It’s a jam-packed week, with plenty of movies waiting to take you money, so let us breakdown the new releases and highlight what you should – and shouldn’t – be buying from today, September 24th 2012.
Pick(S) Of The Week
The Raid (DVD/Blu-ray)
Deep in the heart of one of Jakarta’s most deprived slums stands an impenetrable high-rise apartment block. To most it is 30 floors of Hell to be avoided at all costs but for many of the city’s most dangerous killers and gangsters, including the area’s most notorious crime lord, it is a fortress-like safe house protecting them from the law. Even for the bravest and most experienced police officers it is considered a no-go area.

Originally produced for Channel 4, Being N-Dubz is a six-part reality series following the band throughout their ups and downs, highs and lows. Using state of the art head cams, the show follows the troublesome trio as they lay down tracks in the studio, go head-to-head with rival Lethal Bizzle at a charity football match, go to Greece for a music show and tour the UK to sold out arenas.
Ok, I’ll admit it. I’m a fan of N-Dubz. I’ve liked their music ever since I first heard and saw the video for “You Better Not Waste My Time” on Channel U (now known as Channel Aka) back in 2006. And whilst I may not appreciate their crazy antics outside the studio, they still produced some great music, with some lyrical flair and a real rawness not heard in mainstream UK music in years. However despite making good decisions when it comes writing,...

Def Jam have announced this week that they have axed N-Dubz from their label.
The American record company parted ways with the British hip hop group, because of a reported clash in personalities and ‘creative differences’, though band member Dappy insists that the situation came about because he, Fazer and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos refused to be ‘moulded’ into a typical pop group.
Trouble is said to have arisen after L.A. Reid, the man who signed N- Dubz in the states, left the label to join the X Factor USA panel earlier this year. Without his direction and foresight, the group are said to have struggled to work with any other label bosses, who wanted to change their look, style and musical direction before launching the into the Us charts.
Dappy hit out at executives saying it was their decision to leave Def Jam, because they wouldn’t agree to the plans.

N-Dubz have parted ways with their Us record label Def Jam, it has been revealed. Dappy, Fazer and new X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos were informed this week that their deal had come to an end, after clashing with bosses over their creative direction, The Sun reports. The issues are said to have started when Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, the man who helped signed them, left the label to join The X Factor USA. New bosses apparently tried to mould the band into a pop act. Dappy said: "They might say they've dropped us but we were never going to co-operate with them when they decided to change what we are. If we had co-operated we would still be signed. But I stuck my finger up at them when they wanted us to make another Being N-Dubz TV show. "Tulisa thought we should do it because we could make some money out of it,...
