I have found a Never Back Down review from Variety, which specifically comments on Amber’s performance. On a general note the reviews for the film have been pretty critical so far - some examples of title lines for the reviews include “Never Back Down no knockout” (Jam! Showbiz), “Teen beatings never end in stupid Never Back Down” (Seattle Post Intelligencer) and “Never Back Down is weak, formulaic” (Huntington Herald Dispatch). See more reviews here. Obviously you should see it for yourself tomorrow and form your own opinion. ;)
Amber Heard, on the other hand, has to be seen to be believed. If there were an award for best coyly sexual biting of lower lip by an actress in a leading role, she would win it hands down. Heard plays Baja (yes!), the other side of the Jake-Ryan triangle, and isn’t done any favors by all the preposterous slow-mo entrances and babe-alicious posturing. There’s more than enough random flesh parading through Never Back Down that an actual performance by Heard (soon to be seen, and far more appreciated, in All the Boys Love Mandy Lane) would have been welcome. Never Back Down exists in a world of beautiful people, beautiful homes and much unoccupied money, where the rules of physics and physiology are on a serious vacation — the human body can’t do or withstand the things this movie claims it can, and one can only hope that pic’s probable success doesn’t trigger a dramatic rise in schoolyard body-slams, arm locks and chokeholds.

TeenHollywood.com has published a lengthy and very interesting interview with Amber Heard, which I’ve added in the library. Be sure to check out the full article here.
“I think it’s the education. I don’t think there are many people who will argue with you about the quality of the education but, other than that, I think it’s a very dangerous thing. School in America in general is conforming enough. We have a very, very strong tendency to fall into that conformity, very easily because it’s the easiest path. I think it’s dangerous to put a young girl in a Catholic school where they teach you to conform and dress the same and it effects your personal life after you leave that school. They’re telling you how to live your life, morality; what to believe, what not to believe and that is scary. It’s literally telling you ‘don’t think for yourself’.”

I was delighted to find Amber among the pages of the April issue of Teen Vogue (Camilla Belle on the cover). Even better it’s a brand new photo and article! Miss Heard looks gorgeous! I have added the two page scans, photoshoot picture and transcribed the article for the library. In it Amber talks about her beauty favorites.
There was a new still from Never Back Down in the Teen Vogue Article and also a small picture of Amber in Allure March 2008.
Amber may be a natural beauty on the outside, but she hopes to prove that there’s more to her than meets the eye, just as her favorite actresses - Hilary Swank and Cate Blanchett - have done. “I want to challenge the audience’s perception of me,” She says.

Cinema Blend has posted a wonderful new interview with Amber. Apparently our girl is shooting The Stepfather during the nights and promoting Never Back Down during the days! Talk about a hard worker! Check out the full article here and a couple of interesting quotes below.
“I think there’s a part when you sign your soul to the devil and start working in Los Angeles that you also sign away that you could be a human being in anyone’s eye. You’re like a robot!”
“It’s funny because I do get a bunch of these roles and as a young woman In Hollywood you tend to get these girlfriend easier than one could imagine. I get them every day and I won’t take a bad film, one that doesn’t make me feel good when I fall asleep at night. But that being said, you do look at a character and sometimes it could never be anything more than 2 dimensional but in this case I play Baja Miller. I play a young girl in high school. There was a certain amount of truth Chris Hauty put into the subtext and back-story that made it easy to build a 3-d character out of the script.”
“Brad Renfro was an amazing person and a very talented artist. One has a lot of respect for those qualities that are kind of rare. The things that tormented him and caused his passing exist everywhere in reality. You go down to the street here in Beverly Hills and there’s somebody affected in the same way, by substance or escapism. It was sad though because he was an artist and he put himself in the public eye and he’s going to be scrutinized. People are going to look at him and say that the industry did this or the drugs or whatever and young people are this way. It’s not just young people. It’s not old people, it’s not only actors. It’s everybody. Everybody knows somebody with a problem.”

Amber did indeed attend the premiere of Never Back Down last night, she looked a-m-a-z-i-n-g in this gorgeous electric pink dress with her hair in a pretty up do!
We’re currently in the process of moving our gallery and video archives to a new and much faster server so we’re unable to post pictures at the moment. The move should not be much longer, but here is a preview, none the less! Check back later this week because there will be tons more pictures of this event (as well as some other updates).
