Jerry O’Connell deserved better. Frankly, anyone does than this, though O’Connell in particular is a solid actor who has thrived in raunchy comedies before. However, this marks a career low-point, if not for him (he at least still tries) than his agent for passing this script on to him. Ballbuster is one of the worst movies that I’ve seen in years, deeply unfunny, indifferently made, and downright embarrassing for its cast and crew. That anyone gave money for this to be made boggles the mind. It’s being released today, though a more apt description is that it’s escaping. Avoid it at all costs. The flick is, supposedly, a comedy, though all evidence to the contrary. After an opening sequence showcasing how tough his father was on him, we meet star basketball player Rich Johnson (O’Connell) in his waning years. Trying to win his new team their first championship,...

When I’m sent DVD’s to review, I feel I have a a sense of responsibility to make sure that I bring you the best and well rounded view that I possibly can. When straight-to-dvd sequel, Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball came through my letter box from Universal Pictures, I thought to myself…. I want to watch this but I haven’t seen the first one! That was soon rectified by bumping it up to the top of my LoveFilm list and off we went!
The original Smokin’ Aces had an ensemble cast which included Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keys, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven and Chris Pine as well as being directed by Joe Carnahan. The second installment however was less impressive having just one member of the original cast in the form of Tommy Flanagan (the guy in Gladiator who was Russell Crowe’s side-kick...

Universal Studios Home Entertainment has unveiled the trailer for the upcoming “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball,” a prequel to Joe Carnahan’s kinetic hitman flick.
“Smokin’ Aces 2″ synopsis: Federal agents once again match wits with a cadre of creative killers in the high-octane feature-length film Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball. Walter Weed (Tom Berenger) is an unassuming desk jockey at the FBI when the Bureau uncovers a plot to assassinate him. A team of degenerate, psychotic assassins dispatched by mystery man Hal Leuco to win a huge bounty includes a resourceful beauty who has a unique method of killing her prey (Martha Higareda), a power-tool wielding psychopath (Vinnie Jones) and a deadly master of disguise (Tommy Flanagan). Also in the hunt is the fan-favorite Tremor family from the original film, featuring nymphomaniacal gun-nut (Autumn Reeser) and her lethal kinfolk (Maury Sterling, Michael Parks and C. Ernst Harth).

The cast for the Smokin' Aces prequel, currently being called Smokin' Aces 2, continues to grow with the addition of both Vinnie Jones and Martha Higareda. A perfect mix really: Some testosterone-fueled toughness with a splash of estrogen hotness.
Vinnie Jones and Martha Higareda Smokin' Aces
The good people at Moviehole have learned that Vinnie Jones and Martha Higareda will join Tom Berenger, David Richmond-Peck, Sofia Vergara, Michael Parks, Merwin Mondesir and Tommy Flanagan in the Smokin' Aces prequel. We are also told that Maury Sterling will reprise his role as Lester Tremor, and Christopher Holley will be back as Beanie, Buddy Ace's loyal aid from the previous film.

Guy Ritchie favorite Vinnie Jones has joined the cast of the upcoming direct-to-disc flick Smokin’ Aces: Blowback, a prequel to the 2006 Joe Carnahan action film. Jones’ credits include X-Men: The Last Stand, Midnight Meat Train and the upcoming comedy Year One. The casting news comes from Moviehole and the site has also confirmed that Martha Higareda and Maury Sterling, who played Lester Tremor in the original film, have signed on to the film. Tom Berenger, Nestor Carbonell, Christopher Holley, David Richmond-Peck, Sofia Vergara, Michael Parks, Merwin Mondesir and Tommy Flanagan also star.

P.J Pesce (Lost Boys: The Tribe) is directing. Jones will play McTeague a bloodthirsty and cunning assassin on the trail of a protected witness. Reprising their roles from the first flick,...

Moviehole reports that Vinnie Jones has joined the cast of Smokin' Aces 2. What's sort of hard to believe is that he wasn't in the first movie. I thought Hollywood was contractually required to cast Vinnie Jones's buzz cut in every vaguely gritty, shoot-em-up movie? In addition to a career of mediocre shoot-em-ups, Jones was also in X-Men 3. That's the place most of the movie going masses are likely to know him from. In Smokin' Aces 2, a prequel to the original Joe Carnahan helmed movie, he'll play an assassin named McTeague, on the trail of a witness under guard. Hey, that sounds a lot like the plot of the first movie. Also in the film according to Mh is newcomer Martha Higareda, as well as previous Smokin' actors Maury Sterling (who played Lester Tremor) and Christopher Holley (Beanie in the first movie). They join Tom Berenger, David Richmond-Peck, Sofia Vergara,...

The prequel to Joe Carnahan's kinetic hitman flick Smokin' Aces just added some extra knuckles. Full-time tough-guy Vinnie Jones is bringing his scowl and punching skills to the flick, playing (no surprise here) "a bloodthirsty and cunning assassin on the trail of a protected witness", so sayeth my man Clint over at Moviehole. Smokin' Aces: Blowback will also feature Martha Higareda (Street Kings), and the return of Christopher Holley ("Beanie") and Maury Sterling (the...
