provides us some helpful backstory: namely, that Remy was visited by the man when she was a little girl as she slept. Mostly, anyway, because one time, she managed to wake up. Since his return, Remy remains as committed as ever to seeing her dreams through, since the information she's been gaining through them has helped the team learn more about the curse. It's really great to see her dad and Luke support her in this episode, especially Luke. I admit that he and Remy never really "clicked" for me...

On the latest "Ravenswood," the scares are plentiful when Remy goes "Nightmare on Elm Street" on us and the murderous preacher throws her a tea party.
The Curse
Remy checks into a sleep clinic and during the admission process, finds out she's been dreaming about Gabriel Abadon, the murderous preacher, and his three-sided knife since she was seven years old. Um, yikes. Then when she falls asleep, she finds herself in her childhood bedroom and watches as said murderous preacher goes after her young self. After she seemingly scares him away, he grabs her from behind and Remy wakes up from the dream. Double yikes. It was quite scary, we jumped a foot when she was grabbed by Abadon.
In a later dream, Remy is confronted by a terrifying clown doll and the preacher attacks her -- and then has a tea party with her. No, we're not making a joke.

In last week's episode, Caleb's dad came to town, causing Caleb to worry that his father would get caught up in the curse. Remy's sleep-walking turned into sleep-drawing and sleep-stabbing, so she decided to get help before she escalated to sleep-killing. And Miranda finally got her hands on her jar, only to be warned that she did not understand what would happen if she left the safety of Collins' place.
In this week's episode, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," Caleb tries to learn more about the town's history while Miranda discovers both the consequences and benefits of destroying her jar. Meanwhile, Remy's experience at the sleep clinic could leave her trapped inside of her nightmares forever. Read on to find out if Ravenswood continues to keep us guessing.

Check out this exclusive sneak peek look at "Ravenswood's" latest episode, titled "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" -- which we hope does not turn out to literally be true for Remy (Britne Oldford).
In the clip, Remy and her father meet with Dr. Russell (guest star Linda Gehringer), who tells the Beaumonts, "Remy is displaying an unusual combination of sleep symptoms. But I'm more concerned about what the stress is doing to her physically. ... Your mind's a busy place, always has been. You saw a psychologist for sleep-related issues when you were seven."
When Remy says that the medication Dr. Elmore prescribed at the time made the sleep problems go away, Russell then says, "I think that everything happening now can be traced back to that nightmare you had as a little girl."
That's interesting. What do you suppose "that nightmare" is? Was Remy dreaming about the pact and...

Monsterwolf is the kind of movie that ten minutes in you'll be saying to yourself, “Oh god, I don't think I can get through this one.” It's also the kind of movie you'll pause to check the time and say, “Oh god, I can't believe it's only half over. I don't think I can do it.”
Released in 2010 as a Syfy original, Monsterwolf is about an evil oil company that's trying to drill in a small town, but is being fought by the local native American tribe. Actually, it's only one native American, but I guess they couldn't afford to flesh out the cast. If it sounds like you've seen this film before, you probably have, it's called On Deadly Ground, starring Steven Seagal.
The oil company drills into an ancient Indian burial ground and unleashes a wolf creature that's hell bent on exacting its revenge.

She’s been keeping an insane schedule, and last night (May 11) Lady GaGa was spotted leaving her concert in Berlin, Germany.
The “Paparazzi” songstress looked rather worn out as she made her exit from the O2 Arena, sporting a skimpy black ensemble.
During a recent concert, GaGa explained, "You know when people say, 'Lady GaGa's really tired, she needs to take a break', I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, okay?"
She added, "I know that I work really hard and I run myself into the ground, and I also know that alcohol will kill me one day. But I would rather not die on vacation; I'd rather die on stage with all my fans."...

Lady GaGa halted a concert in Sweden on Friday, May 7 to assure fans she has no plans to take time off despite feeling exhausted, telling the crowd: "I'll sleep when I'm dead". The "Poker Face" star was performing in Stockholm when she became emotional upon hearing the crowd singing along to her track "Speechless", and she promptly stopped playing to speak candidly about her exhaustion.
She told her fans, "You sound so good singing those lyrics! You know when people say, 'Lady GaGa's really tired, she needs to take a break,' I just think about all those times I sang in bars when nobody was singing my lyrics. I'll sleep when I'm dead, Ok?... I'd never give it all up!"

44 Inch Chest stars Deadwood's Ian McShane alongside a who's-who of British beefcake, but who would make John Patterson's dream team of UK movie hard men?
I have to admit I like the look of 44 Inch Chest, and particularly its wall-to-wall cast of British hard men: Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, Steven Berkoff and John Hurt.
John Hurt, you say, a British tough guy? Well, it's all about stunt-casting here; almost every major piece of casting works because somewhere in each actor's back catalogue is at least one meaty outing as a nasty piece of work brandishing a gun. For Hurt it was Stephen Frears's mid-80s Spanish revenger's road-movie The Hit.
Ian McShane is actually a two-stage piece of stunt casting. When he was cast as the ambi-sexual crime lord in Sexy Beast, the film-makers were referencing his role as Richard Burton's gangland catamite in Villain (1971), and...

