Tony Yayo Gets Down And Dirty In This Exclusive 'S.W.A.T. 2: Firefight' Clip

Posted 2/11/11 1:55 pm EST by in DVD, Video


Way back in 2003, an action thriller came out called "S.W.A.T.," starring Colin Farrell, Sam Jackson, Jeremy Renner, Michele Rodriguez and LL Cool J. The film was based on a 1970's television series about a group of elite cops taking on the bad guys, and the movie was more or less a fun ride. Now come March 1, we'll get "S.W.A.T.: Firefight," a DVD flick which also draws its inspiration from the TV show.

This time the stars are Gabriel "The Spirit" Macht, Robert "Terminator 2" Patrick, Kristanna "Terminator 3" Loken and, making his film debut, rap star Tony Yayo. In the scene below, a supermarket robbery gone bad results in Tony Yayo taking hostages as the S.W.A.T. team takes position. Check it out!

Go Behind The Scenes With The Alien Puppets Of 'The Abyss'

Posted 2/10/11 5:56 pm EST by in DVD


Back Into The Abyss"Avatar" director James Cameron is known for raising the special-effects bar with every project, and 1989's underwater adventure "The Abyss" only further cemented his reputation as a filmmaker with an eye for, well... eye candy. However, while "Avatar" set a new standard for computer-generated effects, "The Abyss" was created at a time when effects were a much more practical (read: non-CGI) affair.

Our pals over at io9 just posted a clip from "Back Into The Abyss," a new, two-disc DVD that explores the work of veteran FX artist Steve Johnson on the celebrated film, which he took on when he was, as he puts it, a "23-year-old-moron." It's a great piece of video that illustrates how much hard work, attention to detail, and amazing levels of creativity go into designing physical FX for actors to interact with (the closeup of the alien's lungs inflating around the 1:32 mark is especially cool).

Check out the clip over at io9, and you can pre-order "Back Into The Abyss" over at Eon Entertainment.

What do you think of the clip? Let us know in the comment section or on Twitter!

Luke Goss Gets Down And Dirty In This 'Death Race 2' Exclusive Clip

Posted 1/7/11 9:30 am EST by in DVD, Video


For what it was, 2008's "Death Race" was more or less a mindlessly entertaining jaunt that essentially followed its original Roger Corman-produced forefather. The story follows a wicked prison warden who forces his prisoners to race in a no-holds-barred, slightly-dystopian driving competition... to the death.

Well, now they're going back to the well with "Death Race 2," a home video release that stars Luke Goss in place of the predecessor's Jason Statham. The film comes out on DVD and Blu-ray on January 18, and we've been given an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the film's action and driving stunts. Check it out below.

Although it's called "Death Race 2," the film is technically a prequel to the 2008 film, exploring the origins of the first "Frankenstein" car driver Carl "Luke" Lucas (Goss), who fans will recall died in the opening moments of '08's "Death Race." Read More...

'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' DVD Exclusive: Oliver Stone & Cast On The Sequel Vs. The Original

Posted 12/21/10 10:07 am EST by in DVD, Video


The holiday season is rife with DVD and Blu-ray releases, chock full of special features, fancy packaging (a la "Sex and the City: The Complete Collection") and cutesy promo campaigns, like the one for Universal's "Despicable Me," -- which helped the movie gross $25 million in its first day of DVD release.

One of today's big releases is "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," and to celebrate, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment is offering free taxi rides in few of New York City's busiest areas (Wall Street, Times Square, Fifth Avenue, etc.) from Dec. 20-24. Look for one of 10 Wall Street-themed cars for your freebie! (Also, good luck wrestling others for a ride.) For those who don't live in the Big Apple, MTV News is happy to showcase a snippet from the DVD and Bluy-ray's special features: "A Conversation with Oliver Stone and the Cast."

In the clip, Stone, Josh Brolin, Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan are sitting in a room chatting about the film and, specifically, how it differs from the original. Read More...

Joe Carnahan Talks 'A-Team' DVD And Sequel, Says 'The Grey' Will Be 'Jaws-Like'

Posted 12/17/10 10:00 am EST by in DVD, Interviews, News


The A-Team on DVDWhen writer-director Joe Carnahan's adaptation of the beloved '80s TV show "The A-Team" hit theaters this summer, it seemed poised for blockbuster awesomeness. It had a built-in fanbase, a talented director and a spot-on cast -- Liam Neeson as Hannibal, Bradley Cooper (pictured) as Faceman, UFC fighter Quinton "Rampage" Jackson as B.A. and "District 9" star Sharlto Copley as "Howling Mad" Murdock. But for some reason it failed to find a blockbuster-sized auidence.

When Carnahan called up MTV to chat about the movie's release on DVD and Blu-ray (it hit stores December 14), he talked about why he thinks it didn't connect with audiences in theaters, dished on the Blu-ray's extended director's cut and revealed his thoughts on an "A-Team" sequel. He also spilled the beans on his "'Jaws'-like' next film "The Grey," which stars Liam Neeson as the leader of a group of oil drillers being hunted by wolves in the Arctic. Sounds chilling.

'The Town' DVD Exclusive Clips Are Wicked Awesome

Posted 12/16/10 4:11 pm EST by in DVD, Video


The Town DVD exclusive clipsBen Affleck has to be feeling pretty good these days. He started off the year earning raves at the Sundance Film Festival for his portrayal of a laid-off corporate exec forced to work a blue collar job installing drywall in "The Company Men" (in theaters January 21, 2011). Then this fall he earned even more accolades for co-writing, directing and starring in "The Town," a Boston-set heist drama in which he plays a bank robber trying to walk the straight and narrow.

And now, as "The Town" prepares to hit DVD and Blu-ray on December 17, Affleck is basking in the glow of the many award nominations and year-end top-10 list mentions his gritty little film is getting. In other words, you should really check out two exclusive clips from "The Town" DVD after the jump. Read More...

Jonah Hill Aims To Bring John C. Reilly Down In An Exclusive Clip From The 'Cyrus' DVD

Posted 12/15/10 5:02 pm EST by in DVD, Humor, Video


Nothing smacks of the holidays like some good old-fashioned family bonding -- sitting around the hearth, swapping stories, sipping egg nog, reminiscing about glorious times gone by... and plotting each others' demise. OK, so the "plotting each others' demise" part probably isn't true for most families, but it sure is for the dysfunctional little unit comprised of John C. Reilly, Marisa Tomei and Jonah Hill in the black comedy "Cyrus."

Hill plays the titular Cyrus, a manchild with a serious Oedipus complex and an even more serious hatred for any man that so much as looks at his beautiful mother Molly (Tomei). So when Molly begins dating goofball divorcee John (Reilly), things get a bit -- and by a bit we mean extremely -- weird, uncomfortable and potentially dangerous, as Cyrus attempts to sabotage the relationship at every turn. The above exclusive clip highlights the aforementioned dynamic beautifully, with Cyrus quite literally spelling out his devious intentions toward John.

"Cyrus" is available now on Blu-ray and DVD, and makes the perfect stocking stuffer for any of your family members... but especially the ones who hate you.

Are you excited for "Cyrus" on Blu-ray? Tell us in the comments!
