The mother of a female witness who testified Monday that Bill Cosby allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted her testified Tuesday that her daughter was depressed and anxious after the comedian allegedly “intimidated” her into taking a drug at the Bel-Air Hotel in 1996.
“She changed considerably… Anxious. Depressed. Sad,” Dr. Patrice Sewell, a retired educator, said of her daughter, Kelly Johnson, who testified Monday that Cosby allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted her when she was the assistant of his agent at the William Morris talent agency.
“She folded down on herself,” Sewell said, her voice shaking with emotion as she fought off tears.

Imagine finding one of van Gogh’s early sketches for “Starry Night,” or a rough draft of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. For anyone who loves music, the mammoth 50th anniversary reissue of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is just as good—if not better. The expanded package includes nearly two hours worth of outtakes from the groundbreaking 1967 sessions, offering not only an alternate-universe look at some of the most beloved tracks in the rock canon, but also a fascinating fly-on-the-wall view of four young artists at the height of their power.

Universal Music has agreed to pay up to $11.5 million and bump up royalties going forward to resolve a contention lawsuit that alleged it had cheated recording artists by improperly classifying digital downloads off of services like Apple's iTunes as "sales" rather than "licenses." The settlement, filed on Tuesday and needing judge's approval, would compensate an estimated 7,500 artists including named plaintiffs Chuck D. of Public Enemy, Rick James (by way of trust), Dave Mason of Traffic, Whitesnake, Andres Titus of Black Sheep, Ron Tyson of The Temptations, Martha Davis of the Motels, Feliciano Tavares and a

There’s a moment in the first half of The November Man when Pierce Brosnan’s Peter Devereaux is having a tense conversation with his former protégée David Mason (Luke Bracey) and he says “You can either be a human or a killer of humans” and that’s a cool line and it caps off a tense scene but it has nothing at all to do with anything that happens in the film. Instead The November Man is a movie that strings together a number of spy-action clichés to make a movie that isn’t unenjoyable by any means but doesn’t provide anything particularly original. It’s as if Brosnan, an executive producer on this movie, has spent the years since he exited the Bond franchise watching all of the spy movies he could find with a notebook trying to find a way back in to the genre that left him behind.

The November Man is a nasty piece of work — the kind of movie where it’s not enough for a bad guy to get a sniper’s bullet through the brain in close-up; he also has to smash his head against the side of a boat as his lifeless body plummets to the water. (He’s on a boat.) Based on the late author Bill Granger’s popular series of Cold War–era espionage novels, this thriller, updated for our times and starring Pierce Brosnan as Granger’s CIA agent hero Bill Devereaux, is appropriately pulpy — fuss-free and fast. If it doesn’t transcend its genre origins, I suspect it’s because it doesn’t want to.The film opens with a scenario typical of movies like this: the job gone wrong. In this case, it’s a foiled assassination attempt in Montenegro in 2008, in which Devereaux’s protégé David Mason...

One of the absolute best spy thrillers of the past three decades is the Kevin Costner-led No Way Out. Seriously. If you haven’t seen it, or haven’t seen it in a while, go watch it again and marvel at its sharp script, fantastic action set-pieces and electric performances from all involved. Plus Iman! Director Roger Donaldson has returned to the genre on occasion since ’87, but while he’s yet to capture that same magic it hasn’t stopped him from trying. Which brings us to The November Man. Peter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan, himself no stranger to the cinematic spy game) is retired and living the peaceful life of a single parent and shopkeeper when an old friend visits to ask a favor. He needs help with an ex-filtration, and the woman in desperate need of escaping Moscow is someone very close to Peter’s heart and past. He...

