Second release from Diamond which was published during this night is a dvdrip of comedy Aquamarine. Although you can see some quite cute girls in the movie, the plot, camera and almost everything is very bad - IMDB rated this movie as 83rd worst of the history, and that’s a solid proof. Anyway, it may be little funny for someone, so get it if you want…

The beautiful, blue-haired, 18-year-old mermaid swam away from home just before her arranged marriage, in search of real love. If she can prove to her father that love is not a myth, he’ll let her out of the underwater wedding, but he’s only giving her three days. Aqua enlists the help of Claire and Hailey, who are self-styled relationship experts — educated from the pages of magazines that they read and quote daily.

There’s another nice release of almost unknown, but very good movie floating on the internet. Criminal drama Tsotsi (by the way awarded by Oscar) is movie filmed in british and south african coproduction and the story is very riveting. As the plot says, it has similar topic as another georgious movie, City of God: “Six days in the violent life of a young Johannesburg gang leader”. I watched City of God few years ago and I was at least shocked by the events in this movie, which were based on real circumstances. Tsotsi should be also very thrilling experience, so I can really recommend it to everyone who wants to know, how’s the world cruel in some other parts of the Earth…

The flim centres on the life of a young Johannesburg small time gang leader named Tsotsi – a colloquial term roughly meaning “thug” in Tsotsitaal “thug lingo”, the township penatois in which the movie is filmed. As a child he ran away from home due to an abusive father and sick mother and has grown up in the slums of Soweto. Tsotsi is set on the road to redemption when he hijacks a car one night, only to later find a baby on the back seat. He makes the decision to care for the baby himself, causing his gangster exterior to slowly fade away as he learns about empathy and compassion.

Genre: Crime / Drama
IMDB rating: 7.5/10 (1,941 votes)

There’s new release of interesting documentary Crackheads Gone Wild, released by not very famous group BELiEVERS. Because it’s very short movie, selling as DVD on Amazon, but not with some listing at IMDB, the release is only 1 CD and the picture quality is pretty good because of a nice bitrate…

Dubbed the most controversial drug abuse film in the United States in the past 10 years, this 55 minute documentary film while replete with humorous anecdotes is one of the most serious and disturbing assessments of the rampant use of this inexpensive and highly addicting drug. CRACKHEADS GONE WILD is a new and contemporary version of Scared Straight an earlier documentary on juvenile crime and the negative road to prison that youth can expect with continued criminal involvement. The documentary shows the destructive nature of Crack Cocaine through the eyes of actual users who have experienced the devastation of addiction.

This night was pretty rich if we look at new movie releases. Anyway, I was enjoying the Friday in some local pub with friends so I was unable to provide you with some really fresh info, but it’s not that late too to. First release is a dvdrip of basketball drama Glory Road. Guys from DiAMOND did a 2 CD version with nice AC3 sound and high bitrate, so you should really enjoy all these action scenes in the movie. A rarfix was also released, if you are experiencing some problems with unpacking…
40 years ago, Don Haskins went on the recruiting trail to find the best talent in the land, black or white. 7 blacks and 5 whites made up the legendary 1965-66 Texas Western Miners.

A release group Alliance published dvdrip of almost unknown western during this night. The movie called “Down the Valley” seems like the return to old good cowboy’s & dust actions, and with IMDB rating at 7.1 of 10 may be quite a good choice.

Down in the Valley Wow Edward Norton rocks the screen again playing a cowboy with a very layered and subtle performance. It is beautifully shot and the four main characters are original and yet painfully familiar in their alienation, anger, and despair. The character played by Rory Culkin, “Twig”, says very little throughout the film and yet he conveys a sense of yearning and loneliness almost too painful to bare. But even he undergoes an unexpected transformation by the end of the film. The lead is a beautiful creature on the screen. Her relationship with the Cowboy seemed unlikely at first and then became completely believable, especially in the bathtub scene. If you love independent you really will enjoy the artistic quality of this film. There are also several scenes that border on surrealism. This film will leave you thinking and wondering about your life, isn’t that what we always would hope for after leaving the movies.

Genre: Drama / Romance / Western

Running Scared seems like quite a good thriller. It reached a decent rating at IMDB even without bigger propagation, well-known actors or some advertising campaign. This release is on 2 CDs, because the movie has 113 minutes, which wouldn’t fit on 1 CD keeping the good quality. As the bonus of bigger files, you can enjoy nice 5.1 sound and high bitrate…

Joey Gazelle (Paul Walker) is a low level mob flunkie whose role is to dispose of “hot� guns from mob killings. We soon find out that Joey has been hiding these guns in the drywall of his basement, instead of tossing them in the river. When Joey’s 10 year-old son (Alex Neuberger) and his best friend, Oleg (Cameron Bright), witness Joey hiding some guns from a botched drug deal, Oleg steals one of the guns — a snub-nosed .38 (used to kill a dirty cop) — and shoots his abusive stepfather (Karel Roden) with it. Things would be bad enough if the stepfather didn’t happen to be the nephew of a psychotic Russian mob boss (John Noble)… who happens to be in business with Joey’s crew on a gasoline scam. But now Joey’s also got the surviving dirty cop (Chazz Palminteri) from the botched drug deal on his case… and that hot .38 out there on the street, changing hands in an underworld of freaks, pimps, hookers and pedophiles. As well as Oleg, who can connect Joey to the gun. And even if Joey can make it through the night, he’s still got to answer to his wife (Vera Farmiga)…
