Nine Clips from ‘Black Swan’

Trailer Talk: ‘Death Race 2’
— by SEAN GERSKI — I never saw the Jason Statham version of “Death Race.” Sure, I thought about it. I mean, I like watching Statham blow stuff up as much as anyone. Yet, I still haven’t got around to checking it out. However, the one reason I even thought about watching[...]
