Being yourself

Damian Hale (Ben Kingsley), real estate mogul, does not have long left to live. He finds his way to one Professor Albright (Matthew Goode) where through a process called "shedding", Damian is reborn as Edward (Ryan Reynolds). Things get complicated as Damian finds that the body that he now occupies actually belongs to one deceased Mark, and Mark's wife Madeline (Natalie Martinez), has been struggling to bring up their six year old daughter, since Mark's demise. Self/ less is at the heart a simple story of heart over mind, man over machine, well constructed

Game Cars

Another game adaptation, Death Race locks hardened criminals on an island in a gladiatorial car chase combat. The movie would have been quite intolerable except for decent performances by Jason Statham and Joan Allen. Not a movie to proactively go out and seek unless it, well, comes and hits you much like the cars here
