TITLE: Battlestar Galactica – The Complete Series

GENRE: Science-fiction

STARS: Edward James Olmos, Mary McDonnell, Tricia Helfer, Grace Park, Katee Sackhoff, Jamie Bamber, James Callis, Tahmoh Penikett, Kandyse McClure, Lucy Lawless

FUN FACT: In the original 1978 cult classic TV show, the womanizing, gambling, wise-ass, cigar-smoking Starbuck character was male and played by Dirk Benedict. The Sci-Fi Channel’s re-imagining of the show featured the luscious Katee Sackhoff in the role, drinking, cursing, and sexing up a storm. You’d have to be a robot to not be excited by that decision.

WHY COMPLEX IS CO-SIGNING IT: Battlestar Galactica, a complicated chronicle of the outer space conflict between mankind and the sentient machines it created and enslaved, is arguably the best science-fiction television series ever (sorry if you just Shatnered in your pants)…

It’s got deep themes, tackling issues of race, religion, socio-economics, terrorism, and much more. It’s also got a deep roster of fine-ass women (including June/July 2008 Complex cover girl Grace Park). The special effects used to bring robot Centurion Cylons and outer space battles to life are unrivaled and amazing considering the short production time of television. If all this weren’t enough, the redux BSG series uses “frak,” a cool futuristic version of the curse word “fuck” (it was “frack” in the original series), so characters could drop frequent f-bombs on TV like actual people. We could not frak with this show any harder—at least not without some serious chafing.

DVD SPECIAL FEATURES: Commentaries, featurettes, video blogs, webisodes, deleted scenes, and extended episodes (that were originally featured in the original single-season DVD sets); special box packaging; a Cylon action figure

While in her late 40s, Colombian cocaine queen Griselda Blanco liked to tell her friends, “I’m the baddest bitch to ever take a breath of life.” If you need proof, watch Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin’ With The Godmother, a spin-off of the 2006 documentary that drops today. While the original examined Miami drug trafficking in the late '70s and early '80s, the sequel focuses in on the post-Miami operation of Blanco (aka The Godmother), detailing how she fell in love with Oakland man Charles Cosby and recruited him to run her national cocaine distribution network while behind bars in the early '90s.

Told primarily through interviews with Cosby, along with archival footage and animated reenactments, CC2 is easily as riveting as the original. But while the first documentary offered broad social commentary about the effects of drug money on Miami, the sequel is much more of a focused character study about how these strange bedfellows developed a symbiotic relationship. If that doesn’t make you want to watch…did we mention that there’s a segment where they give instructions on how to cook crack? Either way, there’s something for the whole family. Watch the trailer here or learn how to win a copy of the DVD below.


To win a copy of the Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin’ With The Godmother, answer the following three questions correctly:

1. Griselda Blanco is originally from Medellín, Columbia. What other infamous drug trafficker called this city home?

2. Cocaine Cowboys 2 takes place primarily in Oakland, CA. Name three rappers from Oakland who have gone platinum.

3. Griselda Blanco named her son Michael Corleone, after Al Pacino’s character in The Godfather. In the first movie, what island does Michael flee to after killing the men who shot his father?

Email your responses to contest@complex.com. If you’re one of the first two people to answer correctly, we will send you a copy of Cocaine Cowboys 2.

This is the question you'll be asking yourself while peeping the Diane Lane thriller Untraceable, which comes out on DVD today. Lane, my 43-year-old wet dream girl, plays an FBI agent on the hunt for a serial killer who broadcasts his murders live online. The catch is that he's not technically the one killing people; torture devices are hooked up to his Killwithme.com site's hit counter, so increased traffic accelerates a victim's death and anyone who logs on becomes an accomplice to murder. (Thankfully nobody has set this up in real life because we already have enough Internet thugs pretending they're killers. Come see Ayo! Scott, you cock goblins!)

A lot of serial killer flicks thrust a dull message into your gut, but Untraceable was sharp enough to get me thinking. Maybe the movie is hypocritical for depicting torture to entertain me, then suggesting I'm an asshole for digging it, but I can enjoy a torture scene without analyzing it to death. Personally, I like to just watch Lane from afar with a cold one in one hand and a hot one in the other. It does the trick for me until there's online video of her husband, that motherfucking lucky asshole James Brolin, involved in equestrian bukkake. See the trailer for Untraceable after the break.

Great things come in twos; we're talking in sports here. Jordan and Pippen, Aikmen and Smith, Canseco and McGuire, Hosoi and Hawk ' skateboarding's dynamic duo. Last night at New York's Knitting Factory, Christian Hosoi, the rock star anti-thesis to Tony Hawk's nerdy fundamentals, and arguably the greatest skateboarder of all time, previewed his new documentary Rising Son: The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi for a packed house of fans and legends (Steve Caballero). Soon to be released this November, the DVD oddly produced by rap documentarian QD3 and Quiksilver, chronicles the life of Hosoi, narrated by Dennis “Pop Question” Hopper. The film's twists and curveballs were nothing compared to Hosoi's historical flamboyance, like rocking pink pants and hair extensions'and you thought skinny-jeans were funny-style. Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, Danny Way, and Jason Lee all hailed the king of skate, just like the audience when he took the stage at the end of the film to briefly speak about his rocky life of fame, prison, and finding God.

After a whirlwind of a career, Hosoi is living well skating for Quiksilver, taking care of his family and as a church pastor.

He’s still go it.
