Blu-ray Review – Cradle 2 the Grave

In the late 1990s, Hollywood wanted to make rapper DMX a movie star.
It's not an uncommon practice to turn someone known exclusively for
their musical achievements into an actor, yet with DMX, the effort
seemed hopelessly misguided. Stiff and unconvincing, the hip-hop artist

producer Joel Silver, who brought DMX in to flavor 2000's "Romeo Must

Sensing screen magic, Silver reunited DMX with "Romeo" star Jet Li for
