Jackpots And Jail Time: The Greatest Casino Heists Of The 21st Century

For most of us, a casino is a place of entertainment, thrills, and a chance to win big. However, for others, it can pose a very different opportunity altogether. In the past, before the days of advanced technology, casinos were locations that carried more money than a bank, scattered across roulette tables and in the bellies of slot machines. It’s no wonder, therefore, that they’ve seen some of the most daring heists committed inside their ornate halls. Here are just a few of the best. Mr. Casino Richard Taylor’s crimes were unique because he chose to avoid the ‘big score’ and instead, opted to take a longer-term approach to theft from the casino. Taylor was so successful, in fact, that he ended up earning the moniker ‘Mr. Casino’. His targets of choice were the high-roller craps players. Richard masterminded a complex network of complicit dealers and players who allowed the smaller rule breaches to happen, apparently unnoticed to them. Richard’s

The ‘Legions’ Trailer Gives Off Serious ‘Evil Dead’ Vibes

FilmSharks has snagged the worldwide sales and rights to remake the Argentinian, English subtitled horror film Legions. And the first trailer has a serious Evil Dead vibe. The film follows a jailed man who must summon his powers of sorcery to escape and rescue his daughter from danger. Directed by Fabian Forte, this supernatural flick stars Germán De Silva (Wild Tales), Lorena Vega (Tigre), and Ezequiel Rodriguez (Soy Luna). Legions is a supernatural story that mixes different narrative lines and genres,” Director Fabian Forte says. “The story is fantastic and contains irony, humor and obviously the elements of the horror genre. These ingredients, plus strong and human characters, evil and imaginary beings (or perhaps not), the dizzying pace and the climates of tension create a product designed for a young audience, where adrenaline and humor are the support to tell a mystical and critical history of the modern world and the lack of beliefs.” The film is headed to the

In Alone Wolf, Jonathan (Richard de Klerk) lives sealed in his house. The walls covered in plastic and windows wrapped in paper. He does not suffer from agoraphobia, but a willful rejection of the outside world. His life changes when he meets a girl named Town (Cara Gee). Jonathan attempts to cut himself off from the world, but the world manages to draw him closer until he cannot help but let it. The film stars Richard de Klerk, Cara Gee, Paul Schackman, James Aaron Oliver, Lisa Romaine, Steve Lewis, Mason Hafer, and Angie Gregory.

“The Boys” Are Back In Town For Season 2 This September!

This September “The Boys” are back in town! Amazon’s ultra-violent superhero series returns for its second season after a huge first season back in 2019.

Phantom Of The Opera To Get Mini-Series

The Phantom of the Opera gets another remake…this one will be different though. The original story was written in 1909 by French author Gaston Leroux, but that story has been overtaken by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway play to the point where it has become the story that everyone knows. Anthony Horowitz wants to change that and promises that his re-imagined 6-part mini-series will be much more true to the original novel. I personally have always loved the story and absolutely immersed myself in everything to to with the Phantom when I was younger so this is amazing news! I am very excited to see what Horowitz will do with the freedom of a mini-series.

Fans of ‘The Last Of Us’ Calling For Sequel’s Remake

The biggest game in PlayStation’s powerhouse of exclusives, The Last of Us Part 2 is under fire from none other than its own fan base. Fans have gone from voicing their displeasure of the game in YouTube comments, Twitter, Reddit, and the dark web, and have now put it into action by making petitions aimed at SONY Entertainment demanding a complete remake of the sequel. Without spoiling The Last of Us Part 2, the main gripe many fans have with the game is the absence of Joel, the main protagonist from the first game. But looking through comments made by those signing the petition, as well as the comments from some review bombers, there’s more to their displeasure to the game than a missing character and unfortunately, it’s just flat out bigotry. Both critics and gamers agree that The Last of Us Part 2 has amazing art/graphics, fun gameplay, and great voice acting, when it comes to the story and
