Experience the magic of this rhapsodic epic of the heart starring Freddie Highmore (as August), Keri Russell, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Terrence Howard and Robin Williams.

As though that weren't twisted enough, Tory soon discovers that Hope's death was only the first in a string of murders that have continued every year since that terrible day. And the worst part? This sociopath has been waiting patiently for Tory's return. So now she's got two choices: use her supernatural powers to catch this killer or end up his next victim!

He will realize he's been framed. And he will run. Then he will wake up and start the day over again. This time he'll do it differently - and will continue to - until he finds out who's framing him, gets his gang witness to court to testify, and saves the lives of his loved ones. Hopper has only one advantage in his favor - he remembers everything he did the "day prior" that didn't work. It's a painful way to learn, because he also carries the bruises and battle scars from every mistake-filled day. Taye Diggs (Private Practice) stars in an action-packed, thriller from director Rob Bowman (The X-Files, Reign of Fire) and writer Paul Zbyszewski (After the Sunset).

When talk of a school merger gets serious and Coach Scoyoc is fired, then replaced by his 24-year-old assistant, Kent Stock (Sean Astin, Rudy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy), failure seems inevitable.

(BOOK NOW) Fortysomething: Complete Series - Maybe it's when you can't remember exactly where your wife works - or whether she works at all.

Mutant plague victims lurk in the shadows...watching Neville's every move...waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind’s last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find an antidote using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered...and quickly running out of time. (BOOK NOW) In the Name of the King - Based on the best-selling action-fantasy game and filled with spectacular visual effects, this epic tale of heroism, courage and destiny is brought to life by an all-star cast: Jason Statham (War), Leelee Sobieski (Joy Ride), John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy), Ron Perlman (Hellboy), Claire Forlani (TV's CSI: NY), Matthew Lillard (Scream), Ray Liotta (Wild Hogs) and Burt Reynolds (The Longest Yard).
