According to the website, Pimp only grossed a measly £205.00 during it’s opening weekend, and only 24 people went to see the film.

VIDEO: TREY SONGZ – THAT GRAPE JUICE INTERVIEW

Singer Trey Songz is currently here in the London on a promotional gig, and website That Grape Juice caught up with him for a chat. I’ve never really paid that much attention to Trey. I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. But this awkward interview made me laugh. First off Trey looks like a pretentious little fool sitting there wearing sunglasses throughout the entire interview, inside the Atlantic Records building. It’s just rude!

My favourite film critic Mark Kermode reviews Sex And The City 2 and SLAUGHTERS it. I love Mark! Hilarious! Sex And The City just doesn’t work on the big screen. The first film was a let down. I remember when the show was about the friendship between the four women first, then the relationships, and last but not least the fashion/lifestyle. Now the film franchise just seems focused on the fashion and product placement. They should have just focused on making another series. Forget []

UK FILM: 4.3.2.1 REVIEW

I recently attended the press screening for the highly anticipated new British film 4.3.2.1, starring Noel Clarke, Emma Roberts, Adam Deacon, Tasmin Egerton, Shanika Warren-Markland and Ophelia Lovibond. 4.3.2.1 follows the lives of four best friends who become involved in a major diamond heist. A much put upon and harassed Joanne (Emma Roberts) works shifts in a 24 hour supermarket. A job she clearly despises and you get the impression that she doesn’t have much of a social life. Kerrys (Shanika Warren-Markland) is a strong, outspoken, []
