The Experiment in September

Source: MovieWeb

If you didn't get enough Adrian Brody this last weekend in Predators, come September 21st you will get a second chance.

The Experiment is based off of a 2001 German film by the same name (Das Experiment in case you were wondering.) which is an interesting psychological thriller very loosely based off a real Stanford experiment. With the promise of $1,000 a day 24 men sign up for a social experiment. Said experiment breaks the men into two groups; prisoners (led by Adrian Brody) and guards (with Forrest Whitaker carrying the big nightstick) in what is meant to be a realistic prison simulation. But as the old adage goes; power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and before you know it the relationship between the captives and the guards goes from tense to ... well, prison rules.

Although The Experiment boasts two Academy Award winning actors it is slated for a direct to DVD/Blu-ray release September 21st. No extras have been announced as of yet, but stay posted!

To sate your curiosity, here is a trailer for The Experiment:

One of the greatest team-ups in super hero history is reunited once again in this newest DC Comics animated adventure. DC has been pumping out some pretty decent PG-13 animated flicks the past few years (See Green Lantern: First Flight and Justice League: The New Frontier) and this newest movie, due out on September 28th, should continue that trend.

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse sees the Man of Steel (voiced by Tim Daly) and The Dark Knight (Voiced, of course, by Kevin Conroy) join forces when a mysterious ship crash lands in Gotham harbor. It's lone passenger, Kara (voiced by Summer Glau), may just be another survivor of the lost planet of Krypton. But before Superman and Batman can get to her the omnipotent Darkseid manages to use Kara's Kryptonian strength for his own malignant purposes. Two of the greatest heroes in comic book history may not be enough to take down a villainous god with an invincible slave.

Again, on September 28th Superman/Batman: Apocalypse will be released as a simple no extras DVD, and a special features filled 2-Disc Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray. The Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray also include a 10-minute Green Arrow animated adventure.

Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray Extras Include:

• DC Showcase: Green Arrow (10 min)

• Mister Miracle - This featurette focuses on the greatest escape artist the universe has ever known

Caught in the Crossfire in July

Source: Beyond Hollywood

No it isn't a bio-pic about the late but great Stevie Ray Vaughan but it still might be worth your time.

There is something to be said for direct to DVD action movies. Some men, like Steven Seagal, just make it worth your time. And then there is something to be said about rappers turned action stars, sometimes it works but only if Seagal is also in the flick (See Exit Wounds).

Well all of that is null and void because Curtis "50 Cent' Jackson is teaming up with the multi-talented Chris Klein in the direct to DVD release of Caught in the Crossfire. This "hardcore urban gangster flick" follows a street hardened dick (Detective! It means detective!) played by Klein who is trying to wade through all of the lies and corruption of his own police department while investigating some gang slayings. 50 Cent is also there to represent the aforementioned "hardcore" element.

Get Caught in the Crossfire on DVD and Blu-ray July 13th. So far the announced extras only include outtakes; which is kind of slim, but with Klein providing the material I bet they are gold!

For your viewing pleasure I present to you the trailer for Caught in the Crossfire if you are still so inKleined:
