7 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, March 24, 2017 By andrew Warren TV Media The Rock's new recipe: The Rock is cooking some- thing, but it isn't a ringside punch or a fast and furious car: it's hard work, tough love and justice all rolled into one. Dwayne Johnson, known as "The Rock" in his profession- al wrestling career, is the host of "Rock and a Hard Place," a new documentary premiering Monday, March 27, on HBO. He's living up to his stage name. In the doc, a group of young inmates from a Miami detention facility is given a choice between passing a six- month rehabilitation boot camp under his tutelage or serving out their lengthy pris- on sentences. It's the same mix of struc- ture, hard work and strict dis- cipline that Johnson credits with helping him out in his own youth. "I know this boot camp program, and I believe in it," he says to an assem- bled group of prisoners in a preview of the special. The prisoners who are part of the program need to prove that they're able to put their lives of crime behind them, or else they earn themselves a one- way ticket back to the slam- mer. Beyond the wrestling ring, from which he is semi-retired, Johnson's acting career has grown into a huge success for both him and the films in which he's starred. His first blockbuster role was that of the villainous Scorpion King in "The Mummy Returns" (2001), but that was only the beginning for the wrestler- turned-actor. That role was followed up with a long chain of hits, including the spinoff "The Scorpion King" (2002), "Walking Tall" (2004) and "Doom" (2005). He joined the ensemble cast of the The Fast and the Furious franchise with "Fast Five" (2011), which had the biggest opening weekend for the franchise up until that time. It's not all fast cars and murderous mummies, though; Johnson's also starred in plenty of family fare, including "Tooth Fairy" (2010) and last year's animat- ed hit "Moana." The Rock has been cooking up a successful acting career, but he also wants to help turn bad guys good. "Rock and a Hard Place" premieres Mon- day, March 27, on HBO. Some human castings: Marvel's "Inhumans" cast is growing. Anson Mount ("Hell on Wheels") and Serinda Swan ("Graceland") headline the cast of ABC's new super- hero show about a group of superhumans born with in- credible powers. In a block- buster deal with IMAX, the first two hours of "Inhumans" is set to premiere in 1,000 IMAX theaters over Labor Day weekend before moving to TV screens following a two- week theatrical run. Mount stars as Black Bolt, the king of the Inhumans, who possesses a voice that carries so much power that he cannot speak — even a whisper could level whole cities. Swan stars as Black Bolt's queen and most trusted adviser, Me- dusa, who has the ability to control her hair with the same dexterity that ordinary people control their hands. Ken Leung ("The Night Shift"), Isabelle Cornish ("Home and Away"), Eme Ik- wuakor ("Ink," 2009) and Mike Moh ("Empire") have been cast as the remaining members of Black Bolt's royal family of Inhumans, with El- len Woglom ("Californica- tion") and Sonya Balmores ("Beyond the Break") round- ing out the main cast. Black Bolt and the Inhu- mans, who were created by comic book legends Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, made their first appearance in Marvel comics in 1965. Until now, they've only had cameos in other su- perhero series, but come Sep- tember, this loved group of su- per-powerful superhumans will finally have a major fea- ture to call their own.

Although the CEO said: "With Amazon Prime, we could have gotten those Oscars last Tuesday." The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon President Trump gave his big address to Congress last night. But it was surprising: he didn't trash the media or brag about winning the election. It was the first time people playing a Trump drinking game ended up sober. Jimmy kimmel Live [The Oscars] went very well! We were chugging along, and then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it turned into a Maury Povich paternity test show. It was the weirdest TV finale since "Lost." As I'm sure you've at least heard, "La La Land" was simultaneously the biggest winner and loser of Oscar night. Late night With Seth Meyers President Trump said today that he is going to "save people" from Obamacare. Kinda like how that iceberg "rescued" the Titanic from having to go to New York. late laughs Eastern Travel 3 x 5 To Travel Is To Discover MULTI-DAY TOUR ONE DAY TOURS GAMING TOURS Mar 25 "Boston Free Day" ..............................................
