Blu-ray Review: Death Race 2- Unrated


Viewers who were entertained by the violence, weapons, and not-too-heavy plotline of Paul W.S. Anderson’s Death Race will be pleasantly surprised (and probably even more entertained) by the its recently-released prequel, Roel Reine’s Death Race 2. Replacing Jason Statham as the protagonist is Luke Goss (One Night With The King, Hellboy II: The Golden Army), playing Carl “Luke” Lucas, who is serving a life sentence for the unintentional shooting of a cop during a foiled bank robbery.

Episode Highlights

Blu-ray Review: Twelve

 

Based on the book of the same name written by the 17-year old (at the time) Nick McDonell, Twelve offers a fast paced journey through a week in the life of a young drug dealer. “White Mike” has never done any drug or used alcohol to distract him from the reality of his situation.  His mother is dead from cancer, he has fantastic childhood friends who have been there every step of the way, his family is well-respected in the community…and he’s dropped out of school to become a successful drug dealer to spoiled rich kids in the Upper East Side.  Kiefer Sutherland (24) narrates this seedy tale of when the privileged life meets the underbelly of society and how mutually damaging it can be.

Blu-ray Review: Wall Street – Money Never Sleeps

In 1986, the economy was strong. It was the “Me” Decade, and Wall Street was thriving. The brokerage firms of Wall Street had just gone through the insider trading scandals just a few years before, and confidence of the market had been shaken just a bit. The time was ripe to make a movie about Wall Street, and the excesses of those who worked there.  That year, Oliver Stone released the movie Wall Street, where he villainizes the corporate raiders of the film and the greed-filled society where everyone lived in a way that actually glamorized them, and created the current markets and the people who run them. In 2010, twenty-three years later Oliver Stone decided to revisit that world, and bring along one of the characters of the original film, Gordon Gekko, the Villain that everyone seemed to love, and wanted to imitate. In the sequel, Stone treads the waters of the market a couple of years back, during the recent financial collapse.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps follows the stories of both Gordon Gekko as he navigates the current economic market, and Jake Moore in his current life as a stockbroker, and his relationship with Winnie (Gordon’s daughter).

Now you can own Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps on Blu-ray!
