To celebrate the home entertainment release of Bushwick, available on DVD and Blu-ray 23rd October, we have a copy of the film on DVD up for grabs, courtesy of Kaleidoscope Entertainment!
It’s Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista versus an entire Texas battalion in New York City in this all-out action thriller from the makers of Cooties and Stake Land.
Action movie stars don’t come much bigger than Dave Bautista, Drax from the smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy series, and the villainous Hinx from the latest James Bond film Spectre. Here, front and centre as Stupe, a take no prisoners ex-Marine on the warpath against a Texas militia invading New York, Bushwick establishes Bautista – soon to be seen in Blade Runner 2049 – as an action hero on a par with Vin Diesel and The Rock. Brittany Snow, from the Pitch Perfect movies, excels as Lucy, who,...

Dave Batista, one of the most successful wrestlers of the last decade, is making great strides in Hollywood now, too.
After cutting his teeth in television and straight-to-dvd fare such as the Ja Rule film ‘The Wrong Side Of Town’ and the RZA-directed The Man With The Iron Fists, Batista hit it big with a celebrated role in Mavel’s The Guardians Of The Galaxy.
The role brought Batista, who returned to WWE for a brief run after a four year absence earlier this year, to the attention of Hollywood who were more than impressed with his performance in the film.
It was confirmed this week that Batista will play the role of bad guy Mr. Hinx in the upcoming James Bond film Spectre. Obviously this is a big deal because Bond is a huge franchise and there will be more eyes on Batista than ever before. But...

Marvel Studios is taking its biggest risk yet with Guardians of the Galaxy, banking on an obscure team of heroes to bridge the gap until the next Avengers flick roars into theaters. But there's an even larger obstacle standing in the way of box-office success: Dave Bautista.
To the uninitiated, Bautista is a six-time world champion in Vince McMahon's wrestling circus, and one of the most iconic squared-circle stars of the last decade. In Guardians, he plays intergalactic warrior Drax the Destroyer, which is unquestionably his biggest role to date.

When Dave Bautista first appeared onscreen in Guardians of the Galaxy, I was terrified. “Good hell,” I thought. “I have to interview him tomorrow.” Fortunately, he is a much gentler presence in person. Bautista plays Drax the Destroyer, one of the titular heroes. Huge, currently bearded, and until recently a professional wrestler by trade, he is eager to position himself as a serious actor, but in a way that is endearing, rather than annoying. He enjoys talking about Drax’s emotional journey. I spoke to him a couple weeks ago about Chris Pratt the movie star, crying on set, and what Marvel tells him about their upcoming projects.
You were probably asked this a hundred times, but you were a super successful professional wrestler. Why did you want to make the jump into movies?
Because I fell in love with acting and the WWE told me that I couldn’t make films.

When you have a star with the physical stature of Vin Diesel, you need to have him face off against someone bigger than he is or there are just no stakes. Well, for the next film in the Chronicles of Riddick franchise, the stakes have officially been raised to a brutish level.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Dave Bautista is set to star opposite Vin Diesel in the upcoming Chronicles of Riddick 2, David Twohy’s sequel to the 2004 science-fiction film. The WWE Superstar-turned actor is playing a character named Diaz after finishing a stint on RZA’s directorial debut Man With the Iron Fists opposite Russell Crowe.
Bautista, who is said to be in "9/10ths of the film," made his acting debut in 2006 in the independent film Relative Strangers. After starring in 2010’s Wrong Side of Town, he took on roles in the DVD-direct feature The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption...

Victor Webster checks out the team in Scorpion King 3.
A DVD premiere, the action-adventure film The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption is an entry in the ever-popular and seemingly immortal franchise that spawned The Mummy and The Scorpion King movies.
The film revolves around ancient Egypt’s Mathayus (Victor Webster, Burning Palms), who was last seen celebrating a triumphant rise to power in 2008’s The Scorpion King: Rise of the Warrior. Since then, things have taken a turn for the worse: Mathayus’ kingdom has fallen and he has lost his queen to plague. Now an assassin for hire, he must defend a kingdom from an evil tyrant (Billy Zane, Magic Man) and his ghost warriors to win back the power and glory he once knew, along with the hand of a slinky princess (Krystal Vee,...

Wrestlers and Dtv movies are made for each other (I've covered one such pairing in this column before). Most of these straight-to-dvd movies are just schlock action soap operas, and what is wrestling if not schlock action soap operas in front of a live studio audience? Even if they don't have much acting experience, wrestlers already have all the other necessary prereqs: lots of practice in front of the camera, the ability to do their own stunts, and built-in believability as ass kickers. Take a guy like Dave Bautista, former WWE Heavyweight Champion and the top-billed actor in "Wrong Side of Town." Do I want to see him in "Death of a Salesman?" No. Can he handle a story about two former Navy Seals trying to survive after a bounty is placed on their heads? Absolutely.
Now that I think about it, I kind of do want to see Bautista's "Death of a Salesman.

Marti Perkins (Alyson Michalka) is a pre-law student at Lancer College in the heart of Memphis, Tennessee. As soon as we see her we know: This Ain't No Ordinary College Kid, she's an Independent Free Spirit from The Wrong Side Of Town. How do we know this right off the bat? Easy. She rides a bike. She wears fingerless gloves. She has edge. But she's also responsible! We know this because she pays bills.

In stores this week we have a few cool movies that you might have overlooked during their theatrical runs, and a bunch of others that you're probably glad that you missed. Steven Soderbergh's The Informant! leads the list of major DVD releases, along with Richard Kelly's The Box and Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant starring John C. Reilly. Also out this week is the low budget horror remake Sorority Row, Norwegian Nazi zombie flick Dead Snow, acclaimed U.K. soccer drama The Damned United, and The September Issue, a documentary about infamous Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. Truthfully though, I think the main thing we've all really been saving our money for is Jersey Shore: Season 1 Uncensored. What will you be renting or buying this week? The Informant! [1] (+ Blu-ray [2]) The Box [3] (+ Blu-ray [4]) Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant [5] (+ Blu-ray [6]) Sorority Row [7] (+ Blu-ray [8]) Everybody's Fine [9] The Damned United [10] (+ Blu-ray...

The September Issue I don't read Vogue and know very little about the fashion world, but I still find it incredibly interesting and while The September Issue doesn't necessarily explore the fashion world to any great extent or even go all that deep into the yearly bible of the industry, it is still wildly fascinating and this DVD is filled with bonuses for those that want more than the 88 minutes R.J. Cutler's doc offers.
In fact it comes with an audio commentary with Cutler and a featurette of behind-the-scenes photos. But the big draw will be the group of deleted scenes on the first disc followed by over an hour of additional footage on the second disc. As the sticker says on the box art to the left, this thing has over 90 minutes of additional footage. Personally it...