For those of you who have been missing Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal of James Bond, you’ll be in for quite a treat this week as he returns to the spy genre in The November Man. Directed by Roger Donaldson, the former 007 star plays ex-cia agent Peter Devereaux, who is enjoying retirement in Switzerland when he is encouraged by an old friend to take on one last mission. It involves protecting a valuable witness named Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko), whom we discover knows more than she is letting on.
But soon the mission takes a personal turn, as Devereaux finds himself up against his former best friend and protégé, David Mason (Luke Bracey), who has been ordered to take him out at any given opportunity. From there, Devereaux can trust nobody as he and Alice are on the run for their lives, hunted by a government that wants certain secrets to remain secret forever.

With apologies to Irving Berlin and Annie Oakley, for Hollywood there’s no business like spy business, especially in the last decade or so. Now, secret agents and undercover operatives have been the protagonists of thrillers since the silent movie era. But things really popped in those swingin’ sixties when 007 twirled around and fired at the camera lens. Bond is the franchise that would never die and aside from Matt Helm and Derek Flint in that early decade, never had any serious competition until Matt Damon floated up as Jason Bourne a dozen years ago. He ushered in an era of more realistic, grittier spies who also helped inspire new film versions of the works of John le Carre’ such as the recent A Most Wanted Man. Much in this same vein comes The November Man, a flick combining the mystery and deception of that author along with that brutal Bourne action.

Perhaps the one sheet of Pierce Brosnan, a man responsible for one of the best incarnations of iconic spy James Bond, with his game face on, pointing a gun under the cheeky tagline "A Spy Is Never Out Of His Game," will be enough to convince some filmgoers that watching “The November Man” won’t be a waste of their time. The image of a scantily clad Olga Kurylenko might be a bonus too. On the other hand, those who aren’t entirely convinced by the poster should ignore the familiar axiom of not judging a book by its cover, and walk away, because other than the prospect of watching one of the best 007’s playing the game again, there’s not much of value or substance in this action thriller. The film begins with the first of many re-used spy genre concepts: a flashback to a tragic event in the field,...

Sunday morning’s 6.1 magnitude earthquake in the Napa Valley hit the wine industry hard, but local theaters and media outlets also took a hit.
The historic Uptown Theatre in downtown Napa, where Dana Carvey and Dave Mason are scheduled to perform next month, sustained damage during the quake but the extent is not yet known.
“We have some visible damage on the outside,” Cynthia Yallop, the theater’s executive director, told Deadline. “There are minor fissures in the stucco, and some mirrors under the marquee were broken.”
Yallop and other members of the theater’s staff got inside the theater by 8Am, but with the power out all over town, it was dark inside to assess damage. Armed with only a flashlight, Yallop said that she could see stucco dust on the floor and on the backs of the seats.

In what feels like an effort to get audiences more interested in next week's release of the new action thriller The November Man starring Pierce Brosnan, Relativity Media has announced pre-production on a sequel. In the first film, Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, a lethal and highly trained ex-cia agent enjoying a quiet life in Switzerland. Lured out of retirement, he must protect valuable witness, Alice Fournier, (Olga Kurylenko), which suddenly marks him a target of his former friend and CIA protégé David Mason (Luke Bracey). Sounds like Brosnan has found a new franchise to follow his time as James Bond from years ago. But if The November Man doesn't do well at the box office, don't expect the film to move forward. Anyway, Robbie Brenner, President of Production at Relativity says, "The November Man is a gritty series that re-invents the spy genre with its master Pierce Brosnan by combining...

Pierce Brosnan is up this year for the entry in the older, action gentleman’s club, and the ex-Bond is a spy again. The November Man, if the trailer is to be believed, packs a lot of action into the story, and finds Peter Devereaux (Brosnan) sucked back into his life as a spy so that he can protect a witness. Naturally, part of the problem protecting her is that there may be a mole, and Devereaux doesn’t know who to trust.
This one hits on August 27th, and may be taking a chance there. Certain other movies with similarities to this one have proven they can perform well, but the tail end of summer competition might be fierce.
At any rate, I liked Brosnan as Bond, and he should be able to pull off a great turn here. I am getting a little bored of the generics of the plot synopsis,...