Well, it's all about stunt-casting here; almost every major piece of casting works because somewhere in each actor's back catalogue is at least one meaty outing as a nasty piece of work brandishing a gun. For Hurt it was Stephen Frears's mid-80s Spanish revenger's road-movie The Hit.
Ian McShane is actually a two-stage piece of stunt casting. When he was cast as the ambi-sexual crime lord in Sexy Beast, the film-makers were referencing his role as Richard Burton's gangland catamite in Villain (1971), and...

More Afm news
Santa Monica -- A clutch of 13 film titles -- some dating back a decade -- has been shifted to British-based sales and financier Intandem from U.S. sales label Seven Arts.
Both companies are well-traveled, experienced sales outfits, and Seven Arts has previously struck deals for the 13 pics, including Keanu Reeves starrer "Johnny Mnemonic," "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" starring Clive Owen and Samuel L. Jackson and "No Good Deed" with Milla Jovovich.
But the fresh representation means Intandem will now be knocking on doors looking for additional fees.
Intandem's sales and marketing directors Billy Hurman and Andrew Brown will be negotiating the renewal of contracts with existing distributors and selling other available territories at Afm.
The switch of sales agents comes on the back of a decision by unspecified finance backers of the original slate of films who are looking for speedier, and bigger, returns on...

Clive Owen Gets Back
By
Alex Simon
Clive Owen is one of those actors that keep surprising you. Just when you think the audience, and the Hollywood establishment, has pegged him as an action hero, a leading man, or a romantic comedy pin-up, Owen pulls an about-face and does something unexpected.
It all started October 3, 1964 in Coventry, England. Owen’s father, a country music singer, abandoned the family when he was just three. His mother later remarried, with Clive and his four brothers raised by his mother and stepfather, who worked for British Rail. Owen has characterized those early years as "rough." A self-described “solidly working class” kid, Owen was bitten by the acting bug at age 13 and followed his dream to The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art several years later. Initially cutting his teeth on high-profile British television programs such as “Chancer” and “Sharman,” as well as art house...

Seven Arts is sued by financier
A Massachusetts film financing company has filed suit in New York federal court against Seven Arts Pictures and its president, Peter Hoffman, claiming it is owed at least $3.4 million in foreign distribution rights for the 2003 crime drama I'll Sleep When I'm Dead.
According to the lawsuit filed Nov. 20, RMM Group owns all distributions rights to the film, which stars Clive Owen and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, for 15 years, pursuant to an April 2002 agreement with the movie's producer, Will & Co.
Under the distribution agreement, Seven Arts was to deposit all gross profits for the film into an account in New York. Minus Seven Arts' percentage, the remainder went to RMM. The contract called for Seven Arts to pay a minimum of $4 million in exchange for all foreign distribution rights by January 2006, according to the suit.
But RMM claims it has only received $559,000 to date and that Seven Arts owes it another $3.4 million.

Dead Man's Shoes
Screened at the Venice International Film Festival
Mike Hodges 1971 thriller Get Carter stands so tall among British crime movies that you'd think filmmakers would move on from the story of a tough guy who returns to the old neighborhood to mete out revenge for what's been done to his brother.
Hodges himself delivered the last subtle word on the subject in his shamefully ignored I'll Sleep When I'm Dead. Director Shane Meadows tries to infuse Dead Man's Shoes with some fancy bits of filming and an underpinning of surrealism. But it remains just another ham-fisted crime story likely to appeal only to domestic U.K. audiences with a taste for predictable pulp.
Paddy Considine, who co-wrote the screenplay with Meadows, plays a returning paratrooper who intends to deliver rough justice to a gang of thugs and drug dealers who have mistreated his genial, slow-witted brother Anthony (Toby Kebbell).
The film plays out in grainy, weird-angled flashbacks and thuddingly unimaginative encounters between the avenger and the villains. Old B-westerns used to come up with better shoot-outs and fight scenes than most British gangster films.
The film is filled with deeply unpleasant and stupid people whose vapid speech is largely incomprehensible due to thick regional accents.

McGregor Leads The Way at Film Festival
Ewan McGregor's upcoming film Young Adam has been picked to launch a major movie event in his native Scotland next month.

The graphic tale, directed by David Mackenzie, contains scenes that have been compared to those involving Marlon Brando in controversial 1972 classic Last Tango In Paris. British gangland thriller I'll Sleep When I'm Dead will also be screened at the festival, as will Cannes Film Festival favorite Mystic River, directed by Clint Eastwood.
