2. New DVD and HD arrivals

(BOOK NOW) The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - Nominated for 4 Oscars in 1989 and directed by Monty Python's Terry Gilliam (The Fisher King), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen stars John Neville, Eric Idle and Uma Thurman. Neville is the eccentric Munchausen, an aristocrat who relies on the power of his imagination - and a crackpot band of henchmen - to defend their village from plunder. Idle plays the loyal Berthold, the world's fastest man, who hilariously outruns a speeding bullet all the way to Spain in just one hour to save the Baron's neck! When Munchausen's not collaborating with his screwball associates, he can be found walking on air - literally - with the lusciously beautiful Venus (Thurman). Filmed by Oscar nominee cinematographer Giuseppe Rotunno (Best Cinematographer, All That Jazz, 1979), with stunning special effects!

(BOOK NOW) Belle Epoque - Belle Epoque is the irresistible story of Fernando, a handsome young Spanish Civil War deserter who befriends a free-thinking artist. Fernando finds himself in a romantic dilemma when the artist's four beautiful daughters return to their country home-which woman should he romance? The answer is hilariously simple, as Fernando is seduced instead, by each of the high-spirited sisters. Belle Epoque is a rollicking sensual romp celebrating newfound sexual freedom for women. A delicious blend of humor and passion that captured the Oscar (1993) for Best Foreign Language Film and introduced the world to the enchanting beauty of Penelope Cruz (Vanilla Sky).

(BOOK NOW) Bye Bye Birdie - Enjoy one of America's best-loved musicals as Conrad Birdie (Marc Kudisch) mesmerizes audiences with his electric voice and energetic presence. Created in the mold of the great Elvis Presley, Conrad's manager Albert (Jason Alexander) organizes a farewell appearance for the star before he heads off to join the army. With the help of his devoted secretary Rosie (Platinum Selling Artist Vanessa Williams), Conrad is scheduled to perform on the historic "Ed Sullivan Show." Cue the hilarity as Conrad plans to bestow a parting kiss on the lips of innocent Kim Mac Afee (Platinum Selling Artist Chynna Phillips). Between Kim's disapproving father and her jealous boyfriend, the two seem destined to have their shocking stage performances nipped in the bud.

(BOOK NOW) Charlie Wilson's War (Oscar nominee) - Academy Award® winners Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman star in this compelling and witty film from Oscar®-winning director Mike Nichols and Primetime Emmy®-winning writer Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing). Based on the outrageous true story, Charlie Wilson's War shows how one congressman who loved a good time, one Houston socialite who loved a good cause and one renegade CIA agent who loved a good fight conspired to bring about the largest covert operation in history.

(BOOK NOW) Friday Night Lights: Season 2 - Friday Night Lights shines brighter than ever as the critically acclaimed series arrives in a 4-disc collection in 5.1 surround sound! From producers Brian Grazer (The Da Vinci Code), Peter Berg (The Kingdom) and Jason Katims and inspired by the best-selling book and hit film, Friday Night Lights provides a heartfelt look at the families, friendships, and faiths of residents in a closely knit Texan town. Featuring an incredible ensemble cast, this intense and compelling show has critics saying "there is no finer or truer drama on network TV" (Matt Roush, TV Guide). 

(BOOK NOW) I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With - Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm) wrote, directed and starred in this humorous look at a man who wants three things in life: someone to love, a great part, and to lose weight. Unfortunately, he is 0 for 3. His girlfriend dumps him, he loses a title acting role, and he sneaks out of an Overeaters Anonymous meeting only to wind up at an ice cream parlor. There, he meets Beth (Sarah Silverman) who quickly wins his heart, but will this cause James more problems than it solves? Or has he finally found someone to eat cheese with? Filled with hilarious performances from a great ensemble cast including Bonnie Hunt, Amy Sedaris, Richard Kind, Paul Mazursky, and Joey Slotnick.

(BOOK NOW) Major Dundee - Sam Peckinpah’s first big budget film was also the first to be taken away and released in a shortened version. But now, 40 years later, most of the missing footage has been located and restored, with the entire soundtrack remixed in 5.1 Dolby Digital, and a completely new score composed. The new scenes complete the electrifying depiction of an obsessive Union officer (Charlton Heston) who leads a squad of Rebel prisoners (Richard Harris), ex-slaves and criminals (James Coburn) into Mexico to hunt down a band of murdering Apaches - which raises the question: who represents the greater threat? Featuring one of the finest casts ever assembled for a Western, Major Dundee is an authentic American classic, at last presented as its legendary director intended!