Pierce Brosnan is back in the spying game for this summer's espionage thriller "The November Man" from director Roger Donaldson. Based on the seventh book in the eponymous series "There Are No Spies" by Bill Granger, "The November Man" also stars Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko, Eliza Taylor and Catherina Scorsone. The trailer puts the focus on Brosnan's character, a seasoned veteran named Devereaux, a retired CIA agent trying to embrace a slower life. He seeks to mentor former friend and protege David Mason (Bracey) during his final mission. Kurylenko stars as the key witness Brosnan is tasked to protect, but that job gets more and more dangerous as the nature of the mission changes and the vulnerability of the CIA comes into question.

Featuring at least two examples of the old maxim about cool guys not looking as they walk away from explosions, the teaser trailer for The November Man has arrived online via Fandango.This opens with Pierce Bronson channelling Bond to lecture CIA newbie Luke Bracey on his philosophy of bullets and how they will make you cease to exist. It’s all part of his training program, since he’s supposed to turn the young whippersnapper into a tough operative like himself and warn him that there’s no room for love in their world.From the looks of the rest of the trailer, however, Brosnan’s Peter Deveraux doesn’t quite practice what he preaches, and soon things are going very wrong for him when those he loves come under fire and he’s pitted against Bracey’s David Mason, who is putting what he learned to good use against his old mentor.

Are you a semi-bankable action star? If so, take a look around. Are you standing amid the set of an action thriller? An action thriller from someone who clearly saw Taken, and thought to him or herself, “Yes. Yes, I must also make this movie?” If so, there are rules in place. Obvious rules that pertain to filmmaking, yes, but then also one great overarching cultural rule. A rule that Pierce Brosnan, who’s made more than a few action pictures, should know how to follow. When walking calmly away from a fireball, do not, under any circumstances, turn around and look at the fireball. This song exists for a reason. An entirely serious and non-silly reason. And yet, at the 1:08 mark in the first trailer for Brosnan’s The November Man, Brosnan is clearly making eye contact with a great plume of fire. For shame. Especially when Luke Bracey, Brosnan...

If you are going to be a spy, there’s no better person to learn from than Mr. James Bond himself. More than a decade following his last outing as 007, Pierce Brosnan joins the spying world yet again in The November Man, albeit in an apparently more serious capacity.
Brosnan is Peter Devereaux, a CIA operative who teaches David Mason (Luke Bracey) how to be a proper spy. When Devereaux is brought back into the game, he finds himself pitted against his own protege on a deadly and personal mission. The November Man is based on the novel There Are No Spies, the seventh book in “The November Man” series by Bill Granger, with direction from Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job). It also stars former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) and character actor Will Patton.

The November Man is based on the novel There Are No Spies, the seventh book in “The November Man” series by Bill Granger, with direction from Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job). It also stars former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) and character actor Will Patton.

“A bullet travels at over four thousand feet per second, four times faster than the speed of sound. The effect of that velocity? Absolute.” What does that mean? Well, in the world of spy thriller “The November Man,” it means Pierce Brosnan has no time for love in this business. Yep, while he plays dashing and refined often, Brosnan can also kick ass, hold a grudge, etc., etc. If that sounds generic, well you just wait. In the movie, The November Man aka Peter Devereaux (Pierce Brosnan) is a lethal and highly trained ex-cia agent, who has been enjoying a quiet life in Switzerland. When Devereaux is lured out of retirement for one last mission, he must protect valuable witness, Alice Fournier, (Olga Kurylenko). He soon uncovers this assignment marks him a target of his former friend and CIA protégé David Mason (Luke Bracey). With growing suspicions of a mole in the agency,...

