Rev up your engines you juvenile delinquents as a little seen film by Robert Rodriquez barrels onto Blu-ray. Well, it did come out on VHS . remember that? The film is a homage to those 1950s rebel teen films and for a film shot in a total of 13 days actually comes out looking more like a hot rod than a clunker. Dude (David Arquette) has big dreams but he.s stuck in his small Texas town smoking cigs and driving around in his hot rod with his girl Donna (Salma Hayek) and his buddy Nixer (John Hawkes). One evening they meet up with Teddy (Jason Wiles) and a war of words is only fueled by a flicked cigarette »

Back in 1994, long before his Oscar-nominated turn in Winter's Bone, John Hawkes joined a cast of up and coming young actors in director Robert Rodriguez's follow-up to El Mariachi, Roadracers. David Arquette and Salma Hayek starred as the star-crossed lovers Dude and Donna in this 1950s-set drama, just before they became household names, and John Hawkes played Dude's sidekick, Nixer. Roadracers made its debut on Blu-ray this week, and I had the chance to speak with John Hawkes about this fantastic and under-seen drama. Here's what he had to say.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't know how funny you were before I saw this. I thought you were hilarious as Nixer.
John Hawkes: Oh, thank you very much. I was really proud of it. I moved out here, after doing plays and being a part of a theater company in Texas. It was one of the few times, »

While the future of home entertainment may be rapidly moving towards a digital streaming-led future, we can't be the only movie nerds who still love owning a physical copy of something. Sure, BluRay and DVD might be scratchable, easily lost and adorned by terrible box art, but there's something about the feeling of finding an undiscovered gem in the depths of a store, or getting a rarity in the post, that doesn't quite compare to clicking and watching something on Netflix.
As such, starting with this column, every month we're going to pick out five BluRays or DVDs new to the market that no self-respecting cinephile's shelves could do without. Some are shiny new versions of stone-cold classics, some are obscurities, some might even be brand new releases (although less often: those are covered pretty well elsewhere). Read on for more.

Jo (Sela ward) is thrown against a mirror and hovers between consciousness, as a man walks around the room, which we know can only be Curtis (Jason Wiles) and throws bullets around. 48 hours earlier Jo spots a man outside the courtroom, who is revealed as Frank (Michael Weston). Serena (Jenn Proske) is distraught over Curtis walking free. Jo is adamant they will get him. The Senator (Jeffrey Nordling) asks how she can say that. Jo isn't involved in the case and "the case still fell apart." That's a damning indictment against Lindsay (Anna Belknap) and her skills if ever there was one, ha. 3 years ago Washington DC, a flashback to Jo meeting the Senator and Serena. He doesn't want any press involvement that's why he called in the FBI. Serena was drinking and blames herself. Present day Jo gets out the evidence and Mac (Gary Sinise) reaffirms she can't be on this case, »

A man comes too on the floor of an apartment and the TV plays in the background, a scene about self defence and not being believed. He leaves on his bike. A jury and judge arrive to view a Cs and the judge is shot by a shooter on a bike. Mac (Gary Sinise) picks up his rolling cigar. Flack (Eddie Cahill) comments the criminal court judge was shot under the noses of the cops and the jury was sequestered. Judge Vinnie Corsica (Brad Blaisdell) was presiding over the Markov trial, a Russian mobster. Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) talks about him being the "Sammy Bull of Russian organized crime and Markov has "a dozen bodies on him." Mac: "Looks like it just went to a baker's dozen." Groan that was definitely one of Stella's lines. Hawkes (Hill Harper) and Lindsay (Anna Belknap) process the Cs. Hawkes finds a smashed bullet. Three »

A teen party goes viral and out of control when a balcony collapses, leaving one dead, Libby (Valentina de Angelis). Flack (Eddie Cahill) calls it "most parents' worst nightmare: someone spills their drink on a new carpet." Continuing, "Welcome to the end of the world as we know it." Wow Flack actually got the end line before the opening credits. Sid (Robert Joy) actually gets out of the autopsy lab to personally attend the Db at the scene. She was asphyxiated. Jo (Sela ward) estimates there were than fifty on the balcony, plus the marble table. Danny (Carmine Giovinazzo) collects prints from the table. Back at the lab, Hawkes (Hill Harper) and Lindsay (Anna Belknap) calculate the stress analysis (could have just put her on the contraption.) Hawkes calculates without the use of a calculator, but Lindsay insists on using a calculator anyway, as if he'd be wrong. The balcony »
