How To Survive A Plague (Documentary Trailer)
I can already tell this is going to be good!
Directed by David France, “How to Survive a Plague” is a stirring documentary that captures the battle against AIDS. Told in the words of a fierce and determined band of activists, the documentary acts as an emotional we-were-there video, detailing the struggles of a staunch few who took on legislators and law makers to take on the resilient, notorious virus. – Soulculture.co.uk
RZA Directs and Stars In ‘The Man With The Iron Fists’ (Movie Trailer)
‘Quentin Tarantino presents “The Man With The Iron Fists,” an action-adventure inspired by kung-fu classics as interpreted by his longtime collaborators RZA [of Hip-Hop’s Wu-Tang Clan] and Eli Roth. Making his debut as a big-screen director, co-writer and leading man, RZA – alongside an exciting international cast led by Russell Crowe and Lucy Liu – tells the epic story of warriors, assassins and a lone outsider hero who all descend on one fabled village in China for a winner-takes-all battle for a fortune in gold.’ – Official Webiste
Question: Is that pro wrestler Dave Batista from WWE in the trailer, too? So that’s where he went!
How To Make Money Selling Drugs (Film Trailer)
This is CRAZY! This documentary makes a BOLD (and most might say indisputable) declaration: Today’s illegal drug trade is the only industry sector that is consistently hiring! Add that to your next discussion about the economy. Whew! All kinds of celebs (including 50 Cent and Eminem) make appearances in this look at the business of drug-selling. Co-produced by Adrian Grenier (b.k.a. Vinny Chase from the HBO series “Entourage”), this film is guaranteed to be HOT…hotly debated, hotly protested…whatever! But it WILL be the hot ticket!