Earlier this week, Relativity Media surrendered the R-rating for their upcoming actioner The November Man starring Pierce Brosnan and directed by Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job), currently leaving the film without a rating ahead of its August 27 release date. Whyc I can only guess they just didn't want the R-rating associated with the film until they figured out if they wanted to cut to it to PG-13 or just go out with an R. They definitely have some time to figure it out. As for the plot, the story centers on Peter Devereaux (Brosnan), code named 'The November Man', a lethal and highly trained ex-cia agent, who has been enjoying a quiet life in Switzerland. When Devereaux is lured out of retirement for one last mission, he must protect valuable witness, Alice Fournier, (Olga Kurylenko).

Something In The Water: A St. Louis Rockumentary looks at a scene that anyone who was around St. Louis in the ‘70s has to remember as an invigorating period for classic-rock fans. The new documentary looks back at the unique set of circumstances that electrified the music scene here in the late ’60s and early ’70s. The new film by Emmy-winning director Kathy Bratkowski chronicles the advent of free-form radio at stations such as Kshe, the storied concerts at the Mississippi River Festival (Mrf) and Superjam, and the area musicians who used St. Louis stages to reach a national audience. Featuring rare interviews, archived Mrf concert footage, and photos from the musicians themselves, Something In The Water is a funny, honest, and unique account of “ground zero for rock and roll,” as told by those who played a major role in the emergence of classic rock in St. Louis. Interviewees include Rich Dalton,...

December is a month that increasingly sees few releases of new albums, so the closer this list gets to the present day, the fewer albums of importance there are to discuss, and most of those are hip-hop albums.

Traffic: Mr. Fantasy Aka Heaven Is in Your Mind (Island)
Shortly after Steve Winwood quit the Spencer Davis Group (of which he was the lead singer and organist), he formed Traffic with some guys he'd jammed with at a club in Birmingham: guitarist/vocalist Dave Mason, saxophonist/flutist Chris Wood, and drummer/lyricist Jim Capaldi. After a couple of hit singles, they convened at a country cottage and put together the debut album by Traffic, titled Mr. Fantasy in their native country. By the time it was released, Mason had already quit.

Unlike its bovine alternative, the Call of Duty – or CoD, as it’s commonly abbreviated – franchise is capable of being milked just twice in a yearly period. And yet, as the company tugs furiously at the now ample udders of its cash cow – the warm, rich liquid passing the lips of everyone on the way down; from CEO to meagre warehouse attendant – one has to admire their monopolisation of the first person shooter genre.
On a factual basis, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 marks the ninth in the series of the popular Fps; and judging by its continual, financial success, shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. But the question is this – is it any good? Have Activision – courtesy of Black Op creators Treyarch – delivered a game that’s as sharp, gripping and consuming as a blockbuster should be?

Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing at Baxter's (RCA)
This was the Airplane's second LP of 1967, and on it they took the studio freedom their two huge hit singles had earned them and went wild and unsupervised, making a real psychedelic album rather than the carefully contrived simulation of psychedelia that had been Surrealistic Pillow. The result had more avant-garde weirdness than hit singles (RCA had unrealistic hopes for "Watch Her Ride"), but the album actually coheres far better; for all the stylistic disjunctions and studio effects and Jorma Kaukonen's often-abrasive guitar sounds, and for that matter the nine-minute instrumental trio improvisation "Spare Chaynge," it flows organically, creating its own logic.
Cream: Disraeli Gears (I'm not even a Cream fan and I still have to acknowledge the brilliance of "Strange Brew," "Sunshine of Your Love," "Tales of Brave Ulysses," and "Swlabr")

Chicago – Entering a freshly crowded field of first-person shooters, “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” had a lot of buzz behind it. The good news is that the game virtually matches the hype. This is absolutely on the upper end of the get-it-while-it’s-new list. Those who have criticized Activision for turning “Cod” into an annual cash cow simply have little to complain about here. Almost everything has been given the once over and improved upon. This isn’t just some facelift “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.” This is a rethinking of almost every aspect of every system. Whether you choose single player or multiplayer mode, odds are that you’re going to be occupied with this thing for a good long while.

