Plot: Cash is trying to live an honest and quiet life, but when Big Cat forces him back into her services, he proves capable of anything to protect the town and the only family he has left.

Review: After 2020’s Fatman, I’ve been patiently waiting to see what the Nelms Brothers would get up to with their next venture. Their more low-budget approach to action has a lot of potential, especially with the right lead. And while they don’t have Mel Gibson, they do have Orlando Bloom re-entering the action genre. But this isn’t some bombastic, new take on blockbusters. Red Right Hand is similar to the action fare you’d find in the bargain bin at Walmart. The action itself is very staged and low impact. And the story fails to surprise, following down the same expected path that these movies often take. But there are some moments that stand out.

You’ve never seen Orlando Bloom like this before. In Red Right Hand, theThe Lord of the Rings, and Carnival Row star plays Cash, a gruff, gritty, and internalized alpha male trying to stay out of trouble. Fate won’t have it. Despite Cash’s efforts to live a quiet life while caring for his recently widowed brother-in-law and niece, he is forced back into the services of kill-happy kingpin, Big Cat (Andie MacDowell).

If you love moody action films boasting elaborately choreographed shootouts and a breathtaking climactic ending, then Red Right Hand, directed by Ian and Eshom Nelms, is your next go-to. But if you’ve seen the film’s poster, one immediate question comes to mind: Are those really Orlando Bloom’s thick veins busting out of his bulky biceps and forearms? No photoshopping here, folks. “They are [his],” laughed Eshom Nelms.

“Eshom and I were working with the artist [for the poster],” Ian Nelms went on,...

Magnolia Pictures has released the first trailer for the gritty action thriller Red Right Hand today, and it sees Orlando Bloom re-enter the line of fire to protect his loved ones. Following his latest turn in Gran Turismo opposite Archie Madekwe and David Harbour, he trades in his Nissan gear to play Cash, whose quiet life in the Appalachian town of Odim County is disrupted by local crime lord Big Cat (Andie MacDowell). Forced under her thumb once again, he chooses to make a stand for his home and only remaining family.

Apparently Duff did not intend for that story about the chicken to spread outside the home.

“Whoaaa! Don’t trust your kids!” she wrote in a caption. “Home girl ousted me to the soccer coaches.”

She also shared a photo of her daughter smiling on a swing, with the caption, “The rat.”

If there's anyone that can rival Justin Bieber's prankster ways, it's Rob Dyrdek.

"Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory" is back for a fourth season, and with it comes a special guest appearance by none other than the Biebs. In the first episode, Dyrdek convinces Jb that the only real way to earn respect is to do crazy things. Don't worry Beliebers, in the sneak peek below we see that when it comes to the Biebs, safety is first.

Safety is not necessarily first for Dyrdek though, who -- to Biebs' disbelief -- allows a live Tiger to attack him. Why? We aren't entirely sure.

The Season 4 premiere also marks the return of fan favorite and "Rob and Big" alum, Christopher "Big Black" Boykin. This season, Big Black moves his Bb Enterprises office into Corpo, and joins the "Fantasy Factory" crew in their daily shenanigans. Also returning to the series are Chris "Drama" Pfaff,...
