December 25:happy holidays to Bruce fans around the world.

For your entertainment, we are reprising several of our Xmas Specials from years past.

Holiday Songs Bruce Style

Happy Holidays 2006 (12 Bruce Christmas Greetings) and links to Holidays Past


The 12 Days of Christmas Bruce Style (satire of the old Christmas song--substituting Bruce-related "gifts'--this is Ariel's favorite)

NEWS: A bit of news: The film Burce finished recently in Bulgaria is now in post-production and the title has been changed to "Prowl." Probably translates better than "Dead Ahead," which is a great play on words in English but may not work in other languages.


December 1: This holiday season begins with a beautiful calendar created by Sofia with a graphic from CMoon. It's even more beautiful than the November birthday one. It certaily does have that "magic" touch.

On a less festive note, we found an article on Yahoo a while back, noting that Osama bin Laden was an "austere father who banned toys...at home"--this pretty much creeped us out, recalling Charles Rane's comment in Passenger 57. His father wouldn't allow toys either and look how he turned out...OK, we know P57 was only fiction, but our resident psychologist (Ariel) notes that this is easily how an authoritarian personality begins...but enough of politics.  Pardon us for mentioning it but the parallel was just too striking not to bring up.

November 7: It's Israfel's birthday
and we have a nice present for her: News about one of Bruce's new movies: Dance Star (the musical!) has now completed post-production and is scheduled for official release in the U.K. on Feb. 9, 2010; Berlin in Feb. at the Berlin Film Market; and USA on Mar. 7 (limited). We're really looking forward to this one! We want to see if he sings in this one like he did in Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire.


November 3: It's Bruce's Birthday Month and we have a calendar that celebrates it in style! Sofia brought out all the fireworks for this occasion. The photo she used was one of the ones taken in September by our new Bulgarian friend, Svetlio.

AND here's another birthday treat: We found a clever review of Passenger 57 by Marcus Trower, writing for Empire magazine. Here's an excerpt:

"…Payne a brilliantly disconcerting madman. With his flowing blond Jesus locks, armour-piercing stare and casual sadism, he makes Hannibal Lecter look like a social worker - and like Sir Anthony Hopkins' serial killer, part of the man's menace is in the apparent contradiction between his articulate, well-spoken English and his off-hand brutality."

 For the entire review, click here.




October 30: As promised, we have a Halloween treat for you. We've got a delightfully silly animation for you: "The Monster Mash," starring Bruce as all the monsters, Israfel as the Doctor, and Ariel as Bride of Frankenstein. This one is best viewed in Explorer.

Those who haven't seen our previous Halloween presentations can click here for lots of spooky videos and special effects.

PLUS--and this part isn't the least bit scary--we have two more pics of Bruce taken on September 22. These are courtesy of Svetlio, pictured above in the two lower photos. We LOVE the one on the right!



October 25:   Have we got a hot news tip for you!! We have pics of Bruce from last month! See above! He just finished a new movie with the working title "Dead Ahead."  The film is a Nu Image production filmed in Sofia Bulgaria. It's a horror film with zombies. According to Tzvetislav,
pictured above with Bruce, the film also stars Scott Adkins, who is a martial arts star, and Roger Cross. Director is Mike Hurst; Bruce plays WinstonThat's all we know so far.  Stay tuned for more info as we find it ...

Thanks to our super-sleuth Devicia, who found the photos on MySpace, and thanks to
Tzvetislav for permission to use his photos. Click here for the link to more photos of more actors. He works in the movie industry so gets his pic taken with lots of kool people.

We have one more Halloween surprise coming later this week so do drop in again...

October 2: Howl are you? (bad pun intended)  Yes, that's right--it's our favorite month of the year--Halloween time!  So right for Bruce's characters. Our Calendar Queen Sofia is back in action with an eerie-kool calendar that embodies the spirit of this "holiday" time perfectly.  We'll be back later in the month with more Halloween treats...or tricks.

August 31: 
It's back-to-school time so we thought we would bring you an after-school special--a month (calendar-wise) with your favorite professor--Marshal Kane--if you dare...be careful, he'll r-i-i-p your heart out...

Meanwhile, after a hard day at school or work, how about a little quickie...with some Bruce movie trailers.  If you haven't already seen them, go to the Bruce page on the IMDb and click away.  They claim 13 videos but they lie. A couple have nothing to do with Bruce but the here's the ones to check out: "All That Glitters" (it's the whole Dragnet episode but Bruce doesn't appear till the last 10 minutes), The Apocalypse (half of the trailer!), Dungeons and Dragons I (6 scenes), Passenger 57, and brief scenes in Switch and Cleopatra.  Forget the rest and replay The Apocalypse trailer...Hallelujah, All Hail the Temple of the God Domitian...


August 8: LATEST NEWS ON BRUCE MOVIES...The post-production of Carmen's Kiss was completed in July but a release date has not been announced. Dance Star is in post-production and Greenway is announcing a release date of Dec. 23, 2009. Click here for the film web site. Disturbance is in post-production and is scheduled to be released in 2010. These dates may change. But rest assured, as soon as a DVD is available in the UK, we will bring you photos and info on how to get the DVD.

August 5:  OK, it's a bit late but worth the wait...Our August calendar features one of our favorite Bruce pics in striking black, gray and white...a cooldown for the hot, hot  summer.

AND we have a new video treat from our Brazilian fan Laila.  It's called "Bruce Payne Is Loved"  We can agree with that!!  You can check it out by clicking below.

July 3: This month's calendar is brought to you by Israfel. In honor of the July summer sun, we have chosen Bruce as the desert rat Dogger from Solar Babies.  He's dirty, scrungy, smelly but we still think he's cute...

In a review of a video game at  Blend Games, William Usher compared the voice-actor for the game, David Sobolov, to Bruce and Christopher Lee:  "
In other words, David is to voice-acting what Christopher Lee (or Bruce Payne) is to evil-character movie-acting. Yeah, he’s that good."  Now there's a man with taste and sense!  We think Bruce is every bit as good as Lee at these kinds of roles and a whole lot better looking too.


June 5:
Calendar Queen Sofia has been a bit under the weather so we are late with the June Calendar but here it is. It's got one of CMoon's kool kollages.

May 2:   FIVE YEARS! Bruce's Angels is now celebrating our FIFTH ANNIVERSARY! How the time has flow!
  And what a difference 5 years have made. From a few pitiful photos that first month to a web site full of video clips, photo stories, calendars, commentaries, artwork and many other goodies, to say nothing of thousands of photos. We hope Bruce fans have enjoyed what all of us here at Bruce's Angels have created. We thank you for visiting us.  Ariel and Israfel also want to extend their special thanks to our angel colleagues who have helped us so much--CMoon, Sofia, Steffi, Merlin, Qamiel and Devecia. 

Though the pace has slowed down here, be assured that we will continue to bring you Bruce news and, when available, photos and clips from new Bruce films. From time to time, we will also bring you other special features.


Meanwhile check out the new May calendar from Sofia. This month's theme is Cassius from Cleopatra, with thanks to Israfel's gorgeous collage.  And what a delicious theme that is.  Bruce looks great in that Roman armor and haircut.  The real Cassius was either a hero or a villain, depending on what you think of Julius Caesar--tyrant or savior of the Republic?  Pardon us for being biased but we're favoring hero...

Also check the new Bruce video on YouTube from Brazilian fan Laila. It's called  Hymne a l'amour" ("Ode to Love") with music by Edith Piaf.

April 2: 
We're a day late with the April but don't let that "fool" you--any calendar from Sofia is worth waiting for.  Following our tradition of having comedies for the month of April, we're featuring the Keen Eddie episode, "Horse Heir," in which Bruce plays the droll bad guy Yellow.  The asthmatic hood with the inhaler has now becoming a "fixture" in film.  It's been used in Casino Royale (Bruce would have been much more menacing than that villain, who couldn't act either). It was also used on the TV show Burn Notice ( a kool show). But as far as we know, Bruce was the first, and naturally, we think, the funniest.

Wait, there's more...Our friend Matt at Direct to DVD Connoisseur has written a review of Paranoia 1.10. He liked it, just as we did, though he's still unhappy with Bruce's accent (which is, alas, not his wonderful English accent), But Matt did like Bruce's portrayal, so pay the site a visit and check out the other Bruce reviews if you missed them.

February 28: 
It's that Celtic time of year and our Calendar Queen Sofia has made a beautiful Celtic Calendar for March featuring our favorite Celt --Kell, Jacob Kell.  The graphic of Kell is by CMoon.

We're going to have to slow down our update schedule--we're running very low on new material--and we only want to do good updates. so we won't be updating every week from now on.   When there is news about Bruce projects, we'll let you know.  In the meantime, our schedule will be intermittent.




February 21:
We're all a-twitter... Israfel  has created a Twitter page for Bruce, using her favorite photo of him.
Twitter is a free Internet service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Click below to see what we said. Celebrities who have Twitter pages include William Shatner, Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore, and chief executive of Zappo, Tony Hsieh.