As a recent diagram doing the rounds on the internet showed, there’s a cyclical way in which people feel about Call of Duty. From anticipation to ecstasy, through comparison and hatred, all the way back to anticipation in preparation for the latest incarnation from Activision. There’s some truth in this, and rightly so; each stage makes sense, you’ve liked previous games so it’s natural to be excited about the sequel, or you’ve played the predecessor so much that you’ve noticed annoying nuances that frustrate. All-in-all though, Call of Duty is a behemoth, and I’m still a sucker for it.

With "Black Ops II," Treyarch has not only come out from under the shadow of the alternate year Infinity Ward "Call of Duty" games, but have found wise, ambitious additions to the shooter series in the process. From the dramatically different type of story and the how it's told, to a new set of fun to use weapons and points of interest, to an overhaul to how you loadout in multiplayer, "Black Ops II" may not hit all their marks with every innovation, but what works makes both the campaign and the multiplayer worth revisiting.
The story kicks off in 2025, with the son of "Black Ops" hero David Mason on the trail of freedom fighter/terrorist/all-around bad dude Raul Menendez, a Cold War holdover with a grudge against Alex Mason and his partner Frank Woods. The plot, written by "The Dark Knight Rises" writer David Goyer bounces between the...

War-themed shooters have been around for a while now, but none have ever reached the same level of popularity as Activision’s Call of Duty franchise. Breaking sales records on a regular basis, it happens to be the world’s most beloved video game series at this moment in time, something which likely won’t change anytime soon. After all, years go by and the annual iterations keep coming, with outstanding profit margins flowing into the publishing giant’s ever expanding bank account. The proof is in the pudding, and the public has spoken, which means that those who disagree can look forward to more arguments.
This fall, Call of Duty: Black Ops II – the sequel to Treyarch’s hit 2010 release – is the most talked-about interactive experience out there. Countless friends lists are full of people playing competitive multiplayer with their chums, and the game’s forums are lighting up faster than blinking Christmas lights.

A new web documentary analysing the look of James Bond has been released to coincide with the Designing 007 exhibition in London. It is well worth watching as costume designer Lindy Hemming, a veteran of five Bond films, discusses her approach for both Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig; essentially that Brosnan’s suits were deliberately ‘European’ and Craig’s were intended to ‘pull him in’.
There are further notes from David Mason (Anthony Sinclair tailors) and Ritchie Charlton (Douglas Hayward tailors) as to why they believe Bond is still such a sartorial icon. Anthony Sinclair have recently undertaken remaking Sean Connery’s midnight tuxedo with turnback cuffs from Dr. No (1962) to display at the exhibition. You can read more about their progress Here.
Designing 007: Fifty Years of Bond Style runs from 6th July to 5th September.

Many fans of the first-person shooter genre have become jaded by the annual Call of Duty releases. Each new entry can easily be viewed as a simple way for publishers and companies to cash in on the success of the mega popularity the franchise has developed. While Black Ops 2 is certainly bringing a familiar feeling to the series, it’s doing a great job of adding in some great new features.

As my friend Pam Grossman put it, "Yes, universe, I know. I know too well that time passes and we are all going to die, sooner or hopefully later. I also know that cancer sucks. You do not need to drive these points home by killing off musicians I love every other day." This was prompted by the passing of Robin Gibb just after we lost Donna Summer and several other greats. Meanwhile, my friend Davie Kaufman, the biggest Flying Burrito Brothers fan I know, was disappointed that I hadn't yet marked the passing of Chris Ethridge, an original member of the Burritos, also taken from us by cancer.
Chris Ethridge was born in Mississippi in 1947 and moved to California when he was 17. In 1967 he joined Gram Parsons in the International Submarine Band in time to play bass on the group's only LP, Safe at Home. Though its release was delayed,...
