#THEDREW Will Premiere At @LAFilmFest On June 13th

By
What do Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas and James Harden have in common? They have all, at one point or another, played in Los Angeles’s The Drew League.

Established at Charles Drew Jr. High School in South L.A. in 1973, the league sets out to help young players sharpen their skills and form meaningful connections on the court. Now one of California’s premier pro-am showcases, the league continues to support and offer the players and the community a safe haven and place to follow their passions.

Former NBA player and Emmy© nominated producer Baron Davis (Crips and Bloods) has set out to reveal the figures and efforts behind this movement in his upcoming film THE DREW: NO EXCUSE, JUST PRODUCE, which chronicles the history of The Drew League.

This is a story that reaches far beyond the core, it presents an authentic and human depiction of how the African-American residents of this Los Angeles area use the strength and power of their community to positively impact their environment at both a local and national level.



THE DREW will have its World Premiere as part of LAFF’s Muse section on June 13.

A FILM BY BARON DAVIS & CHAD GORDON

*Los Angeles Film Festival World Premiere in LA Muse Section*

World Premiere Screening:
Saturday June 13 at 6:00PM - Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE 11

From humble beginnings in 1970’s Los Angeles, deep in the crime and gang infested blocks of South Central, The Drew League has grown into the nation’s premiere destination for pro-am basketball. “The Drew: No Excuse, Just Produce” chronicles the unlikely rise of a hoops institution, the men and women who made it possible, and the unifying, positive force it has become while crossing racial, cultural, and socioeconomic barriers. Featuring NBA stars including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, James Harden, and Baron Davis, “The Drew: No Excuse, Just Produce” celebrates the value of basketball, persistence, loyalty, and above all, community. The power of sports meets the power of people.

Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS In Austin

By
Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on December 5th at 7:30 PM in Austin. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
