Mystery of War
Director Paul Greengrass reteams with his Bourne series star in Green Zone, casting Matt Damon as a warrant officer looking for Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq. As his raids turn up empty warehouses, his investigation leads him to a CIA official (Brendan Gleeson), a Pentagon insider (Greg Kinnear), and a journalist (Amy Ryan) looking for similar answers... but as his witnesses, sources, and leads dry up, the mystery starts to evolve from finding the WMDs to discovering who is keeping secrets, and why all the information keeps evaporating. On DVD and Blu Ray.Great Loves
Christopher Plummer and Helen Mirren were both nominated for Academy Awards for their portrayals of Leo and Sophia Tolstoy in The Last Station. Set in 1910, in the last year of Tolstoy's life, as Leo's principles (pro-celibacy and anti-property) have inspired a near-religious group of followers called "Tolstoians," which conflicts with Sophia's more pragmatic desires to keep their lifestyle and property for their children. The leader of the Tolstoians (Paul Giamatti) hires James McAvoy to serve as Tolstoy's secretary--
he seems to be a perfect fit: a virgin, fully dedicated to "The Master"-- but his time at the Tolstoy estate reveals a strange and compelling family, and facets of life that are completely new to him. With Kerry Condon. On DVD and Blu Ray.Jay Baruchel is working at the airport and struggling to get back together with his dismissive ex (Lindsay Sloane) when he finds himself going out with the beautiful, successful Molly (Alice Eve) in She's Out of My League. His friends (T.J. Miller and Nate Torrence) tell him that the blooming relationship is doomed-- no way a "5" like him can last with a "10" like Molly-- while her best friend and business partner (Krysten Ritter) can't understand what Molly's doing with a geeky loser, but they might be able to put their friends' rules aside and find their own way to make things work. On DVD and Blu Ray.

The two bond over the losses in their life and begin to fall in love; though their relationship is fraught with drama, their time together helps both of them overcome the traumas in their past. With Pierce Brosnan.
Emma Caulfield is waiting for Mr. Right in Timer, where most people have displays implanted on their wrists which countdown to the day where they'll meet their perfect match...
but hers is blank. Her sister (Michelle Borth) uses the years on her countdown time to meet casual, no-strings-attached guys, and encourages her to do the same; if she follows through with the sweet, slacker, checkout boy at the grocery store (John Patrick Amedori), what will she do when he meets his perfect soulmate, as his Timer counts down the next four months? With Desmond Harrington.Scott Porter is a high power Wall Street trader who falls in love with Alexis Bledel in The Good Guy, but the competitive world he lives in spills over into his love life, as she becomes the prize in a competition with his co-worker Bryan Greenberg. As she wants the perfect life and the perfect man, the two guys apply the ethics of their job to a cutthroat game to win her heart. With Anna Chlumsky.
Odds 'n' Ends
Patrick Warburton is the title character in Rock Slyde, a Marlowe-style, voice-over narrating, down-on his luck detective. Taking a case just to keep his office in a building that has been taken over by a quasi-religious cult leader (Andy Dick), he's got to protect his client and keep safe his long suffering secretary, which isn't easy for a big guy in a tiny car and little chance of making sense of what's going on around him... though he's set on keeping the lights low and the narration running, no matter what.The documentary The Tiger Next Door investigates the private owners of large cats, the conditions in which privately owned lions, leopards, and tigers are kept, and the people who care for them. The film looks at both schools of thought: the collectors love their cats, and keep them as well as they can, though their detractors see the cats as prisoners, kept from the life that is natural to wild animals.
