John Travolta movie in France called off after arson attacks John Travolta brings goal to scandalous Paris suburb Jonathan Rhys Meyers arrested after conflict at Paris airfield BBC iPlayer choices - Friday twenty-one Aug BBC duration show, The Tudors, is historically inaccurate, heading historian says

Jonathan Rhys Meyers, seeking some-more than ever similar to a vicious mannequin, pairs up with a goateed, skinheaded, earring-sporting John Travolta, seeking some-more than ever similar to a butch black from New Yorks West Village. Somehow, they are clandestine comprehension operatives in Paris: Meyers is sanctimonious to be an help to the US ambassador, and Travolta… well, if George Michael were a spy, this would be his wardrobe. They contingency foil terrorists who have their own flattering peculiar thought of staying underneath the radio detector - their cover appears to be traffic cocaine. However indeterminate the progressing drive-in theatre of Pierre Morel (District 13, Taken), they flashed a little robust style, but all here is pumped up, lousily shot and malevolently brutish. Im all for rabble pleasure, but the tough to come by when the companys so obnoxious.
