Down the Rabbit Hole
Another re-imagining of Lewis Carrol's classic fables, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland rejoins the life of Alice (Mia Wasikowska), now nineteen years old and with no memory of her childhood adventures, who flees a young woman's troubles of propriety and marriage and ends up down the rabbit hole once again. Led by the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) through a candy colored world, she encounters the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman) and the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), and struggles against her destiny to slay the Jabberwock and defeat the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). The story unfolds as an epic adventure, mixing computer and practical effects, and is a must-see for anyone who wants to see Crispin Glover in a swordfight with Johnny Depp (as the Mad Hatter). On DVD and Blu Ray.Bloodshed
When Benicio Del Toro's brother is killed, he returns to his family's estate to investigate if it was an animal attack or a savage murder in The Wolfman. When the truth about local deaths turn

Raul, a fifty-something dancer obsessed with the main character from Saturday Night Fever, sees his chance at fame competing in a Tony Manero impersonating contest... though his obsession with his idol can take depraved turns in a world where violence is everywhere.
Pro wrestler Steve Austin is a man with no memory in The Stranger-- pursued by the FBI and the mob, but with no idea why they want him. His memory slowly returns one fight, bullet, and beating at a time, as he slowly resolves to reclaim his past and make sure the ones who stole his life pay for what they took. With Erica Cerra and Adam Beach.
