Welcome to this review of WWE Payback 2023, three years after Roman Reigns turned heel and challenged for the Universal Title… and we all know how that turned out! Let’s see what this year’s pay-per-view has in store…
Match #1: Steel Cage Match – Becky Lynch def. Trish Stratus The following is courtesy of wwe.com:
The Man came to Pittsburgh and made good on her word as she dispatched WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus in a thrilling Steel Cage Match. Trish Stratus started the match by attempting to unceremoniously escape the cage, but she was captured by Lynch. The Man went to work, tossing the Hall of Famer all around the ring and even into the steel structure. Both Superstars exchanged incredible moves, like Trish Stratus hitting a Widow’s Peak and Lynch nailing not only a Twist of Fate, but also a back-breaking superplex. Zoey Stark...

Half-way through shooting Seth Larney’s 2067 in Adelaide, Ryan Kwanten is convinced the sci-fi mystery thriller will have a lasting impact on moviegoers.
“There is something behind Seth’s vision which makes this feel like it’s more than a movie,” says the actor, whose extensive credits include HBO’s True Blood, Ivan Sen’s Mystery Road, Fox’s comedy New Girl and Peter Templeman’s Not Suitable for Children.
“It has a deeper consciousness and is one of those projects that I know will stay with me for a long time. It will play with people’s snap judgments: it’s not your classic case of good versus evil. There really isn’t a bad person in this movie. Everyone has intentions which they think are honourable.”

The new year is upon us, and it’s time to clean up Netflix once again. Don’t fear too much though, as much as we hate to see some of our favorites leave Netflix, they do a pretty good job at adding some great new content. We lose Almost Famous, A Clockwork Orange, American Psycho, The Graduate, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and all the Rocky movies – and we get Intolerable Cruelty, Training Day, The Rundown and a new Netflix Original for Degrassi: The Next Class.

Ryan Kwanten learnt a lot about guns as Jason Stackhouse in True Blood, and he'll be putting that to good use in his new film Blunt Force Trauma.
The Australian actor leads the cast of the new thriller, which also stars Mickey Rourke and Slumdog Millionaire's Freida Pinto. Digital Spy has an exclusive clip from the film below:
Blunt Force Trauma follows the journey of John (Kwanten) and the aptly-named Colt (Pinto) as gunfighters and lovers, as they attempt to climb the ranks in the underground dueling world.
Speaking about the movie, Kwanten told us that it's not your typical Taken-style action film: "It really had some interesting existential throwbacks to the 1970s-style films, which I really like.
"I obviously grew up in the '70s, I remember my dad showing me High Plains Drifter when I was way too young! There was some nice allusions to that,...

Jamal and Latika together again! On Saturday, Sept. 19, exes Freida Pinto and Dev Patel reunited for the Pratham USA Los Angeles chapter’s 20th anniversary dinner. The pair gave a joint speech at the charity event and embraced as photographers snapped away. The Blunt Force Trauma actress, 30, wore a blush-colored dress with gold accents, while the Newsroom star, 25, still sporting his longer mane and facial hair, donned a navy coat and merlot-colored shirt. Each one looked engaged while the other was speaking for the organization, which [...]...

Blunt Force Trauma follows the journey of John (Kwanten) and Colt (Pinto), gunfighters and sometimes lovers, on parallel but very different journeys through an underground dueling culture. From cockfighting rings and train yards, to basements and barns across South America, modern-day warriors put on bulletproof vests and duel one another in underground gunfights to gain riches and respect. It’s known only as the Game, and Zorringer (Rourke) is its elusive champion. John is looking for the ultimate duel with Zorringer while Colt is seeking revenge for the death of her brother. The two gunslingers travel from one shootout to another on a dangerous journey of love, violence, and clandestine battles.

Professional dueler John (Kwanten) is losing the rush of excitement that once fueled his desire to succeed in his sport of choice.

"This one feels different." The official UK trailer has debuted for a new film called Blunt Force Trauma, starring Mickey Rourke, Ryan Kwanten and Freida Pinto. Despite that rather interesting cast, this is actually going straight-to-dvd and looks a bit like a low budget clunker with some very underlit scenes. The film is about gunfighters, or modern day gun-slingers who actually fight with pistols and bulletproof vests. You know what, that is a cool idea I'll give them that, but this has other problems. Anyway, the cast includes Jon Mack, Jason Gibson, Carolina Gómez and Maruia Shelton. Check it out below if you're curious. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Ken Sanzel's Blunt Force Trauma, direct from YouTube: From cockfighting rings and train yards, to basements and barns across South America, modern-day warriors put on bulletproof vests and battle one another in underground gunfights to gain riches and respect.

While Voltage Pictures is yet to confirm whether the film would get a theatrical release, the company has today unveiled the international trailer for gritty crime drama Blunt Force Trauma.
Bringing together Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto and Ryan Kwanten as John, the film opens with the latter character, a dueller disillusioned after he no longer feels the adrenaline rush from his daring sport of choice. That leaves Kwanten’s protagonist with one choice: to seek out and find the elusive Zorringer (Mickey Rourke) and challenge who many consider to be the true expert in the field. Along this journey he’ll cross paths with Pinto’s Colt, and the pair have been described as “gunfighters and sometimes lovers, on parallel but very different journeys through an underground dueling culture.”
Though the plot doesn’t exactly leap off the page, the international trailer harbors enough gritty action and stylized set-pieces to hold our interest.

Watch: First Trailer For 'Blunt Force Trauma' Starring Mickey Rourke, Freida Pinto, And Ryan Kwanten
Sometimes, we can't explain why movies get made. Maybe there's a tax credit that needs to used, to a production company that has some cash lying around that needs to be written off. Either way, something compelled Mickey Rourke, Frieda Pinto, and Ryan Kwanten to make a movie called "Blunt Force Trauma," and now the trailer is here. Looking every bit as straight-to-dvd as the release will probably get, the movie from Ken Sanzel (whose most notable credit is some episodes of "Numb3rs"), the movie follows a couple of dudes who swing their....guns....in some kind of underground fight club that involves shooting people. But then Johnny Law comes knocking, and ethical dilemmas start to surface, and whatnot. Here's the synopsis: Following the journey of John and Colt, gunfighters and sometimes lovers, on parallel but very different journeys through an underground dueling culture.
