There’s only a couple DVDs coming out this week, so I hope you’ve got some old ones stashed away to get you through. The DVDs releasing this week are “Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay” and “Never Back Down”.
“Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay”
Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
In this sequel to the original, Harold and Kumar begin their travels to Amsterdam the same way everyone would - in the airport. After an encounter with airport security, the boys to get on the flight only to find that they’ve been mistaken for terrorists. They get arrested and sent to Guantanamo where they’re interrogated by Rob Corddry. Realizing their fate of wasting away in a terrorist prison with no hope of trial or phone call, Harold and Kumar plot their escape.
Poking fun at stereotypes and the judgments people make about one another everyday, Harold and Kumar is not only a funny movie to spend a couple hours on, but also an eye-opener with a bit of political commentary mixed in. They even smoke out with President Bush.
Never Back Down
Have you been looking for a good fight movie? “Never Back Down” just might be it. Starring Djimon Hounsou and Sean Faris, it’s a movie about a kid’s introduction to mixed martial arts (MMA). Jake Tyler gets involved after he realizes the only way to beat his rival Ryan is to learn some MMA and kick his ass.
And here’s a funny piece of trivia about the film - it’s working title was “Get Some”. I’m glad they changed it.
