Shaft [DVD] [Standard]

This updating of/sequel to the popular series of 1970s blaxploitation films stars Samuel L. Jackson as John Shaft, an NYPD detective and nephew of the original InchShaftInch (Richard Roundtree). The younger Shaft throws away his badge in order to capture a rich creep (Christian Bale) responsible for killing a black teen in front of a trendy New York restaurant. Toni Collette, Jeffrey Wright, Vanessa L. Williams also star in this retro actioner from director John Singleton. 99 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks; English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo, French; Subtitles English (SDH).

A decade after Zombieland became a hit film and a cult classic, the lead cast (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone) have reunited for Zombieland: Double Tap. In the sequel where the comic mayhem stretches from the White House and through the heartland, these four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own snarky, makeshift family.
