In case you think the story is a hoax, you can see above Tupac’s sex tape is real. TMZ has provided screenshots of the now legendary tape.

As we reported earlier, the tape was filmed in 1991 at a house party. During the video, Tupac receives oral sex from a woman as he raps in front of a group of people.

Now there is a bidding war by two porn companies to get hold of the tape. Adult website YouPorn has already made a $150,000 offer for the footage, according to its founder Corey Price.

Movie Review: Brothers

There’s one main reason to see Jim Sheridan’s latest drama “Brothers:” its talented cast. The adaptation of the award-winning Danish film about post-traumatic stress is gripping to say the least. However, its main fault is being predictable, but if audiences can get past that, they’re in for an emotional battle.

“Brothers” takes place in a small Minnesota military town and tells the story of Marine captain Sam Cahill (played by Tobey Maguire). Unlike many other war films, however, this one focuses on the family.

All is well in the Cahill household until Sam is called up for a return trip to Afghanistan, forcing him to leave behind his beautiful wife Grace (Natalie Portman) and two young daughters. Tension rises among the family when Sam’s younger brother Tommy (Jake Gyllenhaal) is released from prison. The two brothers share a rapport, unlike the rest of his family (mainly their father), who doesn’t understand the ex-con and deems Sam as the “good” son.

It’s no surprise that the family dynamics start to change as soon as Sam is pronounced dead in Afghanistan. Following the absence of his brother, Tommy finds purpose in taking care of Grace and his nieces — giving him a newfound sense of responsibility. However, Sam’s survival is never in question for the audience, no spoilers here — in fact, it’s in the trailer.

And it’s also no surprise that the Sam that returns from war — one who endured Taliban-inflicted torture and guilt while under captivity — is a changed man. Unfortunately, his relationship with every single family member takes a volatile turn and the old Sam slowly vanishes. As expected, the film really stresses post-traumatic stress disorder, which is what the story hinges on.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say this movie hinges on its cast as well. But there’s no denying their role in making “Brothers” worthwhile. The film’s three stars, Portman, Gyllenhaal and Maguire deliver one of their best performances to-date. Grace could not be a more fitting name for Portman’s character who exudes grace and integrity.

It’s also interesting that each of the three actors was cast in a relatively new and unexpected role. Gyllenhaal who’s no stranger to the friendly “guy next door” type of role, was cast as an ex-con. Portamn, who to many is still labeled as a member of “young Hollywood,” was cast as a mother of two. And finally, Spider-Man himself (a.k.a Maguire) is diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder in the film.

They’re all out of their elements and yet they undoubtedly pull the characters off with memorable performances. Also worth mentioning are the two young actresses Bailee Madison and Taylor Geare, who play Portman and Maguire’s daughters. The way they connect with the cast is so authentic, it makes it effortless for the audience to in turn connect with the family’s hardships.

It’s clear that Sheridan knows how to tell a story through family dynamics and specific detail. You add a great cast to the mix and there’s little room for error.