And speaking of Twitter, we're still all-a-twitter about the new MUSICAL Dance Star that Bruce is filming.  We got so excited about it when we announced it that we forgot that we do have audio clips of Bruce singing. You can check them out on our NEW All the Other Guys Audio/Visual Page. Look for these clips from Billy The Kid and the Green Baize Vampire: "I'm the One Who's Gonna Take You to the Top" and "White Lines, Black Cadillac." He has a strong tenor voice that's perfect for musicals.  We know Bruce is versatile and multi-talented. Now more people will see it too!

And -- lest we forget-- Bruce also sings in Absolute Beginners. Click below to hear him belt out "Goodness gracious, great balls of fire"
like Jerry Lee Lewis and on a burning piano.  What a scene!

February 14:
   Valentine's Day once again. Continuing this year's theme of bittersweet love but just a little darker...We have a NEW film clip from Ripper: Letter From Hell...with Bruce and A.J. Cook in a sensuous scene that will send shivers up and down your spine. You can find it on our Valentine 2009 page.

And speaking of Ripper, IngeniousKat has posted clips
on You Tube from Ripper recently. Lots of scenes of Bruce and does he look h-o-t, h-o-t, h-o-t in this film..

February 7: 
It's the 'sweetheart" month and we have a sweetheart for you--Bruce as Peter Howles from Oxford Blues.  He's a real cutie pie in this comedy from 1984.  See the 5 audio/video clips from this film on our NEW Audio/Video Funny Guys page. Come back next week for a Valentine surprise...

February 1:
  Ah, February...the month of romance and love...But at Bruce's Angels, that never means schmaltz and gooey sentimentality.  Sometimes it means downright scary "Valentine" images (see previous years page icon below). But we decided not to do the edgy stuff this year.  Well, at least not for the calendar...Instead we bring you bittersweet romanticism with CMoon's heartbreakingly beautiful graphic of Bruce from Necromonicon made into a stunning calendar by our ever-so-talented Calendar Queen Sofia.  The poem, which is readable if you print out the calendar, is a bittersweet tribute to lost love (a theme in Necronomicon)  We'll have some other "Valentine" surprises for fans later in the month. Maybe they won't be so sweet...

January 29:
WOW, HOT OFF THE "PRESS" (the IMDb, that is)...Just announced today--Bruce is filming a new movie called Dance Star and it's a musical!  Is that kool or what?!  We've heard his singing voice in Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire and it's very good.  What a treat this will be! The film is from Greenway, the same people who are doing Bruce's other movie Disturbance (listed as "filming").  We are REALLY looking forward to all these new movies because we've almost run out of material from his past movies.  (After all, we've been doing this for almost 5 years).  We do have a few more audio clips in the pipeline though...and maybe later, if we're able to pull it off technologically, a clip of Bruce singing in BTKATGBV.

  BTW if you haven't seen our Billy the Kid page, here it is.


January 24:
   The Empire of Bruce Photo Galleries expands...We have now placed photos on Friendster. Click on the gorgeous new logo right here.  And next week it'll be time for a new calendar and is it beautiful!  Very different from last year's February calendar, very romantic if you can believe it...



January 17: More Bad Guys...
and do we love them!  More Savak to be precise. Six more audio/video clips from One Man's Justice have been added to the Bad Guys page.  We are also in the process of revising our original audio/visual page.  We've rearranged all the clips into our 4 categories: Bad Guys, Good Guys, Funny Guys, and All the Other Guys.  Plus we've added a new rotating pic to jazz up the page.   Soon all the clips will move to their respective pages, making it easier to find what you're looking for (and making the page take less time to load).  We'll also be working our way through the rest of the films that we don't have clips from.

Speaking of Savak,,,and we do like to do so...that long, blond hair, oh my...we've put together some audio/visual clips from One Man's Justice aka One Tough Bastard.  Bruce is a really bad guy in this one but doesn't he look g-o-o-o-d. You can check out these yummy audio clips on our BRAND NEW BAD GUYS AUDIO CLIPS PAGE!  All the clips are now in alphabetical order to make them easier to find. We'll have new pages for the Good Guys, the Funny Guys, and All the Other Guys soon.

For those of you who haven't seen The Apocalypse...and for those who have...there's a trailer for it on Bruce's page on the IMDb.  By a fortunate stroke of fate, Bruce as Domitian nearly dominates the trailer.  Domitian proclaimed himself a god and, after seeing Bruce as Domitian, we are tempted to join that temple!  While you're at it, check out the Bruce Dragnet episode "All That Glitters" in its entirety on Bruce's IMDb page.  We announced that last year but some of you may have missed it.
