Bonnie & Clyde: What Did You Think of Lifetime, A&E & History Remake?

Bonnie & Clyde began its two-night premiere on Lifetime, A&E and the History channel last night, and did its best to introduce the 1967 film to new audiences. While by no means an attempt to upstage Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway‘s classic, it tried to rewrite the hit film with modern settings and viewers in mind. Did it succeed? Bonnie & Clyde Clip – Busting Out Emile Hirsch starred as Clyde Barrow, mixing boyish charm with criminal ruthlessness in a character whom viewers could root against or become sympathetic to. British actress Holliday Grainger, as Bonnie Parker, is fiery, fearless, and compelling as his partner in crime, whose chemistry with him was palpable. Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Elizabeth Reaser and Sarah Hyland also turned in strong performances when the gun-toting duo wasn’t raising hell. In order to enjoy Bonnie & Clyde , you basically had to not compare it to the original, a difficult task. But on its own merit, it was pretty good, right? Part 2 continues the saga tonight. What do you think so far?   Loved it! Not bad … Not a big fan … Weak. View Poll »

Scarlett Johansson Gives Breathy Vocals for Single Bonnie and Clyde: Take a Listen

Scarlett Johansson ‘s sexy pillowy voice has once again been leant to recorded music. The Avengers star joined French recording star Lulu Gainsbourg for a club-loungy version of Bonnie & Clyde . The song is just one from other notables who took part in an album, which Gainsbourg created as a tribute for his father, Serge Gainsbourg. Other famous voices bellowing for the album called From Gainsbourg to Lulu are Iggy Pop, Rufus Wainwright as well as Johnny Depp and now ex Vanessa Paradis. In the original song, based off a poem penned by infamous outlaw Bonnie Parker herself, the elder Gainsbourg paired up with another blonde bombshell of the day, French actress Brigitte Bardot back in 1968. So, this latest duo seems a perfect match. The only notable change aside from the latest version’s apparently softer tone is that Johansson sings her parts in English, while Gainsbourg sticks with French. But this is not the first time Johansson has hit the recording studio. She also released an entire album of Tom Waits covers back in 2008. Listen to Scarlett Johansson and Lulu Gainsbourg’s verion of Bonnie & Clyde here . Listen to Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis’ version of Ballade de Melodie Nelson here .

Kurt Angle on Warrior, His Longtime Acting Ambition and Following The Rock Out of the WWE

It’s a curious version of the real pro wrestler Kurt Angle that you get from the ring persona he’s projected over the years as a star of the WWE (née WWF ) and now TNA Wrestling, where he’s currently the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. The real-life former Olympic wrestler has played off his 1996 gold medal win as wrestling’s bona fide “American Hero” since his 1998 WWF debut, juggling multiple wrestling companies and countless ring titles while a version of his own personal life, warped through the wrestling world’s faux-realist backstage lens, is broadcast every week to millions of fans. But what Angle really wants to do — what he wanted to do even before pro wrestling came calling — is act. Seriously act.
