Popov will be tried as an adult and faces up to 25 years to life in prison for the murder charge, with the hate crime component increasing the minimum sentencing from 15 years to 20.

Remember Mark Pollard?
He used to be strategy director at MCann Sydney and headed to the Us to work at Saatchi & Saatchi. Nowadays he’s VP of strategy at agency Big Spaceship.
TEDx has just published this somewhat confronting video of his talk at TEDx Hackensack.
It turns out Pollard’s still awesome.
Makes you think that being a good strategist comes from living life, doesn’t it?

In this guest posting, Mark Pollard picks out his pet peeves in the jargon-tastic world of branded entertainment
I recently caught myself asking someone to explain the term “content idea”. I didn’t ask because I believe an idea is an idea is an idea (for how to explain an idea, read here). I didn’t ask because jargon deployed to control and patronise people frustrates me. I asked because “content idea”, to this global media agency, meant “not a TV script” and I was stunned that this was the level of conversation in 2012. Everything is content.
My time in advertising agencies never led to a fetish for television commercials. What happened around them – and whether we could subvert the role of the television commercial from an end-point to a something-else-point that sat as a small piece of a bigger story unveiled elsewhere – interested me most.

Leung Kar Yan was born 20 January 1949, also known as Bryan Leung but to his fans “Beardy”, is a Hong Kong actor and director and despite being one of the most well-known faces in Hong Kong action cinema, he had no kind of martial arts training, relying on his talents to imitate the moves shown to him by the action directors.
His first break was in 1969 when he headed to the famous Shaw Brothers studio where he appeared in several renowned period kung fu films, such as Avenging Eagle, Shaolin Martial Arts and Bloody Avengers but didn’t really get a break as a leading character. In 1978 Legendary actor/director Sammo Hung got in touch with him and cast him as a villian in his then upcoming movie Enter The Fat Dragon,(A movie where sammo takes on the part of his fallen hero Bruce Lee). Many actors were given their...

There will be crunch this fall. "Crunch" as in furiously intense action from Thailand. "Crunch" as in Tony Jaa, madder than ever. "Crunch" as in Ong Bak 2, directed by and starring Jaa, now set to enliven the autumn theatrical release schedule. And if you can't wait until October 23, well, you can sit at home and watch the movie on September 25, according to Wise Kwai's Thai Film Journal.
Magnolia Pictures acquired rights to the film for its genre label Magnet in February and it was showcased at South by Southwest the following month. As I wrote at the time, Ong Bak 2 "features numerous insanely awesome fight scenes. Jaa explodes in every direction, his arms and legs delivering lethal blows as he lays waste to a variety of opponents, employing all manner of martial arts, straight fighting skills, and amazing dexterity with a variety of bladed weapons." To be fair,...

Holy crap! Our good friend Mark Pollard over at Kung Fu Cinema just brought my attention to the trailer for Isaac Florentine’s Ninja starring the action maestro Scott Adkins and it had me screaming wildly like a school girl at a Jonas Brother concert or a Twilight event. In my previous posts on this film, I been singing the praise of Scott as the future leading Martial Arts star but talk is cheap, action speaks louder than words. Don’t take my word, just watch the trailer and judge for yourself. It easily blew away my already high expectation. If your reading this Isaac or Scott, I salute you sir. Eat your heart out, Rain.
A westerner named Casey, studying Ninjutsu in Japan, is asked by the Sensei to return to New York to protect the legendary Yoroi Bitsu, an armored chest that contains the weapons of the last Koga Ninja.

We’ve been tracking the progress of Xiong Xin Xin’s upcoming martial arts film Coweb for a good long time now, drawn in both by the fact that it is Xiong’s directorial debut after a long career as a performer and also because it marks the feature debut of star Jiang Luxia, a female finalist on Jackie Chan’s martial arts reality show The Disciple. I caught a good chunk of this in Berlin and let me tell you: Jiang is the real thing, this girl can fight. And now you can see exactly that for yourself since Mark Pollard over at Kung Fu Cinema has gone and dug up a brand new fight rule from the film. Check it out along with the trailer below the break!

Welcome to the first weekly edition of Asian Cinema Scene. I've written about Asian films under this moniker irregularly in the past; from now on, you can look forward to a fresh new post every Monday. (Unless something emerges from a river and snatches me in its tentacles.) Some weeks I'll concentrate on one film; today I'll roundup a few items of interest from the past week.
Sweet treat. The awesome Thai action flick Chocolate got midnight screenings Friday and Saturday in select markets, courtesy of Magnolia Pictures. It looks great on the big screen, especially with an appreciative audience, but if you missed it, don't despair; look for details on the DVD release in tomorrow's Spin-ematical.
Non-deals. Will recent higher-profile Asian flicks like Tony Jaa's Ong Bak 2 or John Woo's Red Cliff (with the two parts edited into one epic) ever sell to Us distributors? The...
