Wes Anderson's first PG film is and adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved Fantastic Mr. Fox. Mr. Fox (George Clooney) is a natural at stealing chickens and evading predators, but pulling "one last job" means breaking a promise to his wife (Meryl Streep) and putting his whole community in danger. With a huge cast of characters, Fantastic Mr. Fox interweaves the lives of the Fox family and their entire underground community as they declare war on a trio of nasty farmers (led by Michael Gambon) in a game of one-upsmanship that includes knockout blueberries, rabid dogs, explosive cider, and a vicious rat security guard (Willem Dafoe). With Jason Schwartzman. On DVD and Blu Ray.

Their journey through Iraq might be based on a transcendent vision, and Lynn will only know his objective when he finds it, but the entire adventure is bound to make an amazing story. With Kevin Spacey. On DVD and Blu Ray.
