In what is sure to be the last film in the morbid franchise, 'The Final Destination' opens this Friday.

The film stars Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Krista Allen, Mykelti Williamson, Haley Webb, Nick Zano, Andrew Fiscella and Richard T. Jones.

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. NIck persuades his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave -- escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality.

Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue, the crash survivors begin to die one by one in increasingly gruesome ways. Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular 'Final Destination' series, and its first 3-D installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride.

On DVD and Blu-ray are two exciting action films that should be worth seeing. The first is the 1978 cult classic Shaw Brothers film 'The 5 Deadly Venoms.' Although fans of the film likely already own a bootleg version that they got off the streets or recorded when the movie aired in the mid-'80s, Genius Products is releasing an official version of the film.

The dying master of the powerful Poison Clan assigns his final martial arts student one last epic quest: find his five most mysterious and dangerous disciples, each trained in a different fighting style, and bring them together to root out a conspiracy that could divide and destroy the entire clan. Who could ever forget the centipede, the snake, the scorpion, the lizard and the toad? This is must have for all kung fu fans.

The second film is Terrence Howard's 'Fighting,' which pairs him with Channing Tatum. Small-town boy Shawn MacArthur (Tatum) has come to New York City with nothing. Barely earning a living selling counterfeit goods on the streets, his luck changes when scam artist Harvey Boarden (Howard) sees that he has a natural talent for street fighting. When Harvey offers to help Shawn make some real cash, the two form an uneasy partnership.

As Shawn's manager, Harvey introduces him to the corrupt bare-knuckle circuit, where rich men bet on disposable pawns. Almost overnight, Shawn becomes a star brawler, taking down professional boxers, mixed martial arts champs and ultimate fighters in a series of staggeringly intense bouts. But if Shawn ever hopes to escape the dark world in which he's found himself, he must face the toughest fight of his life.

Philadelphia is often referred to as a mecca for American soul music, however its contributions to hip-hop have been overlooked despite the proliferation of artists who hail from the City of Brotherly Love. Native talents such as Will Smith, the Roots and Eve have become international music and entertainment stars, but somehow "Illadelph" still doesn't get props like New York, Los Angeles or even Atlanta.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of Philly's music scene is the powerful female voices that have emerged as artists, promoters and writers. 'Scene Not Heard,' a featurette produced and directed by Maori Karmael Holmes, seeks to tell their story. In her debut film, Holmes interviews some of the originators of hip-hop, including Lady B, Schoolly D, Monie Love and Rennie Harris, with vanguards such as Bahamadia and Ursula Rucker chiming in. The piece also features current talents such as the Jazzyfatnastees, Ms. Jade, and Lady Alma, as well as emerging talents Versus, Keen of Subliminal Orphans and Michele Byrd-McPhee of Montäzh.
