DVD RELEASES
Brooklyn's Finest
Don Cheadle and Wesley
Snipes
The breakdown: Three
unconnected Brooklyn cops
wind up at the same deadly
location after enduring vastly
different career paths.
Why you should see it: It's
been a long time since we've
seen Wesley Snipes on the
big screen and Don Cheadle
is the best actor in the biz who
hasn't won an Oscar. Can't
wait.
March 5
Our Family Wedding
Forest Whitaker, Regina King
and Lance Gross
The breakdown: The weeks
leading up to a young couple's
wedding is comic and
stressful, especially as their
respective fathers (Whitaker
and Mencia) try to lay to rest
their feud.
Why you should see it: It's
about time we get this
interracial angle in a movie.
African Americans and
Hispanics have been mixing it
up forever.
March 12
Repo Men
Forest Whitaker

near future when artificial
organs can be bought on

the payments on a heart he
has purchased. He must
therefore go on the run before
said ticker is repossessed.
Why you should see it: This is
not a remake of the 1984
Emilio Estevez movie. This is
actually an interesting premise
and Academy Award winner
Forest Whitaker is always
money.
March 19

friends, all of them bored with
their adult lives, travel back to

movie with a title this stupid
has to be a ton of fun.
