Five men and two wom-en, employees of a multinational arms supplier, go on a team-building expedition in Hungary and end up in the woods, getting hoisted by their own petard. Watch out for that rocket launcher. I'm not going to tell you anything else. The jolts are juicy and so are the jokes as the office leader (Tim McInnerny) watches his team get picked off in increasingly hairy ways. Director and co-writer Christopher Smith, mischievously blending The Office with Friday the 13th, keeps things fierce and funny enough to give Steve Carell ideas.

    “My President”

    Young Jeezy | 2008

    Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