(BOOK NOW) My Boy Jack - It’s 1914 and the British Empire’s greatest supporter, Rudyard Kipling (Haig) is at the peak of his literary fame. Kipling’s son Jack (Radcliffe), is determined to play his part in the imminent war with Germany but finds himself rejected due to his poor eyesight. Kipling uses his influence to land Jack a commission in the Irish Guards. Kipling’s wife Caronline (Cattrall) is bitterly upset, failing to see the glory in losing her only son to the war. How will the great writer, torn between his two greatest passions - devotion to King and Country and love for his family - justify the consequences of his actions to himself and his wife?

(BOOK NOW) Nero - He was the most ruthless, corrupt and deceptive ruler Rome had ever known. The Emperor Caligula has gone mad. Murdering his sister's husband for conspiracy, he exiles her and takes her son Lucius, who begins his historical legacy as Nero. Revenge, bloodlust and deception haunt Nero's rule. Brought to the throne by a counterfeit will, the Emperor constantly battles enemies at every turn, including his own mother. Afraid and paranoid, Nero eventually faces his own army as an enemy and falls victim to the Rome he once ruled.

(BOOK NOW) The Orphanage - Award-winning visionary Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and acclaimed director J.A. Bayona present a “positively terrifying” (John Anderson, Newsday) new vision of the classic ghost story. Returning to her chidhood home - mysterious, seaside orphanage - Laura and her family unknowingly unleash a long-forgotten, evil spirit. Now thrust into a chilling nightmare, Laura must confront the memories of her past before the ghosts of the orphanage destroy her... and everything she has ever loved.

(BOOK NOW) Remember Me, My Love - Gabrielle Muccino's bittersweet drama delves into the lives and loves of a modern Italian family whose individual aspirations pull at the seams of their increasingly fragile bonds. As their children come of age and begin to follow their own dreams, Carlo (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) finds himself torn between his marriage to Giulia (Laura Morante) and a passionate affair with Alessia (Monica Bellucci), while Guilia must face her own buried desires.

(BOOK NOW) Romulus, My Father - Developed with director Richard Roxburgh over seven years, ROMULUS, MY FATHER has been adapted for the screen by poet and playwright, Nick Drake. Based on Raimond Gaita’s critically acclaimed memoir. It tells the story of Romulus, his beautiful wife, Christina, and their struggle in the face of great adversity to bring up their son, Raimond. It is, ultimately, a story of impossible love that celebrates the unbreakable bond between a father and a son.

(BOOK NOW) Savages (Oscar nominee) - “In her consummately executed, irreverent drama The Savages, Tamara Jenkins achieves a rare storytelling feat: making us simultaneously laugh and cry. In what may evolve into a new genre, the coming-of-middle-age story, she has captured all the pain and misgivings that befall a pair of adult siblings, suddenly plucked from their very absorbed lives and forced to care for a parent who never much bothered to care for them...”

(BOOK NOW) Signs - From M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, comes the story of the Hess family in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. One morning they wake up to find a 500- foot crop circle in their backyard. Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) and his family are told extraterrestrials are responsible for the sign in their field. They watch the news as crop circles are soon found all over the world. Signs is an emotional story of one farm as they encounter the possibility the world is being invaded. "It's easy for a filmmaker to blow up the world - but what Shyamalan does is much riskier. He tries to blow our minds. I was engaged by every inch of Signs." -Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

(BOOK NOW) Starting Out in the Evening - Battling illness and unable to finish a novel that has taken him ten years to write, aging novelist Leonard Schiller is slipping into literary obscurity. Formerly a famous author, Schiller has been all but forgotten by the readers, colleagues and critics who once praised him. But when Heather Wolfe, an ambitious graduate student, convinces Schiller that her thesis could reintroduce his writing to the world, the reclusive writer is forced to confront his past regrets. Frank Langella delivers a career-capping performance as a man who must redefine his work - and his perceptions - in the twilight of his life.
