Based on a gripping, unbelievable true story of money, power and opulent decadence, Lionsgate’s The Devil’s Double takes a white-knuckle ride deep into the lawless playground of excess and violence known as Bagdad, 1987. Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein’s palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif Yahia (Dominic Cooper) is thrust into the highest echelons of the “royal family” when he’s ordered to become the ‘fiday’ – or body double – to Saddam’s son, the notorious “Black Prince” Uday Hussein (also Dominic Cooper), a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family’s lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince’s psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sangier), Uday’s seductive mistress who’s haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday’s depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil’s den will only come at the highest possible cost.
The Devil’s Double is a dynamic, chilling adaptation of Latif Yahia’s autobiographical novel, charting one man’s defiant struggle to survive a viper’s pit of corruption and brutality.
Do not miss this drama, where they show us the corruption of money and wealth in the political system.

Point Blank (A Bout Portant), a taut and gritty suspense thriller from France written and directed by Fred Cavayé, starring Gilles Lellouche, Roschdy Zem, Gérard Lanvin and Elena Anaya. Selected in the Spotlight section of the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival.
This movie is a French thriller full of action, where some persecutions are the main ingredient. This story describes the corruption of some gangs and how they want to blame a man like the main target. Samuel (Lellouche) is a happily married nurse working in a Paris hospital. When his very pregnant wife (Anaya) is kidnapped before his helpless eyes, everything falls apart. After being knocked unconscious, he comes to and his cell phone rings: he has three hours to get Sartet (Zem), a man under police surveillance, out of the hospital. So this is an exhilarating non-stop ride through Paris’ streets, subways, hospitals, warehouses, and police stations, as Samuel quickly finds himself pitted against rival gangsters and trigger-happy police in a deadly race to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Certainly is a good movie that can not be missed in theaters.

Family and friends were at funeral of Amy Winehouse in London

NO ONE may know if she suffered in her final moments alone in bed but last night Amy Winehouse was laid to rest, her well documented troubles finally over.
The 27-year-old singer, who was found dead at her Camden home in north London on Sunday, was cremated during a private ceremony overnight.
Her parents Mitch and Janis and brother Alex were joined by Winehouse’s close friends including Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and close friend Kelly Osbourne – in a Winehouse beehive – and music producer Mark Ronson at the the Golders Green crematorium in north London.
A private service had been held earlier in Edgware, North London.
Police were called in to control up to 500 fans, media and onlookers who flooded the area to pay their respects outside the Jewish ceremony.
The service was led by a rabbi and included prayers in English and Hebrew and reminiscences from Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse.
The cab driver and jazz singer, who helped foster his daughter’s love of music, ended his eulogy with the words: “Goodnight, my angel, sleep tight. Mummy and Daddy love you ever so much.”
It ended with a rendition of Carole King’s So Far Away, one of Winehouse’s favorite songs.
“Mitch was funny, he told some great stories from childhood about how headstrong she was, and clearly the family and friends recognized the stories and laughed along,” said family spokesman Chris Goodman.
Winehouse’s ex-husband and former junkie Blake Fielder-Civil, 29, was unable to attend and remained in a northern England prison where he is serving 32 months for burglary and a firearm offence.
The cause of death remains unknown, but Winehouse’s family reportedly believe she died from a heart attack or seizure due to years of drug and alcohol abuse.
Police will take a further four weeks to finalize toxicology results.
Winehouse’s boyfriend Reg Traviss, 35, told of his heartache over the loss of “my dear love”.
“I can’t describe what I’m going through,” the film director told The Sun newspaper.
“I want to thank all those who are mourning the loss of Amy – such a beautiful, brilliant person and my dear love.”
He said Winehouse had not been struggling to cope, as reports have suggested, but had been looking forward to a friend’s wedding in the days leading up to her death. Winehouse’s funeral was at the same crematorium and mausoleum where actor Peter Sellers, The Who drummer Keith Moon and Marc Bolan of TRex were cremated.
