House Shoes". In the early nineties Gangsta Rap fell
into obscurity after several run ins with the law, shady
business management, failed comeback attempts and countless
child custody cases. But now, they're back. They've just
inked a deal with gangster rap powerhouse Innersounds Records
and are the subject of a documentary film entitled Gangsta
Rap: The Glockumentary. Be sure to view this hilarious music
video from the film:

(Pamela Anderson and Denise Richards) in the wrong place at
the right time. After accidentally witnessing a mob hit, the
gals are mistaken for assassins by two mafia men working for
"The Godfather." Thinking the dim-witted duo are
the world's best killers-for hire, the mobsters offer them
a huge payout to "take out" Mr. Wong, the head of
the Chinese mafia. The clueless cuties happily accept the
assignment, embarking on a wild adventure that takes them
from Niagara Falls to Las Vegas, all while trying to dodge
assorted federal agents, mafia and killers.
► Storm

bad turn when a severe storm strands a married couple on a
remote island. They stumble upon what appears to be a vacant
house only to learn that the sadistic inhabitants are indeed

Sont of Stone - During 20 years in exile, Turok has
become a powerful and feared warrior. He now returns home

vengeance, Turok must journey to the Lost Land, a savage place
forgotten by time, where primeval beasts hunt all who enter.
Turok will face his greatest battle as he fights man-eating
dinosaurs, merciless cave dwellers, and the darkness inside
himself to take revenge on his sworn enemy. In this epic journey,
Turok will find his destiny. In this Lost Land... A legend
is born. |

► Academy Award winners Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon,
and Academy Award-nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, star in the high-stakes,
riveting thriller Rendition,
arriving on DVD from New Line Home Entertainment.
► The
Perfect Witness - Mickey (Wes Bentley) is about to
get his big break as an amateur filmmaker . . . from a serial
killer who turns him and his camera into THE PERFECT WITNESS.
This action-packed psychological thriller takes you into the
twisted depths of brutality at its worst. A struggling young
filmmaker, Mickey, accidentally stumbles upon a notorious
serial killer, James Lemac (Mark
Borkowski), and catches one of his murders on film.
Believing he can capture the ultimate reality show, Mickey
contacts Lemac and sets a face to face to make the serial
killer simple offer; Lemac is to be the subject of his new
documentary or the grisly murder footage goes straight to
the cops. Lemac gives in to the blackmail. What follows is
an exhausting and psychological game of cat and mouse between
filmmaker and subject. As the lines of blackmail continually
shift back and forth, Mickey must ultimately confront the
darkest side of not only the killer's nature, but his own.
► Nightmare
Detective - Ahypnotic narrative that explores terror
too sinister and imagery too shocking for the waking world.
Seeking to uncover the truth behind a series of apparent suicides,
a young detective investigates a mysterious man who invades
his victims’ dreams, convincing them to kill themselves in real
life. But when no one believes the terrible truth, the young
detective pursues the killer into the dreams themselves, facing
her own darkest fears. Starring Ryuhei Matsuda (9 Souls), Shinya
Tsukamoto (Ichi the Killer) and pop singer Hitomi, Nightmare
Detective is directed by Tsukamoto (Tetsuo, Hiroku the Goblin).
► Kurt Cobain
About A Son - In the film, Kurt Cobain recounts his
own life - from his childhood and adolescence to his days of
musical discovery and later dealings with explosive fame - and
offers often piercing insights into his life, music, and times.
The conversations featured in the film have never before been
made public and reveal a highly personal portrait of an artist
much discussed but not particularly well understood.
