Today's DVD Recommendation (for brave lovers of cinema violence and energy)

Suppose you made a movie and you managed to cast Mickey Rourke, Christopher Walken, Jerry Springer, Jacqueline Bisset, two cast members of Beverly Hills 90210, and Tom Waits to maximize the iconic status of each. Throw in the editing energy of Martin Scorsese that you saw in the most extreme sections of Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino. After that, write a script that looks like a sequel to Natural Born Killers. Throw in a cameo with real LA gang members. Finally, base the main character on super rich child of an actor and a model who changes careers from model to bounty hunter to avoid boredom. And make sure you have a jumpin' soundtrack that includes Tom Jones' version of Mama Told Me Not to Come.
