Say what you will about L.A. gangs, but they know how to step it up for a guest: “Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena got a front row seat to Los Angeles gang violence. The actors, who were on riding along with police on patrol in South Los Angeles, were on the scene of a gang shooting late Wednesday. The actors are researching police work for their roles in the upcoming movie End of Watch. . Sgt. Angela McGee says a gang member shot a rival, who is hospitalized with a grazing bullet wounds above his lip and on an arm. Two suspects walked away and there are no arrests.” [ AP ]

A small story is laid out in broad, biblical terms in Life, Above All , a ye-who-is-without-sin parable set in contemporary, AIDS -stricken South Africa. Director Oliver Schmitz takes great and often very photogenic pains to indict the shame and secrecy attached to the epidemic that has made South Africa the country with the highest incidence of HIV infections in the world.

For those of you who follow the television news beat, Glee creator Ryan Murphy telling The Hollywood Reporter that Lea Michele, Chris Colfer and Cory Monteith would not return to the Emmy-nominated Fox comedy (“comedy”) following the upcoming third season shouldn’t have been that surprising. After all, Murphy has been saying for months that the McKinley High School seniors would graduate at the close of season three. What that means for the future of Glee is certainly up for debate — one that Movieline sister site TVL ine will keep you abreast on; what that means for the three biggest Glee stars, however, is firmly in Movieline territory. Where do they go from here? Let’s discuss!

Best known as Jason Stackhouse on HBO’ s True Blood , Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten takes a quirky turn — and dons a superhero costume for the first time onscreen — in the Aug. 19 romantic-comedy Griff the Invisible . Kwanten stars as Griff, a mild-mannered and majorly awkward office schlub by day who moonlights as a masked crusader at night to escape his bullies and naysayers — until he meets an equally oddball dream girl and starts coming to terms with living in the real world. Get your first look at Kwanten the superhero AND Kwanten the geek in Movieline’s exclusive gallery .

On top of being one of the worst-reviewed filmmakers of all time, German director Uwe Boll is many things: the possessor of a doctorate in literature, an author, an avid boxer (who has literally knocked out his critics ), a recipient of the rare Razzie “Worst Career” award, an outspoken adversary of Michael Bay, a non-chewer of Stride gum (the company supported a petition for him to retire in 2008), an unwavering believer in his own “art” form. And judging from the five minutes Movieline spent with him during Tuesday’s press event for BloodRayne: Third Reich — the straight-to-DVD third film in his BloodRayne franchise — Boll is also a current-events buff with an affinity for George Clooney movies and small, fluffy dogs.

It’s unofficially Transformers: Dark of the Moon day here at Movieline! First, we discussed just how badly Michael Bay wants each and every one of you (even you, Megan Fox ) to see the third installment of his testosterone-fueled franchise in 3-D . Then, we celebrated star Shia LaBeouf’s excellence at giving good quote . To close out T:DOTM Day properly, here’s another explosion-packed TV spot for the film which hits theaters in IMAX showings on Tuesday night.

Great news for Team Jacki has just cleared the wires at Movieline HQ — or at least potentially great news, or very likely great news: Two of Australia’s most prominent film figures are moving ahead with Sydney, I Love You , the latest shorts compilation to round up an all-star cast in the service of vast urban appreciation. The goal is, in their words, “a love letter from Australia’s top film talent to one of the great cities of the world” — much in the spirit of the 2006 omnibus Paris Je Taime and its 2009 companion piece New York, I Love You .
